All is really well in Elvis‘ family based on these new pictures of Priscilla Presley and her granddaughter Riley Keough!

Following their nasty feud, the pair proved that things were OK between them again as they were seen at a family dinner together on Wednesday night. According to Dailymail.com, Priscilla, Riley, and 14-year-old twins Finley and Harper Lockwood went to Nobu Malibu in California.

This sighting comes after Riley and Priscilla fought over Lisa Marie Presley’s will following her tragic death. The 78-year-old questioned a 2016 amendment to the will, which removed her and former business manager Barry Siegel as the co-trustees and replaced them with Lisa’s own kids. Bu since Benjamin Keough passed away, Riley ended up being the sole trustee.

It caused a “lot of chaos” in the family, as the Daisy Jones & The Six actress put it to Vanity Fair. But things worked out in the end after Riley agreed to pay her grandma $1 million and covered her $400,000 legal fees to become the sole trustee:

“There was a bit of upheaval, but now everything’s going to be how it was. Anything that would suggest otherwise in the press makes me sad because, at the end of the day, all (Priscilla) wants is to love and protect Graceland and the Presley family and the legacy.”

Things seemed intense between the family members for a while, so it’s great they are in a good place again. But if you ask Priscilla about the situation, she says it was nothing more than “publicity!” Hmm.

Whether or not Riley and Priscilla agree on what went down between them, they seem to be moving on from the drama – enough to hang out with each other again! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below!

Could Kourtney Kardashian have just quit filming the fam’s Hulu reality show?? And in the middle of a season, no less?!

Fans are starting to wonder about that after the third episode of Season 4 of The Kardashians dropped on the streaming service on Thursday. The 44-year-old barely appeared in it, and hasn’t really appeared in most of the season so far — save for that massive phone fight with sis Kim Kardashian.

In the newly-released third ep, the Lemme lead only takes part in a brief confessional clip. In that, she speaks about the dynamic of a sisterly relationship. But then… that’s it! The rest of the ep focuses on Kim, sis Khloé Kardashian, and family matriarch Kris Jenner. Heck, even Scott Disick has a long on-air run in the latest ep! But Kourt?! Nnnnnope!!

Related: Kourtney Reveals She & Travis Barker Conceived Child Naturally After Quitting IVF!

Over on X (Twitter), fans are starting to notice. Here are a few of the comments that have picked up on Kourt’s interesting and observable lack of air time from the fam’s latest streaming content:

“Still no my Kourtney in next week’s episode? Boring”

“Kourtney could really have her own show called The Barker Bunch with her blended family and stepchildren music aspirations.”

“Ok but did they dock Kourtney’s pay for this season? because she ain’t done a damn thing yet.”

Over on Reddit, users of the r/KUWTK sub, which has migrated over to the new show, have been pondering the same thing for the last week:

“Maybe she sees no need to share more, the production in not forcing her and only upsets her sisters, so, bring it on. No?”

“the cabo trip was a glimpse into what the show would be like without her and… idk if the rest of them could carry it without her”

“Like if the show is affecting her mental health this much… surely she could find another income stream like flipping houses or smth”

“I bet once she has her kid she’ll quit the show or at least scale back her hours. I don’t see her continuing full time.”

Intriguing… Of course, this is just fan chatter, right? Just viewers wildly speculating?

Buuuut here’s the thing!!! On Thursday, In Touch Weekly dropped a bombshell report in which an insider claimed Kourt is going to quit The Kardashians for good once she and husband Travis Barker have their baby!! The mag’s mole reported:

“Kourtney’s tired of the drama and fighting with Kim. She’s made her position clear: She wants to quit the show after the baby comes. … Her heart’s not in it anymore.”

Damn!!

Can’t say we’re surprised, really. At least not with the angle regarding Kim. But still, that would be BIG news… if it actually happens. But what’s different this time when compared to last time around, when the fam was filming KUWTK for cable TV and Kourt was getting fed up?? To put it simply: it’s Travis! He could be a big difference maker. The source said:

“She’s very protective of her relationship with Travis. She resents the expectation that they should have details of their life splashed on TV without consulting her first.”

Makes sense! But will that really lead to the Poosh founder outright quitting the Hulu run?! Or maybe just pushing for a spin-off with the Barker fam??

Only time will tell, we suppose… Thoughts, Perezcious readers?!

Chris Rock is fed up with Jada Pinkett Smith!

The Red Table Talk host has been spilling a ton of tea all week promoting her new book Worthy. And, naturally, most of what she has to talk about has centered on the slap heard ’round the world — plus some other insider secrets about her own rocky relationship with Chris Rock. You know, like how he supposedly asked her out and she totally rejected him! Oof!

Now, all this chatter has left the comedian “frustrated.” (And, uh, probably a bit embarrassed, if we’re being honest.) A source told DailyMail.com on Friday about Chris:

“Chris has said his piece on the entire Will Smith slap, but now with these new revelations from Jada that her and Will have been living separate lives it is just another WTF moment in the whole saga from these past few years between Chris, her, and Will.”

Yeah… a real ‘WTF moment’ for sure!!

Related: Taylor Swift Cheers On Travis Kelce While Schmoozing His Parents!

The confidant went on to say the Selective Outrage star is specifically pissed off about Jada sharing secrets with the world, such as the fact that he supposedly asked her out several summers ago when she was rumored to be actually divorcing the King Richard lead for real:

“Chris hates that she keeps bringing it up and bringing up the other revelations about Chris asking her on a date and all of that. He is a relatively private person and was just getting to a point where people may have started to move on, but now it is back in the limelight, and it’s just frustrating that everything is coming back to the forefront.”

Sassily referencing the nasty quip the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star made after the slap, the source concluded:

“Chris is over it and would actually love for her to keep his name out of her damn mouth.”

LMFAO!

Someone is NOT happy about all this!

As for what Chris is up to amid this controversy, the Madagascar alum was spotted in Paris this week. In a video captured of him strolling the city at night, he was seen pacing around on what appeared to be a serious phone call. Take a look HERE. We wonder if he was hashing out what to do in light of all these new headlines?? Or just venting to someone close to him about this Oscars drama resurfacing?

Thoughts? Do you think he has a right to be upset like this?? Let us know (below)!

Yikes! Looks like Priyanka Chopra isn’t exactly “caught in the middle” anymore. Sophie Turner’s drawing a hard line in the sand!

It appears the once close sisters-in-law have hit a rough patch amid the Game of Thrones alum’s nasty divorce from Joe Jonas! As of Friday, the mother of two has unfollowed Nick Jonas‘ wife on Instagram — and the Quantico star has done the same! Dang!

Interestingly, Sophie still follows Nick, Kevin Jonas, his wife Danielle Jonas, AND her ex! Soooo, perhaps there is drama between Sophie and Priyanka?!?! After all, it wasn’t like the 27-year-old was cleansing her timeline of all things Jonas! This was a targeted attack!

Related: Brielle TOTALLY Wants Kim & Kroy To Get Back Together!

Earlier in the couple’s divorce, a source told Life & Style that the Citadel lead felt “caught in the middle” since she’s friends with both Sophie and Joe. Considering she was “very close” with the Brit — so close they thought they would both move their families to England together — she supposedly didn’t “want to do anything to jeopardize [Sophie and her nieces] being in her life.” But she must’ve done something if they both unfollowed each other! Right??

Publicly, the Love Again star has stayed hush-hush on the split, so it’s hard to know what could’ve occurred. The only notable thing the 41-year-old did was gush about her hubby hours after rumors surfaced that the DNCE frontman was planning to file for a legal split. Maybe the timing of the post rubbed the actress the wrong way?? Or some other s**t went down behind the scenes?

It is somewhat surprising since Jophie has actually managed to settle their child custody battle following mediation talks. Joe even filed to drop his Miami divorce filing, suggesting this chaos is over. But we guess a whole new feud is just beginning. Oof!

What’s UR take on this, Perezcious readers? What could’ve happened?! Send us your best theories (below)!

Selling Sunset is back for its seventh (!) season! The Oppenheim Group is still bringing it, y’all, and the new trailer that dropped via Netflix on Thursday is INTENSE!

As always, Chrishell Stause is the star of the show in this new two-minute clip. But instead of trying to play nice while closing a bunch of high-dollar real estate deals, the 42-year-old Dancing With The Stars alum is going after ex-boyfriend Jason Oppenheim‘s then-new (and much younger!) girlfriend, Marie-Lou Nurk!

Related: Amanza Smith Reveals She Was Two Days Away From Dying From Spine Infection!

Of course, Chrishell and the 25-year-old Marie-Lou have history. Considering the Kentucky native dated the 46-year-old Oppenheim Group head for nearly a year before splitting in 2021, there’s a lot of interconnectedness. And even though Jason has since split from Nurk in real life — and Chrishell is married to Aussie recording artist G-Flip — we are finally now seeing how Marie-Lou and Chrishell interacted on camera with this week’s new teaser. And it ain’t good!!

At one point in the trailer, Marie-Lou sits down with Chrishell for a dinner where the two of them can presumably hash out their issues. During the chat, the younger woman straight-up shares her worries about Jason:

“I just feel like maybe there’s feelings left.”

Stause turns to laugh off that worry, dismissing it quickly. And then, in a cutaway jump to a moment later on in the dinner, she says this to Nurk:

“I’m losing brain cells on this conversation.”

OUCH!!!

FWIW, Chrishell does admit elsewhere in the teaser to co-star Mary Fitzgerald that she is still trying hard to navigate the new normal — AKA working with Jason after ending their romantic connection:

“I’m really trying to figure out this balance of work and social settings.”

So maybe Marie-Lou wasn’t totally off base with her comment?? Even if Chrishell shaded the s**t out of the much-younger woman for it?!

Elsewhere in the clip, Chrishell sits for a confessional and lays out a comment about the tensions within the office:

“The gloves are probably going to come off.”

And off they come! Just like always! Er, uh, we think. We don’t get to see a ton of specifics, but Nick Cannon‘s baby momma Bre Tiesi figures to have a large role this season and is VERY prominently shown in the trailer! You can see the whole thing for yourself (below):

The seventh season of Selling Sunset premieres on Netflix on Friday, November 3, y’all. Right around the corner!!

The Cyrus family drama continues.

A video of an interview with Miley Cyrus on The Joe Rogan Experience from back in September 2020 has resurfaced on TikTok this week — and some of her comments have younger sister Noah Cyrus’ blood boiling right now! In the conversation, Joe Rogan asks the Wrecking Ball singer about her sibling’s experience growing up in her shadow — and if that has made her hesitant about having a career in Hollywood. Miley responded:

“You either go one way or the other.”

Noting that Noah “wants” to be in the spotlight, she added:

“She’s got a record out that I love called The End of Everything … and it’s the most depressing EP you’ll ever listen to. She’s 20 years old. She’s emo. She’s, like, an emo kid.”

Related: Trace Cyrus Thinks He’d Be ‘More Successful’ If He Wasn’t Part Of ‘Famous Family’

When asked if Noah felt that way because was “on the road” with Miley a lot growing up, the Hannah Montana alum agreed, explaining:

“That’s what it is. She has a song where she says, ‘My sister’s like sunshine / It’ll follow her wherever she goes / But I’m more like a rain cloud.’ You know, it’s like, she’s really got this idea of me.”

The controversial podcast host said her younger sister should “go to the doctor,” resulting in Miley opening up:

“She is. We’re all at the doctor a lot. She’s dealing with it. But she’s only 20, so I worry about her.”

As the interview resurfaced online, fans soon noticed that Noah reacted nearly three years later to the comments by her sister. And she didn’t seem to be happy about what was said about her! Screenshots circulating on social media revealed she fired back:

“The disrespect in this video…”

Oof. See (below):

Is she calling Miley disrespectful? Or Joe? Given the feud in the family following Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus’ divorce, many believe the comment was directed at the Flowers artist! One person pointed out on X (Twitter):

“She had three years to say something. She’s only saying this ’cause the family is divided between her mom and her dad.”

Another said:

“I’m confused… does she mean Joe was disrespectful or Miley or both? I feel like Miley was just being light/funny but also defending her like what.”

It’s unknown who Noah was referring to in her comment. But considering the tension between the family members lately, we wouldn’t be surprised if it was directed at Miley! What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Let us know!

Welp, so much for ending their feud!

On TV screens this week, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian appear to be mending fences after a months-long feud, but IRL the drama is just getting started!

According to a source for The US Sun on Wednesday, the sisters have a whole new feud on their hands. And this time, it has nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana or wedding woes, but… birthdays?!?! The insider spilled the tea:

“It’s Kim’s birthday in a couple of weeks – and then two weeks later it’s Kris [Jenner]’s and also Kendall [Jenner]’s, and Kim has floated the idea of a girls’ birthday trip.”

As for the timeline of things, Kim was born on October 21, with Kendall on November 3 and Kris on November 5. But Kourtney’s b-day isn’t until April, so what’s the problem?? Well, it’s actually a pretty f**king big one!

Related: Tristan Thompson STILL Calls Khloé Kardashian His Person?!?!

Kim’s birthday getaway coincides with the potential birth of her sister’s baby with Travis Barker! The confidant explained:

“However, it’s almost Kourtney’s due date and she got wind of the plan from Kris and isn’t happy.”

Understandable! Of course she doesn’t want her momma and sisters on some lavish vacation when she goes into labor! Plus, this goes back to Kourt’s claims that Kim is a “narcissist.” During the Season 4 premiere last month, the sisters were engaged in a fiery phone call in which the Lemme founder argued:

“You cannot stand someone else being the center of attention. You came to my wedding, you couldn’t be happy. You complained from the second you got there until the second you left. Forget about you couldn’t be happy, you couldn’t be happy for me. You couldn’t be happy that I was the center of attention and you weren’t. […] It is all about you. Anything you do, it’s about you and how it looks to the world about you.”

With all that in mind, this seems to be the mother of three’s main frustration when it comes to the timing of this girls’ trip, the source continued:

“Things are already so tense between the two sisters that Kourt took it as Kim trying to ‘steal the attention’ and Kim thinks Kourtney is taking it badly on purpose. The whole thing blew up way out of proportion — they can’t agree on anything at the moment.”

Damn…

Just when we thought we might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, they found something new to fight about! According to the outlet, this latest fight won’t be featured on TV, but if things are this bad when they start filming again, then we bet it’ll be mentioned. They’ve been covering their summertime feud pretty heavily, after all. As noted, this week’s episode (filmed months ago!) promises to show the sisters taking their first step toward reconciliation. But we guess it was short-lived!

Reactions?! Whose side are you on?? Sound OFF (Below)!

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian ready to forgive each other?!

In a sneak peek of Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians released on Wednesday, the sisters finally make some BIG progress in resolving their nasty fight!

The reality star sisters went at it over the summer after Travis Barker‘s wife got upset by the 42-year-old’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, which she felt copied the concept of her Italian nuptials. But what started as wedding drama spiraled into a full-fledged family feud with Kourt calling Kim “a f**king witch” in the Season 4 premiere late last month. The latter fired back by revealing the fam has a group chat called “Not Kourtney” where they vent about how much she’s changed, among other things. Pretty brutal. Despite the heated confrontation, though, it already seems like they’re ready to move forward!

In the preview, Kim can be seen on a trip to Milan for a D&G event telling her glam squad:

“Kourtney messaged me. She sent this picture of my dad in college.”

In a confessional, the SKIMS founder elaborated on the importance of the spontaneous text, sharing somewhat emotionally:

“So Kourtney texts me and I feel like it is a step in the right direction of moving past it and moving past all of the drama. I want her here.”

Aw! Kim previously invited Kourt to the dinner, which she was obligated to attend, but her sister declined. Nevertheless, Kourtney did seem ready to apologize, noting in her own confessional:

“I think we both said things that we’re not proud of. But anyone who has sisters or siblings knows the dynamic. You can get into a crazy fight and then you can send each other a funny text and everything’s all good.”

Wow!

They’re getting over this much faster than we would’ve expected, especially considering how tense things got! Check out the clip (below):

This is SO awkward, but also provides so much more context for the Oscars slap!

In a new chat with People out on Wednesday, Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her complicated history with Chris Rock, who Will Smith famously slapped during the award show last year. Not only does she have some beef with the Everybody Hates Chris alum, but he once totally admitted he was crushing on her and got brutally rejected!

She claims their problems all started in 2016, and the drama also stemmed from the Academy Awards. At the time, Jada was in support of the #OscarsSoWhite movement, calling for a boycott of the show after Will was overlooked for his performance in Concussion, among many other Black creatives. The issue? Chris was hosting that year.

Referencing her upcoming book Worthy, the Scream 2 star acknowledged:

“I talk about this in the book, I think that there might be some misunderstanding between Chris and I as far as the 2016 Oscars. I think that he might’ve taken offense, which I meant no harm in offending. That wasn’t my intention. But I do think that there’s a big misunderstanding there.”

Now, Jada admits she did “not really recognizing the level of pressure [Chris] might’ve been under” at the time, noting she could’ve done a lot more to support him while also sticking up for the cause:

“I probably should have called him and gone, ‘Hey, are you okay? And just know that although I’m speaking out about the Oscars, I do wish you the best and I just want you to know that,’ me taking the time to have called him and said that, just to touch base. But his feelings might’ve been hurt.”

But, of course, she didn’t make that phone call. And in his Netflix special Selective Outrage earlier this year, Chris took jabs at the Smiths for the controversy. Looking back, Jada said:

“All we can ever do is just look at our part and see where could I have done something that would’ve seemed as if… Whatever misunderstanding might’ve been created, what could I have done to avoid that misunderstanding? The one thing that I think about is that call.”

Innerestingly, they did have a phone call in 2016 after the award ceremony to hash it out — and she thought everything was A-OK! She dished:

“He apologized and I apologized to him as well. So I actually thought that we were good, that the hatchet was buried between us. And we hadn’t talked since then, until 2022 came.”

But after the Madagascar actor made a joke about Jada’s bald head, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum stormed the stage and hit him in the middle of the broadcast, shocking the world. Even the 52-year-old woman was confused at first:

“From where I was sitting I couldn’t tell. It didn’t look like Will hit Chris, because, number one, I’d seen Will in the boxing ring with pro fighters — Will’s a heavy-hitter. So when Chris moved, it looked like he ducked or he missed the shot. And when he continued to stand, and then when he continued to walk down to the end of the stage, I was like, ‘There’s no way. There’s no way that Will hit him.’ […] It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn’t a skit. I was in as much of a fog as anybody else in that room that night.”

She recalled trying to “keep myself grounded and settled for the people around us, and specifically for Will,” adding:

“I wasn’t quite sure what was going on. I just knew, one thing I’ve realized in everything I’ve been through is stay calm, stay clear. Just so you can keep your awareness on what is happening around you.”

After the cameras cut to commercial, she and Chris shared a moment, she revealed:

“Chris came down to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to me. He said, ‘I didn’t mean you any harm.’ I said, ‘I can’t talk about this now, Chris. This is some old s**t.’ I thought this was [about] the Oscar 2016 and … their stuff that they had before I even came into the picture in the late ‘80s. I’ve got to leave that to Will and Chris to talk about, but they got their stuff for sure.”

While she didn’t love being the punchline, she understood it’s just part of the job:

“I mean, that’s what comedians do. I would just have to say that I am not really here to make any judgment on how people decide to express themselves and express their art. I’ll say that several times I’ve had my feelings hurt, for sure. I’ve had my feelings hurt a lot by Chris. But at the end of the day, too, being in the spotlight, it comes with the territory.”

Here’s where things get VERY spicy, though!

One of the reasons Will might have been so sensitive to Chris’ remark is because Chris once tried to steal his girl! WHAT?! The author reveals in her book that the stand-up comedian asked her out when he thought the couple was divorcing! OMG! She told the mag:

“I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.”

First of all, that’s SO embarrassing for him! It could also be why Will was so touchy about Chris talking about his (pretend) wife? We say pretend because Jada just revealed she and Will have been living completely separate lives since 2016, though she hasn’t filed for divorce. While it’s unclear when exactly Chris shot his shot, she had plenty of opportunities to test things out with him if she wanted. Oof…

We don’t think the Grown Ups alum will ever be taking the Red Table Talk host out on a date, tho, since she hasn’t “talked to” him since the infamous slap! She expressed:

“[Do I have] any desire to talk to Chris? Here’s my desire: I just hope that all the misunderstanding around this can be cleared up and that there can be peace.”

She is also on her “own journey of self-worth” and is being a support system for Will while letting him figure his s**t out, as she told People:

“For a lot of years I’ve taken on a lot of responsibility thinking that I’m responsible for a lot of things that just aren’t my responsibility. Part of my codependency. […] I’m going to be by his side, but also allow him to have to figure this out for himself. [I’m] finding a way to support him without trying to take away or deal with it for him, what he has to be with.”

Every time we peel back a layer of this onion, the dynamic between this trio gets messier!

Reactions, Perezcious readers? Can you believe Chris asked Jada on a date?! Sound OFF (below)!

Well, well, well. It sounds like Meghan Markle is ready to spill some royal tea, too!

After her husband Prince Harry‘s memoir Spar, hit shelves at the start of the year, his wife has been itching for a turn to tell her story. And now, it’s seemingly coming sooner than you might expect! Royal author Tom Bower broke the news last month while chatting with GB News. As Meghan prepares to reenter Hollywood, he mused:

“My view is that she is writing her memoirs and it will be a huge money-spinner.”

First Harry, now Meg?? They’re really not done s**tting on the royal family! LOLz!

TBH, we’re not surprised. Harry may have touched on some of the mistreatment his wife faced at the hands of her in-laws, but we’re sure the Suits alum has a LOT more to get off her chest! Finally telling her story on her own terms would be a classic next step — and it doesn’t hurt that her memoir is expected to be even BIGGER than Spare!

Yes, you read that right! Royal biographer Angela Levin predicted this on Sky News Australia on Wednesday. She suggested the upcoming memoir — which Meghan has been saying she’s working on “for months” now — would be “more powerful” than the Duke of Sussex’s and include “moans and groans about how badly she was treated as a royal.” But it may also be “full [of] untruths.”

Oof…

Obviously, this isn’t what the royal family wants to hear, and they are FREAKED out! They just got through dealing with Harry’s book, and all the lies they claimed the tell-all contained. A second memoir — this time from the Duchess whom they have some complicated AF history with — is certainly NOT ideal! And, just as we’d expect, they’re not handling these rumors well!!

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Fabulous on Tuesday this turn of events has led Prince William to become incredibly “frustrated” because it prohibits him from being about to reach out to his little brother. Duncan remarked:

“William’s real headache is that he can’t get in touch with his brother without risking the contents of any conversation they have being made public. It is a real frustration for him and it totally ties him up.”

He continued:

“It isn’t just about Harry promoting his book, the podcasts or the Oprah [Winfrey] chat, but he has revealed some very personal and private family matters, like when they all rallied around the Queen’s bedside (before she died). It’s so far over the mark of what the Royals would consider acceptable and it just makes it impossible for William to trust his brother or make any move towards (a reconciliation).”

Because of the allegations Harry has levied against William, Duncan believes the brothers’ bond is irreparable:

“It’s one thing having a row with your sibling, it’s not uncommon in any family, but in this particular context, it is a constant betrayal. William can’t make that first move without Harry betraying him and breaking his confidence. There is just nothing between them anymore. William didn’t wish his brother a happy birthday publicly, where in previous years he has. It’s certainly a signal that William doesn’t want to talk about his brother, let alone to him.”

Jeez. Many insiders have been saying the same for quite some time, so we don’t see things changing soon, and definitely not if Meghan drops a memoir!
