Lisa Marie Presley Reveals Her Twins' Names

Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood, the parents of healthy newborn twins, have jumped on the unusual baby names bandwagon. But in this case, I find their choices prettily creative (as opposed to say, Flutenoy and Bakusy, or LeDryer and LeWasher).

Presley and Lockwood have revealed that their twin girls will go by Finley and Harper. They will keep the King’s last name.

Elvis himself had a twin named Jesse, who died at birth.

Proving once again that P.T. Barnum was right, fans lined up to get the latest Elvis doo-hickey: Barbie dolls fashioned after The King and his bride, Priscilla Beaulieu.

According to the AP, 150 people waited to get their hands on a boxed set of the…"toys" doesn’t sound right, so let's say "collectibles." Brenda Moore, an Arkansas resident who works at Wal-Mart's corporate headquarters, bid – make sure you're sitting down – $6800 for a pair of Barbie's signed by Priscilla herself. Moore and her husband "believe the money is for a good cause." That cause is Presley Place, the charitable arm of the Elvis empire. Plus, they get these cool…collectibles.

Elvis died on August 16, 1977; this unveiling was part of a weeklong series of events at Graceland to commemorate the day he died while simultaneously separating Elvis fans from their money.

Here are some photos from the blessed event:

If you've been to our celebrity-following sister blog Famecrawler, you know Lisa Marie Presley is pregnant. And pissed. And suing. You know, because of the whole problem so many of us face: Just as you are trying to decide who to share the happy news of your expecting-ness with, the tabloids start printing a rash of stories about how you let yourself go because you've gotten a bit heavier. And then there's some ugly comparisons to your dad, and speculation you will die the same way he did. You know, typical stuff.

Lisa Marie wrote a whole thing on her MySpace page about how hurt and angry she is by this, and she's taking the tabloids to task for the unkindness. But one of the more interesting things about it all is (as the Five Resolutions blog points out) how the same papers that lambasted her for putting on pounds are now characterizing her as the glowing, lovely pregnant lady. Right, because those folks were just worried about her health before, and now they are so relieved. I mean, if she was getting fat, then bad on her, but if she's pregnant, well, she looks radiant. Hold on, I think I feel my own morning sickness coming on, and I'm not even pregnant... Perhaps we have a new rule of thumb here: Wait until after the first trimester to make your pregnancy public. Unless you are famous and the papers start saying you are turning into Elvis--then you just wait until the coverage gets mean enough.
