While ownership of Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate in Memphis was retained by his family following a flurry of legal filings and courtroom rulings this week, whoever is behind the company now accused of attempting to snatch the property through fraud remains a mystery.
In an 11th-hour filing last week, Elvis’ granddaughter, the actor Riley Keough, claimed in a 60-page lawsuit that the signature of her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley, was forged on a loan that held the famed home of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll up as collateral. In a Memphis court Wednesday, Chancellor JoeDae L. Jenkins halted a scheduled auction of the landmark property, stating that the sale of Graceland amounts to “irreparable harm” and blocked the auction, which was set for Thursday.

A judge today halted the foreclosure sale of Graceland, the former Memphis, Tennessee home of Elvis Presley, noting that the Presley estate could be successful in proving fraud by an investment company.
The ruling came shortly before the company trying to foreclose on Graceland issued a statement dropping its case, according to the Associated Press.
Shelby County Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins issued a temporary injunction today against the proposed foreclosure auction that had been scheduled for Thursday in Memphis. It underlines a previous restraining order issued at the request of Presley’s granddaughter, actor Riley Keough.
A public notice for a foreclosure sale of the 13-acre estate posted earlier in May said Promenade Trust, which controls the Graceland museum, owes $3.8 million after failing to repay a 2018 loan. Keough inherited the trust and ownership of the home after last year’s death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley.

A judge has halted the attempt to sell Elvis Presley’s iconic Graceland estate.
At a hearing that took place Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, a Shelby County judge blocked the attempted sale after Graceland had been scheduled for a foreclosure auction on Thursday.
In a hearing that lasted only eight minutes, according to ABC, Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins adjourned the sale of Graceland saying, “The notary has sworn that the notary did not notarize the signature of Lisa Marie Presley on the deed of trust, which brings into question the authenticity of the signature.”
In a lawsuit filed on May 15, Elvis granddaughter Riley Keough, the trustee of the Promenade Trust, had claimed an entity named Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC attempted to have Graceland sold off of a forged signature by her late mother Lisa Marie Presley that allowed the famed property to be held as collateral for a $3.8 million loan.

A Tennessee judge has intervened to block a planned auction of Graceland, the legendary home of music icon Elvis Presley.
The decision comes amid a complex legal dispute between Presley’s granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, and a company that claimed ownership of the property.
The saga began when the company Naussany Investments alleged that Presley’s estate had failed to repay a $3.8 million loan, for which the Graceland compound had been used as collateral. Naussany Investments planned to sell the property at an auction this Thursday.
However, Keough, who inherited Graceland and much of Presley’s estate after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died last year, contested the legality of the loan paperwork. She claimed her mother’s signature had been forged and the loan agreement was fraudulent.

Actress Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis Presley who inherited the iconic Graceland estate when her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, passed in 2023, is now tasked with fighting its possible foreclosure.
Update: A judge granted Keough’s request for a preliminary injunction that will block a foreclosure until the case can be heard.
According to documents filed in the Shelby County court system, Keough is pushing back against a claim from a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending, which states that her mother took out a loan of $3.8 million with Graceland as collateral. The firm now claims that Lisa Marie defaulted on the loan in early 2023, prior to her death. Keough believes that signatures on the loan were forged.

Find a place to display your beaver prominently and order some Titan condoms from Amazon because Pamela Anderson is joining Liam Neeson for The Naked Gun reboot. While today’s Deadline article fails to mention who Anderson is playing, we assume she’ll play the romantic lead opposite Neeson’s Frank Drebin Jr. Lisa Marie Presley played the love interest of Leslie Nielsen’s Lt. Frank Drebin in the original comedy film, resulting in some unforgettable and hilarious moments and sight gags.
After filming 110 episodes of the jiggly action TV series Baywatch, Pamela Anderson is no stranger to comedy. In addition to running in slow motion alongside David Hasselhoff, Yasmine Bleeth, Jeremy Jackson, and more, Anderson starred in Scary Movie 3 and Superhero Movie. The Naked Gun reboot carries a lot of pressure from fans of the Leslie Nielsen-led trilogy, but I’ve got a great feeling about this inspired casting choice.

TikToks of teens visiting Graceland with remixes of “Viva Las Vegas” and “Suspicious Minds” swept the For You Page.
Later that year, writer and director, Sofia Coppola, revealed on her Instagram page that she would soon begin production on ‘Priscilla’. This film would be based on the book Elvis and Me, written by Elvis’ wife, Priscilla. Set pictures soon leaked of Jacob Elordi, of ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Saltburn’ fame, playing the King of Rock and Roll.

Elvis Presley‘s Graceland is one of the most iconic private homes in the United States. For 42 years, the King of Rock and Roll’s private residence has been a mecca for music fans worldwide. However, some of the home’s most iconic rooms weren’t always open to the public and were considered off-limits to tourists. Here are the areas within Graceland that fans didn’t get to see.
Graceland’s downstairs area was open to fans except for two rooms
When Graceland opened for public tours in 1982, only some areas of the home were viewable. Initially, the mansion tour consisted of the living room, music room, dining room, TV room, pool room, and the trophy building.
The trophy building consisted of his gold record collection, awards, costumes, gun collection, and several other pieces of memorabilia. Fans were able to see Elvis Presley’s cars and motorcycles, which were lined up in the carport.

Elvis Presley‘s “Don’t Cry Daddy” doesn’t sound like a political song. However, it was inspired by a dark day in American history, specifically an event from the Vietnam War. The writer of the song said the tune was inspired by some disturbing footage he saw on television.

In contrast, one of Elvis’ girlfriends recalled Davis getting offered the song first.

Director Sofia Coppola scrubs at tarnished memories for the biopic Priscilla. It’s a bold choice since Elvis Presley disciples prefer admiring unvarnished relics in a still-flourishing golden hue. The film’s primary source and title character, Priscilla Presley, has offered no apologies for her time with the mythological musician, just the facts as she remembers them. These recollections do not diminish her love of the man who came to define her existence, but they cloud his legacy to this day.
“Why are you coming for my dad and my family?” Elvis’ daughter Lisa Marie Presley wrote Coppola after reading an early draft of the screenplay, as per Variety. “My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative,” the provocative emails insinuated. “As his daughter, I don’t read this and see any of my father in this character.

Priscilla Presley is mired in a legal battle with a company that claims it has the exclusive right to exploit her name, image and likeness.
Priscilla Presley Partners (Ppp), a firm started by Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko, claimed that it helped broker a deal for the A24 movie adaptation of Presley’s memoir — as well as a settlement of an estate dispute challenging the will of her late daughter, Lisa Marie — and has sued to enforce its rights.
The company alleges breach of contract against Presley — who allegedly was months away from bankruptcy before it started managing her business affairs — for reneging on their agreement to partner with Keya Morgan, Stan Lee’s former business manager charged with multiple counts related to elder abuse against the comic book legend.
A judge on Monday scheduled an evidentiary hearing to assess whether Presley can be sued in Florida state court.

In James Cameron’s Titanic, as the ocean liner plunged deeper into the Atlantic’s icy waters, First Officer William Murdoch drew his gun. Passengers were pushing for spots in what few lifeboats the ship had to offer, and Murdoch was struggling to keep order. Panicked, he fired into the crowd. An Irish worker, Tommy Ryan, collapsed to the floor, cradled by a friend as he bled to death on the sinking deck. Realising the horror of what he’d done, Murdoch gave one last nautical salute to a nearby colleague before turning the gun on himself.
