Tonight 8:30 PM ELVIS Time! 9:30 PM EST!

I waited to write this until most of my friends had actually gone to the theater to watch the movie themselves. Before the movie was released, I watched and read little press on this film. I wanted to see it blindly without any sway either way. June 21st, I went to see the film for the first time. It was a small audience for the advanced screening. A quiet and respectful crowd. The minute Austin hit the screen, I had goose bumps from start to finish. Not just because of his uncanny resemblance but his presence, his energy, you could just feel it. This young actor put his heart and soul into learning Elvis in every way. Especially in the way, a truly gifted actor much like a Daniel Day Lewis who becomes his study. Austin isn’t creepy or cheap like most ETAs are thought of. And no disrespect to ETA’s because many are not that. They actually are amazing Elvis fans. But I say this because I see a lot of comments about ETAs and Austin. Please don’t compare these men. Austin is an ...

If you are an Elvis or Presley family fan, get ready! We are about to go DEEP! I told you about Leah Remini and Mike Render's new podcast, Scientology:Fair Game . A new episode just dropped and it is about the suicide of Lisa Marie's son Ben Keough and the church of Scientology. In addition to the death of Kelly Preston. But you'll have to listen for yourself. I'm just talking about the Presley family here. This is honest and raw, not tabloid gossip. It is from Leah's and Mike's personal dealings with Lisa Marie and her family and the church. This will give you more understanding from a Scientologist member's perspective. It is an insight into the church and it's methods dealing with children, celebrity, and addiction. Alright here we go......Buckle Up! Leah refers to Lisa Marie as Lisa Presley. Leah reached out to Lisa Marie when she heard the tragic news of Ben's passing. She has not heard back as of yet. Leah wants everyone to know that their ...

I love a good podcast for long days in the sun. And this came at just the right time. I have read 5 books in the last two weeks. My eyes need a rest! While searching for a good podcast, I stumbled upon this. I am very picky about my podcasts. I like True Crime and I like it sounding professional, very well researched and quality guests. This podcast checked all the boxes. In fact, I listened to the first episode TWICE so far. If you watched Leah Remini and Mike Render's show on A & E, Scientology and the aftermath , you are ahead of the game. If you haven't seen it, it is a MUST as I have said in the past . Listening to the podcast alone is not enough. So if you have not seen the show or you're diving deep here like myself, the show is streaming on Hulu . This Podcast digs a bit deeper. It's like the companion book. You need both! What is Fair Game? A term used to describe the taking care of "Threats and enemies" of Scientology. Mike Render e...

Priscilla Presley took to Facebook yesterday to address the death of her only grandson, Ben Keough . Priscilla has once again proven herself to be a true Matriarch of the Presley family . Lisa Marie Presley's mother expressed her sorrow, worry and hurt for her children and grandchildren. "I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through as she was a doting mother. Ben’s father, Danny, who is completely lost, as Ben was his only son. Riley, so loving and so close to him; Harper and Finley, who absolutely adored Ben. Navarone, who struggles deeply with loss and death. Rest In Peace Ben, you were loved." Never once mentioning herself. That's the mother and grandmother in her! Selfless and strong! A True Matriarch of the Presley Family! Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers!
