Graceland

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

If Diddy thinks his public apology indirectly addressed to his former girlfriend Cassie is going to be enough to resolve his problems, he’s sorely mistaken. While the statute of limitations has expired on that case, here’s what we know: The FBI has been canvassing across the nation contacting people who might have been secretly filmed in compromising positions at one of Diddy’s parties. They’re leaving cards outside of residences when they can’t make contact, and have over 1000 people as potential victims!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to dominate the headlines as speculation about the current state of their marriage continues. Although we updated you last week, here’s the latest. The couple recently spent a night together at their Beverly Hills home after Ben snuck in to avoid the paparazzi. My source insists the couple are working through this rough spot and actually might wind up living in separate residences but staying married as a way to make their relationship work. It seems they work better when they’re not cohabitating.

Donald Trump’s criminal trial is now in the hands of the jury and here’s the latest. Donald did his best to convince his wife Melania to make even a brief appearance at the trial, with my source saying he offered her a pile of cash. (remember this is a TRANSACTIONAL relationship and not a true love story) Despite the lucrative offer, Melania refused to attend the trial, but we are hearing she might join Donald when the verdict is announced if the offer is tempting enough.

Graceland was almost foreclosed on and now the FBI is involved in the case, as some hanky panky is suspected. We are hearing that members of the Elvis Presley dynasty suspect that Scientology was somehow involved in the plot to take over the iconic tourist attraction. Remember, Lisa Marie Presley distanced herself from the controversial group. While this is just hearsay, my source says that is one of the angles being currently looked into.

Finally, Kim Kardashian made headlines when she met with Gypsy Rose Blanchard to discuss prison reform – but we just heard that’s only half of the story. As we previously reported, Gypsy wants to pursue a career in Hollywood and now Kim’s mom and momager, Kris Jenner, wants to manage Gypsy’s blossoming career. Our source says a reality show is in the works and Kim and Kris are producing.

GRACELAND IS ENJOYING SURGE OF INTEREST, THANKS TO ELVIS MOVIE

The new Elvis movie is stimulating interest in Graceland and visitors are filling up the place again. We had no idea it was SO expensive to get in! Like gas, prices are high, but demand is still there! Photos of the decor are always appalling – did Elvis hire a “decorator” or did his mother do it? His dark kitchen even had CARPETING – along with the latest fancy oven of that time. Why did he resist the popular decor of the era – mid-century modern? Anyway, apparently there are photos of Elvis and his gun collection at the house (he liked little pocket size pistols) – and he also had a target area where he practiced shooting at the outline of a man. Hate to say it, but “guns n’drugs” applies to Elvis as much as Chris Brown.

THE PRESLEY WOMEN JUST LOVE AUSTIN BUTLER

It had to happen. All the women in the Presley family were completely taken by Austin Butler’s swoonworthy performance in the movie Elvis. Priscilla Presley declared that Austin was “outstanding” at the Cannes film Festival. Elvis’s granddaughter Riley Keough was at Cannes with her own film, and said she was “overwhelmed” by Austin as Elvis. Her mother Lisa Marie Presley declared that she was “moved to tears” by Austin and the film is “exquisite. “ So it’s no surprise that they invited Austin to visit Graceland and even allowed him to play Elvis’s own guitar. Riley, still overwhelmed, posted this photo online…
(Omigosh- that DECOR!)
