39 years ago today, Elvis Presley died, but what if he didn’t? That is what the AXS TV telemovie Elvis Lives is going to look at tonight at 9p.
On August 16, 1977, the world was shocked when Elvis Presley suddenly died. Because it was so sudden and he was very loved, people claimed to have seen him alive for many many years afterwards. Did he really die in that Graceland bathroom?
In this movie, a few weeks before Elvis (Jonathan Nation) “died”, his life was in a downward spiral. He just wanted to be back with Priscilla, his daughter Lisa and live a normal life. That was something he couldn’t do because he was the most famous person in the world. There was a way he could live on in secret and this is the theory on he did it.
That theory, is something you will learn when you watch this intriguing movie about Elvis’ final days as The King and his first few days as his new self.
John Stamos Tweeted the above picture of him with Tom Jones and Priscilla Presley; and it looks a lot like a picture that was taken of the late great Elvis Presley in 1968 with the same people to Stamos’ right! How does Uncle Jesse feel about it, “this pic was a total coincidence- would never try to stand in the kings shoes- (or touch his girl)” Yes it was a cool accident, but you know what in ways he reminds of the King of Rock’n’Roll! Either that or I am just having flashbacks to several scenes from Full House. Well that and he really is as much as of ladies’ man as Elvis was!
BTW how great do Jones and Presley look 43 years after that first picture?
Tony Bennett is 85 years young and he told AARP magazine that he has no plans to retire. But there is one thing he should retire, when asked about Lady Gaga he said something that I disagree with. He said, “I think if she keeps going the way she’s going now, that she will become bigger than Elvis Presley. She will become the main rage of the entertainment world. I’ve never met anybody, I don’t care what age, who is more intelligent about what to do as a performer than Lady Gaga.†He then added, “She did ‘The Lady Is a Tramp’ with me. It was so fantastic. She showed up in the most gorgeous dress I’ve ever seen. On Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe — the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen on a human being! And she had a wild green wig on. But when she went into it, ‘Bam!’ The song just took off. So she’s absolutely brilliant with what she does. She’s a very, very magnificent performer and she does know how to sing, and she does know how to play the piano. I see great things for her. She has no boundaries and she knows what she’s doing. You know, I’ve performed with everybody, being 85 years old. I’ve seen it all. And I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen anybody that intelligent when it comes to knowing how to perform properly.â€
I like Lady Gaga and I think she is a visionary, but she is no Elvis. Elvis was Elvis because at the time people weren’t as fickle as they are now. They stayed with you during your career, after you died and never wavered. In 5 years we will be like remember when Lady Caca was on her Edge of Glory. She is like the next Madonna, where she will do some good stuff for while, push the envelope and then get so wrapped up in her ego she will self destruct her career.
So Tony, there will never be another Elvis and there will never be another you and that is OK.

Yesterday the Billboard Awards were held in Las Vegas and Eric Stonestreet dressed as one of their hugest icons. The Modern Family star dressed as the legendary Elvis Presley in his later years, that were also known as his fat ones. The skin tight black body suit is not a good look for the Emmy winner
