Tennis champ Maria Sharapova, 33, got engaged this week to British businessman Alexander Gilkes, who has ties to the royal family. But the real news here is the fact that she posed for photos with OUR Bedlington Terrier Elvis! Maria loves the business world herself and she was promoting her wearable designer weights (on her wrists) and candy line Sugarpova, with photos taken at our house. She is 6’2” and quite beautiful – Elvis was enchanted…

Ray Liotta looks pretty hot walking down the street in New York with his silver hair. He’s promoting his new movie with Ashley Judd (we love her) called “The Identical.” It’s kind of an Elvis take-off movie but producers deny that. It’s the story of twin brothers born poor in the south who are separated at birth. (Ray and Ashley adopt one twin.) One twin grows up to be a huge pop star and the other becomes an impersonator of the pop star! A guy who imitated Elvis at state fairs and casinos named Ryan Pelton, plays the twins.

Does this face look familiar? It’s Elvis “tribute” performer Cody Slaughter, 21, and there IS a resemblance. He’s pictured here arriving at the David Letterman Show – Dave is having a different Elvis impersonator on each night this week. We prefer the young Elvis from the 50’s – not the white jumpsuit version, so Cody is right up our alley. Take a look at his video – and never underestimate the power of an echo chamber…

Dolores Hart shocked Hollywood when she abruptly walked away from her acting career in 1963 and became a nun! She’s probably most famous for her movies with Elvis Presley and our favorite “Where the Boys Are.” All these years she’s been cloistered in a convent in Bethlehem, Conn, but the 40 nuns living quarters are desperately in need of refurbishing so she is trying to help them raise money. (Surprisingly, she is still a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and she receives copies of all nominated movies to watch in her cell, and she votes for winners.) Since the abbey needs 4 million dollars for renovation Mother Dolores, 73, has even appeared at an autograph convention where she sold autographs and photos to raise money. She is the order’s main hope for fundraising, so we may be seeing more of her.
We never realized that the late Muammar Gaddafi was considered something of a fashion icon in the Middle East. The dictator was a closet dandy! When his body was brought to the hospital they took a sample of his hair to confirm his identity and it turned out he was wearing a toupee! He had also turned to plastic surgery to keep himself looking youthful, and had his shoe heels built up to make himself taller. But his fashions trough the years are quite entertaining. Above, he must have been going through an “Elvis” phase.

Hawaiian born Bruno Mars is a knockout in this layout from L’Uomo Vogue. Those Italians know how to photograph men. Songwriter/singer Mars, 25, says he was inspired by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and The Temptations. In fact, he did such a good impersonation of Elvis when he was a kid that he appeared in the movie Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992 with Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker. He’s still got some Elvis hair.
How we managed to overlook the death of Ferlin Husky on March 17, we’ll never know. But we have no intention of letting this pass without comment. Ferlin was one of those sexy rockabilly guys from the fifties who actually toured with Elvis as his opening act. He’s best known for “Wings of a Dove” but our favorite song of his was the melodramatic “Gone.” What a voice. The ultimate jukebox song for slow dancing. (Above, that’s Ferlin to the left of Elvis)
Christmas Greetings to all!
Riley Keough, best known as Elvis’s granddaughter, is making a name for herself in Hollywood. She started modeling at 14 and landed her first role in “The Runaways” just last year. Since then she’s done two more movies- “The Good Doctor” with Orlando Bloom, and “Jack and Diane” with Kylie Minogue. Now she’s negotiating to appear in the next post-apocalyptic Mad Max movie with Tom Hardy called “Fury Road.” She’ll play a woman he’s protecting from bad guys. She’s got the look.
