The Killer...Single Again!!!


Great Balls Of Fire...

HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) — A judge in Mississippi has approved a divorce settlement between Jerry Lee Lewis and his sixth wife, Kon-artist Kerrie Lynn McCarver Lewis.

It's been a long day and it's been an expensive day," Lewis said outside the courthouse.


The Commercial Appeal, quoting sources familiar with the case, said Kerrie Lewis, 42, would receive $250,000 immediately and $30,000 a year for five years.


Lewis, a young and healthy stud of 69, is known for such hits as Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On is available to any interested young wimin'.

He married the gold-digging Kerrie Lynn McCarver on April 24, 1984. They lived together at his 40-acre ranch near Nesbit, just south of Memphis where she "managed" his merchandising and fan club.


Lewis also will pay $20,000 in child support annually for four years for 18-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis III, the newspaper reported.


Lewis will keep his ranch.
"Sure, I plan to live there," Lewis told the newspaper. "It's been my home for about the past 40 years. That's where I'm going to be."


Jerry Lee had accused Kerrie the slut of adultery and she had questioned his marital fidelity.

She claimed to have married the Killer for a million good reasons. She believed her husband's income topped $1 million annually.

J.W. Whitten, Lewis' road manager, said uncertainty about court dates had prevented Lewis from accepting a number of long-term bookings.


Whitten said the settlement clears the way for Lewis to resume a regular concert schedule and to complete work on an album scheduled to be released this fall.


"We leave for Europe June 24," he said. "We needed this to be over just so we could get back to making some money."

The Killer is loose again!

Killer's New 2005 Comeback Album!!!!

HURLEY'S EX CREDITED WITH SAVING JERRY LEE LEWIS LIZ HURLEY's son DAMIAN is being credited with saving rock 'n' roll legend JERRY LEE LEWIS' life after signing him up to record a new covers album with a number of rock greats.

Film producer STEVE BING, a long time fan of the fallen GREAT BALLS OF FIRE star, and pal JIMMY RIP have reportedly pumped $1 million (GBP526,000) into Lewis' comeback album, which features collaborations with RINGO STARR, ERIC CLAPTON, SIR MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARDS among others.

And Lewis' manager/daughter PHOEBE insists the offer to record the much-anticipated album, which is due out later this year (05), gave her ailing father a spark of life.

She tells newspaper the LOS ANGELES TIMES, "I was so worried about him that I moved back in with him about five years ago. He was in bad shape, very depressed , very poor diet, problems with his marriage (to KERRIE LYNN McCARVER).

"We didn't know what to make when Steve and Jimmy showed up. They told us they wanted to help make his music come to life again... They've done just that."

Lewis himself admits recording the album with Rip and Bing has given him a new lease of life: "When you have people like this working with you and Keith Richards and GEORGE JONES wanting to record with you, it's wonderful."

The album features Lewis' version of LED ZEPPELIN's ROCK + ROLL and a new version of THE BEATLES' I SAW HER STANDING THERE with on-off touring partner LITTLE RICHARD on backing vocals.
