Celebrities are always in the public eye. That’s just the price of fame. They can’t so much as take a shit without a camera crew trying to record it. That’s why it’s so surprising that so many celebrities think nothing of taking nude pics of themselves. It’s pretty much a given that it will all make its way to their adoring fans. Sometimes the pics are innocent, but sometimes they’re so much more. It all just goes to show you that the stars are just like us. They love to fuck. Here are the top 20 leaked celebrity pics.
#20 Jennifer Lawrence
You may know her as J-Law. You may also know her as one of the most annoying celebrities on the planet. She comes off as a pseudo intellectual who has nothing of value to say. She’s also gotten into some trouble after mocking the handicapped. Either way, she has a nice set of tits. You can see them for yourself in a video that she shot with her boyfriend. They’re spectacular. And, she knows it. Make a search for “Jennifer Lawrence tits” and ScandalPlanet.com has some great pics and there’s a couple of videos on Xhamster.com worth a look see.
#19 Kate Upton
Kate Upton has been around for years and it’s no surprise why. She’s a hot blonde with a tight body. Her boyfriend really likes it, too. That’s why he took some naked pics with her a while ago. Needless to say, they made their way onto the internet. Now there’s barely a soul alive that hasn’t gotten an eyeful of her titties. Again, just a simple search for “Kate Upton Nudes” will bring up plenty of more pics of her. You will get to see Kate Upton’s pussy from the front and behind as well as some full on sex pics.
#18 Alison Pill
Alison was in Scott Pilgrim and is a nerd’s wet dream. Luckily, you don’t have to be sleeping to see her naked. She took plenty of naked selfies in 2012 and they’re all over the internet for you to enjoy but they’re a little tricky to find you have to know what to search and the best sites to find her naked selfies on. Just make sure that you take the time to thank whoever it was that she took them for in the first place. Punching in the term “Alison Pill nude selfies” will bring up some results, check out ScandalPlanet.com for best results.
#17 Scarlett Johansson
She plays the Black Widow and she’s super-hot. There’s a reason that Scarlett Johansson was chosen to wear a tight leather outfit for almost a decade. It doesn’t need to be said that she looks even hotter without any clothes at all. She took a few for some guy and he just had to share them. She’s now responsible for the majority of the world’s spilled loads. The pic above was taken before she got famous and there’s a lot more explicit photos of her during that time.
#16 Ashley Greene
You know Ashley Greene from Twilight. She was the wooden teen girl that the sparkly vampire had a hard on for. She also cheated on him in real life. She’s one of the most irritating people on the planet. She got up on stage and told the president that she was gay, then went ahead and started dating a guy. Way to stick up for the disenfranchised. Anyway, she has nice tits and she took pictures of them for one of the many guys who got to fuck her.
#15 Kat Dennings
Kat Dennings was on that show that your mother used to watch. You probably caught her giant tits entering the fake restaurant a good twenty minutes before the rest of her got there. 90% of the show’s humor revolved around her vagina and how much she liked to touch it. It was edgy humor for the soon to be retired. Her ex apparently leaked some of the nudes and the world is a much better, if not at all funnier, place for it.
14 Christina Hendrix
Sure, Christina Hendrix was on Mad Men. That wasn’t what put her on your radar, though. That was her appearing in Firefly as the conniving wife of Malcom Reynolds. She has a giant set of tits and a head full of red hair. She’s the perfect woman and you can see her naked online. Please send cash along with your Thank You notes.
13 Olivia Munn
Olivia Munn is a dirty, dirty girl. She’s just not overly smart. She tried working on The Daily Show and just couldn’t hack it. That’s why she ended up in those godforsaken X-Men movies. She also dated another star and apparently couldn’t get enough of his famous cock up her ass. She wrote as much on the nude pics that she sent him. When you have someone as hot as her sending you nudes where she tells you how much she loves getting ass fucked by you, then you’ve won at everything on the planet.
12 Blake Lively
You know who Blake Lively is. There’s no point in pretending that you don’t. What you might not know is that she likes to take pics of her naked tits and send them to people. You can see them for yourself after you admit that you’re a big fan.
11 Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato just loves to have fun with her friends. That’s probably why she took so many pics of herself being slutty with them. She’s practically making out with the girls and having a great time while she does it. Unfortunately for her, the pics were leaked and now everyone can see them. Sometimes things just work out for the best.
10 Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba has been around for long enough to give some of you your first boners. She’s one of those actresses who said she’d never do a nude scene. That didn’t stop her from taking naked pics for a boyfriend. She’s got her perfect tits on display with a big, old smile on her pretty face. She may not get naked for a movie, but she made sure to get naked for your next stroke session.
9 Miley Cyrus
Sorry to ruin your image of her from Hannah Montana, but Miley Cyrus is a slut. It turns out that Billy Ray never taught his daughter to keep her nude pics to herself. You can see her naked pretty much anywhere. Hell, you can even see her pissing in multiple locations. She clearly doesn’t care about keeping herself decent, so you shouldn’t care about looking at her naked tits.
Rihanna may think of herself as a queen, but she’s really just a cock slut. She’s been sharing naked pics of herself since forever and they keep up online. All you really need is Google to see her naked. That’s impressive for anyone who works on this side of the porn industry.
7 Hayley Williams
Hayley Williams is a cute redhead with a petite body. Lots of people want to see her naked. Luckily for them, she likes to keep her nude pics right on her Twitter for some reason. A hacker was able to get into her account and share a pic that was only meant to give one person a boner. Now it’s getting the whole world hard.
6 Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton wants you to think that she’s a dumb blonde. Every single thing she does is calculated, though. She’s created a brand that nets her millions. That’s why her sex tape was leaked all over the world. She did that intentionally, but she didn’t mean for her later nude pics to get leaked afterward. Those were meant for one person, but now they fuel an empire’s worth of jerking.
5 Christina Aquilera
Christina Aguliera has the most innocent reasoning behind her leaked pics. She just wanted to send them to her stylist to figure out her wardrobe. What happened was so much better, though. They got shared with the internet and now everyone knows what her naked tits look like.
4 Vanessa Hudgens
It’s difficult for someone to be seen naked as much as Miley Cyrus. Vanessa Hudgens gives her a run for her money, though. This young, hot thing loves to show herself off to anyone who wants to see her. The pics are always getting leaked and you can know her body better than you even know your own.
3 Heather Morris
You know Heather Morris from Glee. That was the show about singing high schoolers that everyone watched. The people on it were far from their teens, though. She took a bunch of pics of herself getting naked and bending over to show off how tight her little asshole happens to be. She can’t even say it wasn’t her because you can clearly see her face after you’re done examining her pussy.
2 Taylor Swift
This one is a cause of a lot of contention. Taylor Swift claims that the nudes of her are total fakes. In fact, she’s threatened to sue over them. There’s a problem, though. If they were really fake, why would she threaten? Why wouldn’t she just sue? That would be the most logical course of action. Just complaining makes it seem like they’re real and they’re still up if you want to check them out.
1 Kate Middleton
Finally, we come to #1. This tops the list because of the reason for her fame. Kate Middleton is a Royal and nothing more. She married into the royal family and got famous for it. It’s too bad for them that she didn’t leave her love of topless sunbathing back in the realm of the normal. She was caught topless in France and the commoners have been rejoicing ever since.
There are 20 best celebrity leaked nudes that you can find on the internet. It doesn’t take a whole lot to track them down. The only things you have to look out for are fakes. These are, at least mostly, legit. You can check them out whenever you want, just make sure you save them to your hard drive. There may come a day in the future when these nudes disappear. You’ll be the hero that we call on to once again let their naked light shine upon us.


Liam Gallagher, lead vocalist of Oasis, who disbanded in 2009 has been causing havoc on Twitter by posting cryptic tweets hinting of the bands reunion.
The star sent out six tweets yesterday morning an hour apart spelling out the bands name and finishing with “OASIS LG”.
The rocker is known for his controversial and disorderly behaviour in the tabloids and even filed a lawsuit against his brother and band member Noel Gallagher for libel, after Noel accused Liam of pulling out of their headlining set at V Festival in 2009 due to a hangover.
Yet earlier this year it was reported that they’d ended their feud after both attending a family wedding and were in fact planning on opening a bar together with their mother!
After the news that the 5-year cold relationship had ended, the bands original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs revealed he could see the band getting back together in January’s NME Magazine:
“If someone said, ‘Here’s a field, here’s a stage and here’s 200,000 people,’ I’m sure Liam would jump up and do it, and I don’t think it would even take anyone offering him a massive bankroll of money. He’d do it because that’s what he loves, that’s his passion.”
Now the public ask whether the rumours of Oasis reuniting could actually become a reality and not just a pipe dream. Liam even stirred bookmakers after his Twitter disturbance, with Paddy Power tweeting: “Betting now suspended on #Oasis to play Glastonbury” – with many people hoping that they will fill an open headlining act at this years Glastonbury festival. A perfect marketing tactic for Glastonbury who’s ticket re-sell opens just days after Liam’s tweets on Sunday the 27th April.
Liam now has over 835 thousand followers yet only actually follows five Twitter accounts himself including two Oasis based news accounts.
Fans all over the world are hoping Oasis may follow in the footsteps of the band’s good friends The Stone Roses, who performed a reunion tour back in 2012. After yesterdays Twitter madness I’m sure if they do, and when they do, the world will know about it even before Noel does.

This prestigious recognition is a testament to her exceptional contributions to the world of music and her unwavering commitment to showcasing the beauty of Zambian culture on the global stage. Sampa The Great, born Sampa Tembo, is a name that resonates with music enthusiasts across the globe. Hailing from Zambia, she embarked on a remarkable musical journey that has seen her ascend to the highest echelons of the international music scene.

This was Pooja Dhingra's story then, when I met her in Paris one year ago. Time is a good friend. Yes.
Pooja Dhingra is funny. That is what her classmates at Le Cordon Bleu think. Yet, she seems completely oblivious to the fact that she is charming, and to the fact that people are instinctively drawn to her. Her English accent is that of a Bollywood actress. And her beauty is blossoming. Dhingra is like an extract from the Britney Spears song, “Not A Girl, Not Yet a woman”. Her character is like a composite of three other personalities active in the profession of her intensions. She is as assertive as Gordon Ramsey, of “Hell’s Kitchen” without swearing. She has the archetype; “the boy next door, that sadly doesn't live next door to me,” of Jamie Oliver - “The Naked Chef”. And she is sassy, exotic and curvaceous like the British TV cook, Nigella Lawson. Though she is only half Lawson’s age, she is equally ambitious. And she has epic plans for herself. She is also well aware of the obstacles she will face in her pursuit of them.
Dhingra, is finishing up her “Diploma in French Pastry” at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. She plans to return home to India, to set up her own chain of pastry shops in Bombay. She is conscious that it is going to be difficult for her as a young woman, to enter the male-dominated business environment in India; “People don’t take you seriously,” she said in a soft spoken voice, yet firm in her speech. And on many occasions when she has had to contact people in relation to her business venture, they would literally hang up on her; “My father would have to call” she said.
Dhingra, who comes from a family where both parents are in the food and catering Industry, did not always know that she wanted to become a chef. After high school, she started studying law in India. But, after a month of studies, she realized that her choice of career had not been the right one. So she dropped out of her law program and moved to Switzerland to study at Cézar Ritz Colleges. In 2007, she graduated with a Bachelor of International Business in Hotel and Tourism Management. And in 2008, she moved to France, to master the art of pastry making. Dhingra, does not feel that the time she spent studying undergraduate law in India was wasted. “By trial, that’s how you learn,” she said.
Dhingra, plans to have a centralized kitchen in Bombay where the pastry will be made, before being transported to the other bakeries. She has already conceived a concept for her pastry shops, “French technique, Indian flavour” she said and continues, “the key will be to find a common ground, you have to tweak the recipes to suit the ingredients available in India, and the temperature.” The menu will also include chocolate pralines, as Dhingra did an internship with chocolatier Jean Charles Rochoux during her one year stay in Paris. Her business establishment is going to be called “Le15” after the arrondissement in Paris, where she lived and spent most of her time.
Catherine Baschet, development manager at Le Cordon Bleu is very enthusiastic over Dhingra’s entrepreneurial spirit given her young age. “She is very focused, and determined at the age of 23,” she said. Baschet, has already collaborated with Dhingra on a workshop project for Le Cordon Bleu, held in India last year, and she is planning for more to come.
Dhingra, belongs to the generation of highly educated young women who are slowly changing the business environment in India. Yet, she is modest in reference to her undertakings, “I don't think I am an inspiration yet. But, hopefully one day I could be!” she said.


|About the Book|
Today, most of his fans recognize him as Joe Dominguez, Don Johnsons long-time friend and cop partner from Nash Bridges. And if you are old enough, you might remember back more than twenty years when he was one-half of the comedy team Cheech and Chong. But, not everyone knows that Cheech (Richard Antonio) Marin has released three educational music CDs for children, has three different hot sauces named for him, and owns one of the largest collections of Chicano art. After a very long, productive career in Hollywood, Cheech Marin proclaims that in all the roles hes taken, he has always proudly played a Latino.


On the night of January 21 … Ryin Jackson signed on from a new room. The red drapes and famous Ikea Numbers Poster were gone … replaced by shutters and a wall sconce light.
As more people entered the room … questions about where he was … at that moment … kept popping up. Ryin seemed irritated with the questions … and said he had moved to L.A. He said his Phoenix house was now empty and ready to be sold.
But wait … last Friday night (Saturday morning) Ryin Jackson signed on for over four hours beginning at 1:30am Phoenix time … from his familiar red-draped bedroom. He said he wouldn’t be online over the weekend because he had a snowboarding trip up north with family … which he had also mentioned several nights before. Suddenly … at Midnight on Tuesday … he was supposedly living in L.A. … having left Phoenix behind for good.
Needless to say … it was startling and confusing news. A move two years in the waiting (with no sense of urgency whatsoever) … had suddenly and unexpectedly taken place in the dark of the night … while snowboarding over MLK weekend … and best of all … the cable people at the new place had already arrived and installed Ryin’s Internet service … because there he was … broadcasting from L.A. right before our eyes. Most people have trouble getting their cable to come out at all … in the best of times … but somehow Ryin Jackson got them to come out over Martin Luther King weekend. It was amazing!
And so you can understand why people continued to question him about the move. Only his most diehard fans let it slide and tried to cut short the questions. It was, after all, annoying Ryin to no end. He not only didn’t want to answer the inevitable questions … he didn’t even want to be asked them. Within in a very short time … Ryin Jackson was ready to hightail it out of there.
And with that … Ryin Jackson was gone. Los Angeles seems to be agreeing with him. With that friendly, upbeat mood … he’ll no doubt be auditioning for acting roles and doing open mic nights in no time at all.
Yes … Ryin Jackson has finally made his dream to move to Hollywood a reality (perhaps) … and he couldn’t be …uh… happier.
Miss Murmurs has no idea if Ryin was really in Los Angeles that night… or just down the hall from his old room in Phoenix. lf he was in L.A. … congratulations and best wishes. lf he was not … something tells Miss M he is never going to be.
The one thing Miss M does know for sure … if she should ever have cable trouble … she wants those L.A. guys that Ryin uses.

This drama is based on webcomic “이미테이션 / Imitation” by Park Kyung Ran (박경란) which was published from 2014-Sep-30 to 2020-April-15 via “page.kakao.com“.
Lee Ma Ha (Jung Ji So)is a member of the K-pop girl group Tea Party. Despite the group’s lackof popularity, Ma Ha has received some media attention due to her physical resemblance to the popular solo singer, La Ri Ma (Park Ji Yeon). During a reality TV program where idols participate in sporting events, Ma Ha accidentally injures Hyuk (Choi Jong Ho), a member of the famous boy group Shax. Another member of Shax, Kwon Ryuk (Lee Joon Young),develops a dislike of Ma Ha as a result of both the incident and her attempts to gain popularity by imitating Ri Ma. However, the two are forced to cross paths on television programs and when they are cast in adrama together. Meanwhile, Ma Ha’s childhood friend and fellow idol, Lee Yoo Jin (Jung Yoon Ho),from the group Sparkling, has feelings for Ma Ha and tries to shield her from what he believes are Ryok’s negative intentions towards her.


One of the bonuses of living in Ottawa is that Montreal is just down the road, about 1.5 hours away. Case in point, guess who Alistair and I will see tomorrow in Montreal? Yes, that is right, one of the Beatles!
Paul McCartney is, in my mind, the leading figure in music today. Sure he is getting on in years, and sure he hasn’t had a “hit” in the last 25 years or more, but who cares?
I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to finally see him play live. I have been a rather large Beatles fan ever since I started listening to music as a wee lad, I never actually thought I would ever see one of them live, especially given McCartney is now almost 70 (and still going remarkably strong mind you).
Some might say Bob Dylan could give McCartney a run for his money as being the greatest living musical legend; however, although I respect Dylan and enjoy much of his music, (he is obviously a brilliant lyricist and a great songwriter himself), he simply could not, however, craft melodies like McCartney, and I don’t think Dylan was nearly as creative (or prolific) as McCartney was in his heyday.
Of course McCartney is the other half of the greatest songwriting partnership that will ever be. When you look at the songs that he has written over his career, I think it is pretty safe to say that nobody measures up.
At any rate, regardless of his place in musical history, is an honour to be able to see him tomorrow, and I am very glad that it will be Alistair’s first concert – I’m sure it will be a memorable one. (I remember my first one – it was 1984 and I saw April Wine and, ahem.. Corey Heart. Even though April Wine is great and all, Alistair has done one better, to be sure!)
Here are a few clips, some old and some new, including a clip of PM playing recently on Saturday Night Live, can you tell I am excited?
**** For those real Beatles fans, you just have to see Paul sing (and play his beautiful bass guitar on A Day in the Life on Saturday Night Live last Christmas here:
Finally, before Elanore Rigby, for a little humour, see the wonderful Chris Farley and Paul McCartney below:


In 2010, Joel Gilbert set out to prove that Paul McCartney is dead. Now, with Elvis Found Alive, he sets out to prove that the King of Rock and Roll isn’t.
Actually, proving that seems to have been the easy part. In the film’s first few minutes, with nothing more than a box of heavily but insufficiently redacted Freedom of Information documents, Gilbert and his film crew trace Elvis Presley to a modest, suburban home in which he has apparently been living for quite some time under his longtime alias “Jon Burrows.”
What was probably hard was verifying the details that the interview subsequently granted by the outed Presley. Speaking in shadowed profile (the better to protect the anonymity he has been enjoying as a member of the federal Witness Protection Program), Presley supplies a two-hour narrative rife with so many cultural and political footnotes that only an intrepid and indefatigable researcher could have fact-checked them all.
About half of Presley’s tale, the part covering his official lifespan, will be familiar to most rock-and-roll fans. The latter half, however, not only connects many well-known Presley dots (his incessant performing and Col. Parker’s gambling debts, his Memphis Mafia and the actual Mafia, his identification with Captain Marvel, Jr., and his choice of stage apparel) but also supplies many new and even more explosive ones, including but not limited to Presley’s role in Bob Dylan’s conversion to Christianity, his role in stopping the Weather Underground, his failure to stop the ascension of either its leader Bill Ayers or Ayer’s close friend, Barack Obama (or, as Presley prefers to call him, “Barry Soetoro”), and the conditions under which he’ll make yet another comeback.
But for all of the answers that the film supplies, it raises at least one troubling question. Present among Gilbert’s crew is the actress Celeste Yarnall, Presley’s co-star in his 1968 film Live a Little, Love a Little, and her on-camera reunion with her former screen partner is touching indeed. Unfortunately, no one asks her why on July 2, 2010, she married a man named “Nazim Artist.”
In light of his declaration at one point in Elvis Found Alive that Presley considers himself Jewish, it’s a question that someone--perhaps Gilbert in his next documentary--should definitely investigate.


I hadn't intended to blog during the holidays, but sometimes life happens and attention must be paid. Yesterday evening Consuela Lee, musician, composer, teacher and tireless advocate of arts education for African American youths, died at age 83. Pianist, scholar, inspiration, as well as creator of the musical scores for several of the films of her nephew Spike Lee, she will be dearly missed.
She deserves great tribute, and I'm sure it will be forthcoming from many quarters in the weeks and months ahead. For now, today, her family, friends, admirers and former students, so many of whom say she changed their lives, are simply mourning the loss. All my love and sympathy go to my friend Monica Moorehead on the loss of her mother, the remarkable Consuela Lee.


Born in Pittsburgh to working-class immigrant parents, Warhol earned a degree in design at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949. His goal was to become a commercial artist, and within a year of arriving in New York City he had top assignments from Glamour magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Martini & Rossi, Columbia Records, I. Miller, and many others. His whimsical line drawings of cats, butterflies, and especially women’s shoes made him one of the most sought and highly paid illustrators in the city.
After working as an illustrator for only a few years, Warhol reinvented himself as a fine artist and after exhibiting his work in several galleries in the late 1950s, he began to receive recognition as an influential and controversial artist. He based his paintings on imagery he found in the American mass media: news photos, celebrity head shots, film stills, comics, logos, and advertisements. To convert his source images into paintings, Warhol made them into photo silkscreens and printed them on canvas. Smudges, misalignments, and inconsistencies were accepted, giving the paintings a handmade appearance despite his use of a commercial process.
His New York studio, The Factory, became a well-known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons. He promoted a collection of personalities known as Warhol superstars, and is credited with inspiring the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame." In the late 1960s, he managed and produced the experimental rock band The Velvet Underground and founded Interview magazine. He authored numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He lived openly as a gay man before the gay liberation movement.
In 1968, Warhol was shot and nearly killed by the actress Valerie Solanis, who had had a bit part in one of his films. Post-shooting, his work became both more commercial and more introspective. He hired himself out as a portraitist, making flattering images of the rich and famous; but he also made haunting self-portraits that hinted at his reported fear of death.
One of the 20th century’s best-known artists, Andy Warhol made his name in the early 1960s with paintings and prints of brand name celebrities and foods ranging from Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Coca-Cola and Campbell’s Soup. These brash, innovative works are considered icons of Pop Art, a movement that both critiqued and celebrated postwar American consumer culture. By the end of the decade, Warhol had become a celebrity in his own right, equally famous for his platinum wig and the star-studded parties he threw at his studio, the Factory, as he was for his paintings, drawings, sculpture, and films.
After gallbladder surgery, Warhol died of cardiac arrhythmia in February 1987 at the age of 58.
Although he was only 58 years old when he died, he left an immense body of work that seems increasingly relevant today. In summary, Warhol changed the way we viewed everyday objects and is one of the most influential people in modern art and defined the Pop Art Movement.
POP Art Assignment: Create a series of nine images formatted together inspired by Andy Warhol. You image can be a pop icon or a self portrait.

Jordan Ray is not an average state artist since hes practiced at placing fire with a phase. “The Next: Celebrity Reaches Your ” year one success Ray Michael performed at High Dive Gainesville on Feb.28 to get a two hour show. Ray is not a stranger to country music. Blessed in Fla. with singing history, it had been easy for him to start out performing. He began doing along with his group in Florida mostly at 8’s age. Rays grandmother is actually a musician, and equally dad and his father are performers. Ray and professional essays guitar largely play, but he also plays a number of other devices. This year, 2 yrs before he won “The Following: Recognition Is at Your Doorstep,” Lewis produced his first CD called “Who Am I,” which he published 50% of the melodies. Soon to be 25 yrs.
This way, when you review notes and sit down, you are going to remember what was what.
old, the nation singer doesnt only appreciate his judges on “The Next: Recognition Reaches Your Doorstep” for their strategies but additionally his fans for all their supports. He explained he is endowed wherever he’s now to become and in that placement he’d not be minus the fans. Lewis said he enjoys the impact his tunes have on people. He insinuates that matter is doesnted by it if a melody is recorded by an artist and seems the songs looks excellent. However, if the supporters in almost any tactics motivate the artists job fails. An artist work will be to make an impact on his / her supporters. About to be able to produce a direct effect on supporters, talking, it had been when he hit High-Dive point exactly what Ray did.
 discover suitable documentation.
Jimmy started the concert using a little bit of steel, then he continued with nation. His followers surprised by rapping I did not see it arriving.

Norwegian poker legend Thor Hansen has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Hansen was 71-years-old.
Hansen was born in the Norwegian capital Oslo on June 23, 1947, but spent large parts of his later life in Las Vegas and California. Known as “The Godfather of Norwegian Poker,” Hansen was one of the pioneers for Scandinavian poker players heading to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker.
The Grand Prix of Poker in 1987 saw Hansen’s first recorded poker tournament cashes. Those first three cashes were all final table appearances; an eighth-place and two fourth-places that netted him a combined $108,990.
A year later, at the 1988 WSOP, Hansen cashed three times, including a victory in the $5,000 Seven-Card Stud event, securing the first of two coveted gold bracelets. Hansen would strike gold again at the 2002 WSOP when he triumphed in the $1,500 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowballevent.
Perhaps Hansen’s best result in life was when he and Marcella Braswell married on Catalina Island, California in 1999. According to Norwegian poker website Poker.No, “Marcella became his girlfriend, his wife, and best friend.”


So I wrote a series of articles on Taylor Swift over the summer, and hoped at least one might get published as an op-ed somewhere. Alas, this was not to be. The essays were rejected by about a dozen publications in the U.S. and the U.K.. Probably because, according to my dad, my writing was too zealous, my POV righteous, and my tone too arrogant, to be palatable from a totally non-established anti-establishment ‘unknown’ (and the disclaimer or two injected in lieu of this criticism were apparently insufficient), but I prefer to blame the tame, dull, cautious, and fad-fuelled predictably homogeneous news sources themselves. However the reprehensible timidity and sheep-like mentality of the media is an article for another day (but there will no doubt be one on this blog in due time), and now’s the time to self-publish part one of my piece on one of my favorite personages currently alive.
Although these essays are no longer directly topical, late is better than never, so here we go:
PART ONE. In Defense of Taylor Swift… Again.
Unfortunately the time has come once again, for an article with this headline to be necessary… But this time, can we please forget the media’s favorite supporting characters, and start talking about what we should be talking about when we talk about Taylor Swift? (Warning: things are about to get quite righteous).
Taylor Swift may not be our generation’s feminist paragon, but she is without a doubt our generation’s pinnacle of feminism. And the recent backlash against her, is, in my eyes, a far more derogatory indicator of the psychological sexism still permeating our society, than of Taylor Swift herself.
To keep the obligatory background context brief, I’ll go over the latest fracas surrounding Swift, with a quick sweep of some of the recent internet soundbites resulting from the aftermath of Swift’s public break-up with DJ Calvin Harris, her fast-moving relationship with British actor Tom Hiddleston, and further pleas from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for attention.
In the last couple weeks, sentiments like:
“Taylor Swift’s reign is crashing down before our eyes and I’m loving every minute of it”,
“Taylor Swift the Feminist (©Taylor Swift) asks not what she can do for feminism, but what feminism can do for her.”,
“Taylor Swift is Cold-Blooded and Calculating”, and
“Tom, I have only one suggestion for you: run!”-
-have flooded cyberspace. Meanwhile, #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty trended on twitter, the comment boxes of Swift’s instagram profile were swarmed with snake emojis, and a woman from Louisiana dragged her religion’s reputation further down the toilet by citing the reason she ‘preach[es] christianity’ to be a comparison of Swift’s hypothetical nether regions to those of her daughters’, using the visual aids of two ham sandwiches. Oh and Taylor discreetly visited a children’s hospital to sing songs with patients. But who cares about that.
Well. I do. Actually. And I’m sick of seeing headlines like “Criticising Taylor Swift Isn’t About Negativity Towards Successful Women, It’s About Vindication”. So I’ve written my own thinkpiece (or thinkpieces rather) in response.
I’ll address the Kim/Kanye feud first, as that is the celebrity drivel most ‘topical’ at the moment, and therefore the most likely to be read. But I’ll be brief.
To recap, basically Kim Kardashian released a chopped up social media video of Kanye speaking on the phone to Taylor, informing Miss Swift of his plans for his latest single ‘Famous’. Taylor’s ‘thank you’ to Kanye for the ‘heads up’ supposedly confirms the celebrity couple’s earlier claim that: Taylor did in fact officially approve the misogynistic lyrics in the song regarding herself (me and Taylor could still have sex/I made that bitch famous), which in turn, supposedly translates to: Taylor is a lying sexist bitch.
I’ll admit Taylor does not come off at her best in the ‘snapchat’ of the phone conversation. But since when is cut and paste a reliable form of evidence? It’s too easy to twist conversations when edited out of context (as the recording in question heavily is), and we have no idea what Kanye was saying to soften, maneuver, and potentially guilt-trip Taylor, before and in-between the clips of the phone call. No, Kanye’s ‘me and Taylor could still have sex’ lyric, that Taylor laughingly called ‘a sort of compliment’, does not send a positive message to women, but Swift would have understood it was West’s prerogative to remain true to his artistic voice and its lifelong chauvinistic style.
Also, the lyrics Kanye did speciously consult Taylor about, only served to confirm Kanye’s own delusions and bizarre obsession with Taylor, and thus exposed and embarrassed him more than they insulted the songwriter. The line Taylor took issue with after the song was released, ‘I made that bitch famous’, is that which was conveniently left out of the ‘incriminating’ phone conversation, and that which slanted the semantics of the song as unequivocally sexist and degrading, while unequivocally undermining and misappropriating Swift’s achievements. Yet no one else other than Taylor’s die hard fans seem to be giving her the benefit of the doubt.
But really? When it comes to the question of who actually is in it for the fame and publicity in this fiasco, and the characters involved are a woman who became renowned for her skills with the guitar, songwriting, and country music, and a woman who is a celebrity because of an infamous criminal lawyer father, reality TV, and a sex tape… The media and general public have somehow contorted the former into being the calculating attention-whore ??
What has happened to basic human logic?! The only fame-whore here is the man writing a song entitled ‘Famous’. And why is no one calling out the irony of Kim trying ‘expose’ Taylor as manipulative, when she’s the ones who is proving the conniving nature of her and her husband’s antics, by releasing footage that, in the sheer fact of its existing, strongly suggests this ‘character assassination’ was pre-conceived and planned.
And lastly, even if Taylor did contrive to have the release of Kanye’s song lend a dramatic feminist flare to her Grammy acceptance speech (either immediately upon learning about the planned lyrics, or later upon further consideration), as some have asserted, why are women complaining? It’s a savvy move, taken in the interest of empowering women and their work, and why should Taylor be anything other than fake and disingenuous to someone who literally stole her moment and ruined her triumph the evening she won her first major Grammy, and is still trying to deny the legitimacy of her talent and take credit for the fruits of her labour?
Of course there will always be an appetite for the show that is; the great falling from grace, but why are women tearing apart Taylor Swift too? Why is Kim going after Taylor more than Kanye? Those soundbites I quoted from various new sources earlier in this essay? All but one of them were written by women. And this regurgitation of venom directed towards Swift is made all the troubling by the fact that females are grabbing their pitchforks alongside the men, and all the more symptomatic of the patriarchy that still dominates the modern western world.
This phenomenon is one we need to start discussing more, one that, in my not so humble opinion, is a direct product of the ideological sexism that still reigns as supreme in Hollywood as it does in Wall Street, that tells us all of our fellow women are threats and competition, that forces women to turn against each other because there is only one high profile position in the corporation, only one role in the comedy, allocated for those possessing two X chromosomes. And we women need to take responsibility for some of the culpability, need to stop reinforcing this system by continuing to adhere and comply to it, and start questioning and defying it.
Which brings me to the other, ‘older’, internet-breaking event of: Hiddleswift. Why is our society so uncomfortable with the notion that Taylor Swift has finally found the true love she has been looking for for so long? Why are we so resistant to the idea that Hiddleston might just be an English gentleman who is hopelessly in love and OKAY with letting go of outdated notions of masculinity and conventional gender roles (which, contrary to popular opinion, makes him MORE of a man, not less of one)? Is it because our society refuses to allow America’s ‘Little Miss Perfect’ to have procured the last piece of her puzzle of perfection?
I think a lot of people look at Swift and see ‘white’, ‘privilege’, and ‘pretty’, and are unable to see much beyond that, to see that Taylor Swift is also part of a minority. Taylor Swift is a woman. A woman who will have worked like a pack mule, and exercised what is undoubtedly a formidable IQ and an incredibly resilient brand of courage, to be where she is now. And although Taylor has accepted plenty of financial payments and prestigious awards and commendations for her music, she is yet to be given the ideological credit she is warranted for her accomplishments as a woman and contributions to feminism.
Because shouldn’t we be applauding, not shaming Swift, for not being precious about her private life in this case (Hiddleston), a case in which, for the first time, Swift has a boyfriend she can be proud of, who in turn, is proud and loud in his unhesitating proclamations of commitment? And isn’t one of the inevitable consequences of Swift’s advertising this newfound whirlwind romance, the normalizing of the still foreign concept of women being as capable and deserving as men to possess more status in the standard heterosexual relationship dynamic? So why then, upon witnessing Tom Hiddleston wearing a goofy ‘I ❤ T.S.’ tank top while celebrating a holiday with his girlfriend, is the common reaction amongst individuals not that of cheering, but of recrimination and mockery?
And why, even if Hiddleswift does turn out to be a stunt, would that turn of events be such a detrimental smear on Swift’s character? As a fan of ‘meta’ I would personally find it brilliant if the whole relationship was all an experimental elaborate hoax art project (a la Joaquin Pheonix/‘I’m Not There’), commenting on the double standards of public opinion/the media, and the mirages that can be presented to the paparazzi in the interest of protecting privacy. At the end of the day, the ‘answer’ to the quagmire that is ‘Hiddleswift’ does not interest me beyond its service as a barometer of sexism in today’s day and age. Would this or that explanation make me think any more or less of Taylor? No. Because I love Taylor Swift for who she is as a female artist, not who she is as a female on the dating marketplace, or the choices she has to make as a celebrity and businesswoman (that I will never be able to judge her for or understand as I will never know what it’s like to have grown up in the limelight, to even just be in the limelight, and to negotiate every hurdle that that limelight hurls at one). Because I do not care about dissecting her current personal life and/or master plan because I’ve respected the results of almost everything she has done up until this point, so I trust her.
Because I care about outcomes, I care about facts, I care about the fact that, whether intended or not, Taylor Swift is helping all women by simply being Taylor Swift. I care about the fact that Taylor is the lead writer of all of her lyrics and the lead composer of all of her songs. I care about the fact that to me, and to many, her music is delectably catchy, invaluably relatable, and unbelievably easy to dance to. Most of all, I care about the fact that Taylor Swift has reached her levels of success without ever once exploiting her sexuality, or allowing others to exploit her sexuality, as a female pop star, as someone enmeshed in perhaps the most sexuality-saturated profession for women that exists. I also care about the fact that Taylor Swift earned more money than any other celebrity alive, male or female, last year, without ever marketing herself as a desirable sexual object (another recent headline that seems to have been forgotten in lieu of ‘worthier news’). I care about the fact that, in spite of all the negative press Taylor has had to cope with throughout her career, since being a teenager, she has not only dealt with continually being the beacon for all slutshamers and bitter keyboard warriers to hurl their hurt at from the comfort of their anonymity, she has continually continued to create. And that, I imagine, takes a tremendous amount of fortitude and integrity, and warrants an enormous amount of merit and respect.
So THANK YOU Taylor, for keeping at it, for never depriving your fans and the world of your art, for having enough strength and self-esteem to be able to disregard the vast number and types of people constantly trying to tear you down (something ALL girls and women alike need more of, and thereby need in a role model), by making music out of your experiences with hate, by never failing to transmute the destructive into the constructive. I for one, will always be grateful, and aware.

Kyle Blake, aka K-Train, is a social media and viral video celebrity who made his name by being a superhuman glutton for punishment, with inhuman strength and durability. He is famous for Jackass-style stunts and stupid "internet bro" antics. He is obnoxious and full of himself, and might actually be the postmodern superteen apotheosis of the internet bro meme. Kyle is Jack Flash's main internet rival. Or at least, he thinks so.

International bestseller ‘Bossypants’, is an autobiography which follows the life of the well-known comedian, writer, producer and actress, Tina Fey. Her voice is very clear in this biography through the funny and slightly sarcastic tone which makes the read even more entertaining.
The story follows her life from her early school days to where her career is in 2011 – of course, a lot more has happened in her career and general life since the book was written. Although it mostly follows a chronological order, Fey jumps back and forth at times to tell some of the more humourous or interesting anecdotes from her life. Above all ideas about real-life that readers can relate to, for example Tina’s notions of music at photo shoots.
“Sometimes they ask if you want to hook up your ipod for background music. Do not do this. It’s a trap.”
The beginning of the autobiography covers Fey’s childhood and teenage years which portrays a little to the reader how she became the great comedic writer and actress she is now. For example a whole chapter about a summer theatre project that she took part in.
Anecdotes and stories about Tina’s career and working life also show the reader the hard work (and sometimes just luck) that got her to where she is now. Despite the fact that the majority of the book has a humorous tone, Fey also covers what it is like to be a woman in comedy. This more serious tone is done in a way that is not downbeat, instead, it’s an empowering section. She explains how the comedy field has changed over time to look less at gender and more at whether the person is funny or not. It seems to be that Tina Fey is proud of this progress which happened whilst she and many of her female friends were working in this occupation.
This book is a great balance of humour, real-life and female empowerment, and is, therefore, everything I expected and hoped for from Tina Fey’s autobiography. Fans of Fey and her work will surely enjoy hearing how she became the great comedic professional we all know and love.
Liked Tina Fey’s autobiography why not try Yes! by Tina’s friend and comedic partner Amy Poehler.

He went silent after his January Christmas Miracle Show, only to re-emerge in the Spring releasing his album 4PMP, a reference to an undisclosed subject source not yet made public. Strangely, the album was taken off his official Spotify and Genius profiles, replaced with his latest album, Хошхоног / Hoshhonog, thus indicating that perhaps the creation of this album was that which was being referenced, although one cannot say for sure. Later, on July 8th, he had one feature on Everthe8’s album, Not by Recipe, which depicted Husky’s experiences in his homeland of Ulan-Ude in the track, Оазис / Oasis. He was then interviewed on July 22nd on length for a Vice Investigates video and accompanying article, where he opened up about his feelings of personal isolation, his homeland, his musical journey, and his personal beliefs on various subjects. As a taste of what was said, he had stated that the act of reading is beneficial for all, no matter the content, a sentiment I share in theory. However, just nine days later, another short-form documentary was released about Husky and his creative/personal endeavors entitled, Кто подставил рэпера Хаски? / Who framed the rapper, Husky? In September, Husky became extremely busy once again, performing and releasing music in quick succession, September 3rd being featured during the Summer Sound concert, while simultaneously releasing the very first solo track of 2020, Аферсит / Gambler, from his then-unreleased album. September 10th, Husky released another single off the album Бесконечный магазин / Endless Shop, and two days later he performed at Симферополь. It was really towards the end of the month that Husky started to release loads of work, on September 24th, releasing a single-track Album, Lucifer, which would eventually make its way to the larger album, Хошхоног. He released single-track albums for three of the songs on his album, Lucifer, Swindler, and Endless Store.
Accompanying the release of his one-track Lucifer, he performed at Roof Place in St. Petersburg on September 24th, and the day after, accompanying the release of his new album, also released a three-remix album entitled, это все ху, featuring the stylings of Dirty Move Beats. Just two days ago, on September 25th, he released the first, of hopefully many, music videos accompanying his new album. The track, Никогда-нибудь / Ever, was treated to cinematic Husky-ness, depicting scenes of literal human slaughter to symbolize the destitute nature of human existence and Husky’s feeling of living out his fate without being able to change its projected course, using an insect stuck in amber as a metaphor within the track, but not within the music video. The music video, according to an video-recorded interview documented on the Genius website, was filmed as early as September 4th and this means Husky’s rebirth was planned well in advance and now the fruits of his labor are unfolding with firm momentum. Number wise, his Spotify account is growing at a consistent pace, on September 18th his monthly listener statistic clocked in at 379,776, but just 6 days later it had grown by 26,223 listeners. That is not a number to scoff at, and even Spotify knew that, releasing a brand new playlist featuring the best of Russian rap which included Husky’s new songs entitled, Hip-Hop Puska / Cannon. Why is this important? Because prior to this, the playlist that was created by Spotify featuring the ‘best’ of Russian rap had not featured Husky at all, except for one track at times. As it stands on September 27th, Husky’s follower count is 308,307, a two-thousand plus growth from only two days prior, and so one can make the assertion that Husky’s fame is not only established within Russia and European circles of influence, but quickly becoming global, even though he has not ventured outside of Russia to perform as of yet. Just like in 2018, Husky has a two-month tour planned, with one concert exception happening in February of 2021, spanning over 32 locations, from Minsk and Perm, to Kazan and Saratov. We shall see what occurs during this tour, but from the onset, Husky has come from his soloist and performance 'hibernation' with strength and determination.
Armed with new music and a revitalized image, complete with dark brown hair instead of a shaved head, rugged yet tailored stubble, and strong proclivity for blood, guts, and obscurity, the Husky from 2018 has developed and taken on a rawer, more introspective voice, both narratively and vocally, although this is not to say that his music has become primarily 'soft.' He utilizes the same expressionary genuineness, but concurrently experiments with new musical in

Steve here and yes you read that correctly. Just a couple of days after reporting that Jessica Biel was set to be Viper in Wolverine, it appears as though she has succumbed to cold feet!
Apparently she heard the rumblings that people didn’t think she was good enough for the role and get this – wasn’t sexy enough for the role! Are you kidding me? I need to have a sit down with whoever it was that said that. Doesn’t make any sense to me at all!
Who is next on the list of potentials? Well the word on the street is that the character might be scrapped from the movie because they are coming up on deadlines to begin production of the movie.
Stay tuned folks – this could be the second coming of the Dwight Howard saga – noooo!

In the early ‘90s, up-and-coming artist Tupac Shakur was taking the rap industry by storm. Known for his electric energy and controversial lyrics, his music focused largely on social injustices and oppression. Equally notorious for the brilliance of his music and for his frequent problems with gang violence and the law, he accrued a large and passionate community of listeners and fans. When he was killed in a drive-by shooting at the young age of 25 in 1996, his legacy as a well-known and respected voice within the genre lived on.
In the book His Life Through My Eyes, filmmaker Gobi Rahimi, who worked continually with Tupac in the months preceding his death, offers a unique glimpse into the artist’s day-to-day life. Sparing no detail, Rahimi takes the reader on an intimate and emotional journey through his memories of the times spent with Tupac, aided by photographs he took during the time. Rahimi tells the story of how he came to work with Tupac and become his close friend.
This book is shamelessly personal; it is as much about Rahimi’s journey to process Tupac’s death and honor his legacy as it is about Tupac himself. This is to Rahimi’s credit, though. What might otherwise feel like a series of empty anecdotes is bonded by Rahimi’s laudable honesty and openness with regards to his grief and admiration for Tupac.
Rahimi touches on the sociopolitical controversy and turmoil that surrounded Tupac during his life, and does not gloss over Tupac’s struggles with racism in the music industry. However, his focus is much more on Tupac as a human being than as a public figure. Rather than recounting details of his friend’s public persona, he centers on portraying the man he knew.
In many ways, the book reads very much like a series of diary entries. Some may find Rahimi’s accounts somewhat chaotically organized, but overall the stories provide captivating, interesting, and thought-provoking insights into Shakur’s life. Rahimi’s respect and love for his friend ultimately shine through. Engaging, personal, and deeply felt, Rahimi’s tribute to Tupac Shakur will be sure to move those interested in his legacy.

This youthful-looking actor unfairly seems to be best known as the younger brother of British actor, Colin Firth. This is a pity because Jonathan Firth has developed a distinct and interesting resume of his own with performances in radio, theatre, feature films, but more prominently in very high quality television work.
After graduating from the Central School of Speech and Drama, London (1989), Jonathan landed several television roles.
He has worked primarily in television for the BBC, where he became a heartthrob as Richard Grey in the 1992 feudal drama Covington Cross.
In Wuthering Heights he had a small role as Linton Heatcliff.
This was followed with the mini-series Middlemarch
iin which he plays most notably as the "struggling to find himself" Fred Vincy in the wonderful British mini-series "Middlemarch" (1994).
Jonathan had an opportunity to showcase a fuller range of emotion and acting skill as the very complicated Sergeant Troy in a superior remake of Far from the Madding Crowd (1998) (TV).
His other television credits include The Magical Legend of The Leprechauns and in the historical drama Victoria & Albert, he was cast as the morally upright Prince Albert in A & E's production of Victoria & Albert (2001).
In 2003 he got the role Stephanus in the dramatized BBC recreation of the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.


The fact that Elvis Presley sang gospel before he ever sang rock n roll might come as a surprise to some people. They might also be shocked to learn that this hip-swinging, guitar-playing King of Rock-n-Roll, first guitar was a gift from his Pentecostal pastor.
"I ain't no saint, voiced Elvis Presley, "but I've tried on no account to do anything that would damage my relations or arouse God...I presume all any kid needs is love and the sense he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would grant some kid that perception, I would presume I had contributed something to the universe."
He was born and raised in the Gospel Zone of America and his household attended the First Assembly of God Church whose Pentecostal services commonly included singing. "When Elvis Presley was only a little kid, he would glide off my lap, run down the aisle, and crawled up to the stage of the church. He would stand looking eagerly up at the choir and tried to sing with them voiced his mum Gladys."
In 1946, Elvis Presley asked his parents for a bicycle, but Gladys being totally shielding of Elvis was terrified that he might fall off and injure himself, and swerved Elvis to get a guitar instead. The following year, his papa Vernon's brother, Johnny Smith and Assembly of God Pastor Frank Smith, gave him fundamental guitar lessons. Soon he was listening to the radio, tuning into a range of music as he tried to select out melodies.
In 1954 Elvis Presley went to the Mississippi Alabama State Fair. It was there, at the age of ten that Elvis stood on a bench in front of a large crowd, unescorted by music and sang "Old Shep" a warm-hearted ballad concerning a boy and his dog. To his delight he was awarded 2nd Prize for the very 1st time for singing. Elvis experienced a basic but significant tip that day. His utterance was resilient and singing could produce his fantasies to become a reality.
In his consecutive youth, Elvis Presley could be seen at every gospel performance appearing in Memphis. It was during this period that he was befriended by such gospel greats as J. D. Sumner and the Blackwood Brothers, as well as numerous of the Black gospel groups. He was frequently invited backstage and would connect with them in melody.
Because of this force, he ripened into a unique style that incorporated the styles of all of these groups. His favorite singer at this time was Jake Hess. Jake is still on the move in gospel music via the concerts organised by the Gaither Reunion. Elvis won the older ability competition at Humes High School just before his 1953 graduation.
On completion of his graduation he took a job at Parker Machinists Store. By June was employed at the Precision Tool Company and hitherto drove heavy vehicles for the Crown Electric Co. He was seen most of his time on Beale Street and frequented the all-night white and black, "Gospel Chorus" that were held downtown.
On the way out to jobs in a Ford pick-up, Elvis would make his way by the Memphis Recording Service. One Saturday, Elvis Presley stopped by the recording services with his old guitar and records his mum a birthday gift. Elvis cut 2 songs "My Happiness" and the 2nd "That's When Your Heartaches Start."
Resulting, the tape was given to the manager, Sam C. Phillips, proprietor of Sun Records and Elvis was invited to tape varied competent records. Rock and Roll history was made when Elvis Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black performed bluesman Arthur "Big Boy" Cruddup's "That's All Right" in a light-hearted, up-pulse fashion.
Elvis made his 1st official stage presence at Overton Park Shell in Memphis. Elvis was extremely apprehensive as he walked out to perform "Good Rockin' Tonight". He felt his voice wasn't doing it unescorted, so he threw his body into the music, his feet began to shuffle, the knees bowed and shook, his hips swiveled and pumped in interval to the music.
"The first time that I appeared on stage, it terrified me to death. I genuinely didn't grasp what all the yelling was about. I didn't realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the proprietor backstage I voiced 'What'd I do? What'd I do?' And he uttered 'What ever it is, go back and do it again'."
From a 1972 taped conversation used in MGM's documentary "Elvis on Tour". Elvis was blessed with a natural ability to sing just about anything, but he needed to sense as tranquil with his picked out material, as he was around the guys that worked for him. Elvis had a tenor utterance and a solid 3 octave scope. He loved to sing the bass parts, but he could hit the lofty notes so distinctly and dramatically that it came to be certified as one of the pre-eminent aspects of his style.
Elvis sought a personal "grasp" in all things that he did; which might develop from the pattern of the music, but most of the time it was more likely to come from something in the lyric, which would allow him to communicate himself.
Senior fans recall watching him perform his gospel performance of "Peace In The Valley" on the Ed Sullivan Show. This performance proved to numerous skeptical parents and righteousness critics uniformly that he was not only a "hip-shaking rock and roller." It demonstrated that his understanding and conveyance of gospel music was rare, and was based on childhood and teen years of presence and singing alongside his mum at church and tent revivals.
He knew and could sing from recollection a large number of gospel and hymnal songs. Elvis once voiced "I know almost every god-fearing melody that's been written".
Predominantly, Elvis took gratification in listening to gospel. Elvis passionately believed that there was nothing as powerful or touching than the commendable gospel music. When traveling he would carry around a case of a hundred or so albums-most of them were gospel music.
Listening to his preferred gospel music was a means for Elvis to get in touch with his bloodline; he frequently used this music for giving praise to the Lord when feeling modest and grateful, which he constantly did. The Word of God says to sing praise and lift your voice to Him.
Elvis wasn't one to sing a melody unless he felt it; he had to feel it in his heart, for that's where he sang from and that's what made him a renowned star. No matter what he sang it had to fit him completely, and it is clear when going through songs he sang over the years, and hearing the personal connections that were evident in his life. When Elvis sang "How Great Thou Art" he felt it in his being, with such sensitivity and meaning he had the power in him to move mountains.
A Marty Robbins's hit, "You Gave Me A Mountain" articulated his need to persevere, stay sturdy, carry on with strength after his break-up, and the despondency of being without his daughter. "American Trilogy," one Elvis put together, as a honour to the stateliness of his nation and its custom. Only Elvis could have pulled it off with such perfection. "There is something spellbound about watching a man who has lost himself discover his way back home...He sang with the kind of power people no longer envisage." - John Landau Review of Elvis, (1968 TV Special).
There is no question Elvis Presley's favorite music was Gospel. He warmed up for story sessions with gospel songs, and when not on tour was repeatedly at his residence piano knocking out his favorite hymns. Elvis quite often sought-after to listen to Mahalia Jackson, the Queen of Gospel.
Elvis Presley only scored one big gospel hit on the pop charts during his extraordinary profession - 1965's "Crying In The Chapel," a re-release of a performance from 1960, coming at a period when he desperately required it, but gospel music both "white" and "black," was a significant component of both his singing style and his worldview.
During his celebrated career it was Gospel, and Gospel music alone, that earned him the coveted Grammy awards - 1967 winner 'Best Sacred Performance' for his "How Great Thou Art" album.
In the 1970's Elvis Presley sang Gospel songs more and more in his concerts and had the "Imperials" and the "Sweet Inspirations" as well as "JD Sumner & the Stamps" as his Gospel backing group singers. Elvis also sometimes read passages from the Bible on stage during his concerts and insisted that audiences were respectfully quiet while "Sweet, Sweet Spirit" was sung by his backup group.
The gospel song "Life" was recorded by Elvis in 1970. In the year 2000 it was also included on the 3 CD set, "Elvis - Peace in the Valley- the Complete Gospel Recordings". 'Lead Me, Guide Me' is one of Elvis' most touching performances from 1971 and when he sings, "I am lost if you take your hand from me" he seems so totally sincere it is truly moving.
In 1972 the gospel album "He Touched Me" is released to favorable reviews, and wins Elvis his 2nd Grammy Award. Elvis's live recording of "How Great Thou Art" in 1975 receives the Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance.
His gospel music is much loved by Elvis fans worldwide. Elvis read his Bible and prayed constantly and was very up to date about spiritual matters. In the mid 1960's he also held Bible studies in his Bel Air home where he lived while making his movies. He at no time sought-after being called "The King". When an adoring fan called him The King one day, Elvis replied to her "No Honey, there is only one King and that is Jesus Christ".
June 26, 1977 Elvis gave his concluding performance in Madison Square Arena at Indianapolis, Indiana. It was in some of these latter performances, when Elvis Presley sang gospel, that one could see the power he felt and emitted while singing gospel, spiritual and inspirational songs mixed in with his "rock" numbers. " 'Til we meet you again, may God bless you. Adios." - Elvis uttered in 1977 at the end of a performance during his final tour.
August 6 Elvis Presley sang gospel and hymns such as "How Great Thou Art" with companions for the last time at Ginger Alden's home. On August 16th 1977 "The King" Elvis Presley was found dead at his residence in Graceland.
Afew hours before he died, Elvis prayed, "Dear Lord, please show me a way. I am tired and confused and I need your help." Elvis prayed this prayer in the presence of his stepbrother, Rick Stanley. Elvis also voiced to Rick a few moments before his death "Rick, we should all begin to live for Christ."
Most of Elvis’ charity endeavors received no publicity at all. Throughout his adult life, for friends, for siblings, and for total strangers, he quietly paid medical bills, bought houses, supported families, paid off debts, and much more.
Elvis was a Christian and many believed that Elvis knew he was called by God to be an evangelist. In the last year of his life he sang more Gospel songs on stage, and was even known to read from the Bible on stage.
James Brown said upon the news of Elvis’ death, “I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him. Last time I saw him was at Graceland, we sang ‘Old Blind Barnabus’ together, a gospel song. I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother.”
