The Swiftest Response To A Celebrity Lawsuit We’ve Ever Seen

You may have read that Lisa Marie Presley is suing The Daily Mail for calling her “fat” (having “gained weight just like her father Elvis”, evidently) when she is, in fact, pregnant.

Fair enough, we thought, pregnancy is one aspect of the celebrity-obsessed realm that we really wish would disappear from our world, what with “baby bumps” and “post-baby weight” and so on.

However, we were somewhat amused to see how quickly the Mail have changed their tune, and wonder whether this article was a part of the settlement:

Lisa Marie Presley looked pregnant and proud as she unveiled her budding baby bump in Los Angeles.

The daughter of rock icon Elvis stepped out with third husband, musician and producer Michael Lockwood in Beverly Hills, following confirmation that she is pregnant with her third child.

Dressed in a fashionable print maxi dress, chunky platform sandals, and large hoop earrings Lisa Marie looked radiant and every inch the happy mother-to-be.

Radiant! Fashionable! Proud! That’s a conspicuous change from “packing on the pounds”.

We’d be pleased if it wasn’t so obviously a tail-between-legs show of Doing The Right Thing™. Although, we’re not sure about crossing those British tabloids, Lisa Marie – just ask Kerry Katona. It could be much, much worse.
