Lisa Marie Presley 34 has ended her 3-month marriage to Nicholas Cage. She says, “We shouldn’t have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake.”
A “factor in the breakup is thought to have been Ms Presley’s devotion to the Church of Scientology,” reports the Herald Sun in Australia.
Australians now have a much keener interest in Scientology since the richest family in that country is now apparently entangled with the controversial group.
This is Presley’s third marriage. Her first, to a devoted Scientologist, produced two children. Her second, a strange union with singer Michael Jackson, lasted two years. The Jackson-Presley marriage apparently ended largely due to the pop singer’s refusal to be involved in Scientology.
Couples of different religious beliefs often marry and work things out. But it appears that Scientology does not approve of a prominent member like Presley, marrying outside of the church. That is, unless there is some hope of recruiting a spouse. When that fails, divorce appears to be the likely alternative.
Scientologist Kirstie Alley apparently divorced largely due to disagreements about Scientology. And there seemed to be some strain in the marriage of Tom Cruise to Nicole Kidman over the religion. Kidman kept insisting it wasn’t the focus of her life and emphasized her Catholicism, while Cruise remained a deeply devout practitioner and promoter of Scientology.
Nicholas Cage, like Michael Jackson, was probably pitched to take study courses promoted by the controversial church. But apparently the Oscar winning star passed. That may have easily led to the rapid disintegration and ultimate break-up of the marriage.
Will Elvis’s daughter ever find wedded bliss? Unlike baseball, three stirke outs doesn’t end this mating game. Just look at Elizabeth Taylor or Zsa Zsa Gabor, many celebrities like to keep on swinging.
But whatever happiness Elvis’s heir may find through matrimony, it is likely to only be within the arms of a practicing Scientologist.
