Lisa Marie Presley is pissed that Riley Keough is engaged to Alex Pettyfer

It is an unequivocal truth that Lisa Marie Presley has one of the best bitchfaces in the business, and I’d really hate to have it directed towards myself in any shape or form. At present, this week’s Enquirer would have us believe that it it decidedly aiming itself straight towards Alex Pettyfer, who (as Kaiser reported last week) is probably disastrously engaged to Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough. I’m sure there are a variety of reasons why Lisa Marie doesn’t want Riley to get married. For starters, she’s super young at age 22 to walk down the aisle, and since Lisa Marie herself is allegedly struggling to keep her own fourth marriage together, it’s safe to say that she doesn’t want her daughter starting down the same path that she followed.

Certainly, Lisa Marie’s concern might have a little bit to do with Alex as well. I mean, the guy has a “Thank You” tattoo above his crotch. He’s also an alleged psycho stalker and pyromaniac and a confirmed douchebag as well. In other words, Alex isn’t exactly ideal son-in-law material. Furthermore and according to the Enquirer, Lisa Marie is very concerned that he could be after the Presley fortune:

It’s an all-out battle between Lisa Marie Presley and her wild-child daughter Riley over the 22-year-old actress’ surprise engagement to British actor Alex Pettyfer.

Four-times-wed Lisa Marie — who’s desperately trying to stop her daughter from following hin her disastrous marital footsteps — is vowing to block the wedding, convinced that Pettyfer, known to have a bad temper and a vulgar mouth, is just after the Presley fortune, say sources.

“Lisa Marie doesn’t believe this marriage has a chance in hell of lasting,” declared a close source. “Riley has terrible taste in men. She’s dated womanizing pop star Ryan Cabrera and a number of irresponsible, pretty-boy male model-types. LIsa Marie thinks her daughter is far too young and impressionable to understand what she’s getting into.

She’s worried that Alex just wants to sink his hands into the Presley family fortune,” estimated at more than $300 million.

To complicate matters more, Alex, 21, and Riley are both tied up with their careers. She has four movies coming out in 2012 alone.

Despite the furious protests of her 44-year-old mom — whose bizarre marriage to Michael Jackson lasted less than two years — lovestruck Riley is standing her ground.

“The engagement news is ripping the Presley family apart,” divulged an insider. “Riley is ready to go forward — with or without her mom’s blessing. Worse yet, RIley has been telling friends she wants Alex’s baby, and she’s been hinting she’s already pregnant. That would be Lisa Marie’s worst nightmare.”

After just six months of dating, Elvis’ granddaughter got engaged to Alex, who co-starred with her in the movie Magic Mike. Pettyfer plays a male stripper, Riley his exotic dancer lover.

Following the revelation they’ll soon walk down the aisle, a thrilled Alex tweeted: “I’m very happy in my personal life.”

On March 12, a radiant Riley was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a gleaming diamond engagement rng when she and Alex went on a lunch date.

Naturally, the story goes on to mention Alex’s somewhat dark (but mostly douchey) past that I touched upon at the top of this story. Lisa Marie probably won’t be able to stop this marriage from happening no matter how hard she tries, but at the very least, she can make sure all the legal steps are taken to keep Alex’s paws off Elvis’ money. Both Riley and Alex are young, and it does not bode well that they met on the set of a stripper movie. Hopefully, Riley’s not pregnant too.

Also, Alex’s hair is a crime against humanity. That’s reason enough to dislike the boy from a potential mother-in-law perspective, right?

    Lisa Marie looks so scary and she carries so much hate in those eyes. she scares the cr*p out of me! *shivers down my spine*

    • gee says:

      Personally, I think they’re sad eyes, not angry.. but she is one lady I would not want to piss off!

  2. hillbilly in the corner says:

    Rewind back 21 yrs ago…..Pricilla was objectiving against Liza’a marriage to Rileys father on the same grounds….HMMMMMmmmmmmmm ..da ju vu

    • NoNameYet says:

      If you don’t want your kids following in your footsteps, then you need to reconsider how you’re living your life.

      Parents are models. Don’t be surprised when our children do what we do, good or bad.

      • LeeLoo says:

        Riley could be making better choices. My mom was married 4 times. She also abandoned me with one of her husbands (my adopted father). I made the choice a very long time ago that I was going to live differently. Sometimes I see aspects of my mom’s personality show up but I stop to reflect on them and figure out how to be different. It’s a choice and I’m sure money is playing a huge part in these both Riley and Lisa Marie’s choices.

    • mln76 says:

      And if you go back another 20 or so Pricilla (who Riley really resembles IMO) married way, way too young also.

      • Sweettart says:

        I agree, that is the first thing I thought when I saw a picture of Riley. She looks exactly like Priscilla.

        You would hope that at some point someone in that family line would realize that they make a mess of relationships and try to figure it out.

        And if they don’t have the Presley money in a trust, they are flat out stupid.

    She is sooooo gorgeous, it is crazy!

  4. Shay Kay says:

    So Lisa Marie wants her daughter to take marital advice from her..hmmmmmmm..
    well no because after the first two marriages she’s evidentally failed to take her own advice. Children learn from what they see much more than what they’re told..thus Priscilla becoming involved with Presley while still teething could be the root of the problem. Hopefully someone gets through to Riley but I seriously doubt it’s gonna be her mature, responsible mother mostly because Lisa Marie seems to be neither of those things.

  5. Sapphire says:

    Awsome bitchface-wish I could even come near it! Not that I blame her. The true test for the douche is what will he do without access to the cash.

  6. Kerfuffles says:

    From a completely shallow perspective, Riley and Alex would likely have absolutely beautiful children.

    From a practical perspective, yeah these two are way too immature, volatile and flakey to be getting married, much less having kids.

  7. Sloane Wyatt says:

    Riley is lovely. Maybe Lisa Marie is pissed because Alex P isn’t CO$!

  8. lisa says:

    She always looks so hard. Every time I see her I’m reminded of a biker chick. She has so much money but she looks so low rent.

    the daughter is pretty.. and the guy for some reason reminds me of Ryan Phillipe.

  9. Talie says:

    Wasn’t there a rumor that Dianna Agron was pregnant by him and got an abortion–I think Ted C. floated that, no? That was the real reason it all fell apart.

  10. Eileen says:

    Riley, you in danger girl!
    Ugh as a mother I am feeling for LMP-this has disaster written all over it.

  11. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    There’s something about him that just feels off to me, but maybe I’ve just read too many articles about what a psycho he was in the whole Dianna Agron debacle.

    I’d be worried too if my 22 year old daughter was engaged to him. They are both very young and it seems like a volatile relationship. I guess there’s always worries about the money when there’s so much involved, but she’d probably feel that with anyone her kids got engaged to.

    She hasn’t set the best example and in my experience, kids that grow up in very unstable homes often want to get married early and try to create the home they wish they’d had…baby right away etc. Often it doesn’t work out because sometimes it’s not the person they are in love with but the idea of the perfect relationship and white picket fence thing that they wish they’d had.

    I don’t know if that’s true in Riley’s case but coming from a family like that it wouldn’t surprise me (although from what I’ve heard Lisa Marie and her former ex-dh (Riley’s Dad) have been good parents to her and her brother).

    Whatever happens, I hope for the best for everyone involved, especially if she is pregnant. I think she’s very pretty and is just beginning what looks like it might be a really good acting career. I hope she doesn’t rush into marriage. Stay engaged for a while and see how it goes.

  12. nina says:

    he’s got a crazy eye, I wouldn’t trust him either

  13. Lisa says:

    Lisa Marie once said she likes “hardcore f@cking,” like straight up porno sex. That’s all I think of when I see her now.

  14. fabgrrl says:

    Why are people assuming this guy is a gold digger? Riley Keough is a beautiful and sexy young woman. I’d think men would flock to her even if she wasn’t rich and famous.

    Not that I think this marriage is a good idea AT ALL. Seriously, LMP, what did you expect? LMP married at about 20, and so did Priscilla (after living with an adult man starting at 14 years old!). Frankly, I’m surprised Riley is still single!

  15. Leikyn says:

    Pot Meet Kettle.

  16. anonymoose says:

    If I were Lisa Marie, I’d be pissed that someone took my picture with that terrible raccoon eye make-up, and took my daughter’s picture wearing those FUGLY Ugg boots.

  17. Princess Lizabeth says:

    Whoo, Lisa Marie looks mean. On the other hand, she looks a lot like her father…maybe it’s just a genetic thing.

    I never understood the whole Elvis phenomenon. My Mother-in-Law LOVES him. Maybe liking Elvis is a genetic thing too! 🙂

  18. KST says:

    god! riley keough is really beautiful girl! sorry im not care her mother

  19. Bella says:

    New money looking for old money. AKA Fortune Hunter.

  20. San Francisco says:

    what’s up with the sweat pants in that photo? Looks like she sporting a wee boner

  21. Chris says:

    So many lies about Alex Pettyfer in this article that they can hardly be enumerated. But among them, Alex does not have a THANK YOU tattoo, Dianna Agron herself denied that he “stalked” her, the ones to allege that he is a pyromaniac is libelousmweb sites suchnas this one, I could go on. but my very, very favorite thing about this article is it quotes a fake Alex Pettyfer on Twitter. Good going asshats. You are dumber than a box of rocks.

  22. judy says:

    Lisa has total control over the money. It all went to her not her kids because she was a kid herself when he died. I dout oe iota ifb sheis worried about that money lol Lisa didn;t hand out her monbey on her divorces either. The kid will have a pre nup or Kisa will cut her off and out of the will. Lisa isn’t about to dole on $$to some guy . lol If you think she has that bitch face down you should mess with her andwatch the shit fly.

    • Chris says:

      Doesn’t matter who controls the money, because the concept of Alex Pettyfer as a gold digger is laughable. He is already wealthy, raised in the lap of luxury, and has plenty of his own money.

  23. Marie says:

    Years ago everybody was thinking that Michael Jackson was a gold digger after the Presley fortune when he married Lisa Marie? If I were a man I would stay away from these Presley women. They are so full of themselves and disrespectful. They think they are so hot and that all the men out there want to either have sex with them or steal their Elvis Presley money. Thay think they are at the center of the universe because of their last name Presley.

    • Marilyn says:

      Michael had millions of own. What the heck does he need the Presley money for. Priscilla got control of the Elvis money which I never understood since she was divorced. What about the girl that Elvis was engaged too. Priscilla is an ex wife. She needs to start acting like one. Stay out of your daughters life she is an adult. She will learn from her mistakes like we did. The more Lisa pushes. The closer Riley and Alex will become. We know this.

  24. Ravensdaughter says:

    Riley looks like Priscilla-very pretty girl.

  25. Brenda says:

    They are a very pretty family. Or at least they used to before poor Priscilla messed her beautiful face up.

  26. Marilyn says:

    Oh by the way Lisa doesn’t scare me at all with her look/eyes We all can put on a bitchface. It’s nothing special.

  27. Rosanna's Bitch says:

    Lisa Marie is no doubt a very strong woman who clearly wears the pants in the household. Making her angry would be doom for any male.
