The Time Elvis Serenaded a Naked Tom Jones

Colleen Kane — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 17:10:00 GMT

This is some amazing breaking news right here. Tom Jones has informed the world (via The Sun) that Elvis Presley once serenaded him while he was in the shower. Here's how that bananas scenario came to be.

Elvis came to Vegas to see Tom Jones perform, and as the hirsute Welshman lathered up in the shower, Elvis couldn't wait to sing him a little tune.

"When I opened my eyes he was leaning over the door singing to me. I didn’t have any clothes on. I think he was checking me out."

I am sad posting this, as it will probably be a very long time before another anecdote this awesome comes along.

Tom Jones' Wife is Rich But Rather Tragic

Colleen Kane — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:50:00 GMT

Seeing a Tom Jones concert is still on my bucket list, but lets just say I won't be throwing any knickers, especially considering some of the revelations of his interview in the Times Online about his illegitimate son, groupies, and his wife of 51 years.

So what's new with this pussy-hound? For one thing, he and wifey have a don't-ask-or-I-will tell arrangement regarding groupies.

He also finally admitted in this interview that his nearly 20-year-old love child is in fact his son, after not acknowledging him previously or ever meeting him, saying "I was tricked." Come on now, he was tricked? Can old Tom be fooled so easily?

But more troubling was the description of his wife as a sort of agoraphobic Stepford wife, happy just to vaccuum or organize at home while sipping Dom Perignon.

Read the full Times Online interview here.

Sloppy Seconds: Prostitution Is Now Rape in the U.K.?

The Frisky points us to a study that determined that Playboy Playmates get "older, heavier, and taller" in these, um, lean times.

Tom Jones spent the day busking for charity. Unfortunately, he would have raised more money by auctioning off a pair of tighty-whities.

Our hero of the day: a woman was robbed of the purse containing her green card. At the risk of great personal safety, she did what again?

A feisty Harlem woman turned the tables on three subway muggers, chasing down two of the thugs while snatching back her purse - because it had her green card in it, cops said yesterday.
As she continued to grab at the muggers, they decided they had enough. One of them begged Conde to let go of his accomplice.

"Leave him alone!" the thug cried out. "He's my friend!"

The gang gave up and ran away, leaving the purse on the ground. [NY Post]

Speaking of dumb robbers, this guy may be the dumbest ever: he robbed a convenience store, his stolen getaway vehicle broke down, and the taxi took him right back to where he started, where he was promptly arrested.

If you have sex with a prostitute who was human trafficked to the U.K., you could be charged with rape under a new law. Quite rightly: if a guy knows a hooker is being held against her will, he should do serious hard time. Didn't you guys ever see Lilya-4-Ever?

And as the world readies for the imminent release of Chinese Democracy, MTV looks back at Axl's finest hours.

Tom Jones stole Elvira's virginity! After a nude revue performance in Vegas (this story is too obvious to be true), the future Mistress of the Dark met her idol, Mr. Pussycat himself, who returned the compliment in the sack.

A man who got drunk for eight hours with his pregnant wife is in jail today on assault and domestic violence charges. The pregnant woman who participated in the binge and is dating this suave winner? She won't be charged at all, not even for child endangerment.

Amy Winehouse was involved in another barroom fist rampage. Yeah, another one.

Tatler has the perfect example of why photoshopping and overexposing (?) photographs on magazine covers is always a bad idea. Maggie Gyllenhaal... poor thing. She looked fifty times hotter when we saw her a few weeks ago... in person... in the morning... without makeup.

A thirteen-year-old girl and her caseworker are in trouble in Australia after the worker got her a prescription for the pill. The girl, meanwhile, has been living with her eighteen-year-old boyfriend.

And Samantha Ronson gave Lindsay Lohan a commitment ring. We're hoping it wasn't from the same machines that spit out the Homies.

Tom Jones Insures His Chest Hair for $7M

Tom Jones has insured his signature chest carpet for seven million dollars. We'd like to see this policy.. what, when it begins to fall out he starts getting payments? Does it go into his life insurance when he dies? Or not because your hair continues to grow after you die?
