It is an unequivocal truth that Lisa Marie Presley has one of the best bitchfaces in the business, and I’d really hate to have it directed towards myself in any shape or form. At present, this week’s Enquirer would have us believe that it it decidedly aiming itself straight towards Alex Pettyfer, who (as Kaiser reported last week) is probably disastrously engaged to Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough. I’m sure there are a variety of reasons why Lisa Marie doesn’t want Riley to get married. For starters, she’s super young at age 22 to walk down the aisle, and since Lisa Marie herself is allegedly struggling to keep her own fourth marriage together, it’s safe to say that she doesn’t want her daughter starting down the same path that she followed.
Certainly, Lisa Marie’s concern might have a little bit to do with Alex as well. I mean, the guy has a “Thank You” tattoo above his crotch. He’s also an alleged psycho stalker and pyromaniac and a confirmed douchebag as well. In other words, Alex isn’t exactly ideal son-in-law material. Furthermore and according to the Enquirer, Lisa Marie is very concerned that he could be after the Presley fortune:
It’s an all-out battle between Lisa Marie Presley and her wild-child daughter Riley over the 22-year-old actress’ surprise engagement to British actor Alex Pettyfer.
Four-times-wed Lisa Marie — who’s desperately trying to stop her daughter from following hin her disastrous marital footsteps — is vowing to block the wedding, convinced that Pettyfer, known to have a bad temper and a vulgar mouth, is just after the Presley fortune, say sources.
“Lisa Marie doesn’t believe this marriage has a chance in hell of lasting,” declared a close source. “Riley has terrible taste in men. She’s dated womanizing pop star Ryan Cabrera and a number of irresponsible, pretty-boy male model-types. LIsa Marie thinks her daughter is far too young and impressionable to understand what she’s getting into.
She’s worried that Alex just wants to sink his hands into the Presley family fortune,” estimated at more than $300 million.
To complicate matters more, Alex, 21, and Riley are both tied up with their careers. She has four movies coming out in 2012 alone.
Despite the furious protests of her 44-year-old mom — whose bizarre marriage to Michael Jackson lasted less than two years — lovestruck Riley is standing her ground.
“The engagement news is ripping the Presley family apart,” divulged an insider. “Riley is ready to go forward — with or without her mom’s blessing. Worse yet, RIley has been telling friends she wants Alex’s baby, and she’s been hinting she’s already pregnant. That would be Lisa Marie’s worst nightmare.”
After just six months of dating, Elvis’ granddaughter got engaged to Alex, who co-starred with her in the movie Magic Mike. Pettyfer plays a male stripper, Riley his exotic dancer lover.
Following the revelation they’ll soon walk down the aisle, a thrilled Alex tweeted: “I’m very happy in my personal life.”
On March 12, a radiant Riley was spotted in Los Angeles sporting a gleaming diamond engagement rng when she and Alex went on a lunch date.

Naturally, the story goes on to mention Alex’s somewhat dark (but mostly douchey) past that I touched upon at the top of this story. Lisa Marie probably won’t be able to stop this marriage from happening no matter how hard she tries, but at the very least, she can make sure all the legal steps are taken to keep Alex’s paws off Elvis’ money. Both Riley and Alex are young, and it does not bode well that they met on the set of a stripper movie. Hopefully, Riley’s not pregnant too.
Also, Alex’s hair is a crime against humanity. That’s reason enough to dislike the boy from a potential mother-in-law perspective, right?
