Kat -- a close friend of Chester, who passed away in 2017 -- says she thinks it's dumb when bands hire new lead singers 'cause they can't capture the magic of the original. She points to The Doors replacing Jim Morrison after his death ... a move she never understood.

The 17-year-old rapper came for the haters in an IG vid Wednesday, expressing her confusion over Halsey being hailed as empowering for dropping new material the same day she talked about her "cancer" diagnosis. (Just to be clear, Halsey doesn't have cancer -- she’s dealing with both lupus and a rare T-cell disorder).

In a segment from the memoir "From Here to the Great Unknown," Lisa Marie revealed she fought to stay alive for her kids, including her twin daughters Harper and Finley Lockwood, now 16 -- and that’s why she couldn’t bring herself to say goodbye to Benjamin right away.

While Lisa Marie wrestled with the decision of whether to bury Benjamin in Hawaii or at Graceland, in Tennessee -- where Elvis is buried -- she kept him in a separate casita at her home in Calabasas, California. It worked out since California doesn’t have laws requiring immediate burial.
