Back in the ’60s, The Beatles and Elvis Presley were the most famous people in the World. So what happened when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison met The King?
We don’t really know, but Lennon hated the experience so much that he told Mick Jagger never to meet him.
And the Rolling Stones singer told Conan O’Brien on his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend that he never did because of how Lennon described that moment. Therefore, Jagger can only imagine what it would have been like had he met his idol. Maybe he would have had a different experience full of satisfaction. Granted, it seems like he can’t get no satisfaction.
Vicki Lawrence and Priscilla Presley spent the weekend signing autographs at SC Comic Con in Greenville, South Carolina. I can’t believe that both ladies are in their late 70s because they both look absolutely fabulous.
Lawrence, at 76, still looks decades younger than her most famous character, Mama Harper from Mama’s Family. It’s as if she stopped aging when The Carol Burnett Show went off the air.
Now, let’s talk about Presley. I have not seen the Naked Gun star in a while, and she looks better than ever! So much so that I cannot believe that she is 79.
If that is what we can expect when we are their age, I am not afraid of getting older.
Baz Luhrmann spent several years working on an Elvis Presley biopic. That was turned into an Oscar-nominated movie in which Austin Butler played the legendary musician.
The director revealed yesterday that he had unearthed lost videos of the late singer, and he will be turning them into a behind-the-scenes feature of The King from the early ’70s concert events.
“There has always been talk amongst Elvis’ fans, both longtime fans and newer fans brought in by our film Elvis, of missing reels and never-before-seen concert footage,” Luhrmann told Deadline. “During the making of Elvis, from very early on in my process I had the privilege to access the studio’s vaults deep in the salt mines of Kansas, where troves of old film negatives are stored. We were astonished by the sheer volume of unused footage from Elvis: That’s the Way It Is, the film of Elvis’ legendary 1970 Summer Festival in Las Vegas – all shot on anamorphic 35mm – and also from Elvis’s road concert film from two years later, Elvis on Tour.”
Luhrmann is currently taking care of business to make this happen, so, as of now, there is no release date. However, he did cut a teaser. If you want to see it, then click here!
Darlene Love was on Sherri Shepherd’s show today, and the singer told some stories about her life.
Did you know that between her time with the Crystals and singing Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), she cleaned houses to pay the bills? However, she only did that for a few months because her Christmas single changed her life forever.
Then, she had several hits on her own and with The Blossoms. So much so that she starred in the movie Change of Habit with Elvis Presley after they shot his ’68 Comeback Special.
Love says that he was enamored with her; he wanted her to be the first African-American woman he slept with. But she decided not to have a hunka hunka burnin’ love with him.
Depending on who you ask, she made the right choice…
Taylor Swift is popular and people love to own her music. How popular is she? She is more popular than Elvis Presley, but not as popular as The Beatles. At least when it comes to the Billboard 200 chart.
The singer has surpassed Elvis with the most weeks at No. 1 by a solo artist. She has held that spot for 68 weeks in the last 15 years—one more than the King.
However, she has a long way to go until she catches up with The Beatles. The band was on top of the charts with their album sales for 132 weeks.
