Lisa Marie Presley's rented mansion:

'In early 2021, Presley sold the Calabasas home where her son shot himself, in a $2 million off-market deal, and moved to a rented mansion in a guard-gated enclave on the semi-remote outer edge of Calabasas. It was here that emergency services were sent after her housekeeper found her unresponsive.'

Nikki Finke's salutary advice to reporters:

“I was saying that I had gotten this great tip and that I had a really reputable first source but not a second,” Ms. Kuczynski said. “And she basically said you call five people, plant a seed in their brain and wait a day for someone else to have heard it.”

John Cale on music and his career:

'I'm sure I could've made things easier for myself, made more money or whatever, but that's not very interesting to me. It's about finding something new at every turn, if you can. I don't see the point of doing something for the sake of ease. That's not for me. I don't necessarily start out with the intention of being contrary, or "challenging," as you put it. I do have to admit I seem to end up there more often than not.'
