Elvis Presley's stepbrother believes the singer died by suicide over the guilt of having many young lovers. In a new documentary called Elvis’ Women on Prime, David Stanley alleged that Elvis "premeditated taking the medications that killed him," and he "just couldn't go on." Stanley, who was a part of the star's entourage throughout the seventies, was at Graceland on the day of Elvis' death in August 1977. He died from a heart attack due to a drug overdose. The 85-year-old claimed it was down to "love, hurt, pain, exposure — he just couldn’t take it any more" after believing it was down to his fears of reported relationships with young girls that could have been exposed in a book. "His taste for young girls, aged 15 or 16, made me sick," his stepbrother said in the series, adding that it was a "miracle" he wasn't "busted". "He got away with things most people didn’t because of his money, fortune, fame and power, charisma and magnetism. Elvis could talk the socks off you," he continued.

She said her mother realised she had a crush on the star and made a pact that if she lost weight, she would be taken to the concert. "I went on the Elvis Love Diet and lost 80lb in a year," she said, which prompted her mother to write to Elvis to explain the effect he had on her. The star allegedly invited them to meet him with his own parents, Gladys and Vernon Presley. Elvis allegedly started nibbling her ear and licking her neck. She claimed: "I told him to stop,’ and he said: ‘Oh Mrs Rowland, what is the matter with your daughter? She is not normal.'" Indy100 reached out to Elvis' estate for comment.

Taylor Swift's publicist has taken to social media to criticise the "fabricated lies" concerning rumours that the singer and ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn secretly got married. In a rare reaction, Tree Paine posted on Twitter/X responding to a post by Instagram celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi who alleged the Anti-Hero singer had a UK ceremony in 2020 or 2021 that was apparently "NEVER made legal". "I have no reason to lie, I could give a shit what she does!!!!!” DeuxMoi wrote. “I’m sorry she didn’t tell you guys about it in a song but just because she doesn’t sing about something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!!!” This discussion came after Swifties were investigating the timeline of Swift and Alwyn's breakup following the release of Swift's breakup song 'You’re Losing Me, 'after collaborator Jack Antonoff revealed that the song was written and recorded by Swift in December 2021. But it's clear Swift's publicist had enough of the rumours as she took to Twitter/X to directly respond to DeuxMoi's claims of a secret pandemic (and unofficial) wedding. "Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi," Paine wrote shooting down the rumour. "There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind. This is an insane thing to post. It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these." Of course, Swifties were quick to provide their reactions to Paine speaking out. Meanwhile, Swift attended the London premiere of Beyoncé's documentary concert film 'Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," it comes after Beyoncé attended the LA premiere of Swift's 'The Eras Tour' concert film in October.
