She's a yummy mummy....!

Seriously, the paparazzi (or the stalkerazzi as they should aptly be called) need to back off my girl Lisa Marie.

First off -- she's not her father. Though she's been gifted with stunning looks that are haunting with familiarity, the comparison should quite honestly - end there.

She's pregnant at 40, which is a miracle all within itself given the difficulties many women have with conception. This does not mean that she's going to eat herself into oblivion. And I think the media tends to lose sight that while her tragic father did have a love for food, he also had a love for drugs and alcohol which also contributed to his less than flattering shape towards the end of his otherwise seemingly charmed life.

Lisa Marie Presley, while opting for a little bit more of an open life than she had prior to the scandalous marriage she engaged in to Michael Jackson -- has managed to lead a relatively normal life despite the celebrity and insanity that she grew up with and has always been surrounded by. She slowly lets the media in -- and what do they do? What they always do...try to tear her apart. This is what they do to everyone. Sweetheart one day....overweight and overindulgent the next.

I applaud Lisa Marie for posing for this photo. It's tasteful, and beautiful - and I don't blame her for standing up for herself. No one who lives under the microscope of scrutiny should have to succumb to mean and nasty things that are said about them just because those of us who don't have that life feel that it's "par for the course".

Because you know what -- it's not.
