Linda Thompson promotes her book about Elvis Presley




In Thompson's new memoir, A Little Thing Called Life, excerpted exclusively in this week's issue of PEOPLE, the actress and songwriter reveals that Presley's then-9-year-old daughter, Lisa Marie, was the one who told her of the singer's death, just eight months after their breakup.

Answering the phone at her Los Angeles apartment, Thompson heard a breathless Lisa Marie on the other end. " 'Linda!' " Thompson recalls Lisa Marie saying. " 'My daddy's dead!' "

The star says she was "frozen by a dread of acknowledging the truth." In shock, Thompson blindly rebutted Lisa Marie's revelation, but the young girl insisted, " 'Yes, he is! He smothered in the carpet!' "
The 66-year-old says Lisa Marie told her she was the first person she called.

Paris Jackson says Michael Jackson truly loved Lisa Marie Presley

Image
From Rolling Stone  In her first-ever in-depth interview, Michael Jackson's daughter discusses her father's pain and finding peace after addiction and heartache "They always say, 'Time heals,'" she says. "But it really doesn't. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of 'OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.' So going forward, anything bad that happens can't be nearly as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it." Michael still visits her in her dreams, she says: "I feel him with me all the time." On her right wrist is a rope-and-jade bracelet that Michael bought in Africa. He was wearing it when he died, and Paris' nanny retrieved it for her. "It still smells like him," Paris says. She's also sure that Michael loved Lisa Marie Presley , whom he divorced two years before Paris' birth. "In the music video 'You Are Not Alone,' I...

A VERY Pregnant Imelda May live on stage in Paris

SHE may be counting down to B Day, but Dubliner Imelda May showed no sign in Paris last night of putting her feet up just yet. The 37-year-old Liberties singer, who is six months pregnant, performed a full set as part of her Mayhem tour, having played a stormer in prestigious London’s Royal Albert Hall last week. “There’s a little bit more of me tonight,” the singer joked with the audience as she proudly showed off her bump, draped in a figure-hugging, hot-red dress with leopard-print bodice. However, her impending rockabilly baby doesn’t hinder the Dubliner’s performance one iota who was joined on stage throughout by her guitarist husband Darrel Higham. The couple, who are married ten years, announced in February that they are expecting a baby. Apart from a craving for oranges, the Liberty Belle has had a smooth pregnancy and has pledged to continue touring during her pregnancy. She has played dates across the UK in recent weeks with sold out performances in Cardi...
