I think the Enquirer didn't dig any further than a Google search for this one.

I never call Elvis in my dreams of Little Elvis. I call him: my daddy.

I think you don´t understand what we´re talking about. We´re not talking about Elvis, we´re talking about a part of Elvis´ body.

TEN THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ELVIS PRESLEY




In honor of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday The ENQUIRER has unearthed a few of The King's hush-hush secrets.

1) Elvis was a twin - but his brother Jesse was stillborn.

2) His dad Vernon's middle name was Elvis. Like father like son.

3) Elvis actually had brown - it was dyed black.

4) He nicknamed his manhood Little Elvis.

5) When Elvis first appeared on The Steve Allen Show he was forced to sing "Hound Dog" to a basset hound on-the-air. He flew into a rage backstage.

6) Elvis' controlling manager Col. Tom Parker's real name was Andreas Cornelius van Kuijk. He was an illegal immigrant from Holland.

7) El's shoe size was 11.

8) Jailhouse Rock had its world premiere in 1957 at the Loew's State Theater in Memphis where El once worked as an usher, tearing tickets.

9) El's 1960 single "It's Now or Never" affected a jailed prisoner so profoundly he vowed to enter the music industry. Barry White, who was imprisoned for stealing tires, became a R&B superstar.

10) Elvis disliked his nickname of The King often saying "Jesus Christ is the King. I'm just an entertainer."

SPECIAL "SPINAL TAP" NUMBER 11 FACT: Despite the fact Elvis recorded more than 600 songs - he didn't write a single one. El's many songwriters included cult movie director Ed Wood's ex-wife Dolores Fuller and[ Otis Blackwell.

HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY ELVIS!

IMO the enquirer needs to learn the definition of honouring. Why couldn't they have dug deeper and found information relating to Elvis thoughts, opinions and feelings on different topics, find the depth to him that there was. To me this article is just so shallow, he was so much more than 10 facts listed one after another. He gave so much, I find this article very sad

I'm not sure I believe that deal about Big Barry rippin' off tires ~ I mean, doughnuts, maybe, but tires?!

Are you familiar with the Enquirer? No, for them this was deep research! I'm sure the reporter was sweating as he clicked "send" just knowing he found these 10 "little-known facts"
