Lisa Marie Presley's twins won't be calling Priscilla Presley "grandma."

"We say 'Nona' it means 'grandma' in Italian," the Dancing With the Stars alum, 63, tells Entertainment Tonight.

"There's just such a connotation with Grandma, and I just liked it better," she adds. "[Lisa Marie's children] say it so sweet: 'Nona.'"

Lisa Marie, 40 whose twins with husband Michael Lockwood will arrive this fall has two children from a previous marriage to Danny Keough.

Us Weekly first broke the news in its issue last week that Lisa Marie was expecting a double delivery. On Tuesday, Priscilla confirmed it to ET.

"It's her time to celebrate with her husband," Priscilla says. "My daughter is a very family girl. She loves children, and I know that she and Michael have been hoping for this for a long time."

Over the weekend, Lisa Marie's rocker pal Pink threw her a baby shower.

Priscilla says she is ready to dote on the little ones.

"I'm looking at baby stores; I'm looking at all the incredible things that are out there today that I wish that were there during my time," Priscilla tells ET. "It's just fun to have a baby!"

    Gag me with a spoon. Priscilla looks like she got buried with Elvis and just emerged from a tomb. I heard her plastic surgery got botched up somehow and shes got some paralyzed parts on her face, that's why she looks so funky. Lisa Marie on the other hand - is soo beautiful. I hope she learns a lesson from her mothers botch job and doesnt go anywhere near a surgeon! ELVIS LIVES!

    Prescilla, honey, you are old enough to be my mother and I am a grandmother! Get over it! The only connotation in being called grandma is that your child had a child. Besides, being called 'Nona' instead of grandma doesn't make you younger, look younger, or seem younger.

    Almost all of you have it right about Prisilla.. she looks like crap.The first time I seen her I couldn't believe my eyes..Almost didn't know it was her. I know she has to be feeling terrible. Well, I can say one thing.. Money doesn't buy you beauty.. Its sad to think how beautiful she was and she wasn't even happy with that... I call that GREED. Maybe she should
