Michael Shannon can't get through Viva Las Vegas

Image
 If Michael Shannon hasn't proved his disrespect for Elvis YET, read this from a Billboard interview: "He took acting seriously and wanted to do better films. I still can't get through Viva Las Vegas , but he was great in King Creole. It was something he ran into time and time again: He wasn't taken seriously. Hello Ugly Elvis...the chemistry ALONE in this film....geez! Maybe Harum Scarum but Viva? No way! $ellout failed AGAIN! This just shows how much Shannon learned and studied about Elvis. And the respect he took away. ZERO POINT ZERO! TAKE THE PAYCHECK AND RUN!  That is what Jerry taught them, the hero! So let me a fellow Elvis fan school you,  Elvis' movies made so much money, they funded the biggest movies ever made. I bet $ellout didn't tell you that. And the little he told the actors about Elvis compared to the huge quantity about himself is very clear to true Elvis fans.

Lisa Marie Presley: Elvis' DIGNITY was one of THE Most Important things to him

This Elvis and Nixon movie has me so enraged. The joke, the "character" of Elvis, the Mickey Mouse, the fairy tale he is becoming. The press, the actors and the public taking jabs at him. It's heart breaking to me. I thought of this song by Elvis' daughter, Nobody Noticed It and I remembered her interview with Rolling Stone. So I dug it out and below, she talks about seeing other so called friends betray her dad. When she says they were trying to take his dignity....that hit home for me. That's exactly how I feel about this movie and the media circus. The on line comments calling him a junkie and worse, people taking this movie as true and we all know that becomes TRUTH in today's society. Elvis was so proud of the day he visited the White House. And it is killing me that actors, press and the public are calling this Bizarre, Insane, Crazy, and Ridiculous. And WORSE, they are laughing at him. As Lisa says, "You  slithering motherf*ckers have no

John Travolta helped recruit Priscilla Presley into Scientology shortly after Elvis' Death

Image
In August of 1977,  Elvis Presley died. Sylvia “Spanky” Taylor , friend and former Scientologist says John Travolta heard from Priscilla Presley , who had divorced Elvis in 1973. She had found among her ex-husband’s things various books on Scientology and admitted she was curious about them. “So John sent me over, and that’s how I recruited Priscilla Presley into Scientology,” Spanky says, and she makes it sound like Travolta was watching out for his friend, Priscilla. “Wouldn’t some people say Travolta sent you to recruit Priscilla at a time when she was vulnerable?” we asked. “Some people might say that,” Spanky answered. Spanky appeared in the HBO documentary, Going Clear about Scientology. Source: Tony Ortega

Lisa Marie Presley uses her smarts to stand up to Scientology

Image
For more than a year, Tony Ortega has been speaking with sources close to Lisa Marie Presley who tell us that the daughter of Elvis Presley has not only turned against Scientology leader David Miscavige , but has taken steps to coordinate actions designed to cripple Miscavige’s rule. Lisa Marie is using her media savvy and connections with other celebrities and other important figures inside Scientology to release explosive revelations about Miscavige , while keeping her own role quiet. The result, so far, has been the skillfully timed release of media stories that have damaged Miscavige at the same time that Scientology is in a long term decline. In Lisa Marie Presley, David Miscavige has cultivated a powerful enemy. And in this story, we explain how things got to that point. Yesterday, we described how David Miscavige’s family has been ripped apart by Scientology’s toxic policy of “disconnection,” which has left David and his twin sister, Denise Gentile, cut off f

"The album is about my life and what I've experienced recently," she told the Irish Sun. "The songs are more honest than anything before. I've gone through friendship, divorce, falling in love again, falling out of love again. I've had a rollercoaster year and I am still in the middle of it."
