Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood are Pregnant

Yesterday, FOXNews reported that the rumor mill had started. Lisa Marie Presley was reportedly pregnant. Today, FOXNews verified the story. Lisa Marie Presley has two children from a prior marriage to Danny Keough, but this will be her first with current husband Michael Lockwood.

In recent years, celebrity pregnancies make big news, and the paparazzi always play a big role. Angelina Jolie and boyfriend Brad Pitt made headlines as the sequestered themselves in Namibia last May in anticipation of their daughter Shiloh's birth. FOXNews recently reported that a new law may go into effect to protect children like Brittany Spears' oft-photographed little ones and to avoid the turbulence Halle Berry felt as she crashed last year in an attempt to avoid paparazzi. Other famous recent run-ins with paparazzi include speculation on Nicole Kidman's drinking habits while pregnant, which writer Sandra Lee fights bitterly against on news.com.au .

With a more stable home life, hopefully the pregnancy of Lisa Marie Presley will avoid some of the onslaught felt by Brittany Spears. With a photo on almost every front page almost every day, Spears' pregnancy was much debated.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being different from your siblings. The new baby will be 15 years younger than the next oldest child of Lisa Marie Presley. Angelina Jolie reports to MSNBC that she has to be cautious that little Shiloh isn't lost in the fray, concerning herself with the fact that Shiloh's blond hair and instant privilege entitled by her birth into one of American's most famous couples. Lisa Marie Presley's new baby won't have that "disadvantage"...no doubt the little one will be overly coddled, if anything, with two teenaged siblings.

Lisa Marie Presley's little one will be even younger than older siblings than Nicole Kidman's baby will be from its older siblings (Nicole Kidman adopted two children, born in 1993 and 1995, according to imdb.com). Much older siblings can provide support and aid in raising a younger child, but may also feel some degree of resentment, which could be particularly true if the younger child is as famous as Nicole Kidman's and Lisa Marie Presley's will be.

The paparazzi provide an interesting look into celebrity life that otherwise would not be available, regardless of how anyone may feel about their lack of ethics or their determination to get pictures, no matter what the cost. Lisa Marie Presley can undoubtedly look forward to several months worth of being chased and photographed. Dubious advantages, for sure, but the price of that first baby photo might just make it all worth it.
