TinselTown Trash

I’m not sure what to think about this story. If I was caught in such an unflattering photo I wouldn’t like it and I would probably be upset, but as a celebrity eating out I don’t think I would use that photo as an opportunity to be “offended”. If there’s anything that’s offensive it’s the clothes she’s wearing. Talk about the frumpy look.

Singer Lisa Marie Presley is suing the Daily Mail for libel over publishing an article alleging she is overweight.

The 40-year-old daughter of Elvis Presley said the story, which was widely republished worldwide, forced her to confirm she is expecting a baby.

Her UK laywer Simon Smith said claims that she had an “unhealthy appetite” and is “growing like her dad” had left the star “deeply upset and offended”.

Presley called the press “disgusting” on her MySpace page.

I know that pregnancy does a lot to a woman’s body, in fact I know that pregnancy can change a woman’s body forever, but I am not so sure you can go from this:

to this:

simply because of pregnancy. Of course, if I was mortified about the whole ordeal, like she says she was, I guess I, as a celebrity, might not want to be venturing to places where these types of candid photo opportunities are plentiful. But then again, that’s just me.

She’s mad because the Daily Mail article states she has an “unhealthy appetite” and she is “growing like her dad”. Umm.. okay. It’s evident that she is eating more, and it’s also evident that she bears a strong resemblance to her late father. Where is the libel in their statement?

The very definition of libel makes her case null and void. So why even file a suit over this? She’d be better off just taking out some term insurance and hoping for the best. Shut up. You know what I mean. Don’t you?
