LOS ANGELES — For the right price, you or a loved one can rest in peace in the tomb of The King.
Celebrity auctioneer Darren Julien is selling Elvis Presley’s original crypt to the highest bidder as part of his “Music Icons” auction next month.

The tomb is located inside the granite and marble mausoleum at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tenn.
Presley was interred there alongside his mother, Gladys, after he died Aug. 16, 1977. Two months later, they were reburied at his Graceland home. The original crypt has remained empty ever since.
Julien says the winning bid from the auction beginning June 23 will receive the crypt, opening and closing of the vault for burial, a memorialization inscription and use of a chapel for a committal service.
Officials wants to ask Bieber about scuffle with photographer
CALABASAS, Calif. — Justin Bieber is wanted for questioning by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators after a photographer complained of being roughed up by the pop star at a shopping center.
Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Wiard said the photographer called 911 on Sunday and complained of pain to his chest. Wiard said the scuffle happened when the photographer tried to snap pictures of Bieber and his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez, after they walked out of a theater at The Commons at Calabasas.
Wiard said the photographer was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released.
He said Bieber and Gomez left before deputies arrived, so investigators want to talk to the pop star to get his side of the story.
A call to Bieber’s publicist was not immediately returned late Sunday.
‘Men in Black’ bumps ‘Avengers’ down list
LOS ANGELES — The comic action heroes of “Men in Black 3” have taken over the weekend box office from the comic-book superheroes of “The Avengers.”
According to studio estimates Monday, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones’ latest “Men in Black” installment debuted with $70 million domestically over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, which proved unusually quiet at theaters for Hollywood overall.
“Men in Black 3” added $133.2 million overseas for a worldwide total of $203.2 million.
“The Avengers” raised its domestic total to $523.6 million, making it the No. 4 movie on the all-time domestic revenue chart and only the fourth film to top half a billion dollars. “The Avengers” will quickly pass the No. 3 film, “The Dark Knight” at $533.3 million, leaving only “Avatar” at $760.5 million and “Titanic” at $658.5 million ahead of it.
