Sheila Says: David Bowie Gets His First No. 1 Album In US

Only one week after David Bowie’s death and he reaches #1 on the US Charts with his new album Blackstar. He bumped Adele off the top spot and that gave him his first #1 album! The Best of Bowie is at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. That has  placed Bowie among a very select few artists’ who have simultaneously had two albums in the Top Four at one time.

Sheila Says: Rock Star Penguins At The Zoo

A little penguin was born January 8th at the Cincinnati zoo and keepers there decided to name it Bowie because it shares the same birthday of the late singer. All of this took place prior to David Bowie’s death Sunday. Keepers were also considering naming the bird Elvis because Elvis Presley’s birthday is also January 8th, but they already have a King Penguin named Elvis. Pretty soon they’ll be able to start a band with all those rock star penguins.

Sheila Says: Find Out What Day Priscilla Presley Would Want To Relive

Priscilla Presley recently revealed that if she could relive one memory, it would be the day she tied the knot with the King, Elvis Presley, despite the fact that she and Elvis divorced four years before his death. Priscilla said, “It wasn’t a fanfare. It was all arranged where it was very private & then we had our friends join us all in Memphis after that. It wasn’t like it is today where everyone has the biggest, the best, the most expensive wedding.” They did have a 6 tiered wedding cake!  They were married in Las Vegas in 1967.
