Lisa Marie Presley

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.

LISA MARIE PRESLEY DIED FROM CONSTIPATION LIKE HER FATHER ELVIS

It was either an inherited tendency or a gruesome coincidence, but Lisa Marie Presley and her father Elvis were BOTH diagnosed with “cardiac arrest” that later proved to be a bowel obstruction most likely caused by opioid consumption. Opioids caused the constipation that killed Elvis (in his bathroom) at 42, and Lisa at the age of 54. When Elvis died his family did EVERYTHING to cover up the fact that he did drugs, but the truth eventually came out. It is SO sad that Lisa didn’t learn a lesson from her father’s untimely death…

A SURPRISE PERFORMANCE BY AUSTIN BUTLER

Austin Butler credits the late Lisa Marie Presley for helping him in his award winning role as her father Elvis Presley, so he’s planning to pay his respects to her with a touching performance. Austin was with Lisa Marie at the Golden Globes less than 48 hours before her unexpected death and while he’s clearly in a state of shock and mourning, he wants to honor her at her memorial this Sunday. Austin is booked solid in the middle of Hollywood awards season, but he’s moving things around and plans to attend her memorial at Graceland. He’s been offered a private jet to make the commute easier and according to one insider, hopes to sing at least one of Elvis’s songs, Separate Ways. The lesser known song was never a hit for Elvis, but something about its darker lyrics captivated Lisa Marie, and she often said it was one of her favorites.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO LISA MARIE PRESLEY?

The shocking death of former Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley today at 54 has left those you knew her with more questions than answers. According to a resident in the ritzy Calabasas neighborhood where she lived, Lisa Marie has been feeling “off” and unwell for months, even going as far as confiding to some neighbors that she felt like she was drugged. Lisa thought perhaps she was suffering from black mold poisoning, but her house was given the all clear. She was wobbly at times and feared she had MS, but after a recent check-up, that apparently wasn’t the case. Lisa had remained friendly with her first husband Danny Keough and he moved into her Calabasas home in 2021 after the suicide of their son Benjamin left Lisa distraught. Their relationship was platonic and he helped with her 14 year old twins. Wild theories about Lisa’s untimely death are already circulating among some fellow residents of the posh development involving Scientology, but they’re just too litigious to print….

ELVIS MADE AUSTIN BUTLER A STAR

Austin Butler looks like the perfect gentleman escorting former Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley to the Golden Globes Elvis birthday party (born Jan 8) at The Formosa in Hollywood. Lisa Marie was bedazzled by Austin’s performance in the Elvis movie. She said it’s the first time she and her children and future grandchildren can be proud because Elvis is portrayed as a decent and caring person in the film. The Golden Globes had their usual round of parties before the award show in hopes they can regain respect with new HFPA rules and members. Not to mention a black, openly gay host – the adorable Jerrod Carmichael...

WHAT DID SCIENTOLOGY HAVE TO DO WITH BEN’S DEATH?

It’s a sad day for Elvis Presley’s family. Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, posted this photo as a tribute to her brother Benjamin on July 12, the day he died by suicide at the age of 27. (two years ago) She wrote: Not an hour goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. Benjamin looked a LOT like his grandfather Elvis and was even offered a record contract by Universal at the age of 17. Nothing came of it, and he struggled with drugs, alcohol, and depression. (Apparently the subject of higher education never came up in that Scientology family.) Ben actually BLAMED Scientology for many of his problems. He said it “messes you up.” After he died, his devastated mother Lisa Marie and the rest of his family split from Scientology. He was buried at Graceland.

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!)

LISA MARIE PRESLEY AND MICHAEL LOCKWOOD: THE BATTLE BEGINS

Lisa Marie Presley, 52, and her ex-husband, musician Michael Lockwood’s custody battle might turn out to be as tawdry as Johnny Depp’s court battle with Amber Heard, with both of them revealing embarrassing details about the other. In the past Lockwood has accused Lisa of “snorting so much cocaine that she stayed wake for eleven days straight.” Lisa Marie retaliated by claiming she found child pornography on Lockwood’s computer. Their 11 year old twins Harper and Finley were temporarily taken into child custody, while both parents were investigated. Lisa has been treated for substance abuse and the court could find no solid evidence for either claim. Now they are back in court fighting over the twins and money. Lisa arrived to court still looking wan and devastated by the death of her son Benjamin. Michael (above) was dressed to kill. And so it begins…(By the way, HE’S still a Scientologist and she is NOT.)

ELVIS’S GRANDSON WAS CURSED WITH MORE THAN HIS LOOKS AND ADDICTIONS

It seems that Scientology probably had a lot to do with Benjamin Keough’s recent suicide. The 27 year old was raised in the church until his mother Lisa Marie left in 2014 and some say he paid the ultimate price for that involvement. The church does not recognize mental health issues or treatment – the kind of problems that run in his family. Ben was recently in rehab for alcohol and drugs and had a group of friends over to his mother’s luxurious Calabasas house the night he died. (Lisa Marie was not there.) At 3:30 AM there were screams and Ben’s girlfriend Diana Pinto (above) was heard pleading with him NOT to do it. Police reported that he died from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.

SUICIDE: ELVIS PRESLEY’S LOOKALIKE GRANDSON

So sad that Lisa Marie Presley’s son Benjamin Keough, 27, committed suicide in Calabasas. Imagine what it must have been like to be born Elvis Presley’s grandson, and also bear a striking resemblance to him! Certainly there were high expectations for Benjamin and he aspired to be a musician at one time. We get the feeling that Lisa Marie suffered from depression – and probably her father did also. Runs in the family. Eventually Lisa pulled herself together and quit Scientology – a radical move. It’s a family tragedy.
