The Daily Mail, the respected British news source that today leads with Jennifer Aniston in a pink bikini, is picking up a report from Star magazine that Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis and terrible singer, is pregnant with twins.
Funny, because wasn’t the Mail most recently reporting Presley was fat because she was binging?
Yes, actually, they were ??? and it pissed her off so much that she’s suing them under the U.K.’s less stringent libel laws.
Maybe we’re witnessing the settlement agreement in effect?
Being called fat upsets Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of the legendary rocker who died in his bathroom, well, fat. So upset is she with the Daily Mail, Presley is suing them in Britain over claims she was piling on the pounds due to excessive eating. Not lost on Presley: Libel laws are grossly more stringent abroad than they are in the U.S., so proving the newspaper acted maliciously is a helluva lot easier.
For the record, Presley is gaining weight because she is pregnant. And overeating for two.
