Many people have confessed to being Elvis fans, but who would have thought that the yellow Wiggle would be one of the biggest collectors of memorabilia, owning enough to open his own Elvis museum?

Greg Page, the original Yellow Wiggle who left the group in 2006 due to illness, has a huge collection of over 200 items of the King’s goods, including Priscilla and Elvis’ marriage certificate.

“It’s been my dream to set up an Elvis museum somewhere so that people can experience what I experienced when I went to Gracelands for the first time,” Page told SiT.

When Anthony Field, the blue Wiggle, took the group through Elvis’s home a decade ago, Page was struck by the King’s rise from dirt-poor upbringing to global fame. “That opened my eyes to the story of Elvis,” he said. “It was so much more than just the movies and the singles and the performances. There was a man behind the legend.”

Page started the collection with a cheque that Elvis wrote for a bodyguard for a 1975 tour. He also has an ever-stylish gold lame jumpsuit, original blueprints for Gracelands, Elvis’s last karate certificate, some of his favourite jewellery and clothing he wore in the movies Jailhouse Rock, Kissin’ Cousins and King Creole.

Page also owns a beige suit, and the original contract Elvis signed with Colonel Tom Parker, as well as other items.

The only item he is not giving to the museum is the Cadillac Elvis was photographed driving two days before his death, which I think is this one. He doesn’t drive it for fear of crashing.

He has also recorded his solo album with Elvis’ backing group, the TCB band.

My kids are big fans of the Wiggles, and debates in mother’s group can often turn to fisticuffs over which Wiggle is the cutest. Which is obviously Anthony the blue Wiggle. The Wiggles have a legion of celebrity fans of their own, Robert DeNiro, Jerry Seinfeld, and John Travolta have all been to concerts, so maybe one day a celebrity Wiggles fan will set up their own museum dedicated to Greg and his turtlenecked friends.

Elvis Presley may have a half-sister. According to reports his father had a love child, born to Florence Juanita Sharp, who then gave her daughter up for adoption to a Texas family. The woman, who goes by the name of Eliza Alice Presley (likely to be an assumed name, I doubt her adopted parents named her after her sire) is hoping for a financial settlement from Elvis’ fathers’ estate.

Her representative, Donald Yates, reveals DNA tests carried out in Arizona match the genetic make-up of Elvis’ cousin Donna.

He tells America’s Globe, “I’m 99.99 per cent sure that Eliza Presley and Elvis Aaron Presley are half siblings.”

As well as the scientific proof, Yates reveals his client has “sworn testimony from family members… relating to who her biological father is.”

Eliza Alice Presley has filed papers in Memphis, Tennessee, claiming she’s entitled to be “recognised as his daughter and allowed to inherit her statutory share of his estate”

I’m disgusted by this. Ms Presley makes no appeal to meet her family (she is a half-aunt to Elvis’ children, a sister-in-law to Priscilla) and has never met her brother. Wouldn’t she like to meet his family and get to know more about her late brother? Nope, she’d just like the cash please.

I’m not sure how much she would be entitled to, but I’m guessing it won’t be much. If she gets anything at all it will be more than she deserves. I’m not sure how much Vernon Presley has left, but I’m guessing she’s hoping for a cut of the Elvis estate.

According to Wikipedia, Vernon Presley was a ‘malingerer’, and the family lived just above the poverty line.

In an unrelated Elvis story, hackers have created an ePassport for him and passed through airport security with it, despite the fact that the passport was for an American, but was in a European cover.
