Lisa Marie Presley Begged Coppola Not to Do 'Priscilla' Movie ... Months Before Death

Published | Updated

Lisa Marie Presley was practically begging Sofia Coppola not to put her new movie about her mom and dad not long before she suddenly died -- slamming the flick as a hit piece.

The late daughter of Elvis Presley fired off 2 emails to the director four months prior to January -- when she suffered cardiac arrest and passed away -- in which she pled with her to stop down on her feature and reconsider putting it out ... which she didn't, of course.

According to Variety, which obtained the correspondence, LMP called Coppola's script "shockingly vengeful and contemptuous" ... and went on to slam the way Elvis is portrayed.

She writes, "My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative. As his daughter, I don’t read this and see any of my father in this character. I don’t read this and see my mother’s perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don’t understand why?"

Lisa added, "I will be forced to be in a position where I will have to openly say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother and this film publicly."

In response, Coppola answered ... "I hope that when you see the final film you will feel differently, and understand I’m taking great care in honoring your mother, while also presenting your father with sensitivity and complexity."

It sounds like Coppola actually toned her movie down compared to the source material it's based on -- Priscilla Presley's 'Elvis and Me' -- which apparently contained even more scandalous stories about Elvis courting the very young PP at the time ... something that has come under a lot of scrutiny in the years following his own famous death.

As we reported ... Lisa's cry for the film to be shut down echoes what Elvis' own estate said about the film as it was being worked on -- which, at the time, called it a travesty. Priscilla herself, however, was very much on board from day one ... speaking to the fracture here.

Despite Lisa Marie's ask, Coppola forged on, and now ... 'Priscilla' hits theaters everywhere this weekend. The reviews, BTW, have been fantastic -- so we'll see what the public thinks.

Lisa Marie Presley Le rogó a Coppola que no hiciera "Priscilla"... Meses antes de la muerte

Published | Updated

Lisa Marie Presley estuvo prácticamente rogándole a Sofia Coppola que no hiciera la nueva película sobre su mamá y su papá, no mucho antes de que muriera repentinamente.

La difunta hija de Elvis Presley envió dos correos electrónicos a la directora cuatro meses antes de que sufriera un paro cardíaco y falleciera, en los que le rogaba que detuviera el filme y reconsiderara suspenderlo... cosa que no hizo, por supuesto.

Según Variety, que obtuvo la correspondencia entre ambas partes, Lisa Marie Presley calificó el guion de Coppola de "escandalosamente vengativo y despectivo", y criticó especialmente la forma en que era retratado Elvis.

Escribe: "Mi padre solo aparece como un depredador y un manipulador. Como su hija, no veo nada de mi padre en este personaje al leerlo. No veo la perspectiva de mi madre sobre mi padre al leerlo. Leo esto y veo su perspectiva escandalosamente vengativa y despectiva y no entiendo por qué..."

Lisa añadió: "Me veré obligada a estar en una posición en la que tendré que decir abiertamente lo que siento sobre la película e ir en contra de ti, de mi madre y de esta película públicamente".

En respuesta, Coppola contestó: "Espero que cuando veas la película final te sientas diferente, y entiendas que estoy teniendo mucho cuidado en honrar a tu madre, mientras que también presento a tu padre con sensibilidad y complejidad".

Suena como que Coppola realmente suavizó el tono de su película en comparación al material original en que se basa -Priscilla Presley 'Elvis y yo'- que al parecer contenía historias aún más escandalosas sobre Elvis cortejando a la joven Priscilla en su momento, lo que ha sido objeto de mucho escrutinio en los años posteriores a la muerte del cantante.

Como informamos, la llamada de auxilio de Lisa para que se cancelara la película se hace eco de lo que el propio patrimonio de Elvis dijo sobre esta cuando se estaba trabajando en ella. En ese momento, se calificó de parodia. Priscilla, en cambio, estuvo muy a bordo en el proyecto desde el primer día.

A pesar de la petición de Lisa Marie, Coppola siguió adelante y ahora 'Priscilla' se prepara para llegar a los cines de todo el mundo este fin de semana. Las críticas, por cierto, han sido fantásticas, así que veremos lo que piensa el público.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Leaving Longtime Home in Seattle ... For Big Move to Miami!!!

Published | Updated

Jeff Bezos is heading toward greener pastures -- or bluer waters, rather ... 'cause he's packing up his bags and leaving the city of Seattle behind for good ... opting for Florida.

The Amazon founder billionaire announced Thursday that he and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, will be moving to Miami soon -- and he did so by posting old footage of himself in the city he's lived in for a long time ... and where he founded the iconic tech company.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Jeff writes, "Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That’s my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazon’s first 'office.'"

He continues, "My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of ’82 -- GO Panthers!) I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami."

He points out that his rocket company, Blue Origin, has its core operations facility down in Cape Canaveral as well ... so the move makes sense on that front, as he apparently wants to focus on that venture a tad bit more these days.

JB finishes with this ... "I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart."

Lauren seems to be stoked about the relocation ... she replied, "Miami 💖."

Of course, this move lines up with a recent real estate purchase he made down in the Sunshine State -- in which he scooped up his neighbor's multi-million-dollar compound in Indian Creek, FL ... a plot of land that was already next to his mansion there.

We already know the soon-to-be-married power couple like the open sea, and with them being stationed in Vice City going forward ... they'll have access to one and then some.

Bon voyage!

Florida Man Arrested for Child Abuse Allegedly Botched Cousin's Circumcision

Published

A Florida man was arrested last month after he allegedly tried circumcising his toddler cousin -- which went terribly wrong ... and which landed this guy behind bars.

29-year-old Timothoes Powell was taken into custody and booked on child abuse charges earlier in October -- all because he allegedly tried snipping his 2-year-old relative's penis while babysitting him down in Daytona Beach ... this according to the local authorities.

Here's how cops are saying it went down ... Powell was watching his young cuzzo while the kid's parents were away -- and mom and dad got a call from their nephew at one point saying he had to rush their son to the hospital because he was bleeding from his crotch.

As it turns out ... the child appeared to have been cut, and when asked about this -- Powell reportedly told police glass must've been in the little one's diaper. Upon further questioning, however, Powell reportedly said he may have pulled the baby's foreskin down too hard while trying to clean him. Of course, cops weren't buying that -- 'cause nurses said it looked like a clean cut and was far too precise to be any sort of accident like the one he described.

Cops ended up arresting with some other evidence they say they recovered -- including home surveillance footage which supposedly shows Powell acting mean to the kid ... and allegedly walking away from the boy at one point with an object in his hand. Investigators believe he may have attempted to deliberately circumcise his cousin ... and now, he's in trouble.

Powell is facing aggravated child abuse charges and is still locked up in Volusia County Branch Jail.

Big Boi's performance at a college football game went south real quick when he decided to share the stage with an owl that wasn't exactly feeling the vibe ... and tried to fly the coop, real quick!

Here's the deal, BB hit the stage in Georgia after Kennesaw State University's game with one of his pet owls, Kennesaw State's mascot is an owl, on his arm -- obviously thinking it would be the perfect crowd-pleaser. Ahhh, the best-laid plans of owls and men!

It did NOT go as planned, as you can see in the video... the owl got spooked right away during Big Boi's Saturday night performance and tried to fly away, but he was leashed to rapper's gloved right hand.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Sleepy Brown did his best to distract the crowd while Big Boi called in some help -- hopefully from a professional handler -- and the show went on, but it made for an awkward walk-out nonetheless.

He also shared a clip of him and the owl before the game and, at least backstage, it seemed chill.

Kennesaw State hasn't had a live owl mascot in a few years and its current mascot Scrappy is a costume.

Big Boi's been a lover of owls for years -- he showed off his FOUR pets during a 2019 Rolling Stone interview. You better believe he was giving Tula, Simon, Whodini and Hootie some shine!!!

TÍMIDA BAILARINA DE FONDO

La actuación de Big Boi en un partido de fútbol universitario se fue rápidamente al carajo cuando sacó un búho vivo al escenario, ¡pero el pájaro no estaba de humor y se puso a la ofensiva rápidamente!

Bib subió al escenario el fin de semana pasado después del partido de la Universidad Estatal de Kennesaw en Georgia, y como la mascota de la escuela es un búho, debió pensar que sacar a un búho de verdad sería la idea perfecta. Spoiler, no lo era.

Obviamente, las cosas no salieron según lo planeado, el pájaro se asustó de inmediato durante la actuación de Big Boi después del partido y trató de despegar, pero parece haber estado unido a él y no lo logró.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Terminó pidiendo ayuda, y, finalmente, el espectáculo continuó sin el ave nocturna.

Big Boi ha sido un amante de los búhos durante años, de hecho, hizo una entrevista con Rolling Stone en 2019 con sus pájaros mascota y pudimos notar que todos tienen nombres: Tula, Simon, Whodini y Hootie.

También compartió un clip de él y el búho en el juego de la semana pasada, pero no está claro si el pájaro era un miembro de su bandada.

'Mushroom Murders' Woman Allegedly Poisoned Ex-Husband's Family ... With Death Cap Mushrooms

Published

An Australian woman accused of poisoning her ex-husband's family with death cap mushrooms has been charged with murder ... after officials say her deadly meal killed three of the four people who ate it.

According to reports, Erin Patterson hosted the ill-fated lunch July 29 at her home in Victoria, Australia ... serving a beef Wellington dish she cooked, which is alleged to have contained deadly death cap mushrooms.

Patterson allegedly served the poisonous food to her ex-husband's parents, sister and brother-in-law ... three of them died within a week of the lunch from symptoms police say are consistent with mushroom poisoning.

Meanwhile, the ex-husband's dad was hospitalized for nearly two months with a severe illness.

On Thursday, over three months after the meal in question, Patterson was charged with three counts of murder. She was arrested Wednesday, and on Friday she's expected to appear in an Australian court.

Death cap mushroom is one of the deadliest varieties of mushroom ... and it's found in Victoria, where Patterson lives and where she served the food.

For her part, Patterson has denied any foul play ... she told cops she prepared the beef Wellington dish using fresh mushrooms from a local supermarket and dried mushrooms from an Asian grocery store in Melbourne, about 85 miles from her home.

Patterson claims she also ate the dish and served it to her two kids the next day ... though she says her kids did not want the mushrooms and she scraped them off their plates. She claims she was hospitalized after eating the dish too, with diarrhea and stomach pains.

Madre y niños ¡¡Son atrapados llevándose todos los dulces!! Todo capturado en video

Published | Updated

Una madre codiciosa está siendo criticada en Internet por dejar completamente vacío un recipiente lleno de dulces de Halloween que estaba afuera de una casa en Texas... Un atraco que la mujer llevó a cabo con sus hijos, ¡en cuestión de segundos!

Los golosos fueron capturados en la cámara de seguridad del músico Cody Tate después de que pusiera una generosa ración de dulces para truco o trato, cosa que él pudiera instalarse en su casa sin ser molestado, mientras veía la Serie Mundial.

Sin embargo, una mujer no identificada prestó poca atención a su cartel que claramente instruía a la gente a tomar solo UNA porción de caramelos.

Ustedes pueden ver en el video que ella corre al recipiente junto a un grupo de niños y todos frenéticamente agarran dulces a puñados para meterlos en sus bolsas.

Aparentemente ajena a la cámara, la mujer que creemos puede ser la madre de los niños, se ve sonriente y se cerciora de que todas las bolsas estén llenas hasta el tope. Antes de irse con su equipo, echa un último vistazo al tazón y se va.

Cody, que toca la guitarra en la banda de rock Whiskey Myers, estaba bastante devastado y publicó el video y dijo "por eso no se puede confiar en la gente", y agregó que estaba particularmente sorprendido de ver a adultos comportarse de esa manera.

De todos modos, Cody está reclamando justicia y le pidió a sus seguidores que compartieran el video para tratar de identificar a los autores, quienes, según señaló, arruinaron Halloween para todos los otros niños que no tuvieron posibilidad de tomar sus dulces.

Por suerte, no fue una causa perdida para Cody, porque un vecino de buen corazón vio el atraco en tiempo real y se acercó a reponer el tazón.

Todos recuerden... compartir es cuidar.
