Sadly, he would have been 75 years old today.

So what’s your favorite Elvis song?…     mine?… “A Little Less Conversation.”
And how fitting that the new Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas opens this month
at the new ARIA Resort & Casino. Time to start planning my next Vegas trip…

So while the TV networks deal with those yahoos in Washington
about the schedule for the State Of The Union Address…
another one of my favorite shows announced its cast for the 20th anniversary edition
of Survivor. And this time the two tribes will be divided by “Heroes vs. Villains.”
Which is pretty easy to do… since all the players this season being returning castaways!
We’ve seen all of them before. We know how they play the game. We know their strengths.
We know their weaknesses. But how will they need to “change their game”
to keep the others off guard and make it to the end?!

Mark your calendars… Survivor Heroes vs. Villains premieres on Thursday, February 11th.
Unless some political muckity-muck decides to spout off again?!…

Word on the street… a little more than a rumor at this point…
with no confirmation from ABC… and I’m not happy about this…
but President Barack Obama’s “State Of The Union Address” was announced today
and it is the same night as the “LOST” three-hour premiere event!!!

Say it isn’t so… where are their priorities?!
