There's no stopping ELVIS PRESLEY, even when he's dead. Twenty-five years after his demise, a song Elvis released in 1968 is set to hit No. 1 in the U.K. this week. A Little Less Conversation has been remixed by JXL, a Dutch DJ, who added a techno beat while leaving Presley's voice untouched. Though other performers have had posthumous hits, this one has particular significance, since it ends the long-running deadlock between Presley and the Beatles in the Guinness Book of World Records for most No. 1 hits in England. Now Presley moves ahead...

Lilo & Stitch could bring good news to Disney and its Old Guard animators. It's a bright, engaging bauble with half a dozen Elvis Presley songs for Mom and Dad, and just enough sass--Stitch sticks his tongue into his nose and eats his snot--to keep the tweeners giggling. Lilo (voiced by Daveigh Chase) gives the usual lonely-but-superior Disney heroine a twist: she is a brat who has anger issues.

...middle of the store sits a cardboard box filled with oversize, bug-eyed sunglasses, straight from the ’70s. On shelves lining the walls are arrayed Marilyn Monroe lunchboxes and statuettes of Elvis Presley standing next to a Harley Davidson motorbike. Behind the counter, a shelf holds fancy hairbrushes, combs and perfumes that can usually be found only in Europe...

...trying instead to reinvent soccer. Scorpion Knockout is the futuristic, pared-down game played by 24 stars like Thierry Henry, Luis Figo and Fredrik Ljungberg in an expensive - reportedly $14.5 million - three-minute commercial that has been airing since April. In the ad, to a thumping remix of Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation (A Little More Action), soccer's leading mercenaries compete in a secret tournament under special rules. In it, soccer becomes a game of trick shots, small goals and fancy footwork - oddly like basketball (which, despite Nike's $155 million spend this year on soccer endorsements...
