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.
