Lisa Marie Unhappy Michael Jackson Owns Elvis' Material

August 08, 2003 | Music
Lisa Marie Presley isn't happy that her ex-husband, Michael Jackson, owns the rights to some of Elvis Presley's hit songs. She told Jane magazine in its September issue, "I saw a Velveeta commercial, and it was playing, I think, 'Burning Love.' He had approved it--that's something we can't control. He can do whatever he wants with the songs he owns to make money, and that got under my skin."

Presley also dismisses the idea that another former husband, actor and big-time Elvis fan Nicolas Cage, married her because she was "The King's" daughter. She told the magazine, "He is so talented and he's got an Academy Award. The notion is demeaning and completely unfounded."
