HE'S STILL THE KING!!!!

For the second straight year, Elvis tops the Forbes annual list of top-earning dead celebrities. The Elvis Presley estate raked in over $52 million in the last year giving him top honors. By comparison with some of the top-earning living celebrities, Justin Timberlake earned $44 million and Madonna took in a mere $40 million.

OH, WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!

Congratulations to LAR Entertainment for a blockbuster night of Doo-Wop & Rock & Roll at Easton's State Theatre. Featuring The Duprees, Kenny Vance & The Planotones, The Tokens, The Teenagers and Kid Kyle, the show was a knockout. Add to that the incredible singing of Pure Gold from PBS fame. The jam-packed crowd roared their approval as I introduced each group on stage. When I took them off, yes, standing ovations. I certainly look forward to working with them again when they return to the State Theatre on March 28th.

REMEMBER, DON'T DRIVE DRUNK---LET THE KIDS DRIVE

Here's a story that you just couldn't make up. An Ontario woman was charged with a traffic violation after having her nine-year-old daughter drive her home following a night of drinking. The child was driving the car slowly along country roads in southeastern Ontario when police noticed how tiny she was and pulled her over. Didn't anyone ever hear of a taxicab?

HOW'S THIS FOR MOTHER OF THE YEAR?

A Long Beach, California mother has been found guilty of second-degree murder. The 31- year-old mom drove her 17-year-old son and his friends to a fatal fight with a rival gang, and as a result, a 13-year-old died in that fight. You ask, what the heck was she thinking? Her son was charged as an adult, and also convicted of second-degree murder. Oh well, at least he won't have far to travel on Mother's Day.

JUST FEEL THAT NICE OCEAN BREEZE

Regulators in New Jersey awarded the rights last week for construction of a $1 billion offshore wind farm in the southern part of the state to Garden State Offshore Energy. The plan calls for the installation of 96 turbines to produce as much as 346 megawatts of electricity, enough to power tens of thousands of houses, starting in 2013. The turbines would be placed about 20 miles off the coast of New Jersey's Atlantic and Ocean Counties, much farther out and in much deeper water than other proposed wind farms. Since there's no shortage of that good ole' ocean breeze, this is a win-win for everyone.

NOW THERE'S AN ENERGY DRINK!!!!!!

Twenty-five states are asking MillerCoors LLC to abandon plans for their new caffeine-infused, alcoholic energy drink called Sparks Red. The drink is being called by many as "a recipe for disaster", because mixing caffeine with alcohol reduces a drinker's sense of intoxication. Not that it's anything new, as many young drinkers already add alcohol to energy drinks, but MillerCoors is just making the whole process a lot easier. Will the beverage giant abandon their plans to release the new drink shortly? Probably not, hey, a buck is a buck.

NOW THERE'S AN IDEA!!

An Ohio woman says the Michigan Department of Transportation owes her $16 for gas she lost idling in traffic for over an hour due to unannounced highway construction. The woman sent Michigan transportation officials her bill, which she claims is justified because there were no warning signs about the roadwork on southbound Interstate 275 near Newport, Michigan, and north of Toledo, Ohio. At $4-per-gallon for gasoline, "they could at least let you know these things".
