The Celebrity Exes
Who could forget the awkward kiss between Lisa Marie Presley and MJ at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards? Presley defended her marriage to Jackson in a MySpace blog post following his passing: "Our relationship was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship, yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'normal life' found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part." These days, the daughter of rock 'n' roll is living in England, raising twin baby girls.
Jackson's fellow former child star Brooke Shields, who once dated him and spoke at his memorial service, just signed on to star in the musical Leap of Faith alongside Tony nominee Raúl Esparza. Maureen McCormick, who dated Jackson when she was 16, has been keeping fit — she's lost 50 lb. in the past 10 months and showed off her slimmed-down figure in OK! magazine.
