Oh Snap! The Elvises Left the Building, Gather Together

TresSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 07:00:00 PDT

It's been 32 years since The King's demise, but don't tell the Elvis impersonators! To them, he never left that proverbial building. Here they are in St. Austell, UK, taking part in a (sadly failed) Guinness Book of Records attempt to be the largest group of Elvis impersonators singing "Now or Never." They needed more than 147 Elvises, but perhaps due to bad weather, not enough bejeweled, jumpsuited and oily coiffed dudes showed up and alas, the 2007 Aussie Elvises still reign. (It's now or . . .later?)

Très Bizarre! Disgraced Governor Puts on an Elvis Show

TresSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:00:28 PDT

This weekend former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was paid to perform Elvis's "Treat Me Nice" before a group of confused onlookers. Inexplicably, Fabio was also there on stage. While I can't single out the most disturbing thing about Blago's gyrating performance, I do think that the best part comes around the 45-second mark when someone in the audience looks at the camera and mouths: "What the fu*ck?!" Exactly.

Elvis Cutting Board: Love It or Hate It?

YumSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:50:44 PDT

This King of cutting boards ($20) had me cracking up at first sight. I'm not an avid Elvis fan, but the whole concept - his eggplant hair, his bell pepper ear, his carrot-and-corn collar - makes me laugh. I love the vibrant colors, too. Still, I could see how some might find this accessory too garish and gaudy for their kitchen.

Madonna, Mariah Surpass Elvis on Billboard Charts

BuzzSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 10:37:52 PDT

It's a new era of rock, folks. Billboard reports today that singles by Mariah Carey and Madonna have broken chart records previously held by Elvis Presley.

As expected, Mariah Carey moves past Elvis Presley and into sole possession of second place for most No. 1s in the rock era, as "Touch My Body" soars 15-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become her 18th chart-topper.

Presley will also be nudged from his standing as the artist with the most top 10s in the rock era, as Madonna surpasses him with her 37th top 10, "4 Minutes."

Billboard also points out that digital downloads are helping the singing divas: "'Body's' blast to No. 1 is fueled by a record-setting debut week digital tally of 286,000 downloads," and "Madonna's Hot 100 jump is spurred by stupendous download sales."

What do you think about these singles? You can listen to "4 Minutes" here and "Touch My Body" here (where you can also watch the funny video). Are they worth all the appreciation?
