Lisa Marie Presley Says She Was Forced to Announce Pregnancy

lisamariemad.jpgLisa Marie Presley
is not happy. The daughter of Elvis is saying that she has no choice but to announce her pregnancy last week, after the media inundated the singer with "vicious" comments regarding her "expanding physique."

"After being the target all week of slanderous and degrading stories, horribly manipulated pictures and articles in the media, I have had to show my cards and announce under the gun and under vicious personal attack that I am in fact pregnant," Lisa wrote on her MySpace blog.

She's hoping her announcement will "stop all of the harassment, and I can stop dodging the continuous bullets. It is unfortunate that I couldn't have announced something that is this much of a blessing and that has made us so incredibly happy under better circumstances," she added.

Like I said, Lisa Marie is not happy, but, then again, is she ever?

"Had to", only thing you "have to" is live, die and pay taxes. A backbone helps.

I agree with dr, but we don't know what it's like until we walk a mile in their shoes. I would hate for the whole country to be calling me fat when I'm just pregnant. I'd be pissed too. Congrats to Lisa Marie and her family on the baby to be. I might be pregnant too and I am scared to death of blowing up like a balloon. I can't imagine the whole country calling me fat.

She always looks so "unhappy"...I think she is a "spoiled" little "diva" that needs a good "spanking"...She needs to get over herself...She has never been anything but "Elvis's" very "wealthy" daughter...Nothing else...

Mark said:

She is cute and sexy. She is also my favorite. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "SeekingRich.com"
last week. It is said she is dating a young billionaire on that site now.I hope she will be happy everyday!

I agree with Blog Brat....why does she think that anyone will be obsessing over her wt. gain? I may pick up a rag, check it out and think to myself..hmm...bit of wt. gain. You can rest assured that it does not weigh heavy (pun intended) on my mind for longer than that fleeting moment, and I can assure Ms. Presley it does not have anyone else in a panic either. Build a bridge...get over yourself. Geeus, save some starving children in the USA..they don't give a flip about your wt. staus..I promise.

Blame Hollywood and the press for this. They're the ones who harp on about celebs if they're not a "perfect" size minus-zero.....good grief, the average American woman is a size 12, for crap's sake.

Heaven forbid one of these Hollywood types at their "perfect" size minus-zero has a big meal.....

Leigh said:

Just another excuse for poor Lisa Marie to be angry and unhappy about. This girl never seems to be happy or satisfied with anything in her life. No forces anyone to do anything they don't want to.

What's the big deal...
Why do these celebrities play games with the public & especially the papparazzi...
If you're pregnant...you're pregnant...why not JUST announce it...
I don't get it...what's the big deal in keeping it a secret...
One might want to keep their condition under wraps in the beginning but once you start showing they still play games...JUST ANNOUNCE IT !!!!
Look it JoLo...she was sooo preggers & still wouldn't announce it...
JUST announce the happy news & the papparazzi will "maybe" leave them along BUT NO, these celebrities go around making it a bigger deal & THEN it becomes a BIG DEAL...
I think those celebrities do that on PURPOSE because although they cry all the time about being hounded & have no privacy...they actually like being hounded...and have their picture taken & chased after...
Lastly, I am not a the papparazzi's side...I do not condone stories that are lies, unflattering or name-calling, etc...
Maybe if the papparazzi were nicer & alittle more tamed when gettting a story they might actually get alittle more cooperation from the other side...

Why is so much printed about these (mostly)spoiled,egotistical "people"-they chose their line of work so if they don't like the publicity then for craps sake-change their line of work. Afterall,we poor "commoners",who PAY to see their movies,etc. DO help pay their salaries-poor darlings. They all need to get over themselves-there are no real "stars" anymore with class-

shotput said:

leave the poor woman alone and let her live. THe media loves to be the first to ponce on what ever might turn into a good storie. Unfortunatley they always choose celebrities, ie lisa mari who just happens to be the daughter of an icon.
IF she wasn't ELVIS daughter she would be famous for her herself.

inblognito said:

shotput ~ there are so many things wrong with your comment! 1st. it's pounce not ponce. 2nd. it's story not storie. 3rd. it's unfortunately not unfortunatley. for the luv of god, pull out a dictionary!

but you said it. she is a daughter of an icon. period! she tried to release an album and fell on her face. if she wasn't a daughter of an icon, she would be nothing at all. i say she needs to get over herself 2. the world is not going to follow her around because she is having her third kid.

You know, I don't know how many different ways or how many times I can say this. People like Lisa-Marie Presley were born into stardom. She certainly did not ask for it. Lisa-Marie strikes me as a very private (head-strong) intelligent lady.

I don't imagine she has had the easiest life. Money certainly could never pay for the life she led or some of the unfortunate things she had to see in her young life. We don't know the half of it. (Ha, ha, paparazzi, there are some things you can't get your hands on).

Then don't blame her if she comes across as a spoiled child. She was a spoiled child, (wake up people). Again, not her choice.

God damn it people, just leave the girl alone. I'm sure she would have let the press know when she was ready. But no, because they haven't gotten a statement, they have to make up things until she breaks.

Get a life!!

load of crap! said:

I think this whole story is a PR stunt! I don't think anyone really cares if she is preggers or not. She is not a celebrity. She may be the daughter of Elvis, but that's it! This story will bring her and her mom some much wanted press. Her mother is going to be on Dances w/ Stars. They both are trying to drum up publicity for themselves. Lisa knew that making a statement like this would FINALLY make people acknowledge that she still exists. All PR people!

Do I care who is pregnant anymore uhhhhhh No! don't get me wrong I think it is a blessing but I really don't care who is pregnant or who is with whom.

was hurting....now bitter said:

Load of crap....you sure you're not also known as JD?

Ellen said:

I for one would not want to live my life in the public eye simply for being born to famous parents.

I think there is a lot in there to be angry/frustrated about.

I agree with Cheryl. Well said.

Pregnant people usually consider that state very private and even sacred. Anyone here annouce it to the papers when they were pregnant? I think a birth announcement is traditional.

Lisa Marie should have all the privacy she can secure.

I wonder if she shares firewood with the poorer masses?

The person who said, and I quote, "SHE IS ONLY THE DAUGHTER OF ELVIS, Well , SHE IS A ONE & ONLY OF THE ONE & ONLY KING OF ROCKnROLL! I THINK THAT IS QUITE SOMETHING TO BE! IF SHE WAS SO SPOILED SHE WOULDN"T OF BEEN WOMAN ENOUGH TO TURN DOWN HER INHERTANCE AT THE AGE OF 21 BECAUSE SHE WASN"T MATURE ENOUGH! I DOUBT IF ANY ONE OF US COULD HAVE DONE T H A T!!!

I since a little jelouisness on alot of U out there! She is beautiful & smart & has money all of which alot of you don't seem to have!!!

Ellen said:

A note on Lisa Marie's beauty...

She looks exactly like her Dad.Exactly.

De said:

I think it's really sad that people can't put themselves in her shoes for a moment. I bet it's tough to be this icon all her life because of her father being so famous. Why tell everyone your pregnant right away? So all the stories can start about how your getting so big it must be twins? I think everyone that posted mean things are jealous and malicious. Until you live that life style you don't know what it's like. Ease up on celebrities there only people! Lisa Marie is GORGEOUS, successful (even out of her father's shadow), and ruch. I can see what there is to be jealous of, but chill out.

"BlogBrat" said:

Whoever posted the multiple """" under my name..."Thanks"...:) I really needed that "laugh"...No other "stalker" has done that before...It was "too funny"...

butterbean said:

BB I say you find another punctuation mark to add to your quotes. That would send them over the edge, down the cliff, on to the rocks, and SPLAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said:

i think it is her right to tell if she is pregnant or not i certainly wouldn't appreciate the whole country pestering in my personal life so i think it is time we all gave her a break and let it be.

lkay said:

ok, blog brat, i give up --- what's up with the quotation marks around everything?

kimberly said:
