Austin Butler

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!

WANNA SMELL LIKE AUSTIN BUTLER?

Thanks to his starring role as Elvis, Austin Butler is the HOTTEST thing in Hollywood and he’s suddenly BOMBARDED with offers to become the face of various fashion labels and fragrances. His industry-savvy girlfriend, model Kaia Gerber, and her mom, supermodel Cindy Crawford, are helping him negotiate the deals. Austin wants to be seen as a serious actor and may soon have an Oscar on his mantle, so he doesn’t want to risk his reputation and pose in his Calvin Klein underwear like Mark Wahlberg. But he IS tempted by the big bucks. But he  can take his time, since the offers seem to get MORE lucrative by the day.

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.

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...

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…

WHAT’S UP WITH KAIA AND PRESLEY GERBER? ANYTHING GOOD?

Last night Kaia Gerber celebrated her 21st birthday with a Hollywood party and her brother Presley (above) attended, but we hardly recognized him. The handsome 23 year old model has lost an enormous amount of weight. You can see it even more clearly in other photos (that I couldn’t afford) taken last night. And he’s trying to cover it up by wearing a heavy jacket on a hot night. His gaunt look wasn’t the only unanswered question of the night. Kaia’s boyfriend Austin Butler was nowhere in sight. In fact, they haven’t been photographed together since July. Was Austin STILL busy promoting his Elvis movie? – or is their romance kaput?

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!)

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…

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…
