But she did dance well. I don't believe that crap that you have to be young to dance well. You can either dance or you can't, young, old whatever.

Priscilla was beautiful just the way she was. I don't understand why she felt she had to go under the knife to stay young looking and beautiful. It only makes you look older when you have that done. It does not make you look younger. She would have been beautiful as an older woman, you can't mess with perfection, but she did.

I think Pricilla will be fine and as for years she s ages very well and look at the other stars we look at her from the eyes of Elvis because he loved her so much and since we all love Elvis we can t help but admire her for she was his only true love.....She will do good...

I hope Elvis makes an appearance

PRISCILLA WAS MARRIED TO ELVIS BECAUSE " HE LOVED HER AND WAITED FOR HER "
REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG IT LASTED SHE IS WHO MADE HIM HAPPY
TO THIS DAY I BELIEVE SHE STILL LOVED HIM
HIS TRAVELING AND BEING AWAY FROM HOME TOOK A TOLL ON BOTH
SHE WAS 14 YEARS YOUNGER !

Priscilla Presley is an old wrinkley bag

How did Priscella Presley get into the rating of a celebrity? Because she was married FOR A MINUTE to Elvis??? Hmm, seems the honor comes easily.

WHAT happened to Priscilla's face?? She sure did get some bad plastic surgery.
Her mouth ...looks like the Joker's. She was once so beautiful and would have aged just as nice, but celebs rather have plastic surgery, even if it's bad.
They may look like monsters afterwards ....BUT they don't have a wrinkle!
Hollywood must be full of weird/monster looking people with all the plastic surgeries going on. The sad thing is, once you start ...you can't stop and as you age, you have to do maintenance or your skin/features could really look terrible.

This blog is about the new contestants. Not politics. Go somewhere else. Having vented, if the Clintons were to go on the show, I would not watch it and I've watched every season. Seems like they have their older man, woman, disabled, disheveled, clutzy looking so it's the usual assortment and I will be tuned in!

why on earth do these women think they need injections to get these big 'ol pouty lips! they look like they've been suckin' on a trailer hitch trying move their double wide out of the park. since hillary isn't going to the white house (hope, hope) maybe she and bill can show us a little two-step. he's already good at "two-timing"
