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.”

[From The National Enquirer print edition, March 10 2008]

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.

That Lindsay Lohan sure has gotten her act together. Really, she’s got everything going for her: tons of talent, a great, supportive, non-self-interested family, and a reputation as the hardest working actress in show business. Because really, what’s harder to work at than showing up to the set five hours late, still drunk from the night before? Nothing, that’s what. Lindsay’s had about a billion car accidents and run-ins with the law in the last few years. I actually counted, and anything over 17 = a billion. She’s also had three stints in rehab and spent a little time chilling at the morgue, so to speak. All a part of the legal system’s efforts to put the hard-partying actress on the straight and narrow. LiLo is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Paper Magazine, and showed up to the mag’s luncheon ready to chat about all the wonderful changes she’s made in her life.

“My life was distracted by certain things and that got in the way of work,” Lohan, 21, said Tuesday at the Paper Magazine and Diesel luncheon celebrating this month’s cover story. “But now I’m back on track and figuring out what’s next.”

“Lindsay and I have been talking about doing a shoot together for some time and we hadn’t had the chance,” said [designer Jeremy] Scott, who is also a friend. Though Scott is not the only one to have photographed the actress recently, he says, “Everyone always shoots her in a very generic [way]. So we took her and put her on a set and let her act.” He adds: “She’s an actress for God sakes, and sometimes people forget that.”

So what is next for the starlet? She is getting ready to start shooting the comedy Ye Olde Times with Jack Black and David Arquette. Plus, there’s another album in the works.

“I’m recording right now [with] Motown and being in the studio again has been really great,” she said of her “dance, hip-hop and R&B album,” adding, “It’s all coming together.”

[From People]

Favorite quote of the week: “She’s an actress for God sakes, and sometimes people forget that.” The best part is that was clearly not meant as an insult. Gee, I wonder why people could forget that Lindsay Lohan is an actress? Maybe because she stinks? Because she was nominated for two Razzies in the same category… for her terrible job playing her own twin in “I Know Who Killed Me?” She was good in “Mean Girls” but that only holds you over for so long. What Lindsay Lohan is actually good at is being a train wreck in total denial. And when you’re in total denial and think everything is going your way, why NOT work on an album? Lindsay, here’s an idea. Instead of doing three things poorly, why don’t you just concentrate on doing one thing well? Or even just mediocre would be a big improvement. Thanks.

In other Lohan news, Egotastic is postulating that Lilo might be pregnant. She’s got a little bit of a tummy going on, which I’m going to attribute to drug-induced bloating.

I think it’s just the unfortunate combination of a too-tight shirt and bad camera angles - but I can think of few prospects as horrifying as Lindsay Lohan reproducing, so I felt ethically bound to bring you the information. Check the pictures out and judge for yourself.

Update: Swayze’s doctor says this report is overblown and that he has a “limited amount” of cancer.

He has been getting outpatient treatment at Stanford University, and will receive two more sessions of chemotherapy, but doctors say that it’s not helping and they don’t know what else they can do:

In a shocking world exclusive, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has uncovered the devastating news that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

Full details are in the print edition of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER that goes on sale tomorrow.

For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University’s prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful.

Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi — who both have pilot’s licenses — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto’s airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where the actor has received outpatient treatment.

He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.

“He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure,” said an insider.

[From The National Enquirer's website]

The article states that Patrick has lost 20 pounds and is on a liquid diet because he can’t keep food down. This is so sad and I hope he pulls through. He’s just 55 and that’s way too young to die.

Yesterday Best Week Ever had us all in stitches with a cute post showing Patrick Swayze’s many expressions in Ghost, and today comes the shocking news that he’s battling terminal cancer. Please hang in there Patrick and get well.

In early February there was a story that Patrick Swayze was hospitalized for a serious “gastro-intestinal procedure” at Stanford Medical center, but his spokesperson simply said he was doing well and no further information was given.

Update: Swayze’s doctor says his prognosis is not this dire and that he has a “limited amount” of cancer. Please see the article “Patrick Swayze’s cancer not as serious as thought” for the latest.

In terms of parental faux pas, there are few as big as admitting you wanted your kid to be something other than exactly what they are. Salma Hayek made a pretty big one recently when she admitted to Glamour that she hoped her six-month-old daughter Valentina would be a boy. A word of advice, Salma. Telling a magazine is not the same thing as telling a friend. Little Valentina will be using this against you in every fight the two of you have for the rest of your life – and deservedly so.

“I have something to confess, I wanted a boy.”

Why?

“Probably because I was afraid,” she says. “I think women suffer more a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mother and daughters. But now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl,” Hayek goes on to say. “And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does.”

[From US]

Even if somehow little Valentina never hears this story from a friend on the playground, I’m pretty sure she’ll come across it at some point. That’ll do wonders for her self-esteem, and the mother-daughter relationship. Salma tried to recover a bit, and made some good excuses. But if that kid hears that story anytime before the age of ten, there’s no way Salma’s reasoning will help Valentina out. Salma is engaged to Valentina’s father, French businessman François Henri Pinault, but doesn’t seem to be 100% certain that the two will get married – and doesn’t need the big wedding.

“Do I think we are going to get married? Probably. Will it make a difference? I hope not. I don’t have a need for marriage.

“You want to grow old with someone, you want to have a partner and to have children — we have all those things,” she says.

“Some people need the commitment. Maybe we’ll just make the party!”

[From US]

At first I really liked it when celebs were saying they didn’t care if they got married – it made it sound like they had other stuff going on in their lives and their commitment to a partner was deeper than a ceremony. But so many people are saying it that it’s starting just to feel like the trendy attitude to have. Not to push Salma into it or everything, because I know I have a lot of sway with her. I’d also suggest she burn every copy of Glamour, just to be safe.

David and Victoria Beckham’s son Brooklyn turned nine yesterday, and celebrated in grand style. His dad was away with his soccer team the L.A. Galaxy, but Posh Spice managed to do a pretty good job wrangling 25 kids and their parents. The whole event sounded fun but not ridiculously over the top, a la Dannielynn Birkhead’s rediculously lavish first birthday that even featured a giant hot air balloon shaped like a birthday cake. Brooklyn’s birthday took place at the Century City mall and started with dinner at Pink Taco. Though there were certainly some celebrities in attendance, the whole thing sounds pretty normal – at least for something put together by Posh.

David and Victoria Beckham’s oldest son celebrated his big day Tuesday at Century City Mall’s Pink Taco restaurant with his mom, brothers and 25 friends – not to mention Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria Parker. And apparently little brother Cruz, 3 (who attended the party in a Batman costume), isn’t the only Beckham with an interest in break dancing. After catching a movie at the mall, Brooklyn and his pals were entertained by a team of dancers busting hip-hop moves.

As his crew – including brothers Cruz and Romeo, 5 – gathered around, Brooklyn blew out the candles on a Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream cake (decorated to match the break-dancing theme), while his mom snapped photos on her digital camera.

[From People]

What, no 25 foot tall inflatable break dancer? Are celebs even ALLOWED to do that? With the exception of the team of dancers, everything else sounds like a pretty normal birthday party. I would think in Posh-land, it was downright sedate. People notes that Heidi Klum’s 3-year-old daughter Leni pooped out first around 8 p.m. and the entire event wrapped up by 8:30. Though dad David Beckham couldn’t be there for the big event, Us Weekly noted that some fans rolled out a “Happy Birthday Brooklyn” banner at the Galaxy’s game in Shanghi. Not a bad way to turn nine.

Note by Celebitchy: Little Cruz Beckham, three, wore a Batman costume to the festivities.

Hillary Clinton is back in the game, but just barely. Prior to the yesterday’s primaries Clinton was trailing Obama based on her performance in earlier primaries. Clinton won yesterday’s primaries in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island. Obama won in Vermont. The race between the two is still very close and hard to call, with the front runner seeming to change every week. While they’re both still insisting that they are the very best candidate and can beat Republic John McCain, Clinton is hinting that there may be a possibility of a Clinton-Obama ticket – with her as the presidential candidate.

Asked on CBS’s “The Early Show” whether she and Obama should be on the same ticket, Clinton said:

“That may be where this is headed, but of course we have to decide who is on the top of ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me.”

Obama, who had hoped to knock Clinton out of the race on Tuesday, said he would prevail despite facing a tenacious candidate who “just keeps on ticking.” Clinton acknowledged the race was close and said it would come down to her credentials on national security and the economy.

[From Yahoo! News]

Obama still came away with a lot of delegate votes, and said that his lead was still “insurmountable.” Clinton and Obama are so close that neither has enough delegates to secure the nomination. Whoever gets it will have to get the support of the almost 800 party and elected officials, or so-called “superdelegates .”

“New questions are being raised, new challenges are being put to my opponent,” she said. “Superdelegates are supposed to take all that information on board and they are supposed to be exercising the judgment that people would have exercised if this information and challenges had been available several months ago.”

She said voters are being drawn to her argument that she would be the better commander in chief, the best steward of the economy and that she can better confront McCain in the general election.

[From Yahoo! News]

Obama attacked Clinton for voting for the war in Iraq along with her foreign policy skills. Yesterday Clinton picked up a minimum of 115 delegates and Obama picked up at least 88. Results are still pending for the remaining 170 votes. That leaves Obama with a total of 1,477 delegates, including superdelegates. Clinton now has 1,391 delegates. To get the democratic nomination, the winner will have to secure 2,025 votes. At this point, it’s still way too close to call.

Actor Jerry O’Connell, who starred in “Jerry Maguire” “Crossing Jordan” and “Stand by Me” and is married to model/actress Rebecca Romijn will compete in an extreme adventure competition in the Scottish Highlands next month. The 2008 Drambuie Pursuit is an outdoor adventure race where teams retrace the voyage of Bonnie Prince Charlie, who created the recipe for Drambuie. Prince Charlie tried to take over the British throne, which didn’t work out so well. He then fled to Scotland, leaving behind his secret recipe. No word on how much alcohol this competition will feature, but you’d think any race sponsored by a liqueur company would lead to a good time.

The Drambuie Pursuit, which takes place in April 2008, will see teams of modern-day rebels competing in an epic race through one of Europe’s last great wildernesses. Teams will demonstrate their spirit of adventure by kayaking through rushing rapids, rappelling steep mountain faces and performing numerous other feats of endurance as they traverse the inhospitable terrain of the Highlands. Alongside the competing teams, Jerry O’Connell will experience his own bold journey as he follows the Prince’s storied route from Inverness to the Isle of Skye.

With a successful film and television career under his belt, Jerry O’Connell is now prepared to take on the newest challenge in his life: a 100-mile race across Scotland to relive the passion, spirit and legacy of rebel Prince Charlie. Jerry and his three teammates will compete in the first ever Drambuie Pursuit to permit American entrants, they — along with nine other teams — will experience an all-terrain adventure race the likes of which they will never forget.

“I am thrilled to take part in the Drambuie Pursuit,” said Jerry O’Connell. “I can’t wait to race across the Scottish Highlands and take part in this exciting and unique journey — and I’m confident that my team will win!”

[From Yahoo! News]

That’s pretty cool. It’s an all too rare occasion that celebrities compete in extreme adventure competitions. I have a few celebs I would like to personally nominate for something involving the aforementioned “rappelling steep mountain faces.” If Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan would like to join, that would make me incredibly happy. Seriously though, it’s very cool that Jerry O’Connell is doing this. He’s one of those actors that always seems up for a good time and has no problem laughing at just about everything and everyone – himself included. I’m assuming this is the kind of thing you have to train for – but how exactly does one prepare for “feats of endurance?” I’m guessing he’s breaking a lot of boards in his backyard or something. It sounds like there could be a bit of danger involved – Jerry, you’re really pretty. Protect the face. Thanks.

Trashtastic British reality star and entrepreneur Katie Price launched her line of women’s lingerie at George at ASDA today. She used regular women to model the clothing, and chose them from among her fan club, asking women to write in for a chance:

She said: “I decided that I wanted girls from my fan club to model [the range] with me in front of the press so I got them to write in and then I chose six girls.”

While the 29-year-old’s cleavage appeared more than generous in her black lace trimmed bra, she recently underwent a breast reduction during a visit to LA in December.

Still, Katie, who has three children, Harvey, 5, Junior, two, and Princess Tiaamii, nine months, plans to go back for yet another cosmetic procedure on her breasts to have them made even smaller.

[From The Daily Mail]

Everyone is saying that she chose these women to make herself look better, and that could be partially the case. She also managed to get a lot more publicity by using normal-sized and plus-sized models along with showing that her bras and panties are made for all sizes. At least one commentor on Oh No They Didn’t noted that it’s hard to find bras if you’re large-breasted. I don’t have that particular problem, but it could be an issue she’s trying to address by showing women who are stacked wearing her new bras.

It is refreshing to see regular-sized women promoting lingerie, even if it does seem slightly exploitive in the case of the very heavy model. Katie Price is all about exploiting herself for profit, and in her case she might call it empowering. If that word is even in her vocabulary.

Though Matthew McConaughey is best known for shunning most forms of clothing – or at least that’s what he’s most photographed in – the soon-to-be dad is starting his own clothing line, j.k. livin, based on his famous life motto. It’ll be mostly beachwear and other laid-back clothing styles, which generally fit with Matthew’s persona. Don’t expect him to go all P. Diddy couture or anything.

Us Weekly has learned exclusively that the sand-and-surf-loving star, 38, is developing his own line of swim apparel named j.k. livin, after his production company — and personal mantra — “Just keep livin’.”

Available via his Web site, matthewmcconaughey.com, this summer, the must-haves will run the gamut from T-shirts to swimsuits to Frisbees.

“It will be a one-stop shop for every-thing you need for the beach,” a rep for the actor, who’s expecting another special delivery this summer (a baby with Brazilian model love Camila Alves, 25), tells Us.

(“There’s a perception of me as a beach guy,” the actor — in a j.k. livin shirt — has said.)

Not bad for a man who recently dished to dished to Playboy: “My mom didn’t even put a bathing suit on us at the country club until we were 9.”

[From Us Weekly]

I would hazard a guess that Matthew McConaughey spends approximately 9.3x more time naked than the average American. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just funny that someone best known for exposing his chest and six pack is selling things that will cover them up. Hopefully Matthew won’t start wearing too much clothing now, as that’d be a real shame. Matthew was recently voted as having the celebrity with the best chest, according to OK! magazine. Now if only he could somehow sell his chest online.

These pics are old, but they’re a really great example of McConaughey’s laid-back, beachy lifestyle. I swear that’s the only reason they’re here.
