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. People

This was posted on August 2, 2016. One fan suggested to me that the fans create their own human chain and STOP THIS! I was understanding to the frustration of the Memphians but this....changes things for me. This is just T-R-O-U-B-L-E! Elvis loved Memphis so much. He would be heartbroken by this. Be Alert, be safe! Fans and tourists should not have this fear on vacation! You can't expect tourists to come from around the world and spend MILLIONS of dollars yet be in fear. Memphis is cutting off it's nose to spite it's face! Leave Elvis outta this! He loved Memphis! Although born in Tupelo, he considered Memphis HOME. He could have moved to Hollywood but he stayed in Memphis because he loved Memphis! This would truly break his heart.

Look Ma, No Elvis! Not Elvis TV Screen Another TV Screen Still No Elvis Headless Elvisish Artwork Back in April, I told you about a rumor I heard from a very reliable source that there will be NO photographs of Elvis in the hotel. I was told the reason is, they would have to pay licensing fees to Joel to use Elvis' image. Judging by the photos above, it looks like that rumor is sadly true. Not ONE photo of the King of Rock n Roll in the hotel lobby or the rooms. The photos on the wall in the rooms are artwork of jumpsuits, HEADLESS Elvisish figures. Let's hope the fans speak up and this changes. Elvis needs a presence at the hotel. We have to stop allowing him to become a Mickey Mouse or Santa Claus character. Elvis built this empire and the MAN deserves a presence in the hotel. http://backinmemphis.blogspot.com/2016/04/should-siriusxm-elvis-radio-be.html

The National Enquirer claims the 48-year-old has entered rehab and is seeking treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at a Los Angeles facility. A source told the Enquirer that Lisa Marie has spent $400,000 on a 'private detox team'. The insider alleged: 'Lisa Marie just fell off the wagon over the past couple of years and needed serious help in getting her life back on track again.' Lisa is allegedly receiving visits from her mother Priscilla every day, and the source said she 'has the full support of her friends and family.' The insider added to the Enquirer: 'It's not going to be easy, but Lisa Marie is determined to get back on track.' BIM: There is always "some" truth to these reports but here's what I think, it's not Lisa who is in rehab. Let's remember someone else had a heart issue in Franklin, TN months ago. And Lisa is seeking full custody of her children with supervised visits to her spouse. L...

Sal Governale performs Elvis Presley's The Wonder of You during a prostate exam for a bit on the Howard Stern Show called Prostate Karaoke. Howard says, "Thank God Elvis isn't alive to hear this!" His song choice was "The Wonder of You" by Elvis Presley, a song he once danced with his mother to at his wedding. He managed to keep singing throughout his exam and got rave reviews afterwards from Dr. Fisch. "He's got a great prostate," Dr. Fisch said of Sal, adding that his prostate was only 19 grams. "Bladder is perfect.""It's an indescribable feeling," Sal told Howard. "It's not good. It's very odd. The only way to understand it is to do it."
