"I WISH that he knew what Scientology was before he died," Priscilla Presley said last week, adding that the church's staunch anti-drug policies could have "helped Elvis a lot" in fighting his addiction to prescription drugs.
According to former Elvis crony Lamar Fike "One day, in L.A., we got in the limousine and went down to the Scientology center on Sunset, and Elvis went in and talked to them,"We waited in the car, but apparently they started doing all these charts and crap for him. Elvis came out and said, `F - - - those people! There's no way I'll ever get involved with that son-of-a-bitchin' group. All they want is my money.' . . . He stayed away from Scientology like it was a cobra. He'd s - - t a brick to see how far Lisa Marie's gotten into it."
