Sarah Ferguson Might Present At The Oscars Thanks To Her Friendship With Lisa Marie Presley
The decidedly unhip British Invasion 2.0 continues apace with The Sun reporting that since she and her free-loading, no-rent paying roommate/ex-husband Prince Andrew got booted out of their Royal Lodge by his brother King Charles III, Sarah Ferguson aka Original Fergie, has been nosing around on this side of the pond, and has already “struck up a close friendship with” a “mysterious Texan billionaire” while “networking in the US.” And Fergie’s next conquest might take place at this Sunday’s Oscars ceremony. The Sun reports that Fergie may even take the stage to hand out an award based on her “very close” friendship with the Presley family, recently-deceased Lisa Marie Presley in particular. My, my, my; m’lady sure does get around!
Priscilla Presley Says Bam Margera’s Claim That She Gave Him Elvis’ Robe And Ring When He Visited Her Home Was A Lie, And Bam Responded
Priscilla Presley has enough on her plate these days, between coming to grips with the tragic passing of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, and deciding to fight her granddaughter for control of LMP’s life insurance money. So, being roped into the fart cloud that is Bam Margera’s cantankerous and exhausting orbit was probably the last thing she needed right now (or ever). Alas, Bam recently ended up at Priscilla’s house because he WAS friends with her son, Navarone Garcia. Bam posted pics of him and Priscilla on Instagram and implied they were tight, and soon after, claimed she gave him a ring and robe that belonged to Elvis Presley. But, Priscilla just spoke up and said that everything Bam claimed was a lie–she doesn’t even know him and was just cordial with him since Navarone brought him over, and she agreed to the pics with him because Bam said his dad was a big fan. She also lamented that Bam filmed in her home without her consent, she would NEVER give away Elvis’ personal possessions, and the ring and robe weren’t even Elvis’. Bam then apologized to them both and said it was actually Navarone who gifted him Elvis’ stuff, but Priscilla says she and Nav are both completely done with Bam and his clout-chasing messiness.
Priscilla Presley Is Contesting An Amendment Made To A Trust For Lisa Marie Presley’s Kids Following A Big Life Insurance Payout
As we know, the last few years of Lisa Marie Presley‘s life were marked by tragedy and struggle. Right up to the bitter end and, apparently, beyond. Even though she had cause for celebration earlier this month following the success of Baz Luhman’s Elvis at the Golden Globes, that celebration was cut short two days later when she died unexpectedly following a cardiac event. Now, even in death, it seems the ghosts of her past are determined to fuck with her in the afterlife by pitting her mother, Priscilla Presley, and her daughter Riley Keough, against each other for control of a soon-be-be flush trust fund set up for her now 14-year-old twin daughters back in 2010, thanks to a pair of life insurance policies. TMZ reports that Priscilla is contesting a possible “fraudulent” 2016 amendment to the trust, which names Riley (as well as her brother Benjamin Keough who sadly died by suicide in 2020) as trustees, overriding the initial trustees, Priscilla and Barry Sigel. Barry was Lisa Marie’s former business manager, who she sued in 2018 for allegedly mismanaging her funds and causing her to be $16 million in debt.
Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” Received A 12-Minute Standing Ovation At Cannes
I’ve never been to the Cannes Film Festival, but I imagine there’s a lot of preparation and planning involved if you want to attend, even if it’s just as an audience member. Because The Cannes Clap is no joke and I’m not talking about the one that will have you dipping out to the nearest pharmacie for some antibiotiques. I’m talking about the standing ovations, like the 12-minute palm-punisher Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis received after its screening on Tuesday. As everybody knows, you don’t go to a Cannes screening without having done everything in your power to build up the thickest, gnarliest callouses required to endure the gauntlet of The Cannes Clap. And it’s no walk in the park for those on the receiving end either.
Here’s The First Trailer For Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” Starring Austin Butler
It’s been almost three years since relative newcomer Austin Butler was announced to star in Elvis, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic. At the time he won the role it was down to him, Ansel Elgort, and Miles Teller. Ansel went on to jinx West Side Story at the box office while ducking accusations of sexual misconduct, and Miles went on to star in Top Gun 2: Never Gonna Happen and get punched by a wedding planner while partying with Aaron Rodgers in Hawaii. So it looks like they made the right choice. But after seeing the trailer, I’m not so sure they made the right choice in casting Tom Hanks as Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker, a role that clearly should have gone to Jared Leto based on the sheer amount of prosthetics they plastered on him to play a man nobody even knows or cares what he looked like anymore.
Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Biopic Has Found Its Priscilla Presley
And as you can see, it’s not Lana Del Rey. Thoughts and prayers to Lana Del Rey today, as she’s been training for this her whole life (or at least her post-Lizzy Grant life), only to be knocked out in the final round. If you need Lana, she’ll sadly sipping a Pepsi from the back of a 1968 Firebird while wearing a faded vintage pastel blue pleated chiffon prom dress. She was going to do that anyway, but today she has a reason for it.
