Is The King turning over in his grave? Elvis Presley might be shocked to know that his granddaughter, Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough, is going naked as a prostitute in the new series “Girlfriend Experience” on Starz.

Riley premiered Sunday night as the replacement to porn star Sasha Grey as a New York call girl in the spinoff of Stephen Soderbergh’s provocative 2009 film. Riley, who starred in the Oscar-winning “Mad Max” Fury Road,” is newly married to Australian stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen.

Riley plays second year law-student, 26-year-old Christine Reade, who pays for her studies as an intern at a Chicago law firm by offering call-girl services at $1,000 an hour with a two-hour minimum. In Sunday night’s debut, she was seen undressing fully naked on a bed.

Cameras also filmed her cleaning herself with a tissue after a client encounter, then taking a shower. The episode showed how a prostitute friend lured her into sex work and being tempted with an envelope stuffed with $100 bills. “The Girlfriend Experience” offers talking, listening and emotional support with graphic physical intimacy.

SPIRIT SIZZLERS: Christie Brinkley and Lisa Vanderpump are set to dazzle at the 73rd Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America convention at Caesars Palace from April 18-21. The supermodel is launching her line of Bellisimo Italian sparkling wines, and the reality-TV star is showcasing her new sangria mix.

During the convention, our Southern Wine and Spirits leader Larry Ruvo will be honored with the Lifetime Leadership Award. The exposition is the largest gathering of America’s wine and spirits distributors and suppliers, and more than 2,500 people are expected to attend.

Larry also will be presented with the Community Hero Award by Caesars Entertainment on Wednesday at the Rio recognizing his corporate citizenship in supporting countless causes and charities through his philanthropic sponsorships, especially at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.

Last year, the Caesars Foundation announced a three-year commitment to underwrite clinical trials and an online brain health index at the brain center.

STARS SCUFFLE: It started with a friendly lunch of the three members of the private Gold Jacket club: Nicolas Cage, Carrot Top and former Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil.

An overly aggressive fan wanted their autographs and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer, pestering them nonstop. It resulted in Nic calming Vince down after the duo had been held by Aria security for an hour.

Vince was not arrested, as reports indicated. He was given a ticket for battery and says he did not grab the woman’s hair and only pushed past her to get away from her.

UNIQUE ART: New York artist Peter Tunney is creating an original painting made from every one of Tony Bennett’s album covers from the 1950s to the present in honor of the singer’s 90th birthday being celebrated at Keep Memory Alive’s “Power of Love” gala to benefit the Lou Ruvo Center on May 21 at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Peter has titled the painting ”The Good Life,” and it will be up for auction with the winning bidder getting the artwork plus a record player and all the vinyl albums!

ROMANCE RULES: More than 1,000 authors of love stories will attend the big Romance Book convention opening at the Rio on Tuesday and continuing through Sunday. Fifteen literary genres including fantasy, paranormal, erotica, Steampunk, suspense, historical and contemporary romance will be represented.

More than 4,000 people have registered for the convention, which features nightly dress-up themed parties. Lectures include how to write sex scenes and churn out romance novels fast and frequently.

DOUBLE DUTY: Kudos to actor Kevin Burke, who does double duty all week with his “Defending the Caveman” nightly at 8:30. He will be subbing with his comedy magic act for Adam London each afternoon at 4, too.

Both shows are at The D Las Vegas downtown, so he won’t have to race up and down the Strip as he has done in the past.

BOOK RELEASE: “No Future Without” is a fictional book based on the real-life accidental death of Jayne Post’s 16-year-old son, Paul. While riding his bike near home in Henderson in 2003, Paul was hit by a teen driver and died. Jayne is co-creator and star of “Marriage Can Be Murder” at The D with husband Eric Post.

Jayne also is the co-senior pastor and founder at Sin City Church with Pastor Rhonda Baker, the first church known to be started by two women. The book is available as of today on Amazon.com in Kindle and print. It’s the harrowing tale of a mother’s worst nightmare. Jayne said: “This book has been 10 long years in the making, and it felt surreal. So many people sent encouragement along the way so I could share the important message of choosing forgiveness in tragedy.”
