Marie Osmond may not have become the breakout star of Dancing with the Stars’ fifth season, but she successfully establishes herself as one of the most popular contestants in the last season of the show. In fact, because of her comeback into the limelight, many are speculating about her next career move, and what direction she would take next.

Recently, Marie Osmond made a surprise appearance at the National Association of Television Program Executives conference in Las Vegas , where she also announced that she’ll be returning to TV as the host of a daytime talk show. Although many expect her to launch her next move now, as to take advantage of her previous success in season 5 of Dancing with the Stars, her new talk show called Marie won’t be launched until Fall of 2009.

However, fans must be warned: she won’t be focusing on sensational topics. In fact, Osmond said, “It will be a real feel-good show. I’ve been through a lot of things in life and have no problem talking about it. Women need a safe place where they can laugh, feel good and relate to (other women).”

Although the show will tackle more positive topics, Osmond assures that it won’t shy away from those difficult subjects of discussion. She adds that she intends to draw from her own experience as a divorced working mother of eight kids, her postpartum depression, adoption, and other personal topics.

“I see a lot of women and I’m a single mom, we all kind of gone through all the stuff, the gamut,” Osmond said. “And I don’t have a bazillion nannies. I have eight kids. I do it myself. But there are a lot of women out there in the same boat. And I really believe there is a destination for hope and happiness. Not just day-to-day stuff, but just real fun, real things women can relate to.”

Moreover, the Dancing with the Stars 5 contestant is keeping a positive outlook in her life these days. She confirms, “I feel so blessed to still be here. I mean, truly. I’m one of these strange women that has had a 40-year career.”

Elvis Presley wasn’t just loved by his fans. He wasn’t just The King on stage; he was also a man with a family. His life was a classic rags-to-riches story; but as money accumulated, it seemed that he and his family were yet again on a sudden spiraling descent, only this time it was more on the emotional than financial side.

Good or bad, there was no denying that Elvis was and still is among the most famous men who ever lived. And the only way to understand his ways is to take a peak at the various chapters of his family life.

Early Family Life

Elvis’ family came from a long line of German, French, Scottish and Cherokee descent. Vernon Presley, his father, was a sharecropper and a truck driver who hailed from Fulton, Mississippi. Gladys Love Smith, his mother, was a sewing machine operator who came from Pontotoc County, in Mississippi. Elvis’ family started when his parents married on June 17, 1933.

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. He had a twin named Jesse Garon who was stillborn. Having only one child, Elvis’ family lived just a little over the poverty line. The family attended a church called Assembly of God located in East Tupelo.

Although Elvis’ family wasn’t considered dirt poor, it is said that they lost their home when they weren’t able to pay the money they borrowed to build it. The eviction came at a time when his father was serving a prison sentence due to forgery of a check for only $8. The sentence was for eight months; even so, this incident left a big mark on the Elvis’ family.

Elvis’ Family At Graceland

At the age of 13, Elvis’ family moved to Memphis. It was in the latter part of the 1940’s but life here wasn’t much different from when they were in Mississippi. They lived in a public housing unit.

Only when Elvis’ career surged, which wouldn’t happen for yet another nine years, did the family start to live comfortably. At age 22, Elvis had acquired enough money to buy a mansion from a doctor for $100,000.

Married Life

In May 1967, Elvis married Priscilla Ann Beaulieu in Las Vegas, Nevada. They had a daughter, Lisa Marie, who was born in 1968. The couple separated on February of 1972 and they shared custody of little Lisa. Eventually in 1973, Elvis and Priscilla were granted a divorce.

Tiger Woods will appear on the sofa of talk show queen Oprah Winfrey after his scandal? Will he be with Elin Nordegren, the wife on whom he cheated, by his side?

The Oprah strategy is under discussion in Camp Tiger as a series of tawdry new claims emerge about Woods’ alleged infidelities after he admitted unspecified ”transgressions” and ‘’sins” last week.

In the most recent, it emerged over the weekend that an unnamed waitress at a ”VIP cocktail bar” in Orlando has hired a lawyer as she prepares to go public with claims of an alleged two-year affair that began in 2004 when she was 20, according to celebrity news website TMZ.

There were also reports of several other alleged affairs in the US and one some years ago in London, purported to have been with an unmarried television newsreader.

Over the previous few days, he had been linked in a string of reports to Rachel Uchitel, a New York party planner, Jaimee Grubbs, a Los Angeles cocktail waitress, and Kalika Moquin, a Las Vegas club marketing manager.

A financial deal was reportedly under way to secure the silence of Ms Uchitel, whose sexual encounters with Woods were allegedly fuelled by a prescription sleeping drug, Ambien (which is said to enhance sex in the minutes after it is taken), according to her friends quoted on website radaronline.

Meanwhile, Ms Grubbs said she had racy texts and voice messages to prove she had had a 31-month affair with Woods.

The latest claims come as lawyers for Woods and Ms Nordegren negotiate an upgrade of the ”prenuptial” agreement signed before their Barbados wedding in 2004.

While it is usually divorce that hits the famous hard in their wallets, Woods will have to dig deep just to keep the mother of his two young children married to him.

Ms Nordegren will receive an immediate $US5 million ($A5.46 million), with staggered payments worth up to an additional $US55 million if she stays with her husband for another two years, a lawyer familiar with the negotiations told The Daily Beast website.
