El papel de Jacob Elordi como Elvis Presley en la nueva película de Sofia Coppola está dando mucho que hablar y eso es probablemente porque se metió muchísimo en el papel...

El actor británico reveló recientemente en una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly que se sumergió en el personaje de una manera muy singular, a saber, comiendo una gran cantidad de tocino.

Durante la mesa redonda, Coppola señaló que Elordi comía un montón de tiras de carne de cerdo en el set, lo que el actor confirmó señalando que al parecer bajaba alrededor de una libra al día mientras trabajaba.

Parece que esta técnica surgió de algo que la propia Priscilla Presley les contó sobre su difunto exmarido y su comida preferida. Ahora, en cuanto a cómo todo este tocino atiborrándose afectó a Jake, dice que se puso bastante pesado, aunque tiene la suerte de que nunca se notó realmente.

Es interesante, pues el enfoque de Elordi para interpretar al cantante (básicamente, la obstrucción de sus arterias, al igual que como lo hizo Elvis, al parecer) difiere significativamente de la estrategia de Austin Butler, que continuó utilizando su voz de Elvis mucho después de que las cámaras dejaran de rodar.

El compromiso de Austin Butler con su actuación fue elogiado por algunos y ridiculizado por otros.

Curiosamente, parece que la interpretación de Elordi podría ser más precisa que la del propio Elvis Presley, al menos según Coppola, quien (en esta misma entrevista con EW) dice que Priscilla le dijo después de una de las proyecciones que la voz de Jacob sonaba igual a la de Elvis.

Priscilla está recibiendo críticas muy favorables, pero no está exenta de polémica. Mientras que la película de Butler era una brillante diapositiva de Wikipedia sobre la vida del Rey, este proyecto se centra más en la relación de Elvis y Priscilla y cómo llegaron a estar juntos.

Es un poco complicado. Elvis cortejó a Priscilla cuando ella era una adolescente y ha habido un montón de ojos sobre ello en el último tiempo, algo que la difunta Lisa Marie Presley protestó antes de morir.

En cualquier caso, la película está en los cines ahora y está recibiendo un montón de comentarios.

A los herederos de Elvis tampoco les gusta la caracterización que Coppola hace del icono, pero la propia Priscilla ha estado de acuerdo desde el primer día. Todo el filme se basa literalmente en sus memorias.

Las mentes más suspicaces pueden discrepar sobre el legado de Elvis después de esta película.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac is addressing the speculation surrounding her boobs once again -- adamantly denying she got any work done ... claiming it's just the result of weight gain.

The social media star -- who boasts nearly 4 million followers on Instagram alone -- was interacting with fans on Wednesday ... when she was asked if she's fed up with people asking whether she got implants.

As it turns out, Paige says it's not annoying -- she actually understands why people would be curious ... saying, "No, because they've actually gotten a lot bigger."

"So, I can see a lot of people being confused by like, [how they were] when I first started this."

Paige -- who went on to say she's "always had a chest, but not like this" -- explained her boobs get bigger and smaller whenever her body type changes ... and there's nothing more to it.

"It's just ... the human body is a magical thing."

The former Maxim Sexiest Woman Alive has a history of getting candid about her body -- as we previously reported, she once had to delete comments on one of her posts to combat the idiots who were shaming her weight.

Britney Spears Suffered JT-Induced Panic Attack ... Before Awful 'Gimme More' Performance at VMAs

Britney Spears says a brief run-in with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake triggered a panic attack before her infamously bad 2007 MTV VMA performance.

Britney was set for a big return to the stage that night with her song "Gimme More" ... but was caught off guard when she saw JT at the show.

britney spears Getty

In her new memoir, "The Woman In Me," Britney recalls the interaction, writing ... "It had been a while since I'd seen him. Everything was going great in his world. He was at the top of his game in every way, and he had a lot of swagger. I was having a panic attack."

Britney says she "hated the way I looked" ... because "It was less than a year since I'd had my second baby in two years but everyone was acting like my not having six-pack abs was offensive."

What's more, Britney admits she hadn't rehearsed enough and knew the performance "was going to be bad." She says "nothing was going right" backstage ... claiming there were problems with her costume and hair extensions. She says she didn't sleep the night before, and was feeling dizzy.

Britney continued ... "I couldn’t believe I was going to have to go out onstage feeling the way I felt." She says she went out and tried her best, admitting it wasn't up to par for her.

She added ... "I could see myself on video throughout the auditorium while I performed; it was like looking at myself in a fun-house mirror."

JT, on the other hand, was on the other end of the spectrum in Britney's eyes.

She says, "Justin glided down the runway. He was flirting with girls in the audience, including one who turned around and arched her back, shaking her breasts as he sang to her."

Britney's performance was one for the ages, but not in a good way ... and looking back on it with her new insights is pretty revealing.

Britney Spears dice que un breve encuentro con su ex novio Justin Timberlake le provocó un ataque de pánico antes de su infame actuación en los MTV VMAs de 2007.

Britney estaba lista para su gran regreso a los escenarios esa noche con su canción "Gimme More", pero fue sorprendida con la guardia baja cuando vio a Justin en el show.

Britney en los VMAS Getty

En sus nuevas memorias, "The Woman In Me", Britney recuerda el momento: "Hacía tiempo que no lo veía. Todo iba genial en su mundo. Estaba en la cima de su juego en todos los sentidos y era fanfarrón. Me estaba dando un ataque de pánico".

Britney dice que "odiaba mi aspecto", porque "Hacía menos de un año había tenido mi segundo bebé en dos años y todo el mundo actuaba como si el hecho de que no tuviera abdominales de six-pack fuera ofensivo".

Es más, Britney admite que no había ensayado lo suficiente y sabía que la actuación "iba a ser mala". Dice que "nada iba bien" entre bastidores, afirmando que hubo problemas con su vestuario y sus extensiones de cabello. Ella dice que no durmió la noche anterior y se sentía mareada.

Britney continuó: "No podía creer que iba a tener que salir al escenario sintiéndome como me sentía". Ella dice que salió y lo intentó lo mejor que pudo, admitiendo que no estuvo a la altura.

Añadió: "Podía verme en video por todo el auditorio mientras actuaba; era como mirarme en un espejo de feria".

Justin en los VMAS Getty

Justin, por su parte, estaba en el extremo opuesto de la situación.

Ella dice: "Justin se deslizaba por la pasarela. Coqueteaba con las chicas del público, incluida una que se dio la vuelta y arqueó la espalda, sacudiendo los pechos mientras él le cantaba".

JetBlue Plane Tips Back On Its Tail!!! Scary Weight Shift at Gate

Play video content A LITTLE TIPSY

In the immortal words of Fat Joe ... a JetBlue airplane leaned back -- way back -- while parked at JFK Airport, tipping onto its freakin' tail as passengers were exiting!

The wild scene played out Sunday night at the NYC airport -- the Airbus A321-231 popped a wheelie, unintentionally, after landing from Barbados ... delivering a major shock to passengers and crew.

jetblue plane

The plane's tail tipped backward "due to a shift in weight and balance during deplaning," according to JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski ... who told NY Post the aircraft eventually came back down to its normal level.

He added there were no injuries in the rare incident ... and the company's currently investigating what happened and has taken the plane out of rotation for inspection.

Citizen App

For those unaware, pilots often calculate the weight and balance before every flight to determine the plane's center of gravity -- looking at things like the total weight of passengers and luggage, so it's unclear what was in the back of the plane that made it flip.

Kelly Clarkson Lookin' Incredible After Divorce ... Fans Go Nuts with Theories

Kelly Clarkson sent fans into a frenzy after looking incredible, appearing to have recently shed some weight ... this after last year's rough divorce from Brandon Blackstock.

The singer stunned her followers online after she showed off her slim physique with a snap last weekend getting ready to appear on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" -- rocking a black lace top and a huge smile on her face.

Fans were praising Kelly left and right in the comments, with loads of folks shouting out how fantastic she looks ... but some pointed to the potential for meds contributing -- at least, in part -- to the slimmed look.

There are a handful of comments talking about Ozempic -- one wrote, "Ozempic to the rescue!!!" and another said, "looks like you've been hitting the ozempic."

For the record, Kelly hasn't spoken out about her recent weight loss, so it's unclear if meds were at play ... but safe to say, fans love the way she looks.

Some have also called it a "revenge bod" after settling her tumultuous divorce in March 2022 -- one commenter even wrote, "Brandon Blackstock eat your heart out."

Brandon is currently getting $115k a month in spousal support, but that deal ends in January. He's also getting $45,600 monthly in child support ... and Kelly had to cough up another $1.3 mil as part of the settlement.

Los fans elogiaron a Kelly a diestra y siniestra en los comentarios, con un montón de gente gritando lo fantástica que se veía. Algunos apuntaron a la posibilidad de que las medicinas ayudaron, al menos en parte.

Para que conste, Kelly no ha hablado acerca de su reciente pérdida de peso, así que no está claro si los medicamentos tuvieron algo que ver realmente. Lo que sí es seguro, es que a los fans les encanta como se ve.

Algunos también lo han llamado un "acto venganza" después de resolver su divorcio tumultuoso en marzo de 2022, un comentarista incluso escribió: "Brandon Blackstock se está comiendo su propio corazón".

Play video content Más de 315!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger está diciendo que las afirmaciones de Donald Trump sobre su peso son puras mentiras. Aunque no está seguro de la cifra exacta, la intuición de Arnold es que Trump se quedó corto por unas 100 libras.

El actor estuvo charlando con Jimmy Kimmel el lunes por la noche en su primer programa de vuelta tras la huelga de escritores, y dado que es un experto en el tema, entró de lleno en los registros de Trump de la cárcel en donde dice que pesa 215 libras.

trump Foto policial

Antes de adivinar, Arnold le dio a Trump algunos consejos con los que podría perder peso, lo que provocó una gran carcajada en la audiencia.

Luego Jimmy le preguntó nuevamente si los registros de la cárcel del condado de Fulton de Trump podrían ser exactos o no, a lo que Arnold respondió sarcásticamente diciendo que no cree que las 215 libras puedan ser verdad. Desde su perspectiva, Trump podría haber puesto un 2 cuando realmente quería decir un 3.

Como saben, Trump se entregó a las autoridades del condado de Fulton a fines de agosto tras ser acusado de presuntos esfuerzos por anular los resultados de las elecciones de Georgia en 2020.

Los registros revelaron que el tipo, de 77 años, medía 6'3 "y pesaba 215 libras.

En una noticia relacionada, Trump y su equipo legal hicieron un encargo de McDonald's este lunes, que llegó hasta un tribunal de Nueva York, donde se encuentra actualmente en juicio por su caso de fraude civil de $250 millones.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling BS on Donald Trump's reported weight ... and while he ain't sure what the former prez's exact poundage is, Arnold's eyeballs tell him Trump missed the mark by about 100 pounds.

The actor was chatting with Jimmy Kimmel Monday night on the host's first show back since the writers' strike ended ... and since he's all about fitness, Arnold weighed in on the topic of Trump's booking records claiming he's 215 pounds.

Before he took a guess, Arnold gave Trump some advice on how he could lose weight -- a decent one-liner about going for a jog which got a big laugh from the crowd.

Jimmy asks again if Trump's Fulton County jail records are accurate when it comes to his size ... and Arnold has some pretty sarcastic responses for the potential of 215 lbs being legit. In his eyes, Trump might've put a 2 when he really meant a 3.

As you know, Trump surrendered to Fulton County authorities at the end of August and was charged for his alleged efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.

The booking docs claimed the "Blond or Strawberry" haired 77-year-old was 6'3" and 215 lbs.
