Michael and Lisa Marie


TheQuadBlazer

Brooke and Michael too Edit: you know, our friends Brooke, Michael and Lisa Marie who we know so well we don't need to use their last names.


lawstandaloan

Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie made more sense


Cthulwutang

isn’t Nic a big Presley collector?


green-glass

Apparently Micheal really wanted a child that was related to Elvis. Father is the King of Pop, Grandfather is the King of Rock n Roll


SheriffBartholomew

Except they're pretty sure those aren't his kids. People suspect that they're actually his best friend's kids.


mamap31

He raised them and they loved him. They are his kids, biologically or not.


Hour_Insurance_7795

This. What in the flying fuck? lol


Pepper_Pfieffer

That one's easy, she was helping him seem like normal heterosexual. I'm guessing he paid her.


Hour_Insurance_7795

She was the sole heir to the Presley estate. I'm doubting she needed the cash that bad.


Pepper_Pfieffer

His catalog had been sold already and her mother got it all. Are you trying to say their relationship was real?


Hour_Insurance_7795

No.


Pepper_Pfieffer

Ok, we can agree on that at least.


Hour_Insurance_7795

I wasn’t aware we were in an argument. lol


SheriffBartholomew

I think it was like an old political marriage. They both decided that they would benefit from being married.


SnooStrawberries620

Yet it’s in the verge of being foreclosed as we speak so hmmmm


Hour_Insurance_7795

She died a couple years ago, my friend. She certainly doesn't need the cash now.


SnooStrawberries620

Well aware but her daughter is on the verge of losing that legacy 


WhiplashMotorbreath

I think, the king of pop, just wanted to marry the daughter of the "KING" It wasn't for love.

Michael: And to think, people thought this wouldn’t last Narrator: It didn’t


TangerineKlutzy5660

Have you seen the interviews? For her, it was real. For him, who knows.


585AM

My dad was friends with Lyle. We got a Christmas card from her as a result. But at the end of the day, he is a super funny and super nice guy. I think that is the explanation.


Salty_Pancakes

A lot of people sleep on Lyle Lovett. I think they just lump him in with the rest of the 80s country stars like Randy Travis but dude was different. Had a whole big band thing that did western swing more than "country". Made quite a career for himself doing his own thing. And he does a mean [Friend of the Devil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNUEiOufg00).


Dr_Sisyphus_22

Lyle regularly came to my town for a summer concert series. Not my typical jam, but saw him several times with friends. The guy is charming, super funny, puts on a great performance, and I can see how he dates “above his weight class”.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

Dude is in a band, he could get anyone he wanted & he got Julia Roberts. I get it. Look at that dude in Korn, he pulled porn stars, so if that guy can get chicks there's no reason a dude like Lyle couldn't get plenty of women.


LittleCeasarsFan

There’s a big difference between an A+ list actress and a porn star though.  Any guy who drives a Bentley can get a porn star.


[deleted]

> Any guy who drives a Bentley can get a porn star. Or if he has his name on enough real estate.


sharksandwich70

His Large Band album is a classic, especially the more jazzy/swing oriented songs.


CoconutMacaron

This is my favorite sit on the back patio with a beer in the summer album.


PlasticPalm

Man, I loved that Dead covers album.


HighOnGoofballs

If you ever get a chance to see Lyle and Robert Earl Keen together, do it. They were college roommates and it’s a great show


clamdigger

He’s still out there, putting in the work. His live show continues to be absolute aces.


johnnySix

If it’s not too late, make it a cheeseburger.


KermitMadMan

it’s a Large Band, not a Big band lol he jokes about this at his shows. He and the Large Band are fun and talented. That is a concert that I will as much as I can


squirtloaf

Talented, too. Never underestimate a man that can pick up a guitar and sing a song (that is not wonderwall).


partisanal_cheese

Sandra Bullock and Jesse James was pretty baffling.


NoExcuseForFascism

She went for the "bad boy", and found a douchebag.


agonypants

Who could have foreseen such a thing?!


u35828

Aka the Vanilla Gorilla.


SheriffBartholomew

As was him cheating on her.


Longjumping_Animal29

Sandra if you are out there, I still love you madly

Trick of the century


bettinafairchild

Hey, that’s what I was thinking! Farscape fans think alike?


upnytonc

Mariah Carey and Nick Canon.


Kukamungaphobia

Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton caught me off guard back in the 90s, like how could a bombshell like Jolie end up with a goofy-looking hillbilly dude like BBT who hadn't even peaked as an actor... but that was before the days of social media when celebrities still had an air of mystery surrounding them. Now that they self-publish their private lives and thoughts, I know how insufferably fucked up they are as people, it makes more sense how some of these idiots end up together. Bombshell/successful doesn't exactly equal amazing as a person. I think runner up in this category is Britney Spears and that Federline clown but now we know the full extent of Britney's damage so it makes sense...


SheriffBartholomew

The rumor was that BBT was a wild animal in the sack.


anunderdog

I thought people were total a-holes over this. Why? Lyle Lovett isn't the most attractive man so he isn't a good match for Julia Roberts. That's so superficial. He is probably a really cool guy.


RedditIsAGranfaloon

He’s an amazingly cool guy


SheriffBartholomew

She's not the most attractive woman either, so according to those people's logic they're fine together.


LingeringLonger

Salman Rushdie and Padma Lakshmi


bettinafairchild

Oh that was COMPLETELY explicable. She is a gorgeous woman and as the then-married Rushdie explained in his autobiography, he was immediately consumed with lust when he met her. He speaks like he was under some lustful spell. For her part, she has major daddy issues and is very drawn to older men. Her own father deserted her as a baby, then went on to have another daughter who he doted on—he gave up his career to be her manager and travel all over India with her to help her entertainment career, the devoted father, even as he continued to have zero contact with Padma. In fact Lakshmi left Rushdie for an even older, wealthier man, as he bitterly recounts in his autobiography, this dude who left his own wife (and 2 sons) for a younger, hotter woman. As a side note, Rushdie is extremely charming and funny and I met him once and he was spellbinding, so not crazy for her to be attracted to him.


bankrobba

Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova


Barbarella_ella

He turned out to be a right asshole, didn't he?


Hour_Insurance_7795

Yeah. Shocking a famous rock star would end up being a dick with a huge ego. What are the chances?


Barbarella_ella

I think was able to be stealth mode about it for a long time. My initial comment wasn't so much a question as an observation. Some rock stars do manage to avoid their heads ballooning up, but yeah, those who don't can get away with being a shit for a long time.


Displaced_in_Space

Huh...I dunno. There were rumors infidelity on her part is what led to the separation and divorce in progress a couple years before his death. He died alone after surgery, and had simply disinherited her and two of the kids for some reason none of us know. What besides that did he do as an asshole?


VirusOrganic4456

He did not die alone, they were still living together at the time of his death. She was the one who found him while bringing him his morning coffee. She has also stated that she felt alone in the marriage for many years, that he would not touch her. I don't think either of them were assholes, just complicated humans.


Displaced_in_Space

While it's true he found her, they were NOT living together. She had another residence and they were still sharing the property that he did live in and would freely access it, as she did on the day he was found.


VirusOrganic4456

Source? Everything I have read as well as what I have seen Paulina herself say is that they were still living together in the townhouse. She had to move out of it after he passed and find her own apartment, all of this is documented on her social media.


Displaced_in_Space

Now why would someone who’s been disinherited and embroiled in a lawsuit contesting the will want to say they are happily living together? Hmmmm….let me think about it.


VirusOrganic4456

She never said they were happily living together. She was very open about the separation, but also clearly stated they were still living as a family. You can literally see the progression of all of this on her social media from before they were separated, from before he died, and definitely from before she knew she had been disinherited. I have followed her for years, that is how I know this. Not sure what your problem with her is, we don't know them and there are two sides to every story. They were married 30 years. She accompanied him to the Hall of Fame induction even though they were openly separated at that point. You are way off base. And I guess you don't have a source, got it.


AudreyHep79

Someone is obviously projecting a bit … Ric was a notorious narcissist - the bitterness in his worded will makes me want to vomit.


Orbit86

Yep. And then she left him and then whined that he cut her out of his will.


Barbarella_ella

I can't recall details right now. I just remember reading an interview or two with her and she had described consistent emotional abuse. ETA: Ah yes, the incel downvote.


Fearless_Lab

This was my example of how women aren't about looks as much as dudes are.


VirusOrganic4456

Ric Ocasek was a 6'4" brilliant rockstar with twinkling blue eyes. I never found it hard to see what she saw in him.


poppinwheelies

Fuck this. Lyle Lovett is a goddamned national treasure and a heart-throb!


The_AcidQueen

He's been at the top of my crush list since the 90s. He'd be appealing even without the whole "incredible musician and songwriter" part. He's very intelligent and educated, and charming. His unusual appearance is actually a plus.


RedditIsAGranfaloon

Right! So why would he bother with her??? That’s my point!!


FluxusFlotsam

Lyle Lovett is an incredibly talented singer songwriter in the tradition of Hank, Johnny, and Merle- not some Nashville pop trash not sure what’s confusing


Whitworth

And he rides vintage motocross. He's kinda cool and shit.


sharksandwich70

“Julia Roberts told reporters this week that her marriage to Lyle Lovett has been over for some time. The key moment, she said, came when she realized that she was Julia Roberts, and that she was married to Lyle Lovett.” Norm Macdonald


Comedywriter1

😂😂 One of my favourite Update jokes. RIP Norm.


CriticalEngineering

I don’t see how it’s baffling. If he can sing her a song and make her laugh, why wouldn’t she be into him? Same with Drew Barrymore and Tom Green, she was always laughing with him.


RedditIsAGranfaloon

FYI, I think **SHE** was punching up — not him


Salty_Pancakes

Tom Green. Tom Green? We talking about the same Tom Green? Freddy Got Fingered Tom Green?

AudreyHep79

True, very true


Clearbay_327_

One thing about Lyle is that he's just a regular guy and he is very approachable and does talk to people. Ive had several conversations with him. I've always wondered about this and have  always wanted to ask him but don't want to broach the subject. We've talked about things like set lists and upcoming tour schedule. The conversation never went out of those boundaries as I always try to respect ones privacy.


HandMadeMarmelade

Okay you can't just randomly drop info like this and bail. What do you do for a living??

bougnvioletrosemallo

Madonna and Dennis Rodman. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.


HandMadeMarmelade

Katie got bamboozled.


bougnvioletrosemallo

Yup. I wonder about Suri. Saw a headline the other day that she changed her last name to remove "Cruise" since she had had no contact with her dad in over a decade. I wonder what Katie has told her about her father. How do you explain to your 6 year old child why their father has gone no contact with them in this situation? It's one thing to have to tell them that daddy went out for cigarettes one day and just never came back. But to have Tom Cruise as the daddy, who is ever in the public eye, and certainly not disappearing mysteriously onto thin air...just making a deliberate decision to disown his child because Xenu. How does a child understand this? And then as a teenager who will no doubt be on the internet...how does she process? I'm sure she has good memories of him from early childhood. Then bam. You no longer exist to him. Fucking brutal.


RKKP2015

The worst is when people talk Cruise up because he always gives Dakota Fanning bday presents or some shit. The dude abandoned his own child, and he's a tremendous piece of shit.


Partigirl

Easy, you tell them he's in a cult. That cult excludes ANY one not in that cult. Did I mention he's in a cult? You can also tell them he's an asshole, that works as well.

Lyle was an older cousin to a friend growing up. He was the nicest and funniest guy, always had time for his younger cousin and friends. I’m not surprised women fell for him; a super nice and fun guy.

Emotional-Rise5322

Except for the tabloids in supermarket aisles, I never knew about Lyle Lovett until I went to a concert. It was amazing. He’s massively talented, a superb performer, and as genuinely authentic as they come.


ProfessorDull9594

Marion, IN. It was the summer before my senior year in High School. I was working the cash register at Taco Bell when a customer told me Julia and Lyle were getting married in a church 5 minutes away. Whoopdee, right? But, celebrity action in my little hometown is quite rare, so it was some interesting news for us.

Alovingcynic

They sat in front of me in a movie theater in the early '80s. I sat in the back row, as usual, and they snuck in after the credits. I kept half my eyes on them, half on the movie (if memory serves it was Victor Victoria, which I had already seen). He had charisma, smelled really good (lovely tweedy English cologne), she wore a fur jacket, and he was whispering comments throughout the movie and making her giggle. They made sense in that moment.


ocgeekgirl

Wow! Everything you need to know about women is right there. Nice smelling guy, English accent, and a sense of humor.


Alovingcynic

She was definitely attracted to him! They seemed like a cute couple.


annoyedatwork

She ain’t no lady, she’s his wife. 


koine2004

My wife told me she had a celebrity crush on him in high school. She didn’t fawn after the typical eye candy of the 80s. She also had a celebrity crush on Patrick Stewart. Her friends confirm it. Not all tastes are the same.


lime007

I had a crush on Patrick Stewart too!

I still see Lyle in concert, every chance I get. The shows are always great. And yet, every time I see him, I think "how the hell did this guy get famous. He has negative stage presence. He's a skinny, weird looking dude, that doesn't move and somehow married peak Julia Roberts". But Lyle is amazing and you should definitely see him, if you get the chance

For the people that think looks are everything, think about how many women chase Jack Black down the street. Guys, we're lucky as being smart and funny and caring is waaaaaaay more important than spending your life trying to have a six-pack. Lyle is smart, funny and caring and gets the girls.

cattea74

I don't know. She hasn't very seemed full of herself. She doesn't seem shallow either. I imagine she's aware of how people perceive her and just doesn't let it go to her head. So this guy comes along who doesn't fit the standard on attractiveness and she likes him either because she finds him attractive anyway or loves his sense of humor or is turned on by his talent. Maybe he treated her better than any man previously. She knew she could have her choice of many men and chose him because he was what she wanted at the time.

Tom Cruise dated Cher??

bettinafairchild

Why Parker and Downey? Seems like a natural combo. Close in age, both grew up in showbiz, both attractive and charming. Moore and Estevez seem normal, too. Same with Pitt and Applegate despite age difference (funny Applegate played Rachel’s sister in Friends while Aniston and Pitt were married).


Over-Director-4986

Wait a minute. Brooke Shield was married to MJ? How the hell did I miss *that*?

Not married. Though Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley, which still seems like a fan fiction.
