Lisa Marie Presley Fires Employees for Not Signing Privacy Contracts
(aceshowbiz.com, August 23 2010)The daughter of Elvis Presley asks her employees to sign a six-page document banning them from discussing her private life and dismisses two of them for refusing to do so.
Lisa Marie Presley is demanding staff at her new English estate sign strict privacy contracts - and has already fired two employees for refusing to do so, according to a U.K. report. Elvis Presley's daughter drew up the confidentiality agreement to prevent 'leaks' about her private life after she hit the headlines in Britain following her move into the town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Tuesday, August 17.
The six-page document bans staff and their relatives from discussing details of the building, furnishings, and decor, including photos or mementos related to Presley's relatives. And Presley is determined to retain her privacy - she immediately dismissed two cleaners who asked to first take legal advice.
A source tells Britain's The Sun, "It was like they were being asked to sign the Official Secrets Act. It was way over the top and they felt it was a total infringement of their human rights. "Staff could not speak to their husbands, wives or even their grandchildren about what they did."
Presley reportedly picked the British town because of its vicinity to East Grinstead, Sussex - where Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard settled in 1959 after moving from the U.S. The star is a devout follower of the religion.
Lisa Marie Presley 'fires cleaners'
By Naomi Rainey
(digitalspy.co.uk, August 22 2010)Lisa Marie Presley has reportedly fired two cleaners at her English estate, after they refused to sign confidentiality agreements.
The Sun reports that the six-page document, obtained by the newspaper, banned staff and their families from discussing any information relating to Michael Jackson's ex-wife and her property, including the decor and existence of pictures or momentos of Presley's family.
The cleaners were asked to sign the agreement following the newspaper's earlier reports that the 42-year-old and her husband Michael Lockwood were moving to the �8 million 11-bedroom mansion near Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
A friend of one of the fired cleaners said: "It was like they were being asked to sign the Official Secrets Act. It was way over the top and they felt it was a total infringement of their human rights.
"Staff could not speak to their husbands, wives or even their grandchildren about what they did. Anyone would think they had gone to work for MI6, not a pop star's ex-wife."

Suspicious mind, Lisa?
By ALEX WEST
(The Sun, August 21 2010)ELVIS Presley's girl sacks two cleaners at English house for not signing privacy contract, The Sun can reveal.
They were ordered to leave within 48 hours of MICHAEL JACKSON's ex-wife moving into the �8million 11-bedroom pile.
And the women were warned they would be hauled before an American judge and forced to pay $10,000 (�6,500) compensation if they even told their husbands where they worked.
The Sun has seen the six-page "Confidentiality Agreement" which bans staff and their relatives from revealing any details of the building, decor or furnishings including any pictures or mementos of Lisa Marie's family - living or DEAD.
A friend of one cleaner said: "It was like they were being asked to sign the Official Secrets Act. It was way over the top and they felt it was a total infringement of their human rights. Staff could not speak to their husbands, wives or even their grandchildren about what they did. Anyone would think they had gone to work for MI6, not a pop star's ex-wife."
The Sun revealed this week how Lisa Marie, 42, and hubby MICHAEL LOCKWOOD, 42, moved into the house near Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Tuesday.
After our report, stunned staff were told there had been "a suspected leak". Then two days later they were handed the contracts and ordered to sign on the spot. When the frightened �8-an-hour cleaners refused and asked to take legal advice first, they were told not to come back.
The daughter of Suspicious Minds legend Elvis said she moved to Britain because she loved the culture and weather. But she is also a follower of the Scientology cult, whose HQ is near her new home. The cleaner's pal said: "Lisa Marie is a miserable cow."
Lisa Marie Presley Buys $10m Home in England!

Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lisa Marie Presley: Celebs by default
(Entertainment and Showbiz!,February 23 2010)Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lisa Marie Presley never had to do anything to get the star status that they have, they were famous because as once Nicole Richie said in an interview with Oprah that she was famous because she was famous. These star kids have become centre of attraction from their childhood and they never wanted anything different either. They may whine for being followed by the paparazzi wherever they go but their antics prove to be anything but being in the spotlight. Be it Nicole Richie, the adopted daughter of the soul singer Lionel Richie or Lisa Marie Presely, the daughter of the Elvis Presely, or Paris Hilton who shares the direct lineage with the Hilton Hotels owners.
All these have tried their hands at many things, be it acting, modelling, singing, song writing but all their stints remain short lived and being boo-hoed most of the time. They are famous more for one thing, for having a very hard and happening party life and social life. A very nice way of spending their parents' cash!
Just the moment they seem to disappear from the tabloid radars they definitely do something to gain their spotlight back, whether going to the rehab for being a drug junkie (Nicole Richie) or getting intimate body parts pierced and posing with it, topeless.
On the other hand Lisa Marie Presley got almost everything handed down to her in a golden platter, even the name Princess of Rock 'n' Roll. She has had a troubled life too, with her mother's partner having lust for her to having married to Michael Jackson for only 18 months and later on with Nicolas Cage for two years. Even while having complications in her relationship with Jackson she did not shy away from posing nude in the music video You are not alone.
Paris Hilton is one of the unstoppable socialite celeb. She will never cease to be in the tabloid news. Be it for her sex videos, raunchy tapes, clothing sense or her ever changing boy friends and eventually getting engaged to them before breaking off. She might have served a prison term but she refuses to slow down her fast paced bawdy life-style or her image. So like the other two who have sobered down with time will Miss Hilton be mellowing down in future and take her celebrity status seriously and use it for a good cause?
Jacko was hot in bed: Lisa Marie
(Times of India, July 1 2009)While the case against him for the alleged sexual abuse of 12-year-old Jordie Chandler brought out his bizarre lifestyle and love for proximity to children out into the open, no one really believed him when he insisted he had romanced girls like Tatum O'Neal or Brooke Shields.
In fact, according to extracts from a book published in a UK tabloid, Tatum told a friend: 'How can any girl have a relationship with him? When we're together, he's so shy he hardly says two words. 'I know he's a virgin. I wonder if he's afraid to have sex. He doesn't seem very interested.'
And when Michael Jackson was growing up, his mother too worried that he rarely went out with girls. As people settled into seeing the star as an eccentric, but essentially asexual, came his marriage to Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in 1994.
Writes Randy Taraborrelli in Michael Jackson: The Magic And The Madness, Jackson's friend and confidant of 40 years, "From my conversations with both Michael and Lisa, I am convinced this marriage was not a sham. And, according to Lisa herself, Jackson was a wonderful lover. He was, she said, 'very hot' in bed."
Michael and Lisa hit it off on their very first date, at a dinner party of a mutual friend. They believed they were soulmates. Michael flirted openly, and as they talked, Lisa felt she was seeing the real Michael, the man behind the mask.
Throughout the time of his obsession with Jordie Chandler, Jackson dated Lisa intermittently and after the case began, he took her support in "long, anguished phone calls", writes Taraborrelli.
Lisa is quoted as saying, "Yes, I started falling for him. I wanted to help him, and I felt that I could." She stood by him as he spiralled into drug addiction. During one phone call, he asked how she would respond if he proposed marriage. Her reply was instant: "I would do it." ...
Lisa Marie Presley Says Michael Jackson Thought He Would Die Like Elvis
Written by: Kelcey Bridges
(thecelebritycafe.com, June 29 2009)The pop star's ex-wife says he always knew how his life would end.
Lisa Marie Presley, Michael Jackson's first wife, took to her MySpace blog to release a public statement regarding her feelings about Jackson's tragic death. "As I sit�here�overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching�on the news almost play by play The�exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (a sight I never wanted to see again)�just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted," Presley said in her MySpace blog.During a conversation she had with Jackson, the subject shifted to the tragic death of Presley's father, Elvis Presley. Presley claims Jackson told her, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did." "I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that. 14 years later I am�sitting here watching on the news�an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears," Presley said in her blog.
Presley and Jackson wed in May 1994 and divorced in 1996.

Lisa Marie Presley's 'freaky' twins
(NZCity, Bang Showbiz, January 23 2009)Lisa Marie Presley says having twins is "freaky". The singer - who gave birth to daughters Finley and Harper three months ago - says she and husband Michael Lockwood have struggled to adjust to the new additions to their family. She revealed: "When we brought the babies home it was a complete and utter shock. "Everything is so freaky. Are they breathing? Are they OK? They're so fragile. That freaks me out. Michael was freaked out about dropping them."
Lisa Marie - who also has two teenage children, Riley, 19, and Ben, 16, from a previous marriage to Danny Keough - says the twins are already displaying different personalities, labelling Finley "full of p**s and vinegar". She added to Hello! magazine: "Finley is a little clone of me and Harper is a little clone of Michael, looks and personality wise. Little Harper, for 'harp' is this little sweet, calm, dainty baby. And Finley, which is Scottish for 'fair warrior', is also an angel but a bit more rugged. She is ferocious, funny and full of p**s and vinegar, as they say."
PRESLEY FEARED POST-PARTUM DEPRESSION
(Contact Music, January 20 2009)LISA MARIE PRESLEY expected to experience post-partum depression following the birth of her new baby twins - and was delighted when the condition never materialised.
The 40-year-old star and her husband Michael Lockwood welcomed daughters Harper and Finley in October (08). The girls are Presley's third and fourth children, and her first two with Lockwood. Presley is also mother to Danielle Riley, 19, and Benjamin Storm, 15, from her first marriage to Danny Keough.
And Presley admits that prior to the birth, she was convinced she would suffer from some form of depression when the girls arrived - because looking after twins is such hard work.
She tells Hello magazine, "I was expecting to go into some severe post-partum land. I was waiting for it to hit me. I had a couple of episodes of crying but they weren't unfounded. I'm glad it didn't actually get me. Everything is so freaky. 'Are they breathing? Are they OK?' They're so fragile. That freaks me out."
