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?

The first person who screams “WHO?” in the comments is going to get a spanking. And not the good kind. Come here. I will explain who these people are, and why you should care. Alex Pettyfer is the 21-year-old English actor who stormed Hollywood last year with lead roles in Beastly and I Am Number Four, plus a supporting part in In Time. Unfortunately for Alex, none of those films did very well at the box office. Even more unfortunate were the many, many stories about his bad attitude, his unprofessional behavior, his narcissism, and his temper tantrums. Oh, and in interviews, he comes across as the male Megan Fox (Fox circa 2009) – full of it, self-defeating, trying-to-be-smart, but rather vapid.

He’s getting a second chance in Hollywood, though – he got a big part in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, where he plays a stripper in an ensemble that includes Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, and several others. It comes out this summer. While Alex was filming Magic Mike last year, he met a girl. They fell in love. And now they’re probably engaged. The girl? Riley Keough, best known as the daughter of Lisa-Marie Presley and Elvis Presley’s granddaughter. Riley has been modeling for years, and her film career is a few years old too. Riley is 22. She’s probably a Scientologist too, wouldn’t you say?

Well, that was fast! The last Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough has locked in her hunka-hunka burnin’ love!

After about six months of dating, Lisa Marie Presley’s model-actress daughter, 22, is engaged to Alex Pettyfer, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

After connecting as costars on the upcoming male stripper flick Magic Mike, Keough and the British actor, 21, were first photographed smooching last October. And on Monday, the twosome grabbed lunch at Le Petit Four in L.A. –with Keough sporting an engagement ring.

Pettyfer, who strips down alongside Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello and Matthew Bomer in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, has previously dated actresses Emma Roberts and Dianna Agron.

Keough’s exes include Ryan Cabrera and Jonah Hill.

Good God, this has disaster written all over it. The last time Alex had a Hollywood girlfriend, it was Dianna Agron, and after they split up, Dianna made sure that everyone knew he was a “psycho” and a “stalker”. Of course, Dianna was actually screwing around on him (oops) with Sebastian Stan, just as Alex thought, so who believes her? Still, I think Alex probably is a very young, temperamental bastard. And Riley is… well, I don’t know anything about her. She’s very pretty. She’s just as young. She probably rolls with Xenu. I’m telling you… DISASTER.

We all know that Alex Pettyfer is a d-bag extraordinaire. Here are some of the words that have been used to describe him by interviewers, Hollywood insiders, and random sources who have interacted with him: psycho, stalker, crazy, arrogant, temperamental, conceited, smug, nasty and douchebag. One of the last pieces of press he did was a cover story for VMAN Magazine (the photos in this post are courtesy of VMAN’s slideshow). In the VMAN piece, Alex bitched and moaned about living in LA, how the town was full of c-bombs, and how he was too cultured and important to be living there. Well, Alex’s publicist finally realized the problem: he (the publicist) needed to be standing right next to Alex every time the kid gave an interview. That’s what happened in this little Q&A with E! News – Alex has been told to simmer down, be nice, don’t be a d-bag, and even then, his publicist still stands right there and interjects comments, just so Alex won’t forget himself and mouth off.

Forget what you’ve heard or read. British import and Dianna Agron ex Alex Pettyfer is just a boring family guy, according to…himself. And he doesn’t have “thank you” inked above his nether regions, as has been recently reported.

“You know everyone thinks it says ‘Thank you,’” he told me last night in NYC.

So what does the treasure trail tattoo actually say?

“It says my name, ‘Alex.’ It’s boring,” he laughed while taking in the Hugo on Greene Street party at the Hugo Boss store. “He [the writer of the story] said that, not me.”

Since we all know he’s not a fan of L.A. (he called it a “s–thole”), I asked how New York compares.

“I love New York,” he quickly replied, “I love L.A., too. I love both places.”

Come again? Because you sure didn’t sound like you were a fan of Hollywood when you called it “socially disgusting.”

“I don’t think I was so much misquoted but misunderstood,” he explained.

“The most misunderstood boy in America,” his publicist helpfully piped in.

Either that, or perhaps the most reformed? Figuring there had to be some shocking, off-color quotes left in him, I asked Alex what he would spend his final days doing if the world really ended on May 21.

“I would visit my family and spend the rest of my days with my loved ones,” he offered. So maybe he’s boring after all. Or maybe not. After all, he’s playing a stripper in his latest movie, which is based on the life of one Channing Tatum.

“I’m a little nervous,” he confessed.

[From E! News]

“The most misunderstood boy in America!” Jeez. I don’t think we’ve gotten him THAT wrong, honestly. I’ve heard enough stories about him where I pretty much know he’s a d-bag. The question is, does the asshat come with talent? You see, no one will stick around long enough to find out if he’s a good actor if he continues to act psycho.

But I do think this interview shows that Alex has been subdued. That he capable of (pardon my language) eating sh-t. That he can play nice. Maybe being offered “the Channing Tatum role” is helping him see the error of his ways. Probably not. We’ll probably have another d-bag implosion shortly.

E! News’ Ted “Insufferable Blind Item” Casablanca got his hands on an advanced copy of the new issue of VMAN, and Casablanca is leaking this junk right away. I suppose because the quotes are so good, and Ted is trying to firmly establish himself as Team Argon. Just is case you’re sitting there with a “Who the F?” expression, Alex Pettyfer is that kid who was supposed to be The Next Big Thing until everybody realized he was a massive d-bag. Alex was in I Am Number Four, Beastly, and…? Yeah. He also dated Dianna Argon, and after she dumped him (maybe?), he stalked her (perhaps?). So… is Alex just sitting around, attempting humility? Not so much. He’s being a douche in this new interview. Here’s part of Ted’s piece:

The interview young and recently single actor Alex Pettyfer just gave the seasonal VMAN magazine—the male spinoff of V magazine—is beyond stunning. The 21-year-old, who had one explosive, literally, and messy breakup with Glee’s pretty gal Dianna Agron, is officially off his English rocker. And he did not censor a thing in demonstrating his crazed hatred of Los Angeles.

Wonder if the producers who ultimately didn’t choose Alex for the plum role of Peeta in The Hunger Games had an inkling of scandalous things to come? Possible. Not only does the I Am Number Four star trash the town that made him rich, but he shows off his misogynistic mouth, to boot. Could you imagine a man like this being the lead figure in a brand-new major movie franchise?

Ironically, in the interview Pettyfer vouches he doesn’t drink or do drugs, but the dude has to be on something to have the audacity to say some of the things he did. Let’s start with some of his personal body art, or rather, one major physical flaw.

He revealed to the magazine that he has a tattoo above his crotch that reads thank you. “In case I forget to say it,” he explained while winking.

Regardless of his career take-off, Alex had some ungrateful, vulgar words for the L.A. lifestyle, even telling the reporter he was well aware that every sick word would be printed and that he found it “f–king funny.”

“L.A. is growing on me a little bit but it’s still a s–t hole,” Pettyfer spewed. “I think it’s this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it’s fantastic, but socially it’s disgusting. I wish they’d run all the c–ts out.”

The crude actor also mentioned, of course, that he cannot stand red carpet events.

“I really don’t give a s–t about any of that,” his potty mouth persisted. “I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.”

“Being an actor is like being in prison,” the once aspiring actor said. “You go, you serve your time, you try and replicate Johnny Depp’s career and then you move to Paris.”

[From E! News]

I think the misogyny is supposed to be when Alex drops the c-bomb, but that doesn’t bother me on a feminst level (when Goop did it, it didn’t bother me on a feminist level either, I just thought she was an idiot). I tend to think that when Alex dropped the c-bomb, he was using it in the British way, as a catchall for men and women who pissed him off.

But yeah, the kid’s a major d-bag. Whiny, arrogant, immature, nasty. What great personality trait additions to go along with “psycho” and “stalker” which is what I was using before. I wonder what Paul Bettany would say about this litany of butt-hurt-ness.

Ever since I finally figured out who Alex Pettyfer is, I’ve been inundated with tabloid stories about what a massive douche he is. Most of the stories come from Us Weekly, which indicates to me that Alex must have done something to piss off the editors at some point. Either that, or Us Weekly just has very Dianna Agron-heavy sources. I think The Hollywood Reporter got the ball rolling when they profiled Alex’s rise to douchedom, but everything went a little crazy right after Alex and Dianna split up. Suddenly, it was okay to insinuate that Alex was and is a stalker, predator, psycho and maybe even a pyromaniac. It also became okay to openly discuss how Alex’s drama is unwanted in Hollywood. So, you would assume that Alex has been off somewhere, licking his wounds, right? Not so much, according to Us Weekly. They had this little report in this week’s issue:

Beastly star Alex Pettyfer won’t be losing that rough reputation any time soon. The Brit, 20 – who had a meltdown at a club February 18 after he split from Dianna Agron, 24 – showed up to a recent magazine photo shoot two hours late!

He said, “For the cover, I would have been on time,” reveals an insider. Says the actor’s rep: “Absolute nonsense.”

[From Us Weekly, print edition]

Yeah. His people denied all of those other reports too, but the sheer volume of detailed reporting regarding his dram queen antics have made me a believer. So, I believe this story. This happened. And Alex still doesn’t get that he’s completely replaceable.

Alex Pettyfer has a bad reputation. It’s not the standard issue “Hollywood Bad Boy” reputation either. Because the kid is so relatively unknown, untested, and unproven, the portrait being formed of Pettyfer amongst gossip circles is quite sinister, and it could seriously have long-lasting effects on his career. People are throwing around words like “psycho” and “predator” – along with “unprofessional” and “douche” and “immature”. I don’t know… I’ve almost started feeling bad for the kid. Maybe that’s because I don’t know what he’s really like, and I kind of feel like there’s an anti-Pettyfer campaign being waged here. Or hey, maybe the kid really is just horrible. Anyway, Us Weekly reports that given the underperformance of Beastly and I Am Number Four, plus Alex’s growing reputation as a psycho douche, Alex was uninvited from the Oscar parties in Hollywood:

Beastly behavior, indeed! A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that actor Alex Pettyfer, 20 — who flew into a jealous rage at a West Hollywood club February 18 over ex Dianna Agron — has become persona non grata in the motion-picture biz.

“His agents told him not to go to the February 26 Night Before party,” a source says of the event, which Agron, 24, attended.

Just two days earlier, Pettyfer nearly missed the premiere of Beastly after his Beverly Hills home caught fire; the blaze was put out in under 24 minutes.

The insider adds Pettyfer’s agents may fire him, since his volatile actions “have become a liability.”

For now at least, a William Morris rep tells Us that the British I Am Number Four star “is still a client.”

[From Us Weekly]

Yeah, I couldn’t find any photos of Alex out and about on Oscar weekend. Maybe he was still dealing with the aftermath of his house fire (that he may have set, for all we know). But I know that “Alex is still a client” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, and that Alex is pretty much “on notice” as we speak. He screws up one more time, pitches one more fit, goes psycho at one more party, and he will no longer have a place in Hollywood.

These are photos of Alex Pettyfer at last night’s premiere of Beastly. Alex arrived late to the premiere, but not because he’s a surly douche. Apparently, there was a fire at his house, and he had to wait with the firefighters for a short time, and that’s why he was late. According to Radar, the fire started in Alex’s detached garage, and while firefighters took care of it, “Pettyfer walked the red carpet, did interviews and introduced the film at the premiere, but left after a short time presumably to deal with the fire.” Now… considering what everyone says about Alex being a “psycho,” could it be that he maybe started this fire? For attention? For sympathy? Just because he wants to watch the world burn? Thoughts?

Anyway, this week the tabloids are full of musings on Alex’s “psycho” behavior. He has a reputation as an actor with a short fuse who “goes ballistic anytime someone says something he doesn’t agree to”. And the stories about his breakup with Dianna Agron keep coming – read this In Touch Weekly with a sinister frame of mind:

In Touch first broke the news that Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer ended their year-long romance, but now comes word that Alex showed up on the Glee set – begging Dianna for another chance.

“She wouldn’t see him,” says the insider. “And she told other people, ‘We’re over!’ Alex was always really controlling, and she finally had enough.”

Dianna, 24, was spotted wearing a diamond band on her left ring finger at recent press events. But the insider says, “The relationship is definitely off… and so is the engagement.”

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

So he shows up at her work and begs and demands to see her? Yeah… seems kind of sketchy. In addition to this seemingly innocuous story, Us Weekly’s print edition has further revelations about Alex‘s bad behavior. In addition to Dianna finding Alex to be “psycho,” Us Weekly also notes that Alex “has been losing his sh-t” after the breakup, even going so far as to make threats to Dianna over the phone: “He was on the phone with her and he absolutely lost it, screaming at her.”

Sources also say that while Dianna and Alex were together, Dianna’s personality changed from sweet good-girl to diva. In their relationship, “he calls all of the shots… he made her fire her entire management team for no apparent reason… Dianna was completely Stepford around him… she was under his spell, she was such a doormat and she could end up with him again.” An insider says that Alex had the same effect on his previous ex, Emma Roberts.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly also reports that during production of Beastly, Alex was trying to seduce Vanessa Hudgens off-camera, and she wasn’t into it. A source says: “She wasn’t interested, but he continued to pursue her. It got so bad that Vanessa couldn’t talk to him anymore. She hated him!” Vanessa wore this Julien Macdonald dress with a long train – I don’t really care for it, and it’s too tight in the bust. Also: isn’t it interesting that they didn’t pose together on the red carpet?

I Am Number Four opened in wide release last Friday. On Sunday, Us Weekly announced that the two stars of the film, British actor Alex Pettyfer and Glee starlet Dianna Agron, had split up days before. Then, the next day, some bizarre story came out about Dianna breaking up with Alex because she thought a photo shoot he did with Tyler Shields was too racy… even though the photo shoot was done before Alex and Dianna even got together. I don’t know… I didn’t write about it because I thought it was a weird, nonsensical story, and that Dianna and Alex probably broke up for other reasons. Now Us Weekly has a story about those other reasons – apparently, Alex is kind of psycho.

Glee’s Dianna Agron didn’t exactly sing a wistful ballad following her split from actor Alex Pettyfer after nearly a year together.

Since moving out of the L.A. home she and the I Am Number Four star shared about two weeks ago, Agron, 24, “is staying at a hotel under an alias” a source reveals in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.

Why the secrecy? Pettyfer, 20, has been “a psycho loose cannon” in the aftermath of the split, another insider says.

On Feb. 18, according to an eyewitness, he got into a heated confrontation at a West Hollywood club with actor Sebastian Stan — furiously accusing the Black Swan star of hooking up with Agron.

“Dianna is terrified of [Alex],” a pal explains, adding that he “absolutely lost it” and threatened Agron during a vicious phone chat. (Pettyfer’s rep tells Us he made no threats.)

[From Us Weekly]

Hmm… from what little I know of Alex, he seems like an unprofessional, narcissistic douche, and while I take even random, tabloid-y accounts of abuse and mental illness seriously, I do wonder if Us Weekly is being a little unfair to Alex. If what Us Weekly claims is true, then really what did he do? He yelled at his ex-girlfriend over the phone, and then he had a “heated confrontation” with the dude Alex thought was his ex’s jumpoff. I’m not excusing him – he does sound like he has some anger management issues, and he would benefit greatly by attempting some maturity. I’m just saying it’s not Mel Gibson territory quite yet, is it? And the kid is young – he’s 20 years old.

But if Dianna is truly worried, then it sounds like she’s taking the proper steps. Maybe a restraining order? Maybe change up her routine, and always go places with a buddy for a little while. I would be interested in knowing how often Alex is calling her or trying to speak to her.

Last year, Glee’s resident blonde princess Dianna Agron went to work on a film called I Am Number Four. The film’s lead was an English actor with hair issues named… Alex Pettyfer. At first, people thought he was going to be like the Budget Sparkles. But it turns out that Alex was a whole different kind of animal – apparently, he’s some kind of epic douche. But still, Alex and Dianna fell for each other, and several months into their relationship, he even “encouraged” her to drop her management and go with his. She’s 24 years old. He’s 20. Anyway, they tried to play the “we won’t pose together” game while promoting I Am Number Four, although there were some lapses, obviously. I Am Number Four just came out this weekend – and although expectations were high that this would do huge, number-one box office, it’s looking more and more like the film will be lucky to come in third (the weekend numbers haven’t come out at the time I’m writing this). So… opening weekend, bad numbers… good time to breakup, eh?

After less than a year of dating, I Am Number Four costars Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer have gone their separate ways. A source confirms to UsMagazine.com that the pair — set up by director D.J. Caruso — broke things off and that Agron, 24, moved out of the home she shared with her British beau, 20, last week.

The news of their split comes two weeks after the duo dodged rumors of an engagement.

“She’s an amazing woman and she’s got this old school, classic movie star elegance to her,” Pettyfer gushed to Ellen DeGeneres in January of his girlfriend. “She’s amazing.”

Agron, who appears as cheerleader Quinn Fabray on Glee, was equally as smitten by Pettyfer.

“Alex might see himself as a bad boy, but he’s actually very sweet in real life,” she told Sugar magazine in its Winter 2011 issue.

“I think it’s important to have your differences in any relationship,” she added. “I wouldn’t want to be dating a carbon copy of myself. That would just be boring.”

Agron and Pettyfer’s sci-fi flick, I Am Number Four, is in theaters now.

[From Us Weekly]

Kids today. They don’t know anything. If you get together on a movie, you have only one of two reasonable options: 1) You stay together through the film’s promotion, which includes several weeks after the film’s American opening, because God knows you have to go sell it in Europe. You want the buzz of your union to help the box office, and you’re selling the heat of your romance. OR 2) You breakup several months before the film opens so that all of your major magazine interviews in promotion of the film can be about how you’re fine and happy, and all of the promotion for the film can be pleasantly awkward, causing buzz. But by all means, DO NOT BREAKUP ON OPENING WEEKEND. That’s just stupid.

These are photos from last night’s premiere of I Am Number Four, a film I couldn’t care less about. I guess it’s supposed to be the new X-Men/Twilight thing? Meh. I probably don’t care about it much because although there is some decent gossip surrounding this junk, the celebrities involved barely register at all. Anyway, Dianna Agron (who I always think is “Diana Argon” when spelling her name) is one of the stars of the film. You may know her as — in Glee (whatever). She’s pretty, but bland. She wore this Vivienne Westwood number that… well, I would have enjoyed it on Helena Bonham Carter. On an average-pretty blonde Glee girl, the whole effect is just… oatmeal.

And here’s her boyfriend, Alex Pettyfer, the star of I Am Number Four. In my mind, he’s like the Budget Sparkles. And according to Lainey, he’s also a total jag. Meh.

Here’s the trailer for I Am Number Four:
