Today?

The funny thing is, I didn't even look for something like this until you mentioned it. :D

well, its about lindsay lohan, not marilyn monroe. i think its pretty rare to hear about marilyin monroe, elvis, or whatever in the news. and i mean the actual people, not people posing as them.
Well, Marilyn is mentioned directly 7 times in the article and referred to indirectly a few more times. The whole article is about how someone in this current age is posing as, being compared to, and relating her connection with Marilyn Monroe. I'd say this qualifies as news related to Marilyn Monroe.

What did you expect, an update of her rotted corpse? Tales from the crypt? :D

eh, you're stretching it. :p Elvis could sing.

Am not, Elvis's boobs were a LOT bigger, and how do you know that Diana couldn't sing?

She was scheduled to do a duet with Elton John to make Candle in the Wind. That's why he dedicated that song to her after she died.
