With the opening of “Elvis,” Aussie director Baz Luhrmann’s opulent and operatic retelling of the life of Elvis Presley, the late King of Rock ‘n’ Roll returns to Hollywood, where his first local stage performance took place 65 years this October, in the form of a grandly ambitious biopic. It’s a movie that “prints the myth” on at least one key count … but so did Variety, back in the day.
If you watch closely, you’ll catch a reference to Elvis’ purported trouble with at least one local police department, supposedly vigilantly monitoring EP’s provocative stage moves in case the King’s 1957 gyrations proved “too much,” as deemed by the self-appointed arbiters of decency and militant opponents of juvenile delinquency.
“L A. Police Order Presley ‘Clean Up’ His Pan-Pac Show” screamed the Variety headline on October 30, 1957, the day after the second of two shows. The prose gets more purple from there.

Elizabeth mentioned her concerns to their pediatrician during Noah's next visit, and when the doctor shined a penlight in his eyes, she saw a similar white light reflected. The doctor then sent the Shaws to an ophthalmologist who confirmed the devastating news that same afternoon: Noah had tumors in both eyes.

After a week off, Entourage was back last night with "Buzzed." Big things are happening for Ari and the NFL, nothing is happening for Drama and his search for a TV show, and we begin to see how the crash in the season premiere is effecting Vince. Let's get right to it.
“Buzzed” begins with E, Turtle, and Drama finishing breakfast in a restaurant and debating over how to pay the check. Drama refuses to split it evenly because Turtle ate his home fries, so Turtle offers to pay with his company card. However, the waitress comes back and tells Turtle his card was rejected, even though he says he never uses it. E calls Vince to tell him about the Ferrari junket for his latest film, and Vince says he’ll be there but wants to get his hair cut first.
