Alex Pettyfer, 21, and Riley Keough, 22, are probably disastrously engaged

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.

    Hmmmm….we’ll see, could just be another pr coupling.

  2. carrie says:

    she’s pretty and he looks older than his 21
    according to a journalist friend who met him for NUMBER FOUR(i think i yet said this story here),his trouble is more his professional entourage than his attitude(he’s not a party boy and he’s not arrogant in interview)

  3. normades says:

    I thought it was well known that Diana and Alex were a pure PR invention for I am 4, so she wasn’t really cheating on him. She visibly couldn’t stand him. Well, it didn’t work anyways, that movie bombed.

  4. lucy2 says:

    Too young and haven’t been together long enough. You’d think after watching her mother go through 4 marriages, she’d be a little more cautious.
    All I know about him is his bad reputation. This does not sound good.

  5. UKHels says:

    god, 21? play the field a bit y’all!

  6. backwards says:

    Isn’t he the guy that supposedly has the word ‘thank you’ just above his crotch?

  7. LadyBird83 says:

    Is it just me or does she look a hell of a lot like Rob Zombies wife.

    • Camille (The original) says:

      Oh yes, I see it now too! Both women are gorgeous.

      As for AP and RK, they are too young to get married IMO (especially when it comes to Hollywood), but they sure make for a gorgeous couple.

  8. cupidityrox says:

    They might actually surprise you & last. The problem with him is he has a sense of humour that doesn’t come across in interviews

  9. Rux says:

    Before you guys tear me down, I will admit to watching all three of those movies. Beastly, was because I was babysitting and her parents bought it for her (meehhh), I am Number Four, because I like sci-fi/action movies, and In Time, because it was one of the movies they played on Taca Airlines on our way down to Costa Rica. All of those movies were blah, In Time more so than the others, great idea, poorly executed. So to my point, having seen these movies I can honestly say he is not a bad actor and on the cusp of having real potential if he does not f it up with his douchiness. I hope his handlers rained him in a bit. Comparative to Megan Fox’s acting skills, Alex is Brad Pitt caliber. Only he can screw this up, he has potential.

  10. Maria_Spain says:

    isn´t she Kristen Stewart´s blond twin sister?

  11. almond says:

    She looks like the rich man’s KStew.

    They’re both way too young to be engaged. I agree, this has disaster written all over it.

  12. madpoe says:

    Do these two get spanked for not knowing who they are – yet? 😉
    They seem fairly young.

  13. Mr. Stinky FishFace says:

    The next person to say he should play Finnick Odair in Catching Fire is getting a swift kick to the teeth. I cannot stand this kid and his smug mug.

    • Inid says:

      Yea, I prefer Taylor Kitsch to play Finnick, who is a talented actor and could play that part. Really anyone but Pettyfer!

  14. atorontogal says:

    He must be a Scientologist cuz the Presley’s are. So I can imagine his career is getting a huge boost from the cult. Douche or not that is some majorly scary support

  15. fabgrrl says:

    Meh. Yes, they are very, very young. But engaged is not the same as married. Plenty of young people get “engaged”, because they want to feel like they have an important, adult relationship, and nothing ever comes of it.

  16. kristipistol says:

    Great, now I’m gonna be thinking about good spankings all day!!!

  17. MinervaKate says:

    What the hell is that on his lip? The herp?

  18. Aiobhan says:

    They are not married yet so there is time to save them both from disaster. If Diana and Alex were a PR stunt then this definitely is a PR stunt. Until I here something definitive or see wedding photos where they feeding each other fried bacon and banana sandwiches in honor of her grandfather, this will not last til the end of the year. Maybe not even the summer.

  19. He was a child actor…..Stormbreaker I think. He’s a good actor, Very good and looks quite OLD for his age. This dude looks like he could play 30.

  20. Katelynne says:

    She reminds me of a mix of Amber Heard and Katie Cassidy!

  21. mmhmm says:

    Wasn’t he engaged to Dianna too? He’s so young…why is he so eager to get married so soon??

  22. Alix says:

    How much of a modeling career can she have? She’s pretty short for a model — 5’5″ maybe?

    • Krista says:

      Riley is tall. She’s 5’7″ or 5’8″ Have you seen her standing next to her 5’3″ mom or her 5’4″ grandma Priscilla? Even though the average model is like 6 feet tall, there are some as “short” as 5’7″ which is as low as the industry will allow.

  23. Leikyn says:

    The Lisa Marie apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

  24. Irapnev says:

    She looks like Blake Lively on the last picture. Like a love child of Blake and K-Stew

  25. Onyx XV says:

    He does not look like any kind of a catch to me.

    And boy, those Elvis genes sure are strong! She’s got the eyes, just like her mother.

  26. ViloDeMenus says:

    Looks the Priscilla and Elvis curse of generations is going to take it’s toll on the 3rd generation. Why would anyone 21 or 22 want to marry? It’s doomed from the start at that age, especially in LA when both are actors. I remember some of the things that happened when Diana A said he was out of control, she was so scared of him that she moved out of her home. The fact that she talked about it was odd, no one likes a tattle tale, especially one who could cost producers millions, it could have hurt her more than him but it didn’t and she’s still in demand, and he cooled – leaving me to believe it was all true.

    Now with this couple who seem a bit wild and possibly volatile, this too will end in disaster, and mostly for him.

  27. Deryn says:

    Mustache. Rethink it.

  28. iseepinkelefants says:

    Didn’t he also go crazy on Emma Roberts? I seem to recall she was afraid of him or freaked out by how weird he acted after they broke up?

    Either way this guy has always rubbed me the wrong way. If he’s bad now imagine what would happen if he became a big star? And he’s not even that great looking or that good of an actor. Someone needs to get their ego in check.

  29. The Other Katherine says:

    Are they still trying to make Ol’ Dumbo Ears happen?
