Paul McCartney got an honorary Doctorate of Music from Yale University on Monday afternoon. Yale has given the same honor to some of the greatest music legends, including Elvis, Sinatra, Prince, Smokey Robinson and the other three Beatles. What?! I can’t believe Sir Paul was the last to be honored. Actually, none of the above mentioned ever went to Yale. But Ezra Sims, a composer and an expert in microtonal music, is an alumnus. Now you know why none of the music legends ever came from Yale. I doubt that they would be music legends if they did study there.

Elvis Presley’s only daughter, Lisa Marie

Elvis Presley’s only daughter, Lisa Marie, just turned 40 years old – and she’s about to have another child. New reports are surfacing that the rock and roll royalty is pregnant with her third child. This will be the first child with her fourth husband, musician Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie already has two teenage kids with her first husband Danny Keough – model Riley Keough and lesser known Benjamin Keough. It’s a good thing that she never had kids with her third husband Nicholas Cage, or even worse, her second husband Michael Jackson. I just realized that there’s a lot of numbers right there.

The Presley-Munster Family

I present to you, the new Munster family! I think they just exhausted the supply of black eyeliner in London.

Scientologists Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, her daughter Riley Keough and her boyfriend Ryan Cabrera (yes, he’s the same Ryan Cabrera who once dated Ashlee Simpson) who’s dressed in some wannabe Johnny Depp drag, hit up the Led Zeppelin concert in London on Monday.

It takes a lot of Elvis’ money to look like this. And sadly, it all went to the black eyeliner and no budget was left for a stylist to actually dress them like they’re rock stars so instead, they look like the new Munsters.

Garth Brooks, who edged out Elvis Presley in 1999 for the title of best-selling solo artist of all time, only to lose it five years later, reclaimed the crown from the King Monday The announcement was made on the eve of the release of Brooks’ latest collection, The Ultimate Hits, due out Tuesday. Ok Garth is not a bad country singer. In fact I like him… But the man could never hold a candle to Elvis. Mass production, distribution, and all might have helped him sell more records but there is no comparison between Elvis and Brooks. They don’t even sing the same kind of music. Someone has way too much time on their hands. Elvis will always be king!!! He might have the numbers and he might have made an ever lasting impact too which is evident from his awards and records but truly we should lay to rest this question, no matter what happened for the next fifty years there never going to be someone better and greater than Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley

Rock legend Elvis Presley has overtaken Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain as the biggest earning dead celebrity. The Jailhouse Rock hit maker topped the Forbes magazine poll with earnings of $58 million during 2007. Cobain, who pushed Presley off the top spot last year after Widow Courtney Love sold a portion of his recording catalogue, does not feature in the 2007 list. Elvis is the undisputed king of all music and I’d rate him 1 on popularity ahead of another music legend Ray Charles too. Means the kind of attention Elvis draws is something that cannot be even imagined. Even the popularity of the Beatles is awesome but Elvis as a single performer leaves you awestruck. I’m not fond of rating dead celebrities on any matter but I think it is important to note that the two dead Beatles on the list, who made up half the group, out earned Elvis by far. I wonder how much The Beatles as a group earned.

Malibu Castle Kashan burned
The wild brush fire in Malibu continues to burn taking down lots of property with it. Malibu Castle Kashan burned to the ground due to the fire which saw Princess Lilly Lawrence lose her home, family heirlooms, jewelry and presidential memorabilia. She did manage to save a few things though. One of which being the King’s pants.

We have learned that one of the things that the Princess was able to save from the castle was a pair of Elvis Presley’s Army fatigues. However, she lost all her other Elvis memorabilia which includes 32 original Elvis Presley movie scripts with his handwritten notes in the margins.
