In March 2008 it was revealed that Lisa Marie was suing Britain's Daily Mail newspaper after it printed comments that she was 'piling on the pounds'. Lisa Maries claims that due to the reports, she was forced to reveal she was pregnant.

She is also the founder of the Literacy, Education, & Ability Program, (LEAP) that raises money and awareness to fight illiteracy. Lisa is also the international spokesperson for children's rights for CCHK, a humanitarian organization working to stop the psychiatric drugging of children.
Lisa: (claiming she met her father, Elvis, through a medium in 2008) This was my dad, this was Elvis coming through. It was so overwhelming that I started to cry. The most comforting thing he told me is that even though he's not here physically any more he is still with me and he watches over the babies too.
Lisa Marie(about her mother Priscilla being on Dancing With the Stars): She can dance. She can dance well. I'm just going to be so nervous. I don't want to be in the audience. I'll be in the back... biting whatever's left of my nails off!
Lisa Marie(on if her experience with the tabloids regarding her pregnancy will be a possible theme for her next album): I don't want to make it all about that. It'll be whatever's on my mind, everyday. That's usually what I write anyway.
