I'm sure that the first question will be about the Elvis photo, so I will get that out of the way. I have a bit of an obsession with Elvis Presley...no, I don't believe that he's still alive but he has been spotted a lot in Foley :) My obsession began when I was two yrs. old. I was flipping through a magazine with my dad and came across an Elvis photo and I fell in love.
Here's your E News Update for Monday June 9, 2008:
Ed McMahon's manager says the former Tonight Show sidekick can blame his financial troubles on a long-time drinking problem. McMahon is in danger of losing his $6-million mansion, because he's behind $600,000 on his payments. He hasn't been able to work for 18 months after he broke his neck in a fall. Now, his manager says McMahon, who quit drinking ten years ago, probably neglected his finances all those years he was boozing it up. "You drink and you don't pay attention to your business affairs. He wasn't paying attention and probably got some bad advice," adding, "I'm hoping America will rally around him and somebody will have a great idea to make him a spokesman."
Bachelorette star Trista says she and her hubby Ryan are definitely staying married. "There is no validity to the rumors on the Internet insinuating that Ryan and I are divorcing...We are perfectly, 100% happy, and divorce has never been a topic of conversation and never will be," Trista tells the website MomLogic.com. It's a good thing, because the couple is in talks with Martha Stewart to get their own TV show. "The details are still being hashed out, but it has to do with fixing up houses," according to Life and Style magazine.
