Your posts have confirmed in my mind that Priscilla really is that woman we all thought she was. Poor Lisa Marie. :(

I thought there would be more stuff about the Cage marriage, including the fact that he was cosplaying her Daddy for a good part of it.

I've said it before but I think Riley (and the publisher) had to be very, very careful about a lot of things.

You're absolutely right because they were tabloid fodder during their marriage. His obsession with everything Superman and Elvis was an open joke to many outlets; like there was open speculation at the time that it was the only reason he married her, which was super shitty. It also didn't help that he dyed his hair blue black and was sporting a pompadaur at that time like The King. You would see pap pics of them in restaurants and she would be dressed normal like and he would be in Elvis drag. Mess.

Edit: My creaky memories also tell me that the tabs reported that both Danny and Michael allegedly talked to Lisa while she was dating Nic about how they thought he wasn't with her for entirely kosher reasons, and instead she went ten toes down in the relationship and married him anyway.

Yikes, that reminds me of all those pics of Francis Bean Cobain and her first husband and how he looked and dressed like Kurt.

I think MJ was asked about the marriage to Nic and he said kind of laughed and said it wouldn't last. He was in her ear for years after. Up until he made a comment in 1999 about Elvis having a nose job (which he did-Memphis mafia confirmed it on youtube) but Lisa didnt want that out, got pissed and cut him off.

I think the stuff about Nic and Elvis was overly exaggerated. Lisa has said she didnt see any obsession. And did Nic ever have enough hair to sport a pompadour? lol

I remember seeing pics of him where he definitely was trying it, lol.
