Priscilla Presley has contested her daughter’s will following Lisa Marie Presley‘s death earlier this month, according to newly filed court documents that cite, among other reasons, a mismatched signature.

The documents, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, questioned the validity of an amendment that replaced Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees of a revocable living trust with her children Riley and Benjamin Keough.

Benjamin died in 2020, leaving Riley as the sole trustee, according to the adjustment Lisa Marie made in 2016, which her mother is now challenging.

“There are many issues surrounding the authenticity and validity of the purported 2016 amendment,” Priscilla’s court filing said, citing, among other things, the signature.

“Lisa Marie Presley’s signature appears inconsistent with her usual and customary signature; and the purported 2016 amendment was neither witnessed nor notarized.”

Priscilla asked the court to declare the change made by her daughter invalid, restoring her as a trustee.

Bon Jovi has reached a new milestone on YouTube. The video for the band’s classic track “Livin’ On A Prayer” has surpassed 1 billion views.

“Livin’ On A Prayer” was released in October 1986 and was the second hit single from their third album, Slippery When Wet.

The video, directed by Wayne Isham, was shot September 17, 1986, at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. It features the band rehearsing and performing; at one point, frontman Jon Bon Jovi flies over the crowd with the help of a harness.

“Livin’ On A Prayer” is one of many videos that predate the existence of YouTube to have landed 1 billion views. Others include Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” which reached 1 billion in July 2018, and their track “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” which reached the milestone in October 2019.

Paul Shaffer and The World’s Most Dangerous Band are reuniting for one night only on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, ABC Audio has confirmed.

The band, which played for Late Night with David Letterman from 1982 to 1993, was legally forced to rebrand to The CBS Orchestra when Letterman moved to CBS as Late Show with David Letterman. Shaffer and company will play under their original moniker on February 3, when Fallon’s in-house band, The Roots, is in Los Angeles for the 2023 Grammy Awards.

In a statement, Fallon noted, “Paul Shaffer is one of the most important musical figures in late night history. From SNL to Letterman, he’s done it all. I’m beyond honored and excited that they’re getting the band back together.”

Joe Jonas might have done something he wasn’t exactly supposed to do — he leaked a snippet of a new Jonas Brothers song.

Taking to Instagram, Joe shared a video of him creeping into the studio as Nick and Kevin Jonas are listening to an unreleased song, which he reveals is called “Wings.” The DNCE frontman noted, “Guys, we just got the mix of our new song, ‘Wings,’ and … I don’t care, I just want you to hear it.”

The groovy song lyrics go as follows: “You are the wings I need to fly away/ When you give me love/ I feel it, I feel it, I feel it/ Got me runnin’ through/ The ceilin’, the ceilin’, the ceilin’/ And my love, it never had/ A meanin’, a meanin’, a meanin’/ You gave me a reason/ You got me believin’/ You’re makin’ me say/ You are the one, the sun, the light of day.”

Kevin commented on Joe’s video using just a shocked face emoji while Nick responded with a wide-eyes emoji.

The trio have not announced when they’ll release the new song. The track is likely to be the first single off the brothers’ new album, which they previously revealed to Variety will include influences from ’70s music — namely the Bee Gees.

A title and release date for that upcoming work has not been announced yet.

Even the show’s creators still can’t believe they got Harrison Ford for Apple TV+ comedy ‘Shrinking’

(NOTE LANGUAGE) In a chat about their new Apple TV+ comedy Shrinking, co-creators Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel and Ted Lasso Emmy winner Brett Goldstein shared with The Hollywood Reporter how even they were surprised they got Harrison Ford to co-star.

Lawrence, who produces Ted Lasso and was a veteran of shows including Scrubs, noted, “I used to feel so rejected all the time that when you’d reach out to somebody you idolized or admired and it was a no, and sometimes it was a ‘F*** no.’ It hurt.” He added, “Here, the only real thing for me was how ill-prepared I was to get anything but a no from Harrison Ford.”

Goldstein told the trade, “I think it was like a joke. Like, ‘Obviously not Harrison Ford, but someone like Harrison Ford.'”

It was Goldstein who managed to snatch the big-screen idol, famous, of course, for playing an idol-snatching character of his own. “I was in London and he was filming Indiana Jones, and I suddenly get a missed call, ‘Hey, it’s Harrison Ford,'” the actor explains. “I was like, ‘What the f*** is happening?’ I went to his apartment to discuss it. And the discussion was very, very quick because he wanted to do it. I thought I’d be there to convince him. Nope.”

Goldstein admits it was a nerve-wracking moment. “Oh yeah, I’m going to meet Indiana F***ing Jones. And he was so lovely.”

“He wasn’t a diva. And when I met him, he had thoughts about how the character dressed … It wasn’t all just, ‘How do I shine?'”

Segel adds, “He does something really amazing from the moment he arrives, which is he makes you feel like a peer. He breaks down that ‘you’re supposed to be in awe’ thing real fast.”

One of the biggest stars of Bridgerton will not be returning for the show’s anticipated third season. Phoebe Dynevor played Daphne Bridgerton in the show, famously the love interest of Regé-Jean Page‘s dashing Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset.

However, on the red carpet at the Sundance Film Festival Sunday, she told Screen Rant that she’s “sadly not in season 3.”

Dynevor added, “Potentially in the future, but yeah, season 3, I’m just excited to watch as a viewer.”

The English actress also said to Variety, “I did my two seasons. I’ve done what I wanted to do with that character, and she had a great arc. If they ask me back in the future, who knows?”

Dynevor’s role was moved to a supporting one in Bridgerton‘s sophomore frame, as the storyline centered on Anthony Bridgerton’s (Jonathan Bailey) search for love and his eventual relationship with Simone Ashley‘s Kate Sharma.

Netflix has yet to reveal a release date for the hit show’s third season.

On This Day – January 30, 1969: The Beatles gave their final public performance

On this day, January 30, 1969 …

The Beatles gave their final public performance on Apple Records’ rooftop in London. In 42 minutes, the band, which was joined by guest keyboardist Billy Preston, did nine takes of five songs — “Get Back,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” “One After 909” and “Dig A Pony” — before the police pulled the plug.

The concert happened while the band was recording what would become their album Let It Be. It was released May 8, 1970, almost a month after the band’s breakup. 

Footage from the concert was used in the 1970 documentary Let It Be. In 2021, the entire performance was shown in the Disney+ documentary The Beatles: Get Back, directed by Peter Jackson.

The nearly eight-hour docuseries, which was co-produced by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon and George Harrison’s widows, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, used footage from the original 1970 documentary. The series went on to win five Emmys, including Best Limited Documentary Series.

In January 2022 the full rooftop concert was released to streaming services as a standalone album, Get Back- The Rooftop Performance.
