Lisa Marie Presley made bold claims on ex-husband’s sex life. 

Lisa Marie Presley’s new memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, released on October 8th, was completed by her daughter, Riley Keough, after her death in January 2023.

In the memoir, she boldly claimed that Michael Jackson was a virgin at 35 when they began their relationship. 

“He told me he was still a virgin,” Presley wrote in the book. “I think he had kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he’d had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss.”

“He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened.” 

She also mentioned that this revelation worried her, as she didn’t want to make any wrong moves.

The Dirty Laundry singer shed light on the start of their romance, when she was still married to her first husband, Danny Keough. 

However, they separated soon after Jackson confessed his during a trip to Las Vegas.

The singer wrote, “Michael said, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children.”

“By then, I felt I was in love with him too.” she added.

Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson got married in 1994, but their romance was short-lived and the couple divorced two years later in 1996.

He went on to say: “That’s all that I was thinking about that I was after, is here’s this young man who’s telling me a joke and he’s nervous to tell me the joke, I can tell that he’s nervous, and I’m going to hear him out. And it’s a pretty good setup.”

Joker 2 ending scene has shown Arthur Fleck, who has found guilty for all the murders he committed in the previous film, being killed by another inmate of him at the Arkham Asylum, reported Dexerto. 

Director Todd Philips also agrees with the Grammy Award Winner’s thought and says that “I think Joaquin is so beautiful in that scene. It’s such a small nothing. I mean, beyond the death thing.”

He continued saying in support of the scene: “That moment where he’s looking at the kid and he’s kind of giving the kid a polite laugh in the setup. He’s showing appreciation for the comedy and appreciation for putting yourself out there.”

The fans of ‘Joker’ did not have the same kind of positivism as the actor and director of the film had.

Prince Harry shares sweet details about Archie and Lilibet’s inherited traits.

Prince Harry has revealed an adorable detail about his children, Archie and Lilibet, during a recent appearance at the WellChild Awards. 

Speaking to HELLO! magazine’s Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, Harry shared that his young children have inherited their mother Meghan Markle’s long, thick hair.

“Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair,” he said, adding with a smile that it won’t be long before Lilibet will be sitting on it herself! 

The heartfelt comment came as Harry spoke about his children with enthusiasm ahead of the awards, where he has long served as patron. 

Sophie noted that his genuine energy and affection for the cause were clear, reflecting the deep connection he feels to this special day.

During an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, he divulged: “The Spencer gene is very, very strong.

I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that should this go the distance and we have kids that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes, but I was wrong!”

Prince Harry is embracing life at 40 with enthusiasm, buoyed by friends who’ve told him it’s the best decade yet. 

At the recent WellChild Awards, he shared his high hopes for the milestone year while also giving a humorous update on life at home with Meghan and their two children.

According to Sophie, Harry said his wife has her hands full not only with the kids but also with their three unruly dogs—who are still not quite house-trained—and their chickens! “She’s holding the fort,” he joked, clearly relishing his time away. 

She noted that Harry seemed “in his element” at the event, which he has attended for years in his role as patron. 

For the Duke, the real joy is spending time with the children, parents, and professionals honored during the night. 

Royal editor Emily Nash, who accompanies the Prince each year, observed that the Duke is always seen playing with the children, often on his knees, laughing and raising their spirits—something that has taken on even greater meaning since becoming a father himself.
