Vote for Elvis in NME Poll of Greatest Singers of All Time

There are so many singers in the music world that bring so much life to the words. Imagine if you had a dream and could make a list of your favorite voices in music. You can now make that dream a reality. Each and every one of these stars brings something unique to the table.


There was never anybody that had the "Midas Touch" with cover songs like the legendary Elvis Presley. The range of his voice was truly unbelievable. Sometimes people forget how great his voice was because of how he shook his hips. He sang with such ease whether it was gospel, rock, pop, bebop or country. That's why all Elvis fans, should show their support to the King by voting on a new poll featured in NME magazine's top twenty singers of all time. Vote now or forever hold your peace!


Oh, and a comment on my blog wouldn't hurt either.

Watch Viva ELVIS Performers on The Price Is Right

I just found another reason to love that game show Price Is Right. You might say that it isn't the same without Bob Barker as the host. Personally, I can't complain with what Bob Barker brought to the show. That being said, I think Drew Carey definitely brings something to the table with his comedy background. The Drew Carey show was memorable not just for the jokes but also the theme song. I kind of lost count how many times you hear them sing Cleveland Rocks...Cleveland Rocks. Cleveland is after all the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Just imagine Drew with his love for rock music, being able to introduce a showcase most people would die for. There are a few names synonymous with Rock and Roll. It's not Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly or Ritchie Valens. Then it has to be...yeah you guessed it. Tupelo's own, Elvis Presley.

Now take a look at the video here...

Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham to tape special at Landmark

Laughter is the best medicine. That and the fact that it's not too bad in large doses unlike what you find at any pharmacy. If you're a fan of shows on Comedy Central then you should be very familiar with the name Jeff Dunham. Hopefully by this time, you have your tickets for Jeff Dunham's fourth Comedy Central special Friday and Saturday at Richmond's Landmark Theater.

Both shows are sold out with Dunham showcasing his talents with characters like Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J the Redneck and Peanut as part of the 100-city "Identity Crisis" tour.

Dunham doesn't have a bad resume either considering the New York Times Magazine has called him "the most successful comedian working in America." Not impressed? The last two years he's been named in Forbes magazine's 100 Celebrity roster of the most powerful entertainer. Oh, and he has over 5 million fans on Facebook.

Immaturity could hold Bryce Harper back

It's amazing what can happen in the span of a year. Your first job followed by your first paycheck. You would like to think you're more mature now than you were a year ago. Unfortunately, that may say that some of us don't exactly set the bar very high.

It was only a year ago Monday that Bryce Harper was drafted first overall in the draft by the Washington Nationals. On the diamond he has been knocking the cover off the ball with 14 long balls and 42 runs batted in for Class A Hagerstown. Harper looked like he was about to be promoted to play at the Double A level. All that was put on hold when Harper broke one of the biggest cardinal sins in baseball. What would that be?

It's National Donut Day!

Hey it's Friday. Not just the end of the week or time to cash your checks. I can come up with about dozen reasons today is so cool aside from the cash and the end of the week. Here's another reason why today is so cool. It's Donut Day too! So what's the big deal right? Just think of those mouth-watering Krispy Kreme donuts right in your face just waiting to be polished off.


Today is the first Friday in June and Krispy Kreme as part of National Donut Day is giving one free donut of your choice per customer. Are you still there? Get that donut...while there still there!

Farewell, food pyramid — USDA is now serving up nutritional advice on My Plate

Say goodbye food pyramid and hello to my plate. In case you thought the food pyramid was too confusing the federal government scrapped that whole plan. Now it's going to be the plate divided into four sections with fruits and veggies on one side and proteins and grains on the other. To the right of the plate will be for dairy, i.e. milk or yogurt.

Every time I see something like this I can't help but laugh. For one, the food pyramid isn't confusing for me. It's pretty clear about what foods to eat and how much before you run into any problems. There's a good chance that "Big Brother" wants faster results from the food pyramid and figure with the new my plate that it will come to pass. Will it make us eat our broccoli even it's not our order at some Chinese take-out? There's nothing wrong with a bowl of ice cream now and then. Hey, it is a dairy product...right? Is there a way to keep the food pyramid and add the my plate. We all different body types and diets without even bringing your metabolism into the mix. Exercise has to be put into the equation too. Oh well, I guess the jury is still out on my plate. I hope it works.

Are Hayden Panettiere & Jets QB Mark Sanchez Dating?

I'm sure Hayden Panattiere has heard of the saying about art imitating life. It seems she took that whole playing a cheerleader thing in Heroes a bit too seriously. There's a rumor about her dating New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

It's been just three weeks since Hayden and boxer Wladimir Klitschko broke up. It's not like she would be sitting by the phone...right?

Sanchez and Panattiere were seen at an In-N-Out in Malibu, California. One person close to them said that the two are friends.
