Lisa Marie Presley on 2/10/07
There are so many pregnant celebrities right now, I can’t even keep track of them all. Now, it looks like Lisa Marie Presley could be added to that list. The National Enquirer claims that the 40-year-old daughter of Elvis Presley is pregnant with her third child.

Lisa Marie Presley is pregnant at 40, say pals. Elvis’ “little girl” - married to husband No. 4- “knows the risks of a pregnancy at her age” but is determined to have this baby and make their new life complete, a close friend told the Enquirer.

“She’s two months pregnant. We’re praying Lisa makes it all the way.”

Lisa Marie was two months pregnant when she married musical director Michael Lockwood two years ago- but miscarried, according to a friend.

Lisa has two children. Michael has never been married before and has no children.

“He’s an only child and has always dreamed of becoming a father and making his parents grandparents,” said the friend.

The couple are thrilled and hopeful about the pregnancy, divulged the friend. “Lisa says another child with Michael will make their life complete.”

The article also goes into the fact that Lisa’s ex husband Danny Keough, father of her daughter Riley and son Ben, lives with the couple and helps raise the kids. Danny and Lisa are both Scientologists and raise their kids as Scientologists. It’s likely that Lisa would want this baby to be raised as a Scientologist as well. That whole scenario sounds like a reality show waiting to happen.

If it’s true that she’s pregnant, I wish Lisa luck. I’m 38 and the idea of being pregnant again at this age, after two kids and two stepsons, makes me want to jump off a cliff. But more power to her.

Note by Celebitchy: TMZ, The Daily Mail, and The New York Daily News are among the esteemed online news sources which are calling Lisa Marie Presley fat and making comparisons to her late father’s bloat before his death. The Daily Mail and NY Daily News mention in passing that she is rumored to be pregnant, but they’re super rude to her anyway:

Wearing a grungy yellow hoody and sweatpants, greasy hair pulled back, and no makeup to conceal her splotchy skin as she shoveled food into her bloated face, it’s hard to imagine the former bombshell that looked so much like her mother.

The singer and philanthropist, whose ex-husbands famously include Nicolas Cage and Michael Jackson, is rumored to be pregnant with fourth husband Michael Lockwood’s child, which might explain some of the dramatic weight gain.

The former nanny to Katie Price (aka Jordan) and Peter Andre’s children, Becky Gauld, has a few things to say about the reality show couple. If you watch their dreadful show, you know that in the season finale last year, Becky was fired from her job as caretaker to Katie and Peter’s two sons because she took a holiday against Katie’s wishes. Since then, Becky has taken the pair to court for wrongful termination and won. Now, she’s going to the tabloids and telling them that Jordan isn’t the devoted mom she appears to be on TV.

Becky, 25, stormed: “Their life is very different to the one on TV. The reality is she’s selfish and self-centred - and NOT the perfect mum.

“If viewers had seen what I saw off-camera they’d be astounded. The only thing they do as a family is photoshoots.”

In the revealing interview she tells how Jordan:

ALLOWED overweight thyroid disorder sufferer Harvey to eat TWENTY chicken nuggets at once - even though she’d been told by doctors he could DIE if he didn’t diet.

WAS QUIZZED by SOCIAL SERVICES after the blind autistic youngster scalded himself in a bath of hot water.

TAUGHT Harvey to say “f*** off just so she and Andre could raise a laugh from their friends at a barbecue.

ASTONISHINGLY sent Becky a TEXT from her bed summoning her nanny from her cottage in the grounds of the £2.5 million mansion at 4AM… because the star couldn’t be bothered to get up and cope with Junior crying in a nearby room.

Becky told the paper: “When she was named Celebrity Mum Of The Year by Grattan last year I laughed.

Becky goes on to say that the ‘devoted parents’ routine is just that–a routine. The pair only cuddle and play with the children when the cameras are on, but when there’s no one around to impress, they were all too eager to dump the kids on the nanny. Apparently, Peter likes to hang out in his recording studio, while Jordan is more worried about her beauty treatments than changing diapers. The nanny expressed particular concern for Jordan’s oldest son, Harvey, who is autistic, blind, and suffers from a thyroid disorder.

Jordan has blamed her son’s weight problems on him hating vegetables, saying: “The doctors told me, ‘If he doesn’t go on a diet he could die’. I said, ‘I’m telling you now, he will not eat vegetables. He only wants to eat chicken nuggets or anything with potato’.”

But Becky - whose interview can be seen in full at notw.co.uk - says: “That is total rubbish, he WOULD eat vegetables - you just had to have patience and you had to hide them.

“I used to give him Bernard Matthews mini kievs and hide green beans inside. She’d seen me doing it but she knew it took PATIENCE to get him to eat them.

“Harvey’s weight problems were due to his condition but she also fed him the wrong things. They would sometimes give him up to 20 packets of raisins a day.”

On a holiday to Cyprus the nanny watched in horror as the couple fed him a mountain of fast food.

“In a McDonalds Peter bought him 20 chicken nuggets and chips and brought them back to the car,” she said. “Then he and Katie went shopping while Harvey bolted them down.

“I didn’t want him to eat them but I was not his mum. They went on holiday in America for ten days and he lost nearly a stone when I looked after him. I just gave him healthy food and exercise.”

Is it true– or is it sour grapes? While Jordan has not officially responded to the story, sources say she is very upset and plans to refute these claims. Becky certainly has a motive to paint Jordan as a bad mother. It can’t be easy to be fired from your job on national television– I would probably want some revenge on my employers if that’s how they chose to sack me. It wouldn’t be the first time a disgruntled former employee told tall tales about their boss to get even. However, Becky did win a court case against the pair, which adds a certain air of credibility to the story. And she has since found employment with another family. However, she did go running to The Sun, which means she was probably paid to tell her story.

I think Jordan’s a tacky, no-talent attention-whore, but I’ve always given her credit as a caring mother who seems to cope well with raising a child with so many disabilities. If the nanny is telling the truth, I hope there is some kind of investigation into what’s going on in that house. But with so many cameras pointed at Jordan and her kids on a daily basis, it’s hard to believe that someone other than the nanny wouldn’t have noticed all these things.

It really isn’t possible to write a tasteful story about Marilyn Manson. It isn’t really possible to write anything about Marilyn Manson that most sane individuals wouldn’t find pretty offensive. So here we go, adding to the pile. A logical person – with nothing better to do – would likely spend a good deal of time wondering exactly how Marilyn Manson got to be the way he is. I have one word for you: genetics. Or to get all Freudian: Mother. Although considering Marilyn Manson’s mother raised him, I guess you could also say nurturing was the problem. So basically, nature, nurture, and his mom are the reasons Marilyn Manson is eight kinds of f-ed up. Would you like a specific example? Well it seems that Barb Warner - aka Mrs. Manson – kept young Marilyn’s (he was known by the slightly-less-creepy Brian then) foreskin after he was circumcised. In a jar. I know some parents save baby teeth, some save locks of hair, I get that parents like to save parts of their children’s bodies. But there is a line between a molar and a foreskin. That’s the 5th weirdest sentence I’ve ever written.

Marilyn Manson is hoping to one day make a fortune from a childhood souvenir - his foreskin. The shock rocker’s mother, Barb Warner, has long been rumored to have kept the foreskin from his circumcision in a small jar - and Manson admits it is all true, even joking about the potential value of such an item.

He says, “It’s in more of a contact lens case, kind of like a shriveled up Lifesaver . If she ever came here, she would wave it around. We’re hoping Sotheby’s one day.”

Well I guess we know where he gets his sense of humor/sense of perversity from. Though I did chuckle at the Sotheby’s line. I’ve heard of a serial killer who kept their fingernail clippings in a jar. I’m pretty sure that this is much, much worse. I’d instruct Barb Warner’s local police department to keep a very close eye on her. I’d also fake a warrant and insist on digging up her whole yard – just to be on the safe side. Next time I criticize Marilyn Manson for his collection of Chinese skeletons and shriveled baby heads, I’m going to remind myself that it’s not 100% his fault. Somehow keeping the bones of a complete stranger seems less upsetting than the foreskin of your own son.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood are shown trying to hide beneath a green velvet blanket outside the Led Zeppelin concert on 12/10/07. It also looks like Manson throws water on the photographer. He must be pissed because he’s not wearing makeup. Thanks to PRPhotos.
