Liam Neeson is starring in the reboot of Naked Gun. He has been out promoting the upcoming movie and had nothing but good things to say about his co-star in the film, Pamela Anderson. In a recent interview, Neeson even said he was “madly in love with Anderson.”

Here is what you need to know about Neeson, Anderson, and their upcoming Naked Gun movie.

Liam Neeson Starring In Naked Gun Remake With Pamela Anderson

The original Naked Gun starred Leslie Nielsen as Police Squad Lieutenant Frank Drebin. In this mostly slapstick comedy, Drebin is a bumbling police officer who often saves the day by accident. Along the way, he meets a beautiful woman (played by Priscilla Presley), who helps him in his mission and eventually falls in love with him.

Get ready to sink your teeth into Beef Season 2!

The show that turned a simple road rage incident into a full-blown war is back with fresh faces, new grudges, and a whole new setting.

Originally meant to be a one-and-done limited series, Beef became such a smash hit in 2023 that it’s now shifting into an anthology format — bringing an entirely new story to the table for Season 2.

(Andrew Cooper/Netflix)

With new characters and even wilder twists, this next chapter promises to crank up the chaos even higher while keeping the sharp humor and tension that made the first season unforgettable.

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming up on Beef Season 2!

What is Beef about?

Beef is a darkly funny series created by Lee Sung Jin, inspired by his own real-life road rage incident (though it didn’t escalate quite as it does in the show).

In the show,...

Elvis Presley was a major source of inspiration for John Lennon. He, like many other artists in his generation, heard “Heartbreak Hotel” and felt as if his life had changed. When he was a famous musician in his own right, Elvis agreed to meet with the band. While The Beatles walked away from the meeting feeling slightly disappointed, Elvis reportedly began to foster a simmering hatred toward Lennon.

Elvis Presley resented something John Lennon said when they met

In 1965, The Beatles finally had the opportunity to meet Elvis. They drove to Graceland and spent the night playing music with Elvis. Journalist Chris Hutchins said Lennon had long been asking him to set up the meeting, but things went awry between him and Elvis almost immediately.

Now it’s official. Netflix has confirmed it is moving forward with a second season of anthology series Beef, and also confirmed, as we previously reported, that Oscar Isaac (Scenes From A Marriage), Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman), Charles Melton (May December) and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) will star in the upcoming installment.

In Season 2, a young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner. Further Season 2 details will be revealed at a later time.

The first season of Beef starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, premiered in 2023 and went on to win a slew of awards including eight Emmy Awards, four Critics Choice Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, two Gotham Awards, two Film Independent Spirit Awards, two SAG Awards, as well as PGA, WGA and AFI Honors.

"Well – I'm gonna have to do it sooner or later, so might as well get on with it, baby..." Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for an upcoming music history documentary called Return of the King: The Fall & Rise of Elvis Presley, set for streaming in November this fall. They don't specify if it is one feature-length film or a doc mini-series. Return of the King chronicles the life of Elvis but, in particular, tells the sotry of his 1968 Comeback Special that aired on NBC and marked his return to live music after 7 years focused on his rather mediocre acting career. "He had one chance to show the world he was still the King of Rock 'n' Roll." Apparently it is approved by his estate because Graceland posted about it, too. With appearances by Bruce Springsteen, Conan O'Brien, Billy Corgan, Darlene Love, even his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, and Elvis movie director Baz Luhrmann.

Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir From Here to the Great Unknown is a raw and unfiltered look at her life growing up as the only daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. Here are three explosive revelations about life with her mother, Priscilla Presley.

Lisa Marie Presley called herself Priscilla Presley’s ‘trophy’

In her memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, Lisa Marie Presley called herself Priscilla Presley’s “trophy.” Lisa Marie claimed that her mother’s wishes for her were dramatically different from what she wanted.

For example, Lisa said Priscilla sent her to a pricey French school with other celebrity kids because Priscilla was dating someone French and was “obsessed” with the culture. Furthermore, Priscilla wanted Lisa Marie to go to a finishing school where she would be taught social skills, etiquette, and cultural refinement to prepare her for high society or professional life.

“I felt like...

Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Álvarez, brings the franchise back to its terrifying roots with a fresh cast of up-and-coming actors. Set between the events of Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), this film follows a group of young adults as they face a terrifying ordeal on an abandoned space station. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the key cast members and their characters.

‘Alien Romulus’: Complete Cast & Characters Guide: 1. Cailee Spaeny as Rain Carradine

Cailee Spaeny portrays Rain, the central protagonist of Alien: Romulus. She is a low-level miner orphaned on a desolate Weyland-Yutani-controlled planet. Desperate to escape to a better life, Rain dreams of leaving the harsh world behind with her android “brother,” Andy. Spaeny, known for her roles in Pacific Rim: Uprising, Bad Times at the El Royale, and her acclaimed portrayal of Priscilla Presley in Priscilla (2023), leads the cast in this sci-fi horror adventure.

2. David Jonsson as Andy...

The life of Elvis Presley has been immortalized in film multiple times in recent years, including in Elvis (2022) and Priscilla (2023). Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie, was mostly absent from the narrative, given that she was still a child when Elvis died.

She finally told her story in her memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was published on Oct. 8. Lisa Marie died in Jan. 2023, and her daughter, Riley Keough, helped finish the memoir using tapes Lisa Marie had recorded. The book became a bestseller before its release,...

Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir has been released posthumously, however, it contains some shocking allegations of the most traumatic events in the late singers life. One of these allegations is sexual abuse at the hand of her mother’s ex, which she claims started at age 9.

The Memoir Is Titled From Here To The Great Unknown

In the book, Lisa, the only child of rock icon Elvis Presley describes in great detail disturbing allegations against her mother’s ex boyfriend, Michael Edwards, who began dating her mother when she was only 9 years old. Lisa Marie claims that Edwards molested her after he and her mother began dating.

According to Lisa Marie, Edwards molested her when she was ten. Edwards dated her mother for about seven years. Edwards is in the acting industry and has even starred in movies such as The Terminator.

The King of Rock n’ Roll’s charm has been something that’s been oft-talked about, even decades after his tragic death at age 42.

They say he could walk into a room and own it within seconds, they say he had the loveliest smile and suave, they say he could enchant with his voice, and Priscilla Presley was left terrified she could lose him because she might not be able to match many of his admirable qualities as a pregnant woman.

Lisa Marie Presley Claims Mom Priscilla Presley Thought “Of Falling Off A Horse” When She Was Pregnant

Lisa Marie Presley and Priscilla Presley didn’t always have the easiest of relationships. When she died in Jan. 2023, Priscilla Presley was about to have the greatest shock of her life; her daughter had removed her as a co-trustee of Elvis Presley’s estate before her death. This – although I’ll call...

When Elvis Presley died in 1977, his young daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was staying with him at Graceland. Lisa Marie herself said she had been able to tell for several years that her father’s health was declining. She reportedly had an even stronger sense that something was wrong on the last night she saw Elvis. Her daughter, Riley Keough, recounted the sense of unease her mother felt on the last night of Elvis’ life.

Lisa Marie Presley had a sense that something was wrong with Elvis on the day he died

Toward the end of his life, Elvis’ drug use and self-isolation became mounting problems for him. Even Lisa Marie, who was a child when he died, could tell something was wrong.

“One night when I was five or six, we were watching TV,” Lisa Marie said in the book The Colonel by Alanna Nash. “I looked up at him and said,...

Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir From Here to the Great Unknown is as raw as it gets. It details her life, especially her sorrow due to the passing of her father Elvis Presley at a very young age. The memoir was completed by her daughter Riley Keough after Lisa Marie passed away at the age of 54 in 2023.

The book is mostly filled with depressing accounts of her life. She also includes details about her married life to Danny Keough and Michael Jackson. However, details were scant on her marriages to Nicolas Cage and Michael Lockwood. Here are five things we learned about the Presleys from the book.

Presley and Kardashian are two huge, world-famous names, but the little-known secret is that these families were also very connected. It’s kind of wild to think that two of their members were once involved, which could’ve totally changed how things turned out today.

Priscilla Presley and Robert Kardashian fell for each other in the 1970s, but their relationship wasn’t exactly smooth. Elvis was still in the picture, and he was a major factor in why Priscilla decided not to marry again after the King of Rock’s death. So, how did it all go down?

However sad you are expecting “From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir” will be, take heed: it’s sadder than that. This new volume, started by Lisa Marie Presley before her 2022 death and completed recently by daughter Riley Keough, falls squarely into the realm of autobio-tragedy — bracingly looking at how depression and addiction issues repeat themselves generationally, with almost none of the sentimentalized overlay you might expect a book of this kind to impose. “I wondered how many times a heart can break,” Keough writes near the end. As a reader, you may have already been keeping some kind of mental score.

It’s a lot. But it’s not a slog: “From Here to the Great Unknown” is engrossing from start to finish. The fact that it remains that constantly absorbing maybe comes against some odds, since the emotional trajectory of Lisa Marie’s life is never much in doubt…...

Actress Riley Keough discussed her mother’s death in depth for the first time in a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey at her family’s Graceland residence in a special that aired on CBS on Oct. 8. That same day, From Here to the Great Unknown, the posthumous memoir of Keough’s late mother, Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of rock icon Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, went on sale. Keough finished the book by listening to hours of tapes her mother had recorded for the book before she died on Jan. 12, 2023, from a cardiac arrest episode at the age of 54.

In An Oprah Special: The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley, Keough, the daughter of Lisa Marie and actor and musician Danny Keough, teared up listening to audio of her mother talk about her relationship with Michael Jackson, whom she was married to from 1994-1996.

Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, has revealed the concern she felt for her mother in the days before her unexpected death in 2023. Lisa Marie died on January 12, 2023 at the age of 54 of cardiac arrest. She had attended the 2023 Golden Globes with mother Priscilla and the cast and creators of Elvis just two days prior. In a new in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired on October 8 on CBS, Keough revealed she was “worried” for her mom’s wellbeing on the last day she saw her. Keough told Oprah in The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley special that her mom seemed “detached” in the days leading up to her death. Following her brother, Ben Keough’s, death by suicide in July 2020, Keough told Oprah that she always had a “feeling of being on borrowed time with [Lisa Marie].” “But there were a couple...

Riley Keough is doing her best to honor her famous grandfather’s legacy following the tragic passing of her mother Lisa Marie Presley, who is also Elvis Presley’s only child.

Now as the trustee of his estate, Keough is dedicated to maintaining the Presley legacy for generations to come.

Riley Keough – Wants To Continue What Her Mother And Grandmother Did For the Elvis Presley Estate

Riley Keough is all about preserving her family’s legacy. As the new owner of the Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, Keough is committed to doing her best to preserve its legacy for many years to come.

In a People interview published on Sunday, the “Daisy Jones & the Six” talked about her dreams and hopes for her family’s home.

“My hope is to continue what my grandmother [Priscilla Presley] did, and then my mother did, which is simply to preserve our family home,...

In 2024, Julia Roberts will narrate the audiobook of From Here to the Great Unknown, Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir. The book covers Presley’s life at Graceland, tumultuous relationships, and experiences as a mother. Roberts described it as a great privilege to be able to record Presley’s life story.

Julia Roberts is narrating the audiobook of Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir

Presley spent the final years of her life working on From Here to the Great Unknown. The memoir, which is out Oct. 8, will have an audiobook narrated by Roberts.

“Lisa Marie Presley’s one-of-a-kind memoir deserves an equally exceptional talent, and we are thrilled that Julia Roberts is lending her extraordinary gifts to this poignant production,” Amanda D’Acierno, president and publisher of the Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Group, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Julia’s performance adds a profound depth to this heartfelt story of mother and daughter.

Following the birth of her twins Harper and Finley Lockwood in 2008, Lisa Marie Presley was prescribed painkillers to aid in her postpartum recovery. In her posthumous memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, the late daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley details her experience developing an opioid addiction and the withdrawals that followed.

“For a couple of years it was recreational and then it wasn’t. It was an absolute matter of addiction, withdrawal in the big leagues,” reads an excerpt from the book, shared via People ahead of its Oct.

Julia Roberts will narrate the audiobook of Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, it was announced Wednesday.

The actress will narrate alongside Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, who helped complete the book following Presley’s death.

The audiobook will also feature never-before-heard selections from the personal tapes Presley recorded as she prepared to write the book.

In a statement, Roberts said, “I was so moved by Lisa Marie’s incredible memoir. It was a real privilege to give voice to her wild and beautiful life and I deeply appreciate Riley entrusting me with her mother’s story.”

Added Keough, “I’m so thrilled to have Julia be a part of this and read the voice of my mother. I couldn’t think of anyone more perfect to help share her story with the world.”

Random House notes that prior to Presley’s death in...

Graceland was Elvis Presley‘s family residence. Therefore, when it was decided to open the home to the public, choices were made regarding what rooms would be accessible and which would not. The Presley family agreed early on that the upstairs rooms of Graceland were off-limits. So what would happen if a visitor tried to sneak upstairs to the king’s suite of rooms?

What happens if someone tries to sneak upstairs at Graceland?

Once the decision was made to open Elvis Presley’s Graceland home to the public, it was determined what rooms fans would be able to view. While he was alive, Elvis rarely let anyone upstairs. It was his private domain.

Therefore, when Graceland became a museum of Elvis’ life, that tradition continued with a tiny alteration. As Elvis died in the bathroom upstairs, the area was sealed off from fans so fans wouldn’t focus on that space.

Oprah Winfrey’s trip to the historic Graceland property will serve as the backdrop to her interview with Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough, in the upcoming program An Oprah Special: The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie And Riley. Premiering Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+, the special interview will arrive in tandem with the release of From Here to the Great Unknown, the memoir Keough co-wrote using recordings from her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley.

Winfrey toured Graceland and sat with Keough, who has yet to speak at...

Oprah Winfrey has set her next sit-down interview special — this time, discussing the kingdom of Elvis Presley with his granddaughter, Riley Keough.

“An Oprah Special: The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley” will air Oct. 8 on CBS and is being billed as “an intimate conversation about her life, her mother Lisa Marie’s life and her famous family.”

“In the special, Oprah Winfrey travels to the historic Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, to sit down with Riley, Elvis’ first-born grandchild, in her first in-depth interview since her mother died unexpectedly in 2023,” according Paramount’s Tuesday release. “Before her death, Lisa Marie recorded hours of stories from her remarkable, one-of-a-kind life for a memoir, ‘From Here to the Great Unknown,’ which Riley finished co-writing.”

“I felt my father could change the weather. He was a god to me. A chosen human being,” the “Under the Bridge” actress tells Winfrey of her dad Danny in the special.

Oprah Winfrey is on tear with the primetime specials.

Just a few days after airing her ABC exploration of artificial intelligence with leaders in the tech community, the media mogul has set her TV outing at CBS. An Oprah Special: The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie And Riley is the result of Winfrey’s recent trip to Elvis Presley’s historic Graceland Mansion where she interviewed Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough.

Keough’s sit-down with the queen of sit-downs comes nearly two years after the unexpected death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley at 54 years old. Prior to her death, the Elvis’ lone offspring recorded hours of stories from her unique life for a memoir. Working with those recordings, Keough co-penned the book From Here to the Great Unknown. It arrives Oct. 8, via Random House, the same day as Winfrey’s special.

The Florida lawyer accused of conspiring with memorabilia auctioneer Brigitte Kruse to defraud Priscilla Presley out of more than $1 million in an alleged elder abuse scheme is breaking her silence to claim she never violated her duty to the author, actress, and ex-wife of Elvis Presley.

In new court filings obtained by Rolling Stone, lawyer Lynn Walker Wright says she “vehemently denies” duping Presley into signing a stack of legal documents that Presley alleges were so “unconscionable” and damaging to her financial interests, they’re legally “unenforceable.” Walker Wright admits...

Elvis Presley’s ex-wife and heirs have spent decades hounded by public fascination and scrutiny. Members of an American folklore dynasty, they share a mythology that’s seemingly unstoppable. Not only did it inspire two recent prestige films from directors Baz Luhrmann and Sofia Coppola, but the films were critical hits that in turn generated legions of curious new fans. When Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis and ex-wife Priscilla Presley, died suddenly in January 2023 at the age of 54, the storied family was once again thrust into the spotlight.

Fun fact: did you know that Michael Jackson was once married to Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley? No, well, they were barely married so maybe that’s why that chapter of their lives is not so well known.

However, at the time, their surprise marriage and quick divorce made headlines around the world. Decades later, Priscilla Presley is sharing her two cents on the marriage.

Priscilla Presley Doesn’t Believe Michael Jackson Married Her Daughter Because He Loved Her

Elvis Presley’s fame still burns bright to this very day even though he died at a young age, and while Michael Jackson is undoubtedly one of the biggest performers in history, Priscilla Presley still believes he was awed by Elvis Presley’s name and wanted to be associated with it.

Even though Michael met Lisa Marie when she was a young girl in 1970, they reconnected in 1992 when she...

It’s been nearly 50 years since Elvis Presley’s death. But his memory still looms large for his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley.

Priscilla Presley shares tribute to Elvis Presley Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley | Bettmann Archive/Getty Images

On August 16, Priscilla took to social media to post a touching remembrance of her former husband on the 47th anniversary of his death.

“47 years and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you,” she captioned the Instagram post, which also included a short video clip featuring a black-and-white photo of the late King of Rock ‘n’ Roll accompanied by the song “Always On My Mind.”

A few days earlier, Priscilla also paid tribute to Elvis’ mother, Gladys Presley. Priscilla never met Gladys, who died in 1958, a year before she met Elvis. But she knew how much she meant to her husband.

“Today, August 14th, Elvis’ mother Gladys passed,” Priscilla wrote in the Instagram post.

Before there was Priscilla, Cailee Spaeny revealed that her first collaboration with Sofia Coppola was an eventually scrapped version of The Little Mermaid.

“My first-ever callback was through Sofia,” the Alien: Romulus star told Empire. “It was for [Coppola’s] The Little Mermaid, [which] ended up not getting made. I sent this weird self-tape, playing a mermaid with no dialogue.”

In true Coppola fashion, Spaeny said it was “very strange and avant-garde.”

In 2017, Spaeny and Coppola crossed paths again, when the actress auditioned for The Beguiled, a period drama starring Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Farrell and Elle Fanning.

“That didn’t end up working out,” Spaeny recalled. “I was crushed, because Sofia is the director that I zeroed in on as a young teenage girl, especially living in the Bible Belt. There’s something so freeing [in her work] and something that wasn’t really talked about for young women where I grew up. She took young girls seriously.

Cailee Spaeny attended the Alien: Romulus premiere with her co-stars after missing out on the Los Angeles red carpet.

The 26-year-old actress was photographed on the red carpet at the premiere on Wednesday (August 14) in London, England.

Cailee is most known for her leading role as Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola‘s Priscilla. Now she’s taking a turn in the sci-fi genre with Alien: Romulus, the seventh film of the popular Alien franchise.

Alongside her on the red carpet were her co-stars, Archie Renaux and Spike Fearn, as well as director Fede Alvarez, who were all at the Los Angeles premiere earlier in the week. Cailee wasn’t there, but we were so glad to see her on London’s red carpet!

Alien: Romulus is in theaters this Friday, so make sure to check out the trailer if you haven’t!

Fyi: Cailee is wearing a Mugler dress. Fede is wearing Zegna.

There’s a dark joke nestled within the appearance of a familiar character in “Alien: Romulus.” The move is a dubious creative decision for the sake of that sprinkle of fan service we’ve come to expect in a reboot. Whatever’s best for the company (i.e. Walt Disney Corp.), indeed.

But this, perhaps, is unfair to “Alien: Romulus” — ultimately a good ol’ fashioned romp — and to its predecessors as a whole. Amid the ongoing gold rush of reboots and revamps, the world of “Alien” has remained a bit of a remarkable creature, so to speak. It’s a franchise whose each iteration (discounting the “Alien vs. Predator” spinoffs) has largely made an earnest and interesting effort to reinvent itself and contend with and expand its mythology.

You can say that about the jump between the two stone-cold classics of “Alien” and “Aliens,” when Ridley Scott’s simple but...

Im Alter von 91 Jahren ist der österreichische Bauunternehmer Richard Lugner in Wien verstorben. Zu den Unternehmungen des Society-Stars zählt auch ein Multiplex in der eigenen Einkaufsmeile Lugner City, Geschäftsführerin ist Tochter Jacqueline Lugner.

Wer an den Wiener Opernball denkt, denkt vermutlich automatisch an den österreichischen Bauunternehmer Richard „Mörtel“ Lugner, der dort Jahr für Jahr für Schlagzeilen sorgte – dank prominenter Begleitungen aus Hollywood, zu denen Schauspielerinnen wie Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn, Sophia Loren, Jane Fonda oder zuletzt Priscilla Presley zählten. Auch beim Deutschen Filmball war Lugner über etliche Jahre zu Gast. Nun starb er im Alter von 91 Jahren in Wien.

Zu den Unternehmungen des Baumagnaten zählt die 1990 eröffnete Einkaufsmeile Lugner City, wo im September 2005 ein Multiplex mit damals gut 1800 Sitzplätzen eröffnet wurde. Die Verantwortung für das Lugner Kino mit insgesamt elf Sälen hatte Tochter Jacqueline Lugner 2016 als Prokuristin übernommen,...

August 9

Q: On this day exactly 50 years ago, August 9 1974, Richard Nixon became the first and only President to resign his office. Nixon also significantly brought Best Actor nominations to two actors who played him on screen. Who are they?

A: Anthony Hopkins was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for 1995’s Nixon. Frank Langella was nominated in the same category for 2008’s Frost/Nixon. Langella had previously won a Tony Award for the play on which that movie was based. Only one actor has ever won a Best Actor Oscar for playing a real life U.S. President. Daniel Day Lewis took his third Lead Actor Academy Award in 2012’s Lincoln. Raymond Massey was also previously nominated as Lincoln for Best Actor in 1940’s Abe Lincoln In Illinois. Nixon and Lincoln are the only real life U.S. Presidents to be responsible for multiple Oscar nominations for those who played them.

Next summer, the Naked Gun franchise is set to return to theaters with Seth MacFarlane producing and Liam Neeson playing Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s character. But one person who has read the script cautions comedy fans not to get their hopes up, calling the reboot “appallingly unoriginal” and a “beat-for-beat remake of the first film.”

This source also revealed several spoilers about the plot to me.

Much like his father did in the 1988 film, Frank Drebin Jr. will get dropped from the police force and the final conflict will take place at a sporting event, though this time it’s supposedly a wrestling match instead of a baseball game. And just as Nielsen fell in love with the conflicted assistant of the bad guy in the original (played Priscilla Presley), Frank Drebin Jr. will fall in love with the conflicted assistant of the bad guy...

Riley Keough has announced a six-date book tour for the memoir From Here to the Great Unknown, paying tribute to her late mother Lisa Marie Presley. Keough, who co-authored the memoir with Lisa Marie, will arrive Oct. 15 via Random House.

The book tour begins Oct. 9 in New York and makes stops in Memphis at Graceland, St. Louis, Nashville, and London, with the final stop on Oct. 20 in Los Angeles. The tour will include special guests, which have not yet been announced. “Riley will dive into a legendary tale of American royalty,...

While perhaps not as immediately obvious as a drooling xenomorph with acid-for-blood, one of the many secrets to the Alien franchise’s longevity has been its casting. The original 1979 movie directed by Ridley Scott is rightly celebrated for introducing Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley to the world, yet that whole film’s ensemble is pretty extraordinary. For all intents and purposes, it marked American audiences’ introductions to John Hurt and Ian Holm while also featuring an overall grizzled naturalism, courtesy of actors like Tom Skerritt and Yaphet Kotto.

When the folks starring in the series’ latest iteration, Alien: Romulus, think back to the ’79 movie today, they’re still in a bit of awe. Actor David Jonsson, who plays a benevolent android named Andy in the film, enthuses the first Alien is “almost a theater piece” with its reliance on an often quiet, unshowy ensemble. Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny, meanwhile,...

In a shocking turn of events, an auction associated with Priscilla Presley faces accusations of selling fake merchandise. The allegations come from Graceland itself. According to the home of Elvis Presley’s memorabilia, some items auctioned off at this specific house are actually housed in Graceland.

Here is what the controversy is all about.

Graceland Accuses Auction House Of Inauthenticity

Graceland has made some pretty big accusations about Gws Auctions. This is a notable auction house that sells Elvis Presley memorabilia and is connected to Priscilla Presley. According to Graceland, some items Gws auctioned off are inauthentic because they are actually on display in Graceland.

YouTube/The Jonathan Ross Show

Joel Weinshanker, managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, spoke to NBC News about the situation. He said the auction house was selling one of Elvis’s old jackets. It is a black grommet jacket, a one-of-a-kind item worn by Elvis...

Priscilla Presley is bringing legal action against memorabilia auctioneer Brigitte Kruse for coning her into making bad financial decisions.

The ex-wife of Elvis Presley is suing four former business associates for financial elder abuse and fraud, claiming that they used her to make money and took the lion’s share.

According to the filings, the group duped her out of a million dollars and turned her into a slave under them.

Priscilla Presley Calls Auctioneer Brigitte Kruse A “Pathological Liar” In New Filings

Filed on Thursday, the complaint claimed that they forced Presley “into a form of indentured servitude, where [she] was forced to work so that they could receive the lion’s share of any revenue that she was able to earn in the future.”

The filing went on to describe Kruse as “a con-artist and pathological liar” who stole more than a million dollars from Presley, and through fraudulent means,...

An auction house that sells Elvis Presley memorabilia, and also has ties to Priscilla Presley, has come under fire by Graceland executives questioning the authenticity of some of its items.

Joel Weinshanker, a managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, recently expressed his concerns to NBC News over Gws Auctions, the auction house owned by Brigitte Kruse — who is also one of four people named in Priscilla’s lawsuit filed earlier this week alleging financial elder abuse.

Weinshanker told the outlet he first became suspicious of the auction house when he noticed a black grommet jacket, said to be worn by the legendary singer in 1972, listed for sale. However, he claimed the jacket was hanging in Graceland’s private collection.

“We know there was only one made, and guess what? We have it in our archives,” Weinshanker said. NBC News noted that it visited Elvis’ estate in Memphis and saw the jacket and its receipt.

For nine years of her life, Lisa Marie Presley lived at Graceland. She resided there full-time with Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley and, after the couple divorced, part-time. Lisa left her mark on the home, leaving a secret message hidden inside a drawer at the Memphis estate.

While no one currently lives in the Memphis, Tennessee estate, the house holds plenty of happy memories for those who lived and laughed with the King of Rock and Roll for the 20 years he lived there. However, one time of the year brought the family home “back to life” more than any other.

One time of the year brought ‘life’ back into Graceland

Elvis Presley spent much of his life searching for enlightenment. While he had achieved unprecedented success in his career, he felt unfulfilled.

On the recommendation of a monk, Elvis met with Daya Mata, the president of the Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India.
