Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the legend Elvis Presley, is said to be suing the Daily Mail after they released a story saying she was “piling on the pounds”, forcing her to announce her pregnancy.  The American singer was said to be furious with the claims made by the paper and is taking the case to the High Court.

Her lawyer, Simon Smith said “My client is deeply upset and offended by this article, especially as it was widely published just as she and her family were meant to be celebrating her happy news.”

On Lisa Marie’s MySpace page she said I was forced 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 pray whilst eerily howling with delight.”

Apparently, she also blasted other tabloids who picked up on the story, and accused them of “writing false defamatory degrading stories about all of the dark possible reasons I could be putting on weight.”
