Elvis Presley's Final Moments With Linda Thompson Revealed
Elvis Presley's longtime girlfriend, Linda Thompson, shared a heartfelt video reflecting on the last time she saw the King of Rock and Roll alive. She recalled the deep bond they shared while also revealing how he 'lied through his teeth' during a pivotal moment in their relationship. Despite her heartbreak, Thompson's words offered a glimpse into the love and complexity that defined their long union.
The Grammy-nominated lyricist reposted a TikTok video clip to Instagram, where she spoke of the last time she saw the King of Rock and Roll alive. She shared his last words to her in November 1976.
"The last time I saw Elvis alive, he was playing the Cow Palace in San Francisco," she began. During the trip, the entertainer asked Thompson if she wanted to return to Memphis to visit her family, saying he brought his private plane for her to fly back home.
"I responded, 'Really? You brought the plane in just for me? Are you sure you didn't bring in another girl from Memphis?'" she questioned.

He responded, "'No honey. You know I wouldn't do that.' I remember looking into his gorgeous blue eyes and he was so sincere and just lying through his teeth."
It was shortly after that conversation that Thompson decided she would leave her life with Presley at Graceland behind. She admitted that Presley was likely "shocked and hurt" at her departure, but ultimately, she believes he understood.
She shared further details in the post's caption. "I was just telling this story last night at dinner to a couple of friends and co-writers from Nashville! Elvis finished by saying, 'And no matter what you may hear or read, I love you and I don't love anybody else.'"
She continued, "He even had tears in his eyes as he professed that love. There was, however, another girl in a holding pattern on the floor below in our hotel, waiting to get the OK to come up. Elvis was not monogamous in any of his relationships."
Shortly after Thompson left Graceland for good, Presley began a relationship with Ginger Alden. In January 1977, he and Alden became engaged after two months of dating.
Elvis Presley died in August 1977. He was 42.

Paramount's co-CEO Robbins to step down, memo shows
By Juby Babu (Reuters) -Brian Robbins, who helped grow the Paramount+ streaming service, is stepping down as Paramount Global's co-CEO, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday, following the completion of its merger with Skydance Media. David Ellison, the CEO of Skydance, will lead the new company as chief executive after the merger is completed by August 7. "The company is in exceptionally capable hands with David Ellison and the incoming team from Skydance," Robbins said in the memo. Robbins, who joined the company in 2017, was appointed co-CEO in April last year, along with George Cheeks and Chris McCarthy, with the three collectively succeeding Bob Bakish. McCarthy's departure was reported last month, while Cheeks will remain with the company as its chair of media, overseeing its broadcast and cable television business. Robbins was named CEO of Nickelodeon in 2018, and became the chief of Paramount Pictures in 2021. As CEO of Paramount Pictures, Robbins has overseen 17 number one releases at the box office and has overseen franchises including "Sonic the Hedgehog," "A Quiet Place," and "Mission: Impossible." After the deal closes, the company is expected to be structured into three primary business segments - studios, direct-to-consumer and TV media.

Story emerges of Sixers' Allen Iverson losing game of HORSE to rapper
Every basketball fan knows how prolific Allen Iverson was during his prime for the Philadelphia 76ers. The 6-foot guard from Georgetown was phenomenal with the ball in his hands, took home an MVP award, and lifted the Sixers to the finals in 2001. Overall, Iverson averaged 26.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds while being the smallest guy on the court more times than not. The man they called "The Answer" backed down from nobody and more often than not came out on top on the basketball court. However, even the greats take their losses. On the latest episode of The Wave's "7pm in Brooklyn", rapper Jermaine Dupri revealed that Iverson lost a game of HORSE against longtime rapper, Nelly: To his (Iverson's) defense, y'all be shooting the ball so high, and my ceiling ain't as high as the stadium. So unfortunately, a couple of times he shot the ball up it hit the Nelly was shooting like my gym was his gym. Iverson will never be able to live that down, but at the same time, losses do happen. One has to give credit to Nelly for coming out on top against one of the game's all-time greats.
