It Was Thirty Years Ago Today...

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley - an event that, as this story shows, is likely to be marked by thousands of fans holding nighttime vigils in memory of the pill-popping, junk-food-devouring, one-time teen-idol.
It's doubtful that the FBI will care, though. As my Celebrity Secrets book demonstrates, the previously-secret, 600-page FBI file on Presley reveals that he was viewed with distinctly disapproving eyes by the G-Men in Black.

Marilyn: A New Book Examines Her Death

Check out this link for an article concerning a forthcoming book that examines the still-controversial death of Hollywood bombshell, Marilyn Monroe.

Celebrity Secrets includes a chapter on the FBI's surveillance files on the actress; and a strange and bizarre story it is, too.

Jack Kerouac and "On the Road" - 50 Years On

Has it really been 50 years since Jack Kerouac's acclaimed On the Road was published? Yes, it has!

And as this story demonstrates, fans of the renowned and influential writer are already celebrating this anniversary milestone in his life and career.

For those who want to know more about Kerouac's brief period of time spent in the Navy - as well as learning all about what the Navy's formerly classified medical files on the man himself revealed - check out my Celebrity Secrets book for the full details.

I still think that Big Sur is his best one though.

Elvis, the FBI and Wikipedia

The story behind some of the FBI files that appear in my Celebrity Secrets book on singer Elvis Presley can now be found at Wikipedia. As you'll see, the tale is a strange, convoluted and highly-intriguing one...

Here's the link.

Marilyn - Happy Late Birthday...

Had she not died in 1962 at the hands of herself, or the FBI, or the CIA, or the Mafia or...well, the list goes on, Marilyn Monroe would have been 81 last Friday. Unbelievable!

Monroe might very well have taken to the grave with her an untold number of official secrets told to her by the Kennedy brothers.

However, a number of interesting tales of a sexual, conspiratorial and dark nature can be found in the blond bombshell's FBI file, which is reproduced in Celebrity Secrets - including tales of a secret film showing Marilyn giving some lucky fellow a blow-job; official interest in her marriage to lefty playwright Arthur Miller; phone-taps; Mexican commies; wild parties; and much more.

Still, at least she burned out when she still looked good and didn't end up as a wrinkled old trout.
