Lisa Marie -- I'm Preggers, Not Fat!

Just the other day, TMZ spotted Scientolostar Lisa Marie Presley, 40, out looking awfully big. And now she's confirmed exactly why.


On her MySpace blog, Presley announced that she's pregnant (this will be her third child, first with her fourth husband, musician Michael Lockwood) but she saves her real verbal fireworks to totally unload on the tabloid media, whom she calls "irresponsible," "disgusting," and "black souls." And that's just for starters:

After being the target all week of slanderous and degrading stories, horribly manipulated pictures and articles in the media, I have had to show my cards and announce under the gun and under vicious personal attack that I am in fact pregnant.

Once they got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight. Starting with a London publication and then New York and Chicago all writing false defamatory degrading stories about all of the dark possible reasons I could be putting on weight. The US tabloids have been calling all day wanting confirmation on all kinds of insane theories.

They couldn't wait to find out if my weight gain was because I was just overeating, in which case It would be open season and they can do the old following in her fathers sad and unfortunate demise story again or less interesting for them and probably much to their dismay, I could just be pregnant and therefore have a legitimate reason for weight gain at which point they should probably wipe the saliva off of their fangs and put them back in their mouths or they may expose the black little souls that they are.

Now that things are confirmed, hopefully they can stop all of the harassment and I can stop dodging the continuous bullets. It is unfortunate that I couldn't have announced something that is this much of a blessing and that has made us so incredibly happy under better circumstances.

How they have handled themselves with this has been nothing short of irresponsible and disgusting.

Pardon my seething contemptuous tone but ladies, You KNOW if you were pregnant and you felt you were expanding uncontrollably by the moment as a result and the worldwide media started badgering and harassing you for it, plastering you everywhere in an unflattering light, you would be mortified as well.

16. I thought the BF was a woman when I looked at the still picture. How ugly!

17. Candace, No one cares and you need to STOP YELLING! You're incredibly annoying.

18. I too have noticed how much you have been targeting pregnant chicks lately--Jamie Lynn, Sabrina the teenage with, and mini-Presley. Lay off! Enough people do stupid things that deserve to be mocked. Stop harassing women whose only mistake is that they are gestating the future. I suppose now that it's out of fashion to encourage young girls to be anorexic, you are going to start encouraging pregnant women to fit into the media's unrealistic expectations of what a woman should look like. I'm all for reading TMZ and getting a cheap laugh at other peoples' stupidity, but there's nothing really all that stupid about a pregnant woman putting on a few extra pounds. You're just being mean, and that makes me feel dirty for reading your Web site.

20. Finally! I'm so glad she has confirmed it to the public - now leave her alone!!!! It is her business and nobody elses. She has always said she would like to have more children. I hope they have a happy, healthy baby.

Congrats Lisa and Michael! Wish her Dad was here to see his grandkids....

22. What can I say, She's right. Do you ALWAYS have to be so mean??

24. Oh, Lisa. I feel a little let down. You have always been in the "screw-the-media-they-are-idiots" sisterhood. I guess intense media stalking would get to any of us... after a while, at least. Hopefully you will get some privacy to enjoy your pregnancy, a turn of events which would be healthy for any expectant mom. Best wishes to your expanding family.

26. Note: Lisa Marie never did have good taste in men, for God sake she married Michael Jackson!

27. You know, congrats to her. Seems she's got the hutzpah to fend off the sharks better than her Dad. People can get crushed by all pirranahs. I sure wish those who are so judgmental can open up their life and we can judge them and who they are in love with. Those who don't have it, attack those who do. It's the only way they can feel better.

Cheers to the new addition.

29.
To those who keep referring to her "boyfriend," he is her HUSBAND, they got married in 2006.

Congrats to the entire family
