Priscilla Presley is the victim of a botched cosmetic procedure. What’s worse — it was at the hands of a gigolo who was sent to prison for perpetrating an injectable scam on Hollywood’s elite.
Dr. Daniel Serrano was injecting his clients with low-grade silicone similar to what’s used to lube auto parts. The doctor gave Priscilla the injections in 2003 and told her it was better than Botox. The feds have named him Dr. Jiffy Lube.
Several women, including Shawn King, Larry’s wife, and Diane Richie, Lionel’s wife at the time, held injection parties in their homes, with Serrano needling them with the non-FDA approved drug that he had smuggled in to the U.S.
Shawn King has said the injections created a lump in her lip that made it difficult to speak and drink liquids.
Serrano wasn’t even a licensed doctor in the United States.
What others said:
Dlisted says, “I’m waiting for the judges to tell her, “We need to see more emotion in your face!”
A Socialites Life says, “If your ass moves, your face should follow!”

Lisa Marie Presley is suing the Daily Mail for libel over publishing an article alleging she is overweight.
The 40-year-old daughter of Elvis Presley said the story, which was widely republished worldwide, forced her to confirm she is expecting a baby.
Her UK laywer Simon Smith said claims that she had an “unhealthy appetite” and is “growing like her dad” had left the star “deeply upset and offended“.
The singer, who is issuing the libel claim against the Daily Mail’s publishers, Associated Newspapers, at the High Court in London, also explained why she was forced into disclosing her pregnancy.
“I have had to show my cards and announce under the gun and under vicious personal attack that I am in fact pregnant,” she wrote.
‘Badgering and harassing’
The announcement comes days after photos of Presley eating lunch in Los Angeles emerged in some newspapers poking fun at her weight gain.
“Once they got a glimpse of my expanding physique a few days ago, they have been like a pack of coyotes circling their prey whilst eerily howling with delight,” said Presley.
The REAL reason Lisa is mad? It’s the picture below.
If someone took a picture like that of me and published it for the world to see… I’d be pissed too.
The once statuesque Lisa Maria Presley has doubled her weight. Rumors of a pregnancy has followed her bulge. Allegedly she gotten knocked up by Michael Lockwood, husband number 4. Obviously by the look of the photos she has begun to eat for two.
At age 40 it is hard to ward off the stress of time, but this is more than just pregnancy weight. She is said to have at least doubled her size. Her father, Elvis, had a long battle with weight issues. Here is where the real problems may lie. The constant yo-yo of weight may be due to eating disorder brought on by mental issues like depression.
Lets just hope she is knocked up and will shed the pounds after giving birth. If not….Lisa…cupcakes aren’t a replacement for love. Beer is though.
Elvis Presley has been dead for thirty years. But he’s still making more money than anyone likely reading this.
Just because you are dead, it does not mean you can’t stage a comeback. Web site Forbes.com (www.forbes.com) said on Tuesday that Elvis Presley regained the top spot on its list of the highest-earning dead celebrities, ousting Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain who had beaten him last year.
Elvis shimmied his way back atop the seventh annual list of 13 top-earning legends that he had ruled since its inception, with estimated earnings of about $49 million in the year ending this month. The rise from $42 million last year comes after CKX Entertainment, which bought part of his estate from daughter Lisa Marie Presley, embarked on a mission to renew interest in the late singer and actor.
Forbes.com said in a statement that the top 13 — who generated massive amounts of merchandising revenue — grossed a combined $232 million in the year.
In second place came Beatle John Lennon, who was murdered in New York in 1980 at the age of 40. He earned $44 million while the creator of Peanuts comic strip, Charles M. Schulz, took the third slot with earnings of $35 million.
Cobain was one of four who fell off this year’s ranking. He debuted on the list in first place last year after his widow, Courtney Love, sold part of his song catalog for a reported $50 million.
Rounding out the top five on this year’s list were George Harrison from the Beatles, who died in 2001, with $22 million, and German-born physicist Albert Einstein with $18 million. Einstein has become a key trademark in child education due to the Disney-owned Baby Einstein brand of videos and toys.
Many members of these lists are one-year wonders, who get on there because a movie came out, their estate was sold, or something similar. Presley and Lennon, though, are mainstays who continue to sell massive numbers of records decades after their passing.
