Megan, Barbara Eden, and Brian B Sorry to be the bearer of bad news folks! But Barbara Eden will NOT be attending Elvis Week 2012. We have officially confirmed this. Here is the statement, short and sweet, "Due to conflicting schedules Ms. Eden regrets she will be unable to attend Elvis Week." I had a suspicion this would happen. Call it an Elvis fan's intuition;) But rest assure fans, Barbara is a lovely woman who has nothing but great things to say about her work with Elvis. We had the chance to spend an afternoon with Barbara back in the fall where we spoke with her in depth about Elvis then and now. And we'll bring you that very soon! Beyond the Elvis connection, this is Jeannie! I Dream of Jeannie, a true American classic!

His longtime spokesman, Harry Flynn, told The Associated Press that Borgnine died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with his family by his side. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Borgnine family especially his lovely wife, Tova. I had the pleasure of meeting Ernest and Tova last year. They were very friendly. It was an honor I'll never forget. An absolute legend! Rest in peace! You will be missed!

by Megan Murphy I have said this a million times before, Priscilla Presley is the CLASSIEST lady in all of Hollywood , maybe even the world! Watch as this autograph hound gets upset with how Priscilla's bodyguard positions his photo for her to sign. He goes on to tell the guard, "Don't touch my stuff, you damage my stuff, I'm going to damage something of yours." The guard calmly says, "No, you're not!" It then escalates, and Priscilla the classy lady that she is, tries to mediate the situation, but the guy begins to flip out and Priscilla's guard takes him DOWN! You can hear Priscilla yell, "Hey!" and "Oh My God" as she looks on. But there still are eager fans waiting for her signature. So the professional she is, Priscilla resumes signing for fans. But you can clearly see she is visibly shaken. Ms. Presley continually turns around to check on the situation looming in the background. Although the a...

Click on photo to enlarge Elvis and Priscilla Presley were featured as part of a trivia question on the Today Show this week. The question was based on Dynamic Duos! Elvis and Priscilla was not the correct answer! The answer was Lucy and Desi Arnaz . Lucy was actually 6 years older than Desi . When they married, they fibbed on their marriage license, stating Lucy was 3 years younger and Desi was 3 years older , making them the same age! Regis Philbin and Kathy Lee Gifford Earlier this week, Regis Philbin co-hosted the 4th hour of NBC's the Today Show with Kathy Lee . Reg was filling in for Hoda . Regis and Kathy Lee co-hosted The Morning Show and later known as LIVE! with Regis and Kathy Lee on ABC for 15 years! They received 11 Emmy Nominations ! It was great seeing this dynamic duo back together again. It would be nice to have Regis back on tv daily either on the Today show or even better, get rid of that Piers Morgan , and put Regis in Larry K...

And as with all of her shows before, no photographs were to be taken during her performance. Chu...
