Even though Chelvis turned down a chance to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremonies in Beijing (he had a scheduled teeth cleaning that he couldn’t miss), he graciously accepted an offer to be the star of the closing ceremonies. As the “Main Flame”, he was one of 2000 human flames forming the Olympic torch in a dazzling display. But even though the flame moved as one, most eyes were fixed on Chelvis who amongst the sea of bodies had the pronounced hip wiggle and was easily picked out of the crowd.
Below is a picture of his rise to Olympic history and the throngs of adoring fans that surrounded him at the media day.
China has made their own brand of the Wiggles, the popular Australian kid’s group. Dubbed, The Chiggles, these Chinese Wiggles were getting ready to kick off their international tour.
But a freak wok fire accident wounded Peter Woo, the original Blue Chiggle and they were forced to delay the launch of their tour until they found a replacement.
Chelvis to the rescue! The King of Wok and Roll has graciously offered to step in for the injured Chiggle but not before some of his demands were met. He is the King after all.
Chelvis demanded to be the “Yellow” one so Jimmy Chang, the original Yellow Chiggle moved over to the Blue spot. In addition, Chelvis has demanded to combine the popular “Fruit Salad” and “Wags The Dog” song. The new song, sung solo by Chelvis is now called, “Wags the Dog, Yummy Yummy”
Look out for Chelvis and the other Chiggles in a laundromat near you.
Chelvis played a free concert for the Chinese Restaurant Association for MSG Prevention (CRAMP) today in the back alley of Master Wong’s Imperial Buffet in Camden, New Jersey. Chelvis played to a raucous audience of about 3 and played a one hour set covering such classics like “Shake, Rattle, and Egg Roll”, “Panda Bear”, and “Al Yew Can Eat”.
But the real mayhem started when Chelvis busted into his new, hit single: “Want Some Dim Sum Tonight” sung to the tune of Elvis Presley’s famous song, “Are You Lonesome Tonight.”
Chelvis is showing he’s a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. While touring the south with his Chinatown Posse in what has been now referred to as the “Great Rickshaw Caravan”, Chelvis took the time at a local Fresh Corn roadside stand to play a few ditties. Among his 3 song set: a rousing rendition of “Hands Across America”
Boy, it is tough being a celebrity. Chelvis was nabbed by the paparazzi while on vacation. Wearing his vintage smoking jacket, Chelvis sported a great case of bed head before indulging on a stack of pancakes and a pound of bacon.
Chelvis was a celebrity net judge at the 45th Table Tennis World Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He was also greeted with a raucus applause for his singing and signing of the Netherlands’ national anthem. He signed the anthem in respect for Li Zen Wong, the deaf world champion.
Chelvis has been honored with his very own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. His star is of course in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Chelvis, a fan favorite was honored as an actor because the committee could not feel they could honor him for his subpar singing career.

On February 12th, Chelvis will join the ranks of Madonna and Janet Jackson with a 2 hour concert performance broadcasted exclusively by HBO. This performance was shot in San Francisco late last year. No word yet on a DVD release. Chelvis’ setlist includes all his hits as well as a rare cover of Carl Douglas’ 1974 hit “Kung Fu Fighting.”
Chelvis appeared on the Fox animated television show, The Simpsons. Playing himself, Chelvis draws the lust of the women of Springfield as well as the admiration of Homer by giving a benefit concert to save the local donut shop.
Chelvis recently appeared on ABC’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Although he had a fairly simple “Fastest Finger” question, he did not make it to the hotseat. The questions was “Put these items in a Pu Pu Platter in order from smallest to largest.” Because of his stumpy fingers, he was not the fastest response.
Chelvis made an appearance with his favorite talk show host Rosie O’Donnell. Unfortunately he had a vicious bout with a stomach flu that day. This picture captures the agony that he went through during the taping.
Chelvis’ episode of Behind the Music finally aired on VH1. After months of legal battles, the court finally sided with Chelvis and ordered VH1 to broadcast the episode. Judge Scott Eiseman released this statement to the press, “…although Chelvis’ voice is subpar, and his reputation less than desirable, I feel that this show is important to the American people and it should be broadcasted as a warning to troubled teens across the country as to what self-mockery could do for one’s self-esteem.”
Chelvis was interviewed for the Barbara Walters Special. She asked him the tough questions and he responded with such poise that for a moment she thought he was a jungle cat. They both had a nice chuckle and the interview continued.
Chelvis was seen mixing it up with the other celebrities as he entered the First Annual Chinese Elvis Impersonator Awards. But he did have time to give a shout out to his fans as seen in this candid picture taken right before the ceremony.
