Celebrity illusionist Uri Geller has lost a court battle over Elivis Presley’s pre-Graceland home.

Geller sued the former owners of the rock-and-roll legend’s Memphis house - purchased in 1956 with his early song royalties - after they went back on their commitment to sell the property to him through auction website eBay for $905,000.

Comedienne Joan Rivers has revoked her apology for swearing on live British television on Tuesday.

The outspoken star sparked outrage in the U.K. after she called actor Russell Crowe a “f**king s**t” while speaking to co-hosts of daytime talk show Loose Women.

The flustered presenters immediately apologised for Rivers’ foul language while giggling about the slip-up, but show bosses weren’t quite so light on their guest - they asked Rivers to leave the set during the commercial break.

Little Britain comic Matt Lucas has split with his partner - becoming the first gay celebrity couple in the UK to “divorce”.

Lucas, 34, married Kevin McGee in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006 - meaning the 31-year-old TV producer could now claim up to half of the comedian’s estimated $20 million fortune.
