    During last night's candlelight vigil, Priscilla Presley wished Elvis a Happy Birthday. She actually mentioned his birthday 7 times while speaking on the 45th anniversary of his death. If this was a one off, I'd get it. We all misspeak. It's Elvis Week, you're tired. But 7 times? It almost got to the point where she had the crowd singing. Priscilla did ask the crowd to wish him a Happy Birthday and in this short clip, you can hear a handful do so. Very bizarre! I have seen some people blame Scientology . This just is not true. In fact, Scientologists celebrate the birthday, and I mean actual birthday of their leader, L.Ron Hubbard . Not his death date, his actual birthday. Scientologists also in fact have funerals and memorial services for their deceased. It is in no way referred to as a birthday. That's an entirely different religion.   Lastly, Priscilla has never done this in the past.I think she was tired and got confused. We all have been there during a ...

Many fans were watching the candlelight service on livestream. And from the start, it became a bizarre event! First, Priscilla Presley referred to it as Elvis' birthday . OK, one time I get it, we are all getting older, tiredness etc. But she referred to this as his birthday many times to the point, I thought she was going to have the crowd sing Happy Birthday Elvis. I kid you not! Seriously! So bizarre!  But she did look great as always. All kidding aside, I get it. We all have been there during a big Elvis Week, you're so tired, you don't make sense! Priscilla, get some rest! You're scaring me!  Next, we get Tom Brown Live from the green screen of the "front lawn" , great to see Tom, ok but that's where we stayed for most of the night . Tom talking and talking and talking about the wonderful new movie, Elvis. Yes, it's wonderful but tonight was not about sales pitches or the wonderful movie. The candlelight service was created BY FANS FOR FANS...

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 ...
