Country star Tanya Tucker is to take Elvis Presley's backing singers on the road with her this Christmas. The singer will unite with The Imperials for four December shows, which are being produced by Elvis' former orchestra leader Joe Guercio.

The concerts, billed as "A Tanya Tucker Family Christmas," will include performances by the singer's two daughters and her niece.

Tia Carrere is all smiles again after spending three nights in a hotel praying that her fire-scorched home wouldn't be destroyed. The actress was one of many stars evacuated from their homes as wildfires spread throughout southern California earlier this week.
