Priscilla Presley is an American actress, businesswoman, and widow of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley. Born on May 24, 1945, in Brooklyn, New York, she grew up in various cities due to her father's job as an Air Force officer. At the age of 14, she met Elvis Presley while living in Germany and became romantically involved with him when he was 24. They married in 1967 and welcomed their daughter Lisa Marie Presley the following year. Priscilla was known for her effortless beauty, and her fashion choices paved the way for many women during the 1960s and 70s. After Elvis's death in 1977, she dedicated herself to preserving his legacy and managed his estate for many years. In addition to her work with Elvis's estate, Priscilla has had an accomplished acting career. She appeared in numerous films and television shows, including "The Naked Gun" series, "Dallas," and "Melrose Place." She also starred in her own reality series, "Priscilla's American Dreams," which followed her as she mentored young performers. Priscilla is an advocate for various causes, including animal rights and child welfare, and has received numerous awards for her philanthropic efforts. She remains an icon of the entertainment industry and a beloved figure in Elvis Presley's legacy.

The life, advice, and many marriages of a ninety-something Tasmanian domestic goddess, the real-life humor inspiration for television's Dame Edna Marjorie Bligh is the ninety-five-year-old Martha Stewart you didn't know you were missing. Does your goldfish have constipation? Feed it Epsom salts. Have you run out of blush? Cut a beet in half and slap it on your cheeks. Are there possums in your ceiling? Housewife Superstar will tell you how to get them out. Famous for never wasting a thing, Marjorie crochets her bedspreads from plastic bags and used panty hose, and protects the plants in her garden with bras. In 1958, upon entering the food and craft contests at her town show, she won in seventy-eight categories; the next year she won in seventy-two but was denied the trophy by jealous rivals. Once divorced and twice widowed, Marjorie is, according to her colossal fan Barry Humphries (of TV comedy Dame Edna fame), "no slouch in the matrimonial department." Her first husband, Cliff, was loving but turned brutal. Her second marriage, to preacher and schoolteacher Adrian, was punctuated by endless love notes, breakfasts in bed, and territorial fights with his adult daughters. She snagged her third husband, Eric—a bus driver—with promises of fruitcake and flirtatious glances in his rearview mirror. Marjorie designed two homes and a museum devoted to her creations, worked for half a century as a journalist and columnist, and raised two sons, all while building a devoted following. Danielle Wood's Housewife Superstar is an illuminating look at a treasure.

When Shane, Kian, Mark, Nicky and Bryan celebrated the beginning of 2001 in true Irish style, they had no idea of the adventures that lay ahead. Eddie Rowley, co-author of Ronan Keating's bestselling autobiography Life is A Rollercoaster, followed Westlife on their biggest ever world tour. From Dublin where they attempted their first dance routine ('look lads, no stools') via Wembley to the Far East, it was a mad whirl of hotels, screaming girls, late night parties and McDonald's hamburgers. It was their most expensive tour ever, and certainly the most exhausting! Along the way we witness the ups and downs of the boys' lives in the sometimes dangerous, sometimes lonely goldfish-bowl world of pop. And through it all we get to see in unprecedented detail the true personalities that make up the phenomenon that is Westlife. A rip-roaring read and the most penetrating look yet at the UK's most successful boy band- ever.
