PRESLEY, STARR, DAVIS AND SPRINGSTEEN

 

lisa-marie-presley-001YQ6WFor Lisa Marie Presley, returning to Graceland apparently feels like she's taking part in documentary series "This Is Your Life". The daughter of Elvis Presley spent her 44th birthday Wednesday, February 1 in Memphis, Tennessee, opening a new exhibit called "Elvis ... Through His Daughter's Eyes," and has since shared her thoughts over the experience. Recalling what went through her mind when she first saw the exhibit, the Princess of Rock and Roll told PEOPLE, "I walked in with my twins [3-year-old Harper and Finley], looked around, and I gasped. I couldn't tell if I was going to laugh or cry." She added, "It was like that show 'This Is Your Life'." "Elvis ... Through His Daughter's Eyes" is featured on Graceland's VIP tour and will remain open for two years.


RINGO STAR001AARingo Starr won't be joining The Beatles reunion if there is any. The former Fab Four rules out doing the band reunion when being asked by CNN to address rumour about a 2012 Olympics gig in London. "Oh no, I'll be here. I'm already booked in America," he says.  When he's informed that his former bandmate, Paul McCartney, thought the opposite, Ringo states, "Paul can do it." The English musician, who played drums in the band, adds, "He is doing quite well without me. He is doing OK."
