Gah! I’ve just spent way too long looking for new photos of Lisa Marie Presley, but we don’t have access to anything from the last few months, and I can’t find a good image of this week’s Enquirer cover! I’m sorry, people, we’ll have to make do with these slightly older images (circa October 2009). Lisa Marie still looks heavy in them, but the whole Enquirer story is really mean. According to them, her weight has “ballooned to 165 pounds”. Um… not to be rude, but she’s a lot heavier than 165 pounds.
Lisa Marie Presley’s weight has recently ballooned to 165 pounds, friends believe, and they fear new binge eating could be endangering her health.
The chunky mother of four needs to lose at least 40 pounds, medical experts say, or put herself at risk of a fatal heart attack.
Lisa Marie’s bloated body is a chilling echo of her father Elvis Presley, who packed on weight near the end of his life – and at 42, she’s the SAME AGE as The King when he died.
Shocking new photos in the print edition clearly show Lisa Marie’s dramatic weight gain, especially her paunchy midsection, and The ENQUIRER can now reveal the secret heartaches behind her potentially deadly health crisis.
Close sources say she may be traumatized by the sudden death of her ex-husband Michael Jackson, frustrated by her stalled music career and battling to shed the baby weight she never lost after giving birth to twins.
For the FULL STORY with all the exclusive details you won’t find anywhere else – pick up the new ENQUIRER — on sale now! PLUS: shocking before and after pix of the once proud beauty who now bears an eerily resemblance to her father, Elvis, at the time of his bloated death!
[From The National Enquirer]
When CB and I were talking about this story, she mentioned that these “she’s gained weight” covers must sell really well, because they keep doing them about Kirstie Alley. Then she theorized that maybe it had something to do with Xenu. Which I thought she meant “Xenu commands you to eat donuts, fried chicken and gravy.” But she meant something else, so nevermind!
Also, the first thing I thought when I saw these photos is that she may be pregnant again? Discuss.

I meant that the Enquirer might have a (rightful) beef with Scientology, but I think it’s more like the weight gain covers just sell for them.

Well, 165lb at 5’3″ gives her a BMI of 29.2, which is still in the Overweight category. BMI of 30 or over is Obese, or “ZOMG YOUR GUNA DROP DED NAO” category as these “experts” like to intimate.

That’s not 165 pounds unless she’s only 5’2.

She does look pregnant…but whatever she is, I hope she is happier than her face suggests.

I highly doubt she is in danger of dying just from getting a little pudgy. Come on, she’s not morbidly obese and has been for years, she’s a little chunky. I get she’s not being healthy, but what’s with the death watch?
And um, btw she doesn’t need to lose AT LEAST 40 lbs. to be OK – I’m 5’2″ and 130…I run 5 days a week and am healthy as a horse.

OMG…165 is just sooooooooooooo huge!!
How tall is she? Oh…says she’s 5’3″. That is a little big for that height…but not exactly BALLOONING. geez…

“medical experts say she needs to drop 40 pounds or she’ll drop dead”… what fucking hogwash I swear… That is so ridiculous and sad to be calling someone’s death like that… just sort of makes me sick and sad at the type of world we live in… I guess I should go around screaming “you better lose weight or you’re gonna DIE” to every fat person I see from now on :/

Didn’t she renounce America and move to England? I guess the food must be good over there, despite reports.

She definitely looks heavier than 165 in those photos, so maybe they’re being kind when they say that. They could have said 200lbs and I wouldn’t have thought twice.
The BMI scale is a little misleading especially if you are naturally muscular as it is a weight/height scale and muscle weighs more. While a BMI of 30 is classed as Obese, the life threatening stuff isn’t really until 35-40.
@ padiddle – yeah, if she’s 165, having to lose 40 to be healthy is poppycock.

That entire article is mean! I can’t deny that she does look like she weighs WAY more than 165 pounds, though. More like 265. BUT is it really necessary to pick on her? Sheesh. And pointing out that she’s the same age her father was when he died and comparing her to him in that way is just cruel. Of course, it’s the Enquirer, what do I expect, but dayum! I wish they would just leave her alone. That’s probably all she wants. The daughter of “the King” should be shown some respect, IMHO.

At 165 pounds, she isn’t going to be dying any time soon. These magazines are SO unfair. As for ‘stalled’ music career, Lisa publicly came out and retired from the music scene, she left by choice. I applaud her for releasing a few records, living under that shadow must be difficult. I’m sure given she just turned the age of her father’s passing she must be incredibly stressed, not to mention Michael Jackson’s death. Plus, she had twins and is obviously still losing weight. I’m sure in due time, Lisa will lose weight when and if she decides to do so.

Yes, she’s put on some weight. But unless she’s a hardcore drug user burning the candle at both ends, I’d hardly say it’s a “chilling echo” of her father.

Who doesn’t put on weight during menopause???

Haha, wow, I WISH I was 165. I DREAM of 165. Last time I was that thin, I think I was in 9th grade. But OMFG she’s gonna die, she’s such a whale!!! Pfffft.

ughh. Im so sick of hearing about celebrities weight. I always liked Lisa Maria, dont care what she weighs but I highly doubt she is in any life threatening danger @165 lbs. Im not saying its healthy but I think they just needed a story and celeb to bash and a pic of her came by at the right time.

@ sumodo1: Menopause at 42? Really? Never heard of that unless someone has a hysterectomy. More like 52.

Tia C – I have a fried who is in the early stages of menopause at 35 and my mother went through it at 45, but my m-i-l didn’t until 50. So I think it is depending on your own body.
I think Lisa Marie still looks good.

You must be doing alright if the only thing the trash mags can come up with to gossip about are how big or small you are at the moment.

@ 165lbs she needs to lose at LEAST 40lbs. for gods sake if she’s 165lbs she probably needs to lose about 20lbs to be in the healthy range but there are milllions of middle aged women that weight who aren’t going to drop dead. she’s a bit over weight- she’s not morbidly obese

Why the heck does the Enquirer care so damn much what women weigh? Especially these women who aren’t the face for a clothing or makeup line, the spokesperson for a healthy food product, the star of a recent hit television show or movie…
You must be right about them being hot sellers.

@ Dorothy – I know that happens. I’m guessing (because I’m not an ob/gyn) that early menopause is the exception, not the rule. There are always exceptions. I just thought that for someone to make a blanket statement that Lisa Marie is going through menopause just because she’s 42 is kind of an insulting (and dumb) thing to say. Obviously the woman is still fertile, she just had twins recently.

She does kind of look pregnant. And it looks like she is trying to hide her stomach with the scarf. She gained a great deal of weight with the twins. That is her son, Benjamin, next to her in the one pic. He has Elvis’ eyes and favors Lisa Marie.

I am tired of all these attacks on the women.
I want to see the Enquirer attack the fat men in the entertainment business.
Just look at all the FAT men in LA. Have they ever blew up a picture of any of them and put them on a death watch?
Ask the brutal question if they have seen their penis in the last decade while standing up?
I can name at least 12 male actors working on high profile shows or movies with their guts hanging over the top of their pants.
But yet we never see the Enquirer pointing and mocking them.

I’m 165 and 5’2″ and I’m a size 8-10. But I guess in Hollywood that’s ginormous.

Unless those are just really bad photos, she’s at much more than 165. If she is a tall woman, 165 wouldn’t necessarily be an unhealthy weight. She doesn’t look out of control here. She looks post-pregnancy.

No way. I’m 3 inches taller than her and I weigh 225 pounds. She’s 200 pounds easily. I don’t even think these are the heaviest snaps I’ve seen her at. She was quite big about three or so years ago.
What is with that cult of theirs (though the gossip is that Lisa Marie is severing ties) that they supposedly achieve “superpowers” the higher up “the ladder”, (which is to say the more they shell out), but they can’t do something as relatively simple as maintain a reasonable weight? John, Kirstie? Care to comment?

Can you say “karma” everyone? Portly Presley announced to the world, among other vile things, that Michael was “not sexually seductive” and a “freak.” Michael was neither of those. She on the other hand, fits the descriptions QUITE WELL. Maybe she should have kept her big mouth shut to both bashing an angel of a human being and FOOD. I hope she hits the 300 pound mark. She SOOOOO deserves it and so much more.

Where are the fact checkers? WHERE did 165 lbs. come from? Someone pulled that from their ass.
I saw Lisa Presley in January at Graceland and she was petite and tiny, NOT FAT, NOT chunky, not overweight.
And menopause? She had twins a little over a year ago. How stupid was that comment? And then to debate it?
Find someone else to slander. Find someone else besides the Presley family to feed your family.
Do you have the guts to post this?

OMG, I couldn’t believe some of these comments. OK,ladies, Lisa has 2 year old twins, she may have had some trouble with losing the baby weight, but seriously, how would you like it if someone bashed on your BFF like this? She’s a beautiful woman, and if you watched the Oprah interveiw in October, 2010, she looked good. Certainly not porky, so I think we should deep 6 the Oink Oink coments!!! Love you Lisa, and I want to extend my ondolances on the loss of Michael.
