Lisa Marie Presley is the latest celebrity to join the twin trend. I was desperate to have them, reducing my fat pregnant prison sentences by nine months, and now we’ve got people popping them out all over Hollywood. For Lisa Marie, the source of the twins is no mystery since they run on both sides of her family:
The singer’s mother, Priscilla Presley, has confirmed her daughter is expecting a double bundle of joy this autumn.
Priscilla reveals, “She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they’re having and when it’s time to make the announcement.”
The new arrivals will follow a family tradition – Lisa Marie’s rock legend dad, Elvis, was a twin, and Priscilla has twin brothers.
I wouldn’t call twins a ‘family tradition’ when it is really more genetics. With twins on both sides of the family I’m surprised that Lisa Marie hasn’t had twins during one of her previous pregnancies. She has a 19-year old daughter Dannielle and a 16-year-old son Benjamin from her first marriage. She is currently married to music producer Michael Lockwood.
I’m not sure how Lisa Marie feels about her mother blabbing all around town that she’s having twins, I have a family member who can’t keep his mouth shut, so now he’s always the last to know news. I want to tell people myself! Priscilla has in the past sort-of confirmed the twins to paparazzi. I think she’s just very excited – it must be nice to have new grandbabies when your others are getting all grown up.
I’m not sure when Lisa Marie is due to have her babies but it must be getting close as Pink threw her a baby shower last weekend, and it is six months since the news of her pregnancy was confirmed.
Other celebrity mothers to have twins or announce twin pregnancies include Jennifer Lopez, Rebecca Romijn, Marcia Cross, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie and Holly Hunter.

Just as an aside, Lisa Marie’s “19 year old daughter Danielle” is also known as the model Riley Keogh. I believe she uses her middle name and her father’s last name, but her pout is all Presley.
Her daughter is a knock out. Looks more like a young Priscilla.
Just as an aside, most people who read gossip already know her daughter is aka as Riley, because she (at last check) is still dating Ashlee Simpson’s ex Ryan Cabrera.
I am desperately hoping that the twins resemble Lisa Marie. She may not be the most gorgeous woman on the planet, but her husband is the weirdest looking man! Maybe she just likes freaks or something.
Holly Hunter is having twins? That woman is tiny where she gonna keep em?
Would that be “Federal Judge Ryan Cabrera”? :=)
The “People’s News” has made him famous in an entirely different dimension…
@I choose me – Holly Hunter had twin boys in January, 2006.
@Syko- I’m not sure if you meant it in a rude way, but saying that her husband is weird looking seemed mean. We can’t help what we look like and maybe she loves him for his heart or kindness, or even quite possibly, his looks.
@ Kristin – he can’t help how he looks, but can certainly help dressing like some sort of a clown and wearing his hair like that.
It’s quite possible she likes his looks, though, since she also married Michael Jackson.
We’re allowed to be bitchy and snippy on this site. I would, of course, never mock him to his face, but this is where we get rid of repressed emotions. Please go over to one of the Brad/Angelina posts and jump on the rude people there. They need it a lot more than I do.
Elvis “The Pelvis” also had a twin, but he wouldn’t have gone into show biz, as his name was Enos.
The Presley twins were Elvis Aron and Jesse Garon.
@syko, my dad’s favourite comment about me and my sister’s boyfiends when we first started dating was ‘Did he get dressed in the dark?’ I think he’d be 100% agreeing with you here, as I am!
