...British twentysomethings who have belted out 10 Top 10 pop hits in Britain and made four TV series. Next came a youth offshoot, S Club Juniors. Naturally, Fuller is planning to create the American Juniors--or the AJs--five U.S. kids ages 8 to 14 whom he will find, groom and turn into a band. The concept might be launched with a song-filled movie about kids at a performing-arts academy--"a cross between Fame and Grease," Fuller says...

The groom, a fan of Elvis memorabilia, got to add the King's daughter to his collection...

The Rank theater chain canceled his bookings, he returned to the U.S. to find the reception no kinder, and the bride and groom found themselves the Monica-and-Bill of the '50s. Top-40 radio stations exiled Jerry Lee's music, and Sun Records issued his next single, "Lewis Boogie," as the B side of a derisive novelty number called "The Return of Jerry Lee," which intercut snippets of his records with...
