Unseen images of Elvis as new movie in his own words promises to be a showstopper

Incredible unseen archive footage of Elvis Presley is coming to UK screens next month and the lost images and footage from Vegas should send fans quiverin’

Tantalising viewers, a studded white flared trouser leg is seen ‘wigglin’ and quiverin.’ Then the unmistakable gospel-infused sound of Elvis fills the air.

In never-seen-before pictures, The King, dressed in his trademark Vegas white suit, pads towards the stage, accompanied by a huge entourage, to a commanding soundtrack of him singing the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic: “His truth is marching on.”

Incredible unseen archive footage of Elvis Presley’s seven year Las Vegas residency – beginning in 1969 – was uncovered by filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, together with rediscovered audio in which he talks about his life.

It will now feature in Luhrmann’s new film EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, to be released here next month.

Born Elvis Aaron Presley in Tulepo, Mississippi to Vernon and Gladys Presley, the surviving twin of two boys – his brother Jessie Garon having been tragically stillborn – the legendary singer would have turned 90 yesterday (January 8).

But the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – just 21 when he stormed to number one in the US and number two in the UK in 1956 with his single Heartbreak Hotel – succumbed to heart failure on August 16, 1977, aged 42, at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.

His star has never waned and the the lost images and footage from Vegas, together with previously unseen recordings of his 1972 North American tour, promise to lure fans to the cinema in their droves.

Describing the film as “an experience that is not just a documentary and not just a concert film”, director Luhrmann says this is his way of enabling Elvis to have the world tour he never managed in person – by taking the archive material to his fans around the globe.

“From the first day my editor, Jonathan Redmond, and I encountered this rare and never-before-seen footage of Elvis almost 8 years ago, it has been our mission that Elvis should finally fulfill his unrealised dream to tour around the world,” he says.

Elvis, whose first UK number one single in July 1957, All Shook Up, was followed by hit after hit, seldom toured, despite being one of the best-selling artists of all time. Instead, he focussed on releasing singles and movies, like Jailhouse Rock (1957), Blue Hawaii (1961) and Viva Las Vegas (1964) and, of course, on his Vegas residency, where sell-out shows drew 100,000 strong crowds.

It was during his residency that he debuted Suspicious Minds, often described as his showstopper, which ran for more than seven minutes and often earned him a standing ovation. Luhrmann is hoping that EPiC will be another showstopper – finally proving the rumours about unseen footage that have been circulating for 40 years – are true,

The material was finally found in a Warner Bros. vault situated in an underground salt mine in Kansas, where the treasure included a new video from Elvis’ famed 1957 ‘gold lamé jacket’ concert in Hawaii. But Luhrmann’s favourite finds were the “unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and music.”

Most of the unreleased footage was originally filmed for The King’s two early 1970s’ concert films – Elvis: That’s the Way It Is (1970) and Elvis on Tour (1972). Luhrmann and his team have spent the past two years restoring the video footage, which involved having to “claw back sound from the many, unconventional sources that were also unearthed.”

As Elvis says, snarling into the mic in the trailer: “There’s been a lot written and a lot said but never from my side of the story.” Now the new movie promises to change that.

Mar-a-Lago members ‘plotting to oust Netflix’s Members Only Palm Beach star’

Following the release of the Netflix show Members Only: Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago members are reportedly planning to band together to oust one of the show’s stars

Members of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club are said to be banding together to expel one of their own from the Palm Beach club after she appeared in the Netlfix series Members Only: Palm Beach.

The series follows several Florida socialites from both ‘new’ and ‘old’ money. Sometimes friends, sometimes enemies, often both, these socialites attend soirees, galas and charity events, all bidding to be rule Palm Beach. One such cast member of the new Netflix reality series is Rosalyn Yellin.

Mar-a-Lago, of which Rosalyn is a member, was mentioned a lot in the series, primarily as a the foremost place to gain access to if you want recognition and connections in Palm Beach. But Netflix were not allowed to film inside and other members are said to be planning to oust her after she appeared in the series.

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, some members were heard making plans to all sign a letter demanding her membership be revoked.

The members reportedly do not like the show and consider it “cheesy”. One Palm Beacher is said to have told Page Six that the cast members, who were fighting for the title of Queen of Palm Beach, were not actually well known in the area.

Another was said to take a swipe at the appearance of the cast, calling the show the “polar opposite of Palm Beach”. A third was said to tell the publication that the show was “very aggressive” and that the cast does not represent the area, saying “not one of them lives in Palm Beach”.

Roslyn features the club heavily on her Instagram and has posted a number of pics from there, including one of her with President Trump. She is also set to host a charity brunch there shortly.

Talking to Page Six, Rosalyn said: “I have been a member-in-good-standing at Mar-a-Lago for over four years and have spent that time focused on philanthropy and giving back through charity events held at the club.” She added that is was “disappointing” that the show was “mischaracterized in a way that distracts from the real work being done”.

The show, which was released on Netflix on 29 December, also features Hilary Musser, Taja Abitbol, Ro-mina Ustayev and Maria Cozamanis. During the show, Maria was seen in tears a fair amount and recently addressed why that was.

Sitting alongside Ro-mina, Maria started a Q&A session with: “So the first question that totally jumped out was ‘Maria why do you cry so much?’. Uh, because I can. Honestly, I think one thing that didn’t really come through when we filmed, like watching it back on TV, is that I was going through a lot at that point of my life and it just happened to be while we were filming.”

She continued: “I was doing a lot of therapy, just working through some stuff that I’d gone through with my mom and I was kind of hormonal at the time so I feel like it was a perfect storm and it just happened to be that I was crying a lot during those weeks of filming.”

Maura Higgins shares devious plan as she joins The Traitors

The Love Island star is taking part in the US version of the hit show – and she’s sent a chilling warning to her fellow players

Maura Higgins is hoping to kill everyone ‘one by one’ on the US version of The Traitors. The Love Island favourite – who found fame on the dating show back in 2019 – shared a clip from the new season, which launches today.

Sporting a latex catsuit, Maura says: “Well, I’m starting off wearing a cape. So… I’m hoping I’m a Traitor and I hope to kill everyone one by one.” She continues: “If someone comes for me at the round table, God love them. Sounds a bit traitor-y to me. I speak my mind. I’m not really a shadow kind of girl.”

Laughing, she adds: “That sounded really devious, didn’t it?”

Maura’s followers were delighted by the clip, with one saying the star was “made for this”. Another added: “Good luck – be it a faithful or a traitor – have a blast & watch your back.” A third chimed in: “Our Queen will run that castle.”

Maura’s appearance on the show comes following reports that she could be heading to Hollywood after the the premiere of her debut movie was met with heaps of praise.

The brunette plays Rose in feelgood film, The Spin. Sources told The Mirror that Maura’s performance was the talk of the screening – and exciting conversations have begun with big US execs about future roles.

“Everyone was talking about Maura and how great she was. She can act and people were impressed,” said the source. “There were a lot of important people from the film world in that room and conversations were taking place about what she does next.”

Irish comedy The Spin is about two music-loving but unlikely friends have two days to travel the length of Ireland to save their record store from closure. For one of them, not having a car is just one of the problems. It also stars Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.

Director Michael Head said Maura was a dream to work with – and has tipped her for success. “Maura was thrown in the deep end, but she was brilliant,’ he said. “She said she was playing herself but wasn’t. She was bringing elements of herself to the character. She didn’t have an ego and took direction well. I would work with her at the drop of a hat again.”

“With Maura, I know she’s been very busy. She’s gone off to America. She’s a brand ambassador, influencer, I know her schedule must be packed. But I think she’s got the potential to be a fantastic actress. My nan would say she’s got something about her. She’s got that Irish sharp wit. And obviously she’s stunningly beautiful. I wouldn’t be surprised if she popped up in a Hollywood blockbuster.”

After Love Island, Maura went on to appear on Dancing On Ice as well as host the Irish version of makeover show, Glow Up.

Katie Price reveals frightening health scare and brands herself ‘stick woman’

Katie Price has issued a health update after fears over health following dramatic weight loss that left her looking like a ‘stick woman’ pushed the star to see doctors

Katie Price has shared the health concerns that pushed her to consult doctors after fans were shocked by her worrying weight loss. The reality TV star branded herself a “stick woman” whilst discussing the results of a recent doctor’s appointment.

Speaking with her sister Sophie on her podcast, the former glamour model said their mother had become panicked when she saw how drastic Katie’s weight loss had been. Amy Price reportedly begged her daughter to get medical help. Sophie, who is 11 years younger than her big sister, shared that she wasn’t sure Katie had booked the appointment but the 47 year old assured her that she had.

“All I’ve had, since everywhere has been closed, is, ‘Have you phoned the doctors yet? Have you phoned?’” Katie said on The Katie Price Show. “I’m like, ‘Yes, mum. I went to the doctors today.’ I screenshotted the appointment.”

Sophie said their mother, Amy, had been asking her about it and asked her sister if she’d really booked the appointment. “Yes. I’m going in there to talk about blood tests, MRI, everything she wants me to have to get to the bottom of why the Price is – forget stick man – stick woman,” Katie answered.

She then said that doctors were concerned during a recent appointment as her blood pressure was low. Katie said the test was done three times, with doctors saying: “It can’t be that low.”

Katie previously sought medical help in October 2025, informing fans via a selfie. The caption underneath read: “First day off and straight to the doctors to find out what’s happened to my weight.” At the time, she was travelling cross country for a tour with her pal Kerry Katona.

Katie added that she had to book another appointment as they couldn’t get enough blood from her for the tests, only managing to fill two vials.

The recent admissions about her weight come shortly after Katie’s family were said to be engaging in “honest” conversations about her well-being. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: “They do share their concerns with Kate and have open, honest conversations with her about how she’s feeling – including her mental health and her weight loss.

“Those conversations come from a place of love, care and support, and they remain private within the family. What people too often forget is just how much Kate has been through and how much she has already overcome. Her well-being is, and always will be, the priority, and it’s something she is actively working on.”

Ricky Gervais reveals plans for next stand-up tour including title to annoy his critics

Comedian Ricky Gervais will go down as a legend one way or another.

Cheeky Ricky Gervais has revealed he is set to call his next stand up show ‘Legend’ – so people have to call him that in the future whatever happens. The announcement comes off the back of his previous show Mortality touring globally and reaching number one on Netflix after its release on December 30 with millions streaming it.

The Office creator Gervais, 64, said: “I’m starting warm-ups already. Just in case it’s my last tour, I want to call it Legend. It’s like I’m forcing their obituary, ‘he was known as legend’, no, he said that! I think the idea will be that it’s about me but obviously I’m going to fall on my face. I think it’s a funny thing to say about yourself.”

The last tour Mortality , saw him play over 80 arena shows across the globe throughout 2024-2025, taking in LA’s Hollywood Bowl, NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, a 14 night run at the London Palladium, 3 massive shows at OVO Wembley Arena, and sell outs in Europe’s capital cities, breaking the box office record for English speaking comedy shows in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland & the Czech Republic. Afterwards he donated £2.5million to charities from extra profits made by the Platinum Ticket sales.

Speaking to Romesh Ranganathan on his podcast, Gervais added: “Stand-up is the thing I love the most, it’s the thing I love being the biggest part of my career now. When I started out I was a writer and director, I wanted to let people know that was the real deal.

“I didn’t want to be a celebrity, I didn’t want to do the red carpet, I didn’t want to be in stuff I hadn’t written. I tried to convince the world and myself that was my job.

“I did that and then stand up was, ‘oh I like that, let’s have a go’. I think with Humanity it turned around. I thought, ‘no I’m a stand up who occasionally writes and directs stuff’. I love this, I travel the world and it feels like the last bastion of free speech.

“Outside of the novel, it’s the only thing where there’s no filter, you don’t need 60 people to create your vision, it’s you and I love that.”

Gervais is nominated at this weekend’s Golden Globes in the best stand-up category. But speaking last week he said he was unlikely to attend.

During the appearance on BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life, Gervais – who has hosted the Golden Globes five times – said: “I didn’t have any joy watching my fat face on screen. I just want peace and quiet.

“I’m probably not going to the Golden Globes … It’s too far to go. It takes a lot to get me off the couch with my cat and my girlfriend watching Netflix. I love the work, I love writing, I love creating, I love stand-up, but all the other stuff I could really do without.”

As well as The Office he has other hit shows including After Life on Netflix and Extras and Derek but in recent years has tended to concentrate on his stand up comedy.
