Huh. Just learned #Elvis Presley's manager was a man who immigrated illegally at age 20 from the Netherlands and changed his name to Tom Parker.

Never would've thought that the guy who discovered Elvis was a Dutch immigrant who spoke with a heavy accent and (one assumes?) knew little about the American music scene.

Anyway, the new Elvis movie looks fantastic. I love #BazLurrman's visual work so this should be beautiful to watch.

In 2019, Austin Butler heard Baz Luhrmann was making a movie about Elvis Presley. The actor put all meetings and other auditions on hold to focus on #Elvis: “I knew that the only way that I could do it was if I gave it everything that I had.” latimes.com/entertainment-…

While preparing for the role, Butler tried performing “Love Me Tender,” but it didn't feel right. He thought of his late mother, how he and Presley shared that grief, and sang “Unchained Melody.”

“Channeling those emotions just felt true,” he says. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Butler's tape impressed Baz Luhrmann: “It didn't feel like an audition. It felt like a spycam.”

Butler went through several months of Elvis workshops, acting and singing in character, before he won the role. latimes.com/entertainment-…

@iPaperTravel 🎞️ The King’s formative years are chronicled in a new biopic by Baz Luhrmann, with a sharp focus on the musical cradle in Memphis, Tennessee – and it features plenty of places that you can still visit today.

@iPaperTravel 📍 🚘 Gabet went on a road trip through the Deep South to get under the skin of The King.

He rides shotgun in a ’55 Cadillac Fleetwood – Elvis’s favourite car – and starts his tour in the still-spinning Sun Studio to learn more about how The King of Rock ’n’ Roll came to be.

Baz Luhrmann's splashy #Elvis biopic attempts to make the King relevant to a new generation. But 50 years after Presley's last hit, is it simply too late? latimes.com/entertainment-…

“No one I know under 30 cares or knows much about Elvis,” says Pitchfork editor in chief Puja Patel. “The classic version of rock ’n’ roll just doesn’t exist the way it once did, and that’s in large part because younger audiences are less interested in it” latimes.com/entertainment-…

Enter the biopic.

“Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Rocketman,” “Respect” and “Pistol” all bring music and artists to a new generation. But is Elvis too old — not to mention too white and too male — for resurrection in 2022? latimes.com/entertainment-…

Abro hilo del rumor de la separación de Shakira y Piqué, supuestamente, por una infidelidad del defensa del FC Barcelona

✍🏼

Resumen de su historia: se conocieron en mayo/2010, cuando Shakira fue llamada por la FIFA para hacer la canción del Mundial de Sudáfrica.

Ella quedó fascinada con él, intercambiaron números, luego mensajes y después él le prometió ganar la copa para así poder verla en la final

Después de unos meses, Shakira anunció su separación con su entonces novio, Antonio de la Rúa, y aunque mucho se especulaba sobre su relación con Gerard Piqué, no fue hasta marzo del 2011 que lo hizo oficial publicando una foto:

"Les presentó a mi sol... Shak"

Optimism is in the air in Hollywood as the summer movie season kicks off this weekend with the release of #DoctorStrange2. The @AP is here to guide you through what’s coming to the big, and small, screens this summer. apne.ws/W5otg3O

After two down years because of the pandemic, analysts say summer profits could approach 2019 levels. Pre-pandemic, the summer movie season regularly accounted for around 40% of the year’s grosses.

Expectations are high for #TopGunMaverick, which sees Tom Cruise reprising one of his most iconic roles, has waited in the wings for two years for the right moment to fly into theaters. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he never wavered in wanting to release it in theaters.

Theatrical Releases During 2022

1. #Sing2
Bigger adventure and slightly better sequel to get us teary-eyed and smiling at certain moments. Garth Jennings dig deeper on some main characters' personal journeys until "out-of-this-world" show in the end. You'll be sing along with them if you know those songs.
3.5/5

2. #HappyNewYear
Enchanting homage to love in luxury hotel's holiday season. Kwak Jae-young got typical 'K-drama' romance with expected sentimental moments. At least famous cast delivered good performances and very easy on the eye to create warm and fuzzy feel in our hearts

UMB

@jilldjones

“My Man” - ‘MM’ is the track that kick started it all.

MM provided the impetus that began the creative work for the @jilldjones ‘JJ’ album.

So from that POV alone, it’s a very important track.

#PrinceTwitterThread
#jilljones

MM was constructed over a period of 7 months at Sunset Sound.

On 10 May 1985, after finalising the configuration of the Mazarati album, P created the initial version of MM.

On 12 May 1985 P recorded overdubs & it’s also possible that JJ laid down the vocals on this date.

In that same month, P was laying down tracks & configuring several other projects including Parade, The Family, ATWIAD, Dance Electric, Manic Monday & Roadhouse Garden.

He was also working on a no. of unreleased tracks.

And also planning UTCM & scouting for movie locations🤯

With the County in lockdown and knowing he'd be home, I took the chance to catch a few moments with @Recluseuk/@oldsamuelband lead singer/guitarist, @BrittRecluseuk learning that it maybe it wasn't Lisa Simpson that peaked his interest in music...

#lockdown #StayHome #interview

Do you remember when you were first aware of music?

BR: One of the earliest memories involving music that I have is travelling in my dad’s car to a holiday somewhere in England listening to Freddie Mercury’s I Was Born to Love You, I was pretty much raised on #Queen & #Elvis

BR: I must have been around 4-5 years old.

Are you a still fan?

BR: They are indelibly linked to so memories that I’m definitely fond of them. There are specific songs by each that make my trousers fly away, I look at you, ‘It’s Late’ and Innuendo..

What book was #Elvis reading when we passed that fateful night? This book! This book was in his hands when he passed. Elvis was extremely spiritually minded, he even admitted to having ET encounters and visions

#Elvis was deeply into the #Occult and he is featured in my exclusive, premium episode of In Plain Sight: Secret Occultists. It will appear tmrw in video gallery of my website and not be on YT.

Do you know of any "secret occultists?" Who do you know of that was deep into the occult but the public seems to just gloss over?

Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Here’s a fun story for you. I spent 3 years learning about this guy, Phil Kitzer, the greatest con artist you’ve never heard of. 1/

In the 1960s, he was arrested for embezzling millions of $ out of 15 insurance companies in Minneapolis and Chicago, bankrupting them. 2/

Kitzer spent 8 days testifying in his own defense. He was hypnotic, charismatic. After 3-month trial, the jury believed & acquitted him. 3/
