The
King Is Dead DVD documentary: Discussions are now underway
for Robert Holton's book, The King Is Dead, to be made into
a DVD documentary running for around 48-52 minutes. Katco
Media publisher, Ryan Katzenbach said: "At that length of
time, we could definitely attract the attention of a network
or cable channel and possibly sell the rights. It would be
our interests in telling this story on a much larger scale
than that of just distributing a DVD." Release of the
DVD is likely to be at least a year away. (News,

Children's
letter to President Eisenhower about Elvis on display:
Children have left their mark on American democracy over the
years with pens, pencils and crayons, writing to the White
House with complaints, suggestions, or opinions on such vital
issues as whether Elvis Presley should get a haircut when
he joined the Army. The White House alone receives as many
as 400,000 a month and its archives of letters number in the
millions. A new exhibit has just opened at the US National
Archives showcasing 30 of the letters. Among the letters in
the exhibit: one from three Montana girls to President Dwight
Eisenhower after Presley was drafted in 1958, pleading, ``If
you cut his side burns off we will just die!''. (News,

Actor
Woody Harrelson shows some Elvis action: Oscar nominated
actor Woody Harrelson gave Elvis some nice praise on the
NBC Jay Leno show last night. Harrelson stated that he
had to thank Elvis for his becoming an actor and acknowledged
that he was a big Elvis fan. Sounding very similar to
an Elvis film, Harrelson explained that his break into
acting was when he spontaneously performed Jailhouse Rock
for friends in his school library. He was spotted by the
High School’s drama teacher & never looked back! Harrelson
also showed some great hip-swinging action when he performed
an excellent Jailhouse Rock for Jay Leno’s appreciative

New
book release - Untold Gold: The Stories Behind Elvis's #1
Hits: Chicago Review Press will publish this book (ISBN:
1556525656) by Ace Collins on January 4, 2005. Here is the
information from the publisher on this 272 pages book: "The
stories behind the luck, inspiration, and timing that brought
hits like "Heartbreak Hotel," "Don't Be Cruel," "In the Ghetto,"
and "A Little Less Conversation" to life are told in this
look at some of the world's most popular hits. Fans will be
given the inside story of how these and other of the best
known rock songs were written, why they were recorded, and
how they became hits. Along the way, they will meet and get
to know the men and women who wrote songs for the "King,"
follow the route these songs took to Elvis, and understand
how he reshaped the songs to fit his vision. The author spent
countless hours interviewing songwriters, digging through
dusty charts, and listening to demos in order to uncover the
great stories he tells here. Each song in this book is a commentary
on where the world was and what was making it tick, making
these songs as much a glimpse into the life of America as
into the life of Elvis." (News, Source:

Elvis
can be king!: Elvstroem, affectionately known to punters
as "Elvis", is the forgotten galloper in Tuesday's
$4.6 million Emirates Melbourne Cup. However, the four-year-old
entire has the chance to write his name into the history books
and stake an undeniable claim for Horse of the Year with victory
in this famous race. He has the staying ability, combined
with a weight-for-age sprint, to become the 12th galloper
to win the Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double in the same year.
He is at his peak. He won the weight-for-age Underwood Stakes
and Turnbull Stakes, and then the Caulfield Cup (2400m) with
an all-the-way effort that was a display of raw talent and
courage. Elvstroem was rehandicapped 2.5 kg in the Melbourne
Cup after his Caulfield Cup success -- an indication handicapper
Jim Bowler rates him highly. Although a Melbourne Cup tilt
was an after-thought, Elvstroem has thrived and has plenty
going in his favour. He has the ability to be handy to the
lead and, with his sustained sprint, he should be the one
to run them down in the dying stages. Trainer Tony Vasil has
the handsome entire at a peak for this race and the stable
believes he can stamp himself as a superstar in Australia
before heading abroad. Clearly he is the forgotten, or neglected,
horse in this race. (News, Source: Sunday
