Running Scared

Some great characters dressed as Elvis turned up at the Vegas Marathon.

Return To Slender?

Priscilla Presley and daughter Lisa Marie shocked onlookers at the Lunchbox Art Function in New York last night when they turned up looking as if they were on their way to a Hallowe'en party.

Priscilla, 62, showed off her botched highlights while Lisa Marie, 39, seemed to have deliberately back-combed her blonde locks into a scarecrow look
