Do we REALLY need ANOTHER Elvis Mr. Potato Head???

[Jungleroom76]

Just found this at Elvisinfonet.com:

EPE Embarrasses true Elvis fans Again: While EPE worry about Elvis' amazing legacy being tarnished by unauthorised products and "Graceland in Denmark", they then post ridiculous stories about the importance of ANOTHER Elvis Mr Potato Head!

As in "Elvis '68 Special Mr. Potato Head to be Unveiled at 2011 Toy Fair!"
And EPE states that this is "Big news!":

"Following the huge success of the “Mr. Potato Head Elvis Live” figure, PPW Toys will be showcasing “Mr. Potato Head Elvis ’68 Special” at the 2011 New York Toy Fair. We will release an image of the new Mr. Potato Head on Monday, February 14 right here on Elvis.com!"

GREAT now EPE spoil my Valentine's Day as well.
Elvis would surely turn in his grave.
(News, Source; EIN)

This is COMPLETELY unnecessary!!! But once again, it proves that EPE simply goes after the $$$$$ regardless of how it may affect Elvis' image!! Apparently the first Mr. Potato Head sold well enough for EPE to go back to the well for a second go-round... :doh:

...and EPE is worried about the image that is being presented in the FINAL CURTAIN box set???? This CLEARLY demonstrates just how out of whack EPE truly is!!! :angry:

This makes you wonder if they ever listen to the fans at all. I'm sure a lot of the fans didn't like the Elvis Mr Potato Head. I'd rather have an Elvis My Little Pony, at least it's nice and doesn't seem like a mockery.

I think so too Mike! You think they'd be able to come up with more tasteful toys if they wanted to lure in younger fans. Maybe they should stick with the Elvis Barbies, but even those went down in quality. I want to ask them, which is more important to them? Elvis' legacy or $$$.

[Brian Quinn]

Both Priscilla and Lisa Marie are known to be members of the Church Of Scientology. I found the following on the Web which may have some relevance to the topic in question:

Business owners are urged to join the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises, where they pay a percentage of their earnings for no real benefit to their business. These funds flow back to the cult. WISE members are expected to implement management by statistics, overly aggressive sales techniques, and other of L. Ron Hubbard's business theories that can cause their business to suffer. WISE companies are expected to hire expensive Scientology management consultants and other experts.

I believe the amount payable to the Church is around 10%, which if looking at it in terms of the EPE gross yearly profit comes to abot $6 million.

Brian :hmm:

[Albert]

I understand EPE has to cater various markets, but they tend to focus more on the cheesy easy-buck market (with mostly non-fans) than to the true fans (that made the Presleys millionaires and earned RCA billions).

There's no vision of long term strategy. They just seem to focus on one sale at the time. I wouldn't mind if mister Potato was a way to introduce Elvis to kids, combining it with a nice CD with child-friendly Elvis songs.

It is really disturbing to realize that Elvis legacy might be suffering and will continue suffering, because people behind it is digging into this mine of gold to give it away to one of the most ridicioulous brainwashing and damaging cults in resent history.

I believe once, I think is was Jerry Schilling, who told once that those scientology people aproached Elvis one time, and inmediately Elvis put them away realizing inmediately they where just after his bank account.

I don't think Elvis will approve at all this scientology thing going on with his daughter and Cilla if he was still around. And Elvis, we know, could be pretty harsh when he didn't aproved something.

I expect the little kids would like it though. Our little ones like SpongeBob.

As far as anyones religion; that's not anyones business.
But most churches like to have 10% .

They been donatin to Scientology causes for EPE for many a year. I have friends who in that church and they say to me that yes epe member of wise and that few years ago Pris donatin a check for $5000 to some Scientolgoy charity in epe name. Lisa doin same.
So guess am sayin that Brian not off on what he sayin at all.

As you say, Elvis was a very open minded guy, and a very religious one. He was a christian, but as we know he was always willing to read and learn about other religions (particualry: Judaism, because of his mother family and Buddhism because of his Karate studies) and was very keen about readings in the line of Kahlili Gibran and that stuff, I think founded that exange most positive.

Yet, when it came about scientolgy, according to Jerry, he put them aside not just because they were obviously only after his money, but because he founded (I believe he attended one meeting) the whole thing a load of crap.

So, and now your money is going to them at the cost of your own legacy? something is not so cool there.

***

Sure, they might have helped Lisa with his drug problem and all, but those guys will always make you think they were the one and only answer for you and that now you own them, and they will collect. Is not about suggesting a free will donation as many healthy religion might do, this is about, you own us you pay or else...

Now, sure, everybody is entitled to believe whatever they want, and I do respect that. Sure an atheist might tell us that Jesus, Budha, or whatever is as unreal as aliens. Well is not that simple, there is a lot of principles involved and so NO is not the same, even if there is no God and so, there is a big difference between religions and scientology in terms of ethics. That argument: is the same if you say aliens or god, is part of what they use to make you think they are ok, they are not ok. Although that might be just my opinion.

But the main point is not what they believe in, as I said they got the right too, the point is the money. Sure, all religious institutions, all churchs and all need money, but there is a diffrence between donation and the bill is... between free will and straigh brain washing, between we live in an world run by $$$ but our intention first is to benefit humanity, and this is a straigh business that runs under the premise of making you believe you need us and here is the bottom line: you don't have any money, oh you're not even welcome here. Now that put things in perspective right?

But, sorry. Many of our "christian" churches are doing the same.
As to the money-- it doesn't come from Elvis or his fans. Sillerman is no Scientologist.
If Cilla and Lisa choose to donate -- it's money they've made, not from Elvis. EPE owns that part now.
For what it's worth-- it seems it helped Lisa get off "drugs" {her words, not mine} and {hopefully} make her life better
I can't fault them for improving someone's life, even if I don't agree with their philosophy.

I don't fault Lisa and Priscilla. It's their choice but I do find anyone who gives that much money to a so-called religious organization pretty naive and foolish....and that's just my personal opinion. Just out of curiosity I will have to go look up info on scientology again.

Depends which way you look at it (the money that has been earnt). It has been earnt through Elvis's talent, and us fans buying his music etc. Priscilla is like the middle man as it were.

I dont know enough about scientology - as I tend to really only find out things of which I am interested - but anything that gets anyone off drugs is always a good thing.

This is the agreement between Lisa and Sillerman .Also, Cilla's role in anything connected.

You can find just about anything on the Net ,it seems. But, the history is more interesting I think.
Though Elvis' music is very good, it took some courage and lots of faith for the Executors to open
Graceland so many years ago. I'm glad it worked for all of them and us.I'm not sure I could have did it.

[Vegas69]

I dunno understand, how is Priss paid 6 million for a name she does not have? Elvis in divorce decree stated he no want her to profit business wise form his name so how is she paid for something is not her's?

I dislike the fact she couldn't wait to 'get rid' of his name when she left...................but legally she has every right to use 'Presley' till the day she re-marries.

This is the agreement between Lisa and Sillerman .Also, Cilla's role in anything connected.
http://www.wikinvest.com/stock/CKX_(CKXE)/Contribution_Exchange_Agreement


Please read this agreement . No one paid Cilla for "her name."She was used as a "consultent." I expect she might know a bit about running EPE since she did for many years. The Rights to Elvis' name was fought for years ago by EPE and it's Executors. It only benefited and protected Lisa's interest . " At closing, Priscilla Presley entered into a consulting agreement with EPE Inc. for a period of ten years under which she will be paid $560,000 per year." Which is 4 more years, and 560 thousand dollars a year, not millions.

The story of Priscilla not being able to use the Presley name is false. It's not in the will anywhere. In fact, her name's not mentioned in the whole thing. http://www.ibiblio.org/elvis/elvwill.html

[sasha]

I dislike the fact she couldn't wait to 'get rid' of his name when she left...................but legally she has every right to use 'Presley' till the day she re-marries.

I agree. Many times I've thought about going back to my "maiden name" after my divorce. But, my child has his name. So, for her sake and to not confuse teachers, etc. I've kept it.

[kathy parkinson]

I agree Sasha, i too have kept my surname for my children, i divorced their father not them. I also agree with you on your last statement, sadly the Priscilla haters,and there are some, won't agree with any of it, even when it's a legal piece of paper.

I don't hate any of the ones that knew Elvis. True, I like some more than others.But, the ones I just can't like, I stay away from....;}
I found most of the things on Cilla when I got over "not liking her" and decided to see what she had to do with him.I was no fan of hers--{still not} until I decided to get some facts instead of complaining. My dislike of her had to do with Lisa. Where I've found more on that too. I probably would have whipped Lisa's behind; among other things.....:}

[kathy parkinson]

Sasha, your like a breath of fresh air.

[Vegas69]

Read again Sasha sayin she paid $6 million in part for the USE of the Presley name. And her pay has been increased reports last week her consult salary is almost $900 thousand a year a little short of that. And yes a site long agos had a copy of the entire divorce and sayin in there per Elvis request she was not usin his name for business ventures that is not false. Many Elvis guys confirms it to.
I dont understandin the Priss lovers this woman done nothin really nothin. Elvis is why fans are there and his talent whys we stay. Graceland bein open was no brain thinkin and would have been open with or without Priss. Monkees could sell Elvis. Oh wait already do.

[sasha]

Lisa is still called Ms Presley and she took over EPE at the age of 25.
Her mother consulted; just like the other two Executors. The National Bank of Commerce in Memphis, and Joseph Hanks.All 3 were paid a salary. No one was paid any millions, except when Lisa sold EPE in Dec,2004 and that went to pay off debts and to Lisa. Lisa never appeared to want much to with any of the business part; leaving it to the 3 Executors to run EPE. I think she had mixed feelings about Graceland and it made her angry and sad the way her dads "friends and family" talked about him. That's my opinion and everyone can make up their own minds. I don't really care whether anyone likes Lisa or Cilla.I've made my peace with all that .They can speak for themselves, Elvis can't.

After Elvis' death on August 16, 1977 at Graceland, his will appointed his father, Vernon Presley, executor and trustee.[5] The beneficiaries of the trust were Vernon, Elvis' grandmother Minnie Mae Presley, and his nine year old daughter Lisa Marie Presley, whose inheritance was to be held in trust until her twenty-fifth birthday.[5] After Vernon's death in 1979, Elvis' ex-wife Priscilla Presley was named as one of three trustees in his will; the others being the National Bank of Commerce in Memphis, and Joseph Hanks, who had been Elvis and Vernon's accountant.[5] With Minnie Mae's passing in 1980, Lisa Marie became the only surviving beneficiary named in Elvis's will.[5]
In 1998, Lisa became more closely involved with the management team of The Elvis Presley Trust and its business entity, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.(EPE). She was owner and Chairman of the Board until February 2005, when she sold 85 percent of the estate's business holdings to CKX, Inc., excluding Graceland itself and the property within it.[5]

successor Trustee when acting as such) the power to do
everything he deems advisable with respect to the administration
of each trust required to be established under this, my last
will and Testament, even though such powers would not be
authorized or appropriate for the Trustee under statutory or
other rules of law. By way of illustration and not in
limitation of the generality of the foregoing grant of power and
authority of the Trustee, I give and grant to him plenary power
as follows:

(a) To exercise all those powers authorized to fiduciaries under
the provisions of the Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 35-616
to 35-618, inclusive, including any amendments thereto in effect

(b) Plenary power is granted to the Trustee, not only to relieve
him from seeking judicial instruction, but to the extent that
the Trustee deems it to be prudent, to encourage determinations
freely to be made in favor of persons who are the current income
beneficiaries. In such instances the rights of all subsequent
beneficiaries are subordinate, and the Trustee shall not be
answerable to any subsequent beneficiary for anything done or
omitted in favor of a current income beneficiary may compel any
such favorable or preferential treatment. Without in anywise
minimizing or impairing the scope of this declaration of intent,
it includes investment policy, exercise of discretionary power
to pay or apply principal and income, and determination
principal and income questions;

payable to or for the benefit of a minor (or any other person

proper disposition thereof) by payments in discharge of the
costs and expenses of educating, maintaining and supporting said
beneficiary, or to make payment to anyone with whom said
beneficiary resides or who has the care or custody of the
beneficiary, temporarily or permanently, all without
intervention of any guardian or like fiduciary. The receipt of
anyone to whom payment is so authorized to be made shall be a
complete discharge of the Trustees without obligation on his
part to see to the further application hereto, and without
regard to other resource that the beneficiary may have, or the
duty of any other person to support the beneficiary;

or any part therof, shall be bound to inquire with respect to
the purpose or necessity of any such disposition or to see to
the application of any consideration therefore paid to the
Trustee.

Item XIII

Concerning the Trustee and the Executor

(a) If at any time the Trustee shall have reasonable doubt as to
his power, authority or duty in the administration of any trust
herein created, it shall be lawful for the Trustee to obtain the
advice and counsel of reputable legal counsel without resorting
to the courts for instructions; and the Trustee shall be fully
absolved from all liability and damage or detriment to the
various trust estates of any beneficiary thereunder by reason of
anything done, suffered or omitted pursuant to advice of said
counsel given and obtained in good faith, provided that nothing
contained herein shall be construed to prohibit or prevent the
Trustee in all proper cases from applying to a court of
competent jurisdiction for instructions in the administration
of the trust assets in lieu of obtaining advice of counsel.

(b) In managing, investing, and controlling the various trust
estates, the Trustee shall exercise the judgment and care under
the circumstances then prevailing, which men of prudence
discretion and judgment exercise in the management of their own
affairs, not in regard to speculation, but in regard to the
permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable
income as well as the probable safety of their capital, and, in
addition, the purchasing power of income distribution to
beneficiaries.

(c) My Trustee (as well as my Executor) shall be entitled to
reasonable and adequate and adequate compensation for the
fiduciary services rendered by him.

Executor shall have the same rights, privileges, powers and

construction, masculine pronouns may include a corporate
fiduciary and neutral pronouns may include an individual
fiduciary.

Item XIV

Law Against Perpetuities

(a) Having in mind the rule against perpetuities, I direct that
(notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this last
will and testament) each trust created under this will (except
such trust created under this will (except such trusts as have
heretofore vested in compliance with such rule or law) shall
end, unless sooner terminated under other provisions of this
will, twenty-one (21) years after the death of the last survivor
of such of the beneficiaries hereunder as are living at the time
of my death; and thereupon that the property held in trust shall
be distributed free of all trust to the persons then entitled to
receive the income and/or principal therefrom, in the proportion
in proportion in which they are then entitled to receive such
income.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this will to the
contrary, I direct that if any distribution under this will
become payable to a person for whom the Trustee is then
administering a trust created hereunder for the benefit of such
person, such distribution shall be made to such trust and not to
the beneficiary outright, and the funds so passing to such trust
shall become a part thereof as corpus and be administered and
distributed to the same extent and purpose as if such funds had
been a part of such a trust at its inception.

Item XV

Payment of Estate and Inheritance Taxes

Notwithstanding the provisions of Item X herein, I authorize my
Executor to use such sums received by my estate after my death
and resulting from my personal services as identified in Item X
as he deem necessary and advisable in order to pay the taxes
referred to in Item I of my said will.

Birth of an Enterprise

Despite multi-million-dollar movie deals, recording royalties of$250,000, and albums and concerts that brought in more than $100,000each, Elvis' estate was worth only $4.9 million at the time of hisdeath. (8) Elvis' manager, Tom Parker--who was subsequently boughtout by the trust--received half of Elvis' income, (9) and Elvis hadsold RCA the royalty rights to his recordings before 1973. (10) Themarkets for Elvis were very fragmented, and copyrights were not enforcedon music or the myriad of Elvis products and souvenirs being sold.Elvis' will appointed his father, Vernon Presley, as an executorand trustee of his estate, and it further stipulated that theinheritance bequeathed to his only child, Lisa Marie Presley, was to beheld in trust and managed on her behalf until she reached age 25. VernonPresley died in 1979, and his own will named three co-executors tosucceed him: National Bank of Commerce; Joseph Hanks, Elvis'accountant, who retired from this post in 1990; and Priscilla BeaulieuPresley, Elvis ex-wife and Lisa Marie's legal guardian. Upon LisaMarie's 25th birthday in 1993, the trust automatically dissolved.Lisa chose to form a new trust, the Elvis Presley Trust, and retain theexecutors to continue management of the estate in the form of a privatebusiness entity known as Elvis Presley Enterprises. Prior to 1993, therewere two dilemmas confronting the executors of the trust. Firstly, therewere a myriad of businesses and individuals who were blatantly usingElvis' name and image for their own profit, without permission ofthe executors of Elvis' estate. The executors wished to unify thedisparate Elvis markets under the name of the estate. Following a numberof successful, precedent-setting court rulings against infringers, theTennessee legislature passed a new law, the Personal Rights ProtectionAct of 1984. (11) This law gave EPE the unqualified right to control theuse of Elvis' name and likeness. Today, as assignee and registrantof all trademarks, copyrights, and publicity rights bel onging to thePresley estate, EPE has more than 110 licenses in operation. (12)

Sasha no wanna argue with you but what you are write is old, look up google or I find Priss salary increase few mos. ago. And she paid 6 million for Presley name, google it.
And Lisa inherited estate at 30, only part at 25 well documented that.

What you type up there make no mentions of the 6 million which she was paid for and Lisa had to LEGALLY ASKIN the courts to change her name back to maiden Priss did nothing like that. So askin again how she got arounds the divorce decree which DID happens.

I don't take or believe much off the Internet. Especially not from some celebrity magazines, rumors.
I kinda like to ask the ones that were there, like attorneys, see Legal papers, etc. And yes, all the legal papers are old, over 33 years
some. That's when Elvis died and Vernon filed the Will. And 2 years after that, Vernon's death .Lisa chose to not "inherit" until she was older . That's been a few years ago too. Anyone can believe what they want. It's a free world......so far...:} Just hate to see words put in peoples mouths they never said. Have a nice day. I don't argue or get mad. Just like to find the truth in all things.

[KPM]

She is not being paid for her name-she is being paid as a "consultant"
Also depending on how the exact language of the divorce decree is worded-the part which bars her from profiting from his name may be null and void after he died. It would specifically have to say something barring her profiting after his death.
But in this case technically she is not being paid for the name-its for consulting on matters of EPE.

Lisa is the only person who can authorise the use of the Presley name in connection with her father.
The whole deal with Sillerman was for the rights to the likeness and image of Elvis Presley.
His name is in that deal, Priscilla could not sell that name-only Lisa who is the sole heir of Elvis named in his will.
Lisa made the deal and part of that deal (which Lisa agreed to) is that Priscilla is paid to consult on matters for EPE-she gets a salary for doing so.
Lisa at age 25 (the age specified in Elvis's will to hand over to her the estate) decided to start a new trust and in that new trust she left the 3 co-exectutors in charge .......this was her decision and her right as the sole heir.
