We’re all shook up over our Lisa Marie Elvis coup
7:00am Tuesday 4th November 2008
Comments (9)THE daughter of rock ‘n’ roll god Elvis Presley is coming to south Essex.
Lisa Marie Presley, 40, is set to join more than 250 Elvis impersonators at the Battle of the South competition in Corringham next month.
The former wife of pop star Michael Jackson and Elvis’s only daughter will attend the final show of the contest.
It will see tribute acts of the King fight it out every other Sunday throughout November and December for the title of “Elvis of the South”.

Maybe she isn't like Basildon women who feel they have to take 18 years off work and claim off the government after having children.
I said I doubted Lisa Marie-Presley would be going, not many mums would leave their two month old twins to fly across the world to attend a small event in Corringham which probably isn't paying a huge fee.
