The Nation's Favourite

Sony Music released "The Nation's Favourite Elvis Songs" single and double CD sets. The Nation's Favourite... is a British documentary series, celebrating music by a particular artist. Since the show began in 2010 it has been narrated by various TV stars including Liza Tarbuck, Fearne Cotton, Amanda Holden and Kate 
Thornton. 

The Elvis show will broadcast at the English TV station ITV on November 8, 2013, with guest appearances including Michael BublĂ©, Cliff Richard and Darlene Love who all talk about their favorite picks. Priscilla Presley reminisces on 
each song, what they meant to Elvis and how he touched the world with his music. The songs were chosen by voting in various British newspapers.

Burger... King 
 
The home of The King .. could become the home of the Whopper ... The news team of TMZ has learned that BK has made a serious offer on Elvis Presley's former Beverly Hills home. TMZ obtained a letter from Burger King Corp. to Peter Morton -- who owns the 5,367 square foot Elvis Presley Estate in the 90210 -- which states the company's intention to buy the house for a cool $3.69 million. The letter reads, "This would be a fast closing within three days and we would be happy to provide you with proof of funds upon request."

BK says if Morton agrees to the sale, the company will "preserve all residential historical value." Buuuut, there are a few problems -- first, the house isn't really on the market. 

Second, Morton bought the house back in December for $9.8 mil ... and there's virtually no chance he's willing to take a $6 million hit on the place. Sidenote -- the timing of the offer is interesting, 'cause it happens to coincide with the launch of BK's new sandwich, the Big King (Big King ... King of Rock 'n Roll ... we get it).
