WEIRD CELEBRITY CONNECTIONS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Wireless Flash) -- A lounge performer in Anchorage, Alaska, has something that puts that Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game to shame. The performer -- who calls himself "Mr. Whitekeys" -- believes everyone has had at least one celebrity connection and he chronicles some in a new book, "Elvis Presley's Pharmacist Was My Sunday School Teacher" (Graphic Arts Center). There's a man whose only connection to Roy Rogers is that he once stepped in droppings left behind by Rogers' horse, Trigger. A woman in Kansas City claims the mother of her daughter's best friend owns a braille copy of "Playboy" autographed by Ray Charles. And then there's the Washington, D.C., man who claims his connection to Al Gore is that he accidentally slipped into the vice president's jockstrap before a charity basketball game.
