Despite donning the pompadour for his own interpretation of Elvis Presley, Jacob Elordi’s only knowledge of the singer came an unconventional place. Ahead of the domestic release of Sofia Coppola’s highly anticipated biopic Priscilla, the Australian actor appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and revealed that everything he knew about the controversial King of Rock and Roll was from the 2002 Disney classic Lilo & Stitch. As insane as that may sound, the young actor was right to say he learned “a lot” about Elvis from the film when you consider that the soundtrack features five of the singer’s biggest hits — “Burning Love” and “Heartbreak Hotel” among them.
Although Elvis is obviously not around to share how he feels about Elordi’s take on him, one controversial politician has spoken his mind on his impersonators. Taking time away from being embroiled in scandal, indicted Congressman George Santos joined ex-View co-host Meghan McCain on her podcast and talked about the photos of him dressed in drag that resurfaced late last year. The reveal of “Kitara Ravache” spurred a number of drag queens to recreate the character in their own performances, including one from L.A.-based queen Meatball, which went viral in February. Santos described the satirical performance set to The Greatest Showman’s “This Is Me” as “hysterical” and “good content,” completely missing the point that his hypocrisy was being lambasted on stage.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk may be staunchly against impersonation on Twitter but comedy is still alive and well there anyway. Today’s funny tweets include those about a rat in a Saw trap, a curious lack of twinkle in your homie’s eyes and a rejected job candidate with a valid question.
