Elvis

A TALE OF TWO ELVISES

Jacob Elordi has some tough blue suede shoes to fill in the new Priscilla film by Sofia Coppola Needless to say, Austin Butler’s performance last year in Elvis was a real knockout and some stiff competition. Butler also had a height advantage – he’s the same height as Elvis was, and Jacob, at 6’5″, is considerably taller. But from what we’ve heard, Jacob SOUNDS more like Elvis than Butler did. We shall see. Actually both actors are very attractive and seem super-nice. Model Kaia Gerber knows best – she dated Jacob not long ago and now she’s hot n’ heavy with Austin Butler. Imagine going out with TWO Elvis impersonators!

Austin Butler Elvis Golden Globes Lisa Marie Presley

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...

Barbi Doll Barbie Elvis Harley Davidson James Dean Star Trek

MORE BARBIES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED

There’s an estate sale happening in Los Angeles this weekend and we saw lots of advance photos of the stuff on sale- this was a Barbie doll collector! We had NO idea there were SO many Barbies of SO many kinds produced over the years! Some are even copies of dead movie stars. How about Barbie Loves Elvis? Or James Dean in his red jacket? Little did we know there was a Harley-Davidson Barbie doll! And how about Barbie and Ken dressed for a Star Trek mission! The collection also has Barbie through the years- above you can see Barbie in the Fabulous Forties and she has rolled hair and shoulder pads. We love them ALL! And none of these dolls have ever been played with- that’s almost a shame…

KAIA GERBER AND THE TWO ELVISES

Sofia Coppola must be supremely annoyed that Baz Lurhmann released his film Elvis before she could get her Priscilla movie together. Sofia wrote her film based on Priscilla Presley’s book Elvis and Me and she is also directing. Lookalike Austin Butler was an enormous hit playing Elvis and it’s hard to imagine anyone doing it better. Priscilla and her whole family swooned over Butler. Sofia was left searching for an Elvis that could match up to Butler in any way. You might recall that Austin Butler is Kaia Gerber’s current boyfriend. Kaia’s LAST boyfriend was Jacob Elordi and HE has just been cast as Elvis in Sofia’s film. Certainly Kaia is reeling at the odd coincidence…

ELVIS DIRECTOR BAZ LUHRMANN: TOTALLY CASUAL IN TOKYO

Director Baz Luhrmann knows how to make an entrance. He arrived at the Tokyo airport and pulled down his mask so paparazzi could get a photo of him. Of course, he is in the city to promote his new film Elvis. We are happy to say that Elvis beat Top Gun: Maverick at the boxoffice this week and hopefully it will do the same in Japan. It’s apparent that Luhrmann has a sense of humor, and we imagine it must have been fun on the set while filming Elvis. Love the pink socks with loafers! Elvis would have liked them too…

Elvis Elvis Presley Graceland Guns and Drugs

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.

Austin Butler Elvis Graceland Lisa Marie Presley Priscilla Presley Riley Keough

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!)

Austin Butler Cannes Film Festival Elvis Lookin' Good!

IT’S NOW OR NEVER FOR AUSTIN BUTLER

No surprises here- Bad Luhrmann’s Elvis is a hit at Cannes and Austin Butler proved to be a hot commodity. It’s a good thing his girlfriend Kaia Gerber (not in photo) was at the film festival to keep an eye on him. In this photo Baz is wearing either an original belt buckle of Elvis’s worth about $100,000, or a knock-off. Actually the entire purpose of featuring this photo is to enjoy looking at the adorable Austin. This movie might change his life…

Elvis Riley Keough

RILEY KEOUGH: 2 REASONS TO BE AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

Who would have guessed that Elvis’s pretty granddaughter Riley Keough would become a film director? Granted, she’s an established actress, but we didn’t realize that Elvis’s offspring would turn out to be so ambitious. Actually, Riley co-directed her first film War Pony with partner Gina Gammell -and their first try got them to the Cannes Film Festival! The young directors were floored when they got a huge ovation from their audience. The film is a glimpse into the life of a young 23 year old Native American growing up on a reservation. Coincidentally, Baz Luhrmann’s film Elvis, about Riley’s grandfather, is premiering at Cannes in a few days – fortunately Riley already saw it and loves it, so she will probably stick around for that…

Austin Butler Elvis Elvis Presley Kaia Gerber

WHO IS AUSTIN BUTLER? HE’S ELVIS…

Austin Butler, 30, was photographed in New York chatting with a friend but no one paid much attention because he was not with his girlfriend Kaia Gerber. His LAST girlfriend was Vanessa Hudgens so he’s doing well in that department. Things might change next month when Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is released. Butler beat out Harry Styles, Ansel Elgort, and Miles Teller for the role of Elvis Presley. (Note that Austin is a natural blonde like Elvis was) So far, everyone who’s seen the film likes it. Priscilla Presley was invited to a private screening and she was delighted and described Butler as “outstanding.“ His life might be changing soon…
