 Starpulse's Stephanie Nolasco recently interviewed Cassandra Peterson (Elvira). Nolasco told Cassandra she heard the Mistress of the Dark learned everything she needed to know from none other than Elvis Presley and drag queens. Below is Cassandra's answer. "I don’t know if I learned everything from Elvis, but I definitely got great advice from him. At the time I was the youngest showgirl in Vegas and if it weren’t for Elvis, I would now be the oldest showgirl in Vegas history. I thought I had made it. It went all downhill from there (laughs). Elvis was the one who convinced me I could go further, instead of just staying in Vegas and dancing. It made a big impact on my life, obviously. Coming from Elvis you’re going to take his advice, right?" Read full Elvira interview here

Linda Thompson was out to dinner @ Mr Chow's in Beverly Hills last week, when a pap for TMZ asked her about Elvis. She was first asked what her fondest memory of Elvis was, to which she answered, "his generosity, he was just a good, kind person. That was the big stand out feature. And he had a great sense of humor as well. And he was kinda talented." Another pap then asked, out of all of your lovers, where does he rank? She says, "Where do you think?" she coyly laughs. The pap then asks, can you talk about that with us? Linda then playfully says, "What do you mean? All my lovers? I'm a good girl! I could count on one hand here." The pap then says, "Of all yours lovers, how was he in bed?" To which Linda replies, " Let's just say he was the king in more ways than just Rock & Roll!"
