Following the death of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley’s only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, last year, a legal battle ensued over Elvis’ famous Graceland property in Memphis, Tennessee. Priscilla and Lisa Marie’s former business manager, Barry Siegel, were formerly co-trustees of the estate. However, the late singer reportedly made some changes against her mother’s wishes. Lisa Marie allegedly named her daughter Riley Keough and her late son Benjamin Keough as current trustees, leading Priscilla to question the “authenticity and validity” of the amendment via a petition filed in Los Angeles. The inheritance in question was worth about $110 million at the time and included a stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE). Riley Keough is fighting for Graceland: more updates   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Priscilla Presley (@priscillapresley) Although Priscilla assured the ownership of Graceland was being sorted out amicably, recent updates on the legal proceedings claim that Riley is currently fighting off a fraudulent attempt to auction the estate off. Court documents prove that Riley stopped the property’s sale and received a temporary restraining order from the courts against the lenders. RELATED: Elvis’ Granddaughter Riley Keough Drops Jaws In New Photo Ahead Of Upcoming Movie The lending company, Naussany Investments and Private Lending, claimed that Lisa Marie used the $500 million Graceland as collateral for a $3.8 million loan via Promenade Trust, which oversees the museum. Riley responded with a lawsuit and debunked the foreclosure sale notice based on scam documents presented by Naussany last November. Riley Keough and grandmother Priscilla Presley / Instagram Priscilla Priscilla supports Riley Keough against the impending sale of Graceland Priscilla supported Riley and echoed the same goal via Instagram with a photo of Graceland captioned, “It is a scam” in bold red fonts. The 78-year-old moved to the estate when she was only 18, and even wishes to be buried there with her late daughter and “the love of my life when that time comes.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Priscilla Presley (@priscillapresley) Priscilla is also credited with keeping the property running, as she grew its value by almost 5,000 percent since Elvis died in 1977. She made Graceland publicly available in 1982, making it one of America’s most visited tourist areas and generating revenue of up to $10,000 yearly.

The season 25 finale of The Voice was a time to remember. Split into two evenings, the grand closing to a historic season was graced on Tuesday evening by a performance from singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson, but it was she who received the shock of a lifetime when Reba McEntire invited her into the esteemed Grand Ole Opry. 32-year-old Lainey splits her time between acting and singing, but since starting her career in 2011, it’s been nothing but one triumph after another, including reaching number one on the American country songs chart. Fittingly, her adoration of music began when she attended a performance of the Grand Ole Opry when she was just nine years old. Reba McEntire invites Lainey Wilson into the Grand Ole Opry during ‘The Voice’ Lainey Wilson was stunned to be invited into the Grand Ole Opry by Reba McEntire herself / YouTube screenshot During the last night of The Voice, Wilson took to the stage to sing “Hang Tight Honey.” The real treat was just waiting for Lainey, however, who just celebrated her birthday on May 19. After Wilson ascended the stage for her big performance, host Carson Daly passed the mic to the Queen of Country, Reba McEntire.

I have heard that I have inspired you in what you have done so far, and I am thrilled to death if I have had anything to do with your career because you are blowing it up.” McEntire went on, “I was so proud of you at the ACMs the other night and I couldn’t be more proud to be the one that helps you continue to bridge the gap between our generations. I’d like to be the person to invite you to become an official member of the Grand Ole Opry.” More milestones to come During The Voice, Lainey cited McEntire as a huge source of inspiration throughout her career / Laura Farr/AdMedia By that point, Lainey grew visibly emotional. This only continued when McEntire herself presented Wilson with a custom belt buckle decorated with the words “Opry Lainey 2024.” Around her, the audience and judges showered Lainey in applause. When she was able to speak again, Lainey exclaimed, “Holy moly! That’s a birthday gift right there!” She then recalled the time when she was only nine, seeing “Bill Anderson, Crystal Gayle and Little Jimmy Dickens” at the Grand Ole Opry for the first time. For Wilson, that moment represented a love for music at first tune. She dreamed of singing at that venue since she was nine / Debby Wong/AdMedia “I knew that I wanted to play there,” shared Wilson, “I wanted to do it.” She added, “And it is so crazy that you are asking me to be a member because I look up to you so much. I’m not talking about just musically, but the way that you carry yourself and your work ethic. You inspire me every day.” That inspiration has seen Lainey win seven Country Music Association Awards, including 2023’s Entertainer of the Year. She also has six Academy of Country Music Awards and a Grammy Award to her name.

There are millions of asteroids floating around the solar system. With so many of them, it should be no surprise that some are weirdly configured. A recent example of one of these weird configurations was discovered when Lucy, NASA’s mission to the Trojan asteroids, passed by a main-belt asteroid called Dinkinesh. It found that Dinkinesh had a “moon” – and that moon was a “contact binary”. Now known as Selam, it is made up of two objects that physically touch one another through gravity but aren’t fully merged into one another. Just how and when such an unexpected system might have formed is the subject of a new paper by Colby Merrill, a graduate researcher at Cornell, and their co-authors at the University of Colorado and the University of Bern. The paper, in particular, looks at when the system might have formed and does so through modeling. A theory in asteroid formation called the binary Yarkovsky-O’Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack effect, which, since no one wants to say the full name, is shortened to the acronym BYORP. This model explains how binary asteroid systems happen in the first place.  Essentially, the asteroid speeds up its rotation due to radiation pressure. Eventually, due to those rotational forces, it gets to a point where its gravity is no longer capable of holding all of its material on its surface, and some of that material is ejected out into space, eventually coalescing into a “moon” for the slightly larger asteroid. Video from NASA Goddard showing the image from Lucy that found Selam.Credit – NASA Goddard YouTube Channel Dinkinesh isn’t a “large” asteroid by any measure – at its widest point, it only measures about 790 meters in diameter. It’s also named after the Amharic word for Lucy; the fossil remains of a potential human ancestor found in Ethiopia and the namesake of NASA’s mission. Its satellite, Salem, is the Amharic word for “peace,” but another fossil set found in 2000 which, though that of a child, predated Lucy’s by 100,000 years. But it is even smaller than Dinkinesh – only about 220 m at its widest point. But Selam actually has two widest points because it is shaped in what is technically called a bilobate but is more commonly thought of as a “dumbbell” shape. This might be partially due to another force that influences the formation of asteroids—tides.  Traditionally, people think of tides as caused by our Moon moving around the Earth. However, tides can also happen on the insides of asteroids when there is a gravitational force on a small body by an even smaller one that happens to be nearby. For example, Selam induces tides on Dinkinesh, and understanding how the two developed together requires understanding how those tidal forces played out. Close up of Dinkinesh & Selam from Lucy.Credit – NASA/Goddard/SwRI/John Hopkins APL/NOIRLab/Brian May/Claudia Manzoni Modeling both tidal forces and the BYROP acceleration process is complex mathematically. This is especially true because the inputs to the equations used to model them contain plenty of uncertainties. Luckily, there is a mathematical technique to help with that. The Monte Carlo method uses statistics to find a “correct” answer by varying the inputs to equations and randomly sampling the results. The authors used this technique to determine how long the Dinkinesh / Selam system had been in orbit around each other, using inputs like each object’s sizes and orbital speeds. They came up with an answer of between 1 and 10 million years – not very long in the grand scheme of the solar system’s evolution. Given that binaries are thought to make up at least 15% of near-Earth asteroids, and contact binaries make up between 14% and 30% of small bodies that are still larger than 200 m, studying these kinds of unexpected systems could prove fruitful in understanding how asteroids more generally are formed. As the paper mentions, more work is needed, especially an analysis of the craters present on Selam, which could provide an alternative view of its age. Given that we only just discovered this binary system by chance in November 2023, that data, and much else from the Lucy mission, will doubtless be forthcoming soon.
