Graceland is not for sale, Elvis Presley’s granddaughter …

News /

Elvis Presley’s estate is fighting what it says is a fraudulent scheme to auction off Graceland to the highest bidder.

An auction had been scheduled for Thursday this week, but a Memphis judge blocked it after Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough sought a temporary restraining order and filed a lawsuit, court documents show.

A public notice for a foreclosure sale of the 13-acre estate in Memphis posted earlier in May said Promenade Trust, which controls the Graceland museum, owes $3.8 million after failing to repay a 2018 loan. Keough, an actor, inherited the trust and ownership of the home after the death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, last year.

Los Angeles County animal shelters in crisis from …

News /

Animal shelters in Los Angeles are in crisis from overcrowding as hundreds of animals are stuck in cramped conditions while waiting to be adopted.

The East Valley Animal Shelter in Van Nuys is one of six L.A. County shelters that are operating at over double its capacity — at around 211% full. The issue has left shelter workers overwhelmed and feeling helpless.

"The crisis is worse than ever,” said Shira Scott Astrof, CEO of The Animal Rescue Mission, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing homeless or abused animals. “L.A. city shelters are still absolutely deplorable. They are overcrowded and the dogs are suffering. There are two or three dogs in a kennel meant for one. There are crates lining the hallways.”
