Hunk a Hunk a Burnin' Love

NEW YORK - Irish actor Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, who played the soccer coach in 2002's "Bend It Like Beckham," will star as Elvis Presley in a four-hour miniseries to air on CBS.

The fact-based drama will also star Camryn Manheim ("The Practice") as Presley's mother, Gladys, and Randy Quaid ("LBJ: The Early Years") as his manager, Col. Tom Parker, the network said Tuesday.

Rose McGowan ("Charmed") will play Ann-Margret, the actress who co-starred with Presley in the 1964 film "Viva Las Vegas."

The miniseries, titled "Elvis," is being made with the cooperation and participation of the Elvis Presley estate and will include actual master recordings of Presley's most famous hits.

A little Rose on Jonathan action will probably not hurt the numbers.

I give you a bod like that to ogle and all you have to comment on is the definition of mini-series?

Why the hell would we want to ogle a picture of Rose with her back thrown out of whack? She looks like she's in some distress.
