Her dad Elvis got fat on fried peanut butter and banana samiches but Lisa Marie Presley insists she's not following in his footsteps. She's not 40 and fat - she's 40 and pregnant! Now she's going to sue a British newspaper for calling "first" in the media to call her out on her growing size. Since then, Lisa Marie has had to admit that she is indeed pregnant. But don't call her fat.
Presley alleges in a suit filed at London's High Court on Friday that the story in the Daily Mail was slanderous and degrading. The newspaper has since reported on the 40-year-old singer's pregnancy.
"Once they got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight," she said on her blog.
Presley claims the pictures taken at a Hollywood restaurant last week forced her to go public about the baby (her third) she is having with her fourth husband, music producer Michael Lockwood.
"It really upset her," Presley's attorney Jo Paton told The Associated Press. "She was about to
announce her pregnancy and was shocked and hurt by the unkind article about her appearance."
Presley is seeking an apology and damages.The Daily Mail said the first indication they had of Presley's complaint was when they were served with court documents."We are investigating the matter," the newspaper said in a statement.
