BP Fallon performing, I Believe in Elvis Presley on RTE's Imelda May Show Dublin Live reports Dublin singer Imelda May has said she doesn't know if her RTE music programme will come back this year. The rockabilly star, who has presented the programme for the past two years, admitted the State broadcaster hasn't approached her about renewal despite high viewing figures. When asked if RTE had offered her a slot for The Imelda May Show yet, the 41-year-old said: “No, they haven’t. “They never ask me until the last minute and then it’s panic stations trying to get it organised. I don’t know what the story is.” The rockabilly star told how she loved helping boost musicians’ careers through the show, adding Irish talent needs to be showcased more. Imelda added: “[The programme] did very well and the ratings were very good, I’m happy for it. “A lot of the bands that were on it have done very well, the ones that weren’t well known have done well since.” With Bruce Spring...

People Magazine The King wore a purple velvet suit ,   (jacket was deep purple ONLY, the rest was BLACK ), a massive gold belt buckle and came bearing a pistol, framed in a display case, when he visited the White House on Dec. 21, 1970, hoping to meet President Richard Nixon. ( It was 1971, NOT POST 9-11). The famous encounter, the subject of a new  sh*t movie , Elvis & Nixon, starring Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon, has long been one of the most bizarre   (There's that Buzz word again, Elvis fans!)  chapters in presidential history. More than 45 years later, a new book by former White House Secret Service agent Clint Hill, about his years serving Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford, describes the memorable moment when Elvis Presley arrived at the northwest gate of the White House. Hill, 84, thought he'd heard it all until he got a call that day from his administrative assistant. "Clint, you're never going to believe what just happene...

 If Michael Shannon hasn't proved his disrespect for Elvis YET, read this from a Billboard interview: "He took acting seriously and wanted to do better films. I still can't get through Viva Las Vegas , but he was great in King Creole. It was something he ran into time and time again: He wasn't taken seriously. Hello Ugly Elvis...the chemistry ALONE in this film....geez! Maybe Harum Scarum but Viva? No way! $ellout failed AGAIN! This just shows how much Shannon learned and studied about Elvis. And the respect he took away. ZERO POINT ZERO! TAKE THE PAYCHECK AND RUN!  That is what Jerry taught them, the hero! So let me a fellow Elvis fan school you,  Elvis' movies made so much money, they funded the biggest movies ever made. I bet $ellout didn't tell you that. And the little he told the actors about Elvis compared to the huge quantity about himself is very clear to true Elvis fans.

This Elvis and Nixon movie has me so enraged. The joke, the "character" of Elvis, the Mickey Mouse, the fairy tale he is becoming. The press, the actors and the public taking jabs at him. It's heart breaking to me. I thought of this song by Elvis' daughter, Nobody Noticed It and I remembered her interview with Rolling Stone. So I dug it out and below, she talks about seeing other so called friends betray her dad. When she says they were trying to take his dignity....that hit home for me. That's exactly how I feel about this movie and the media circus. The on line comments calling him a junkie and worse, people taking this movie as true and we all know that becomes TRUTH in today's society. Elvis was so proud of the day he visited the White House. And it is killing me that actors, press and the public are calling this Bizarre, Insane, Crazy, and Ridiculous. And WORSE, they are laughing at him. As Lisa says, "You  slithering motherf*ckers have no...

Michael Shannon , I mean Ugly Elvis appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon wearing a DRACULA cape impersonating Elvis. After a few jabs at Elvis' expense, he mentions Lauderdale Courts in Memphis. Nothing flattering said about Elvis. Enjoy the paycheck courtesy of Elvis!
