Elvis Presley is well known as the King of Rock and Roll. The story of Elvis Presley’s rise to fame and his untimely death but how much do people actually know about the man himself and not the legend that surrounds his lifetime? Elvis Presley trivia will surely include questions about his music and movies but what else would it include?

An easy question for a true fan taking an Elvis Presley quiz would be where he was born. The answer is Tupelo, Mississippi. He was born on the eight of January in 1935. What did Elvis say when he first entered Sun studios? “I don’t sing like nobody.” The name of the first song Elvis ever recorded is also a question that will probably come up on a quiz about Elvis Presley. The answers are “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” and “My Happiness,” Elvis paid a four dollar fee to record himself singing them and playing the guitar as his accompaniment.

Facts about Elvis’s early days have to put in a quiz about him. A question that is easy for most to answer is what the name of Elvis Presley’s mother was. The answer is Gladys Love Presley he also had a brother that died at birth which is something few people realize, his name was Jesse Garon. Elvis was raised in Tupelo until the age of thirteen when the family made the move to Memphis, Tennessee. The reason for the move is something that could be included in Elvis Presley trivia. The answer is to avoid the law because Vernon Presley (his father) was involved in bootleg liquor.

Female fans of Elvis Presley know too well that his wife was named Priscilla. How old was Priscilla when she met Elvis Presley and where did they meet? Elvis first met future wife Priscilla during the time he was stationed in Germany, she was only fourteen years old. Priscilla Ann Beaulieu Presley (born Pricilla Ann Wagner) was born on the 24^th of May, 1945. This will be useful if someone asks you when the birthday of Elvis Presley’s ex-wife is.

Another question that might come up in trivia about Elvis Presley is where he is currently buried. The answer is Graceland; the body was moved from the Forest Hills Cemetery in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee during November of 1977 at his father’s request. What Lisa Marie had put in her father’s casket is another question that might come up. The answer is a thin metal bracelet. With all we think we know about Elvis Presley taking a quiz about him could reveal that we don’t know as much as we think we do.

Controversial actor Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg turns 38 years old on June 5, 2009.  The actor also known as “Marky Mark” or “Monk D” was born in Boston, Massachusetts and became famous in his 1991 debut as a rap musician with the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

Born in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, he is the youngest of nine children, with siblings Arthur, Jim, Paul, Robert, Tracey, Michelle, Debbie (died in 2003 at age 44), and Donnie.  His mother, Alma Elaine (née McPeck), was a bank clerk and nurse’s aide, and his father, Donald E.
Wahlberg, was a Teamster who worked as a delivery driver; the two divorced in 1982.  Wahlberg had a Catholic upbringing and attended Copley Square High School (but never graduated) on Newbury Street in Copley Square in Boston. The campus now houses Muriel Snowden International School.

As a teenager, Wahlberg was implicated in several acts of violence and vandalism. At fifteen, he was amongst a group who threw rocks at a group of African American school children on a field trip while shouting racial epithets; the rocks hit their targets and caused several injuries. The following year,
Wahlberg robbed a pharmacy while he was under the influence of PCP. During the commission of the crime, he again used racial epithets. He knocked one middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious and permanently blinded another in one eye before he was arrested by the police.  People used to fear Mark Wahlberg.

But Mark Wahlberg’s movies and life are that of a turnaround story.  Nowadays, mark is actively involved in charity and established the “Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation” in May 2001 for the purpose of raising and distributing funds to youth service and enrichment programs.  Wahlberg is a also a practicing Roman
Catholic.

Who is this super-woman?  A beauty, an actress, a mother of six children (inluding three adopted), a Goddess in the eyes of many, a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, a three-time Golden Globe Winner, two-time Screen Actors Guild Awards Winner, Academy Award Winner?  All of the above!  And all this at the still tender age of just thirty four.

Born in Los Angeles, California on June 4, 1975, Angelina Jolie has become more than an icon.  The “Queen of All Media” tops 2009’s “Celebrity Top 100″ list published by Forbes Magazine every year.

Today, Jolie is one of the best known celebrities around the world. According to the Q Score, in 2000, subsequent to her Oscar win, 31% of respondents in the United States said Jolie was familiar to them, by 2006 she was familiar to 81% of Americans. In a 2006 global industry survey by ACNielsen in 42 international markets Jolie, together with Brad Pitt, was found to be the favorite celebrity
endorser for brands and products worldwide. Jolie was among the Time 100, a list of the 100 most influential people in the world, in 2006 and 2008.  She was described as the world’s most beautiful woman in the 2006 “100 Most Beautiful” issue of People, and she was voted the greatest sex symbol of all time in the British Channel 4 television show The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols in 2007.

Starting in 2005, her relationship with Brad Pitt became one of the most reported celebrity stories worldwide. After Jolie confirmed her pregnancy in early 2006, the unprecedented media hype surrounding them “reached the point of insanity” as Reuters described it in their story “The Brangelina fever”. Trying to avoid the media attention, the couple went to Namibia for the birth of Shiloh, “the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ”, as it had been described. Two years later, Jolie’s second pregnancy again fueled a media frenzy. For the two weeks she spent in a seaside hospital in Nice, reporters and photographers camped outside on the promenade to report on the birth.

There have been recent rumors of a break up between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but the couple has consistently denied those rumors.
