Dolly Parton made a career-defining choice when she refused to let Elvis Presley record one of her biggest songs — and it may have made her a lifelong enemy in his camp. Standing her ground on copyright, Parton chose business over flattery, a move she calls the most important of her career.

While it cost her a collaboration with the King, it cemented her as a music industry powerhouse.

Elvis Presley wanted I Will Always Love You, but Dolly Parton wasn’t about to give it away — not even to the King himself.

Back in the ‘70s, when Parton’s heartfelt ballad was climbing the charts, Presley expressed interest in recording it. For Parton, it was a dream come true.

In 2022, Baz Luhrman gave us the electric, excessive musical biopic "Elvis," charting the iconic musician's life in a movie that embraced an almost comic book-like aesthetic. Then, in 2023, we got the much more restrained and contemplative "Priscilla," which focused on Priscilla Presley and Elvis' relationship and their 1967 to 1973 marriage.

With "Priscilla," director Sofia Coppola both romanticizes and criticizes Elvis, telling the story from Priscilla's point of view, based on her own 1985 book "Elvis & Me." Luhrman's film famously catapulted Austin Butler to mega stardom, while Coppola's film starred Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla and Jacob Elordi as the King. While the two films couldn't be more different in terms of tone, there are as you might expect several similarities.

One of the smaller but still important examples is the nickname "Satnin," which Elvis uses in both movies. The Elvis History Blog...

Let’s be honest—how many times have we all gotten so wrapped up in someone else’s life, their dreams, and their wishes that we almost forget what we want for ourselves? We’re talking about love, yes, but also the kind that doesn’t always respect boundaries. For Priscilla Presley, it was a relationship with the King of Rock and Roll himself, Elvis Presley. And while she had the world at her feet, she quickly realized she was living in a golden cage.

In her memoir, Elvis and Me, Priscilla Presley painted a picture of a love that consumed her, leaving her feeling more like a ‘living doll’ than a partner. But despite the restrictions, the expectations, and the control, one thing remained true—there was no denying the intense love between them, even after their marriage ended in 1973.

The Oscars In Memoriam tribute, set to Mozart’s “Requiem in D Minor,” began with a tribute from Morgan Freeman to his “Unforgiven” and “Under Suspicion” co-star Gene Hackman. Hackman, who was 95, was found dead last week in his Santa Fe home along with his wife, Betsy Arakawa.

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Gene on ‘Unforgiven’ and ‘Under Suspicion.’ I learned he was a generous performer and a man whose gifts elevated everyone’s work,” said Freeman. “He received two Oscars. He won the hearts of film lovers all over the world. Gene always said, ‘I don’t think about legacy, I just think people remember me as someone who tried to do good work.'”

Hackman won Best Actor in a Supporting Role in 1993 for playing a sadistic sheriff in Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven.” He also won Best Actor in a Leading Role for playing a broken...

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.

A Missouri woman has agreed to plea guilty to a federal charge of mail fraud related to a scheme to defraud Elvis Presley’s family by attempting to auction off Graceland. Her plea deal, filed Tuesday, dropped a count of aggravated identity theft.

The woman, Lisa Findley, had been accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of orchestrating “an alleged scheme to defraud Elvis Presley’s family of millions of dollars and steal the family’s ownership interest in Graceland.” Her plea deal was entered in the United States District...

Why Did Nicolas Cage’s Wife Patricia Arquette Eat Garlic Before Kissing Ewan McGregor Onscreen? (Photo Credit – Wikipedia)

Nicolas Cage and Patricia Arquette were a power couple in the late ‘90s when both were reaching the heights of their careers. But in their golden era, a movie rarely lacked intimate scenes, making the presence of a smooching partner a given.

Cage and Arquette were no exception either. Like Hollywood relationships, they inevitably faced the awkwardness of filming intimate scenes with co-stars. However, they had a unique method to ensure professional boundaries remained intact — garlic.

While promoting the second season of the hit show Severance with Adam Scott, Arquette disclosed her peculiar agreement in a First We Feast video. The Boyhood actress recalled adhering to the pact when filming a kissing scene with Ewan McGregor in the 1997 thriller Nightwatch. “I’m so sorry, but I told my husband [Cage] I was going...

On the second anniversary of Lisa Marie Presley‘s death, her mother, Priscilla Presley, paid tribute in a post on social media.

Lisa Marie, the daughter of the late musical “King,” Elvis Presley, died of a heart attack on Jan. 12, 2023, at 54 years old, due to complications related to bariatric surgery. She was buried at the Graceland estate next to her father and son Benjamin, who died in 2020 by suicide.

Presley’s caption read, “I miss you more than words can say,” accompanied by a photo of Lisa Marie crouching down with a slight smile. “I wish I would hold you, talk to you, see your smile just one more time. I wish you could see how much you are still loved, how deeply you are missed by all of us who carry you in our hearts.

The post was overlayed with an instrumental version of Elvis’ 1972 hit “Always on My Mind.

Riley Keough is looking back on when her mom, Lisa Marie Presley, married Michael Jackson.

While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, the actress was asked how her life might’ve changed when Presley wed Jackson, given his immense fame. Presley was married to Jackson from 1994 to 1996, following her separation from Keough’s dad, Danny Keough. Presley and Danny Keough shared Riley and late son Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.

“Our life wasn’t crazier because that was already there. That already existed, like the press and the crazy, the paparazzi, but … I think when she saw Michael’s life, there were things that he had that she didn’t have,” Keough told host Alex Cooper.

“She didn’t have a plane at the time or things like that, and so she then was like, ‘Oh, I should have a plane and I should have this and that,...

Los Angeles was a playground for Riley Keough as a teenager, which meant that her mother Lisa Marie Presley had her work cut out for her. During an appearance on Call Her Daddy, Keough dug into her vault of secret stories and recalled one particularly chaotic night where she ended up ringing her mom from jail after being arrested for breaking and entering.

“I was grounded and she was in Las Vegas,” Keough recalled. “I had to call her and tell her to come back from Vegas and pick me up from prison.

Priscilla Presley remembered her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, two years after her death. Presley shared a touching post on Instagram in honor of Lisa Marie, who died at age 54 after suffering a cardiac arrest at her Calabasas home.

Prior to her death in January 2023, Lisa Marie Presley was working on a memoir. Following her death, her daughter Riley Keough found it prudent to complete the memoir and publish it.

To do so, she listened to a series of voice tapes left behind by her mother, and something she said in one of them encouraged her to leave an anecdote that quickly made headlines immediately the book hit the shelves.

A brand-new Netflix documentary, Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley, reveals insights into Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback Specialbut not all aspects of the international icon's history are captured in the movie. Return of the King focuses on the efforts by Presley and his team, particularly his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, to kick-start his career once more after Presley's time in the army and myriad other factors reduced public interest to a certain degree. Given this specific focus, many biographical details are absent in Return of the King.

One such aspect of Presley's life that is only touched upon in Return of the King is the acquisition of his now-famous home, Graceland. Graceland is a mansion situated on a 13.8-acre estate in Memphis, Tennessee, and it is now the final resting place of Presley and several of his family members, including his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley,...

“I just had a feeling. I don’t know,” she said. “There had been incidents before, you know, health incidents and I didn’t have the same feeling… I felt this sort of surrender in the moment and I just had a little bit of a sense.”

A few weeks ago, Riley opened up about her mother’s cause of death, which was related to complications from a surgery.

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.

While the media and critics tried to spin their relationship into something weird, Culkin has always stood by him, even stepping up as the godfather to Jackson’s children.

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.

What are your memories of having Michael Jackson as a stepfather?” Sunny Hostin asked Keough, who instantly quipped: “I had a few stepfathers.” The co-hosts broke out in laughter, as Keough joked, “You know, they would come and go. Just kidding.” Hostin asked what her memories of living in Jackson’s home were like, to which Riley replied: “My memories were — it felt very normal. I am aware that my life was not normal to other people but...

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…...
