no offense to the actors but i cannot BELIEVE they cast riley keogh and sam claflin in da*sy jones and the six and made them learn how to sing AFTER they had been hired. stars need to step up and start being multi-hyphenates from the get-go again instead of lying and saying they can sing in auditions. the songs from the show are fine but they're not special

[officialkendallroy]

matt dillon is kinda 🫶 in this...

[blessyouhawkeye]

i do think it's very funny that in daisy jones and the six the author describes karen as a subtle beauty, gorgeous in an understated way, and then for the show they cast fucking suki waterhouse to play her

[venus-haze]

Riley Keough being in The House That Jack Built, Zola, and The Devil All the Time…she has the range.

This may be a prickly subject, and I'm sorry if so. But I'm trying to learn more about Elvis, and every time I bring him up to people I know, they try to tell me he was this terrible person, and point me toward Priscilla's book, the movie made on it, and the discourse. Idk if you've talked about it on here (I tried searching your blog but couldn't find anything on it). If you're willing, I'd love to hear your take on it so I can see a more nuanced view.

The film Priscilla was greenlit roughly a month after Priscilla herself was informed that she was close to becoming financially insolvent in 2022. With a business partner, Brigitte Kruse, who allegedly helped broker the film deal, she established a limited liability company called Priscilla Presley Partners that was supposed to use her image and likeness to create several lines of merchandise to coincide with the film's release. That business partner is now suing Priscilla because she did not have the rights to her image or likeness, or any ability to use the Presley name, because she had already sold all of those rights and was no longer considered in good standing with Graceland or Elvis Presley Enterprises. The entire business deal, then, according to the lawsuit, was built on her misrepresentation of how much her image was worth.

The deal between the two of them fell apart after Riley Keough, Lisa Marie's daughter and Priscilla's granddaughter, settled with Priscilla to give her a lump sum of $1 million from Lisa Marie's estate and yearly amounts of $100,000. Priscilla sued very shortly after Lisa Marie's death because she thought Lisa Marie's signature on a will had been forged because Priscilla was not included in it. All of the assets were supposed to go directly to Lisa Marie's son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020, and her three daughters, two of whom are still teenagers. Now, part of those assets have been claimed by Priscilla and her other son, Navarone, who has no connection to the Presley family and has stated he is glad Lisa died.

Four months before Lisa's death, Lisa wrote to Sofia Coppola and made it clear she had strong concerns about the Priscilla film and was suspicious of the intentions behind it:

"As his daughter, I don’t read this and see any of my father in this character. I don’t read this and see my mother’s perspective of my father. ... I will be forced to be in a position where I will have to openly say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother and this film publicly."

Lisa was enormously grateful for efforts put into 2022's Elvis to find her father's soul and to restore his dignity in a world that often turns him and his family into a joke:

"You can feel and witness Baz’s pure love, care, and respect for my father throughout this beautiful film, and it is finally something that myself and my children and their children can be proud of forever."

It is such a strong and powerful statement, to see how much Lisa valued family, not just her father but her own children and their legacy, and how willing she was to speak up no matter what was going on in her personal life to say what was right. On this and many other things, Lisa and Priscilla's values have rarely been in alignment. A friend and EPE business associate, Joel Weinshanker, said of her, "Lisa couldn't be bought, she couldn't be pushed. If she felt that something wasn't in Elvis' best interest, it was never about money. And she really is the only Presley that you could say that about."

Priscilla, though, has adjusted her stories about her time with Elvis almost every time she discusses it. For a quick example, she said in her book, which was released in 1985, that Elvis insisted she do her hair and makeup a certain way, that he had control over her look and would get upset if she didn't dress how he wanted. But in an interview with Ladies' Home Journal in 1973, she said that she made a deliberate choice to attend makeup school so that she could learn how to style herself, and that it was her idea to wear big, black hair and big, black eyeliner. She said she was embarrassed for going overboard. She said, "I wish that Elvis had said something, but he must have liked it because he never commented." This lines up with recollections from Patti Parry, a platonic friend of Elvis' and a hairstylist, who said Priscilla always wanted Patti to do her hair in a "big boombah," but that Priscilla would then get upset when Elvis didn't notice or didn't like it.

These changes are impossible not to notice if you follow her for any length of time. At the film premiere, she said it felt just like watching her life and said she was consulted on everything, since she was an executive producer. After the film came out, she said she couldn't understand why Coppola had changed so much about the story and misrepresented events. In the '70s, she said she and Elvis lived almost totally separate lives, that she came and went as she pleased, and that she loved this freedom. Later, she said she felt completely stifled and trapped and never left the house, even though she had friends she went out with all the time. In 2019, she tweeted a forceful denial about a National Enquirer story: "This is the Enquirer folks... please don't believe everything you read. ... Never planned on being buried next to Elvis. What will they come up with next?" But part of her settlement demands in her lawsuit against Riley in 2023 asked "to be buried next to Elvis." This year, she said in two separate interviews that Lisa was with her when Elvis died and that Priscilla had to break the news to her, despite the fact that Lisa was at Graceland when it happened. She has said she gave Elvis the idea to wear belts on his jumpsuits, to have a lightning bolt as his logo, to sing "An American Trilogy," though none of that is true. She retells the story about forcing Elvis to burn all of his spiritual books to prove he loved her as an almost funny anecdote about debrainwashing him, while Elvis later said it was the worst thing he ever agreed to, a desperate attempt to make her happy by giving up the things he valued the most. (For the record, this is my opinion about their relationship on both sides: thinking they could change themselves and each other to make it work. It never did.)

Every secondhand Elvis account has to be treated lightly and only valued for its consistency with known facts and other witnesses. I try to give enormous benefit of the doubt to anyone in the Elvis world because they often only have partial knowledge of what Elvis may have been thinking at any given time, and there are numerous examples of people who were taken advantage of by unscrupulous journalists who changed the story they wanted to tell. But Priscilla's stories sometimes are not even consistent with her own statements, which makes them very poor options indeed to base anything on. However careful we are about noting potential biases and inaccuracies in other memoirs, we have to be triply, quadruply careful with anything in which Priscilla involves herself because she has a vested interest in generating discourse today in order to make money. Unfortunately, Priscilla has a habit of stifling other accounts or making sensationalized statements each time there is a possibility that she will lose some of the cachet that comes with being an Elvis Source—after Elvis' death, when she believed she was going to inherit his airplane and disinvited everyone that Vernon said could fly in it to his funeral; when she sued the parents of one of Elvis' ex-girlfriends after he died because he had allowed them to live rent-free in a house he bought for them; when she claimed that Elvis wanted to reunite with her before his death, despite the fact that he was engaged to someone else and told many people he couldn't see a reunion ever happening with her; before Vernon's death, when she convinced him to make her an executor of the Presley estate until Lisa came of age; after Lisa came of age, when she convinced Lisa to let her stay on as partner; when Lisa accused Priscilla of misspending Lisa's money, during which time anonymous sources cropped up to say Lisa was in debt and drug-addled; when Priscilla was removed from her position as an EPE spokesperson but kept collecting $900,000 a year from the company; when Lisa died, and Priscilla sued once she learned she wasn't in the will; when Priscilla was no longer associated with EPE and decided to do another adaptation of a book that she has since recanted parts of and has contradicted before and after its release.

When Priscilla thinks there is a threat to her image and position, she does new interviews and projects to muddy the waters and stir public interest, whether it is true or false, positive or negative, laudatory or defamatory. She gets corrected by Elvis' surviving family members, girlfriends, friends, and fans, but these stories do not get the same reach no matter how much they are backed by contemporaneous documents and witnesses, or how many resources there are to educate the public on how Elvis' and Priscilla's attitudes about marriage and relationships changed—along with the rest of society—between 1960 and 1970.

I think almost any single-source project is not going to advance our understanding of Elvis in any way because no one individual can speak for him, and we are kind of obligated to include all the context we can in order to appreciate his character, his successes and failures, flaws and virtues—and to treat both himself and those around him as fully three-dimensional people who have their own blind spots. Priscilla is far too aware of her own image, and far too willing to change it to suit the audience, to be particularly valuable here.

She is next scheduled to appear at the Lexington (Kentucky) Comic & Toy Con.

꧁ “All this love I have for you…I don’t know where to put it now that you are gone” - Lang Leav

Another year has gone by without you and it hasn’t gotten any easier

I know I should be looking back on your life with a smile and be proud of all you've accomplished but I cannot stop the terrible sadness I feel for you. And I cannot stop the tears from coming when I think of what could have been and what was taken from you and everyone who loved you on August 16th, 1977

I'm thinking about how you could have still been here. You would have been able to see your baby Lisa Marie grow up into the talented and beautiful woman she was. You would have been the one to teach her to drive and, most likely, the one to buy her first car. And I bet you would have been the happiest "grand-pappy" the day Riley was born and taken home from the hospital

You could have also celebrated your 88th birthday this year as an old man with grey hair, or maybe Larry Geller would still be dyeing it pitch-black for you. Maybe you would have been holding your great-granddaughter Tupelo to your chest while your loved ones surrounded you, singing happy birthday. You would have been even happier to be the “great-grandpappy”

But that’s not what happened for you or your family and it breaks my heart

Rather than growing old, you passed away at the age of 42

On that night, you kissed and put Lisa Marie to bed for the very last time, not knowing it would be your last, not knowing you'd be gone just hours later. You left this world alone and quietly in the early hours of the morning without a proper goodbye, leaving so much unsaid by the people who loved you and wanted you to know. You left feeling like you hadn’t done enough to be remembered but it’s now 46 years later Elvis, and you are just as loved as you were then

And I am so grateful to say that I am one of the many people you reached, who love you, and think about you every single day. The impact that you have left on me cannot even be measured or described. I will forever be indebted to you Elvis, and all the ways that you left this world more beautiful than you found it. Truthfully, I wouldn’t want to live in a world that wasn’t touched by you. You make the days more bearable with your music and your presence, and I know that whenever I need comfort or happiness I can find it in something you did

You were simply unique and completely irreplaceable… the world has felt so dull and so empty since you left it. I truly mean it when I say that I love you Elvis, and if there is a way, I hope you know just how much

I miss you more than words could be said, and I’ll miss you until my last breathe. Rest in peace my love

Love “allways”,

𝒜𝓅𝓇𝒾𝓁

Ahhhhhh… here comes a rant no one wanted but you’re gonna get. Because why are people so like weird in this fandom? I feel like sometimes people forget we don’t actually know celebrities or their families.

Someone posted pictures of Priscilla celebrating her birthday. I guess her son surprised her with a surprise party and everyone was there. Riley, the twins, their dad, Riley’s dad, Jerry and his wife. A few of her other friends. You can see they’re all just having such a great time together. They all look so happy. There’s a photo of Harper hugging Priscilla and laying her head on her shoulder. It’s so cute.

But of course you’ve got the people in this fandom that hate her so much they’ve got to be negative. One person was like “How is there no loyalty to Lisa and Elvis. Shame on Jerry and them. She clearly isn’t mourning over her daughter.” Huh??????

First off.. No one ever stops mourning a loss of their child. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to continued to live your fucking life. Life is for the living. How do you know she wasn’t feeling some sort of way about her not being there? Do you expect all of them to just never live their lives??? Then about loyalty. Like huh??? Is she not allowed to celebrate her birthday? Is her family not allowed to celebrate with her?? Are the twins supposed to just say “fuck our dad” just because we know how things went with him and Lisa?? That’s their only living parent now. As I always say these people don’t feel the way YOU do about their family. Is Jerry not allowed to celebrate the birthday of someone he’s been friends with for decades??? Someone who Lisa loved???? Are her granddaughters supposed to just say fuck grandma?? Just because YOU do not like her??? I can’t.

People always have to take a happy moment and turn it negative. They are all clearly having such a great time with one another. As Riley said Priscilla has always been grandma to them. They never saw her any other way and still don’t.

Please.. I beg some of you. Get a life. Because I really feel like people forget that this is a real family. You do not know them personally. You do not spend time with them in their daily lives. You do not know how they feel or think. You see what’s in the media and think you know everything there is to know. They will never hate Priscilla the way you do and you need to get over it. Because no one knows that woman more than her family. It’s pretty clear they all love each other.

You get mad when you think they’re fighting and she doesn’t care about the grandchildren. Then you get mad when you see them enjoying life and spending time together. There’s no winning with some of the fans in this fandom.

Pick your battle or just don’t say anything at all. This family has been through enough already. They don’t need fans making it worse with their constant negativity.

Elvis Presley's home of Graceland will not be hitting the auction block on Thursday after all.

In a hearing Wednesday that only lasted about eight minutes, Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins adjourned the sale of Graceland, saying, "The notary has sworn that the notary did not notarize the signature of Lisa Marie Presley on the deed of trust, which brings into question the authenticity of the signature."

The hearing on Wednesday in Tennessee was set to determine whether a dubious entity could proceed with an advertised plan to auction off the late singer's estate in Memphis.MORE: Battle for Graceland heads to court

Actress Riley Keough, Presley's granddaughter, was trying to stop a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC from conducting an auction outside the Shelby County Courthouse on Thursday at noon.

Keough is alleging the company presented fraudulent documents last September "purporting to show that Lisa Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million from Naussany Investments and gave a deed of trust encumbering Graceland as security," according to the court documents obtained by Memphis ABC affiliate WATN.

Keough is being represented by attorneys based in Memphis and Jacksonville, Florida. Both lawyers declined to comment to ABC News. It is not yet clear whether Naussany Investments has an attorney.

Jenkins said "Gregory Naussany" of Jacksonville filed a one-page motion for continuance and Jenkins denied the motion Wednesday.

"The court will adjourn the sale as requested because one, the real estate is considered unique under Tennessee law and in being unique, the loss of the real estate would be considered irreparable harm," Jenkins said.

Jenkins added, "Graceland is a part of this community, well loved by this community and indeed around the world."

Elvis and Priscilla didn’t see each other again for 2 years after meeting in Germany. Elvis got back together with his girlfriend Anita Wood when he returned to the U.S. Priscilla had high school boyfriends like Ron Tapp when she was separated from Elvis in Germany. She moved to Graceland in March 1963 and turned 18 in May. Her parents and Colonel Parker forced their wedding. Ann Margret was the love of Elvis’s life and he wanted to marry her instead. Priscilla stole $900,000 from Lisa Marie yearly and recently tried to contest her will and filed a lawsuit against her granddaughter Riley over it.

Telling Stories

summary: Reader tends to ramble when it comes to telling stories, Elvis thinks it is adorable, but the Memphis Mafia steps out of line.

warnings: none

word count: 571

One thing Elvis loved about you was that you loved to tell him stories, more or less just about your many adventures of the day. He would stare upon you lovingly as you rambled on having to backtrack yourself at times but he never minded. With your legs draped across Elvis's lap, you played with his rings as you began on one of your many stories. “I was walking into the dress shop and I was looking for one of those um dresses that you had shown me in the magazine, you know, Elvis?” Elvis nodded his head and smiled, he lifted his hand closer so that you could look up rather than down. “And then I saw Mrs.Belle- and you know that her granddaughter is getting married? Mrs. Belle did not seem too happy about that but I remember the last time she came to church, her grandaughter I mean- she had that boy with her-” 

“I thought we were talking about you going dress shopping?” Jimmy asked, the men shared a joint laugh. His comment was not made with mal intent, but the one to follow was. 

“Oh Jimmy, you know that she can not keep her mind on one topic. The station’s there but the train has long since left.” Roger retorted and the men howled with laughter, you sunk into Elvis’s lap. 

“I was talking about the dress.” You mumbled softly looking down at your lap you felt the heat filling your face. “I just remembered about her gr-”

The men’s laughter had long since drowned your comments out. “Oh Y/N, can not keep her mind straight.” 

Elvis shifted in his seat and pulled you closer to his chest, “Y’all stop, all of y’all!” He hollered, “Ain’t none of y’all got a right to be treating her the way ya’ll are.” 

“Elvis it’s not a big deal.” You mumbled as you twisted the rings on his fingers.

“No it is a big deal, they should not  be making fun of you like that.” He replied, “Ya’ll hear me? If ya’ll are gonna treat my girl like this then you better get the hell out of my house.” He hollered at the men, “The door is right there if ya’ll want to keep this up.” He gestured to the door.

The men all sat quietly as Elvis watched them intently, a chorus of apologies directed towards you was soon filling the silence. 

“Now finish your story, doll,” Elvis said as he lifted your head up to look at him. 

“Well her grandaughter is marrying that boy named William, Joseph I am sure that you know him. Well, she was just going on and on about how young she is and how she thinks that she is rushing into the whole marriage ordeal and I was just standing there waiting for her to finish because, to be honest, I was just trying to look at the rack behind her!” 

The men all laughed and you felt your face heat up with embarrassment once again, “Honey they ain’t laughing at your story they’re laughing at your joke. The one about the rack, they thought it was funny!” Elvis squeezed your hand and you smiled.

“Well, she was just going on and on and then her granddaughter walked in!” You continued on with your story and Elvis laughed along with the men, making sure to keep them in line.
