LONDON - Lisa Marie Presley has sued a British newspaper for alleging that she was piling on the pounds because of her unhealthy appetite, her lawyer said Monday.
Presley, who is pregnant, alleges in a suit filed at London’s High Court on Friday that the story in Britain’s Daily Mail was slanderous and degrading. The newspaper has since reported on the 40-year-old singer’s pregnancy.
“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,” she said on her blog.
Who can blame the newspaper for being concerned about her weight did Lisa never see pictures of her father when he was Fat Elvis?

If you’re going to sue somebody for being “slanderous and degrading,” then you’ve got a long battle ahead of you because what, all of humanity is going to be gossip-spreading at one point.
Just saying.
Not to mention, Lisa’s lawyer, that slander is spoken. In print, like the newspaper, it’s called libel.
Idiot.
