Michael Jackson liked to shock, but never more so than when he unveiled his secret marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.
Just one year on from his out -of-court settlement with Jordie Chandler over child abuse allegations, conspiracy theorists accused Jackson of marrying to fix his public image.
But according to Jackson and Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie - who were 37 and 27 respectively at the time - their 1994 nuptials were the real deal.
Appearing on ABC's Primetime Live, they announced that they were deeply in love and trying for a baby.
"Do we have sex?" the blushing bride asked, to which both eagerly responded: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Like we're faking this?" an outraged Jackson said.
His wife added: "How can you fake this 24 hours a day - sleeping with somebody, waking up with somebody? I'm not going to marry somebody for any reason other than the fact that I fall in love with them."
However, after the marriage ended with Lisa filing for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, she admitted she'd had a rethink, telling Rolling Stone: "I can tell you my intentions; I can't tell you what his were."
Whether real or not, their two-year marriage was certainly an interesting one, with outlandish claims from Jackson faking sex through to him 'screeching' his way to orgasm...
'Fake sex'According to one former employee, Jackson would spray Lisa Marie's underwear with perfume and throw it on his bedroom floor to make it look like they'd had sex.
Sandy Domz, who worked as an administrative assistant at the Neverland Ranch, told CBS documentary Inside Edition that "it didn’t seem to be a natural relationship or a friendship."
She claimed: "Michael would get a hold of some underwear and throw them on the floor.
“They were also sprayed with perfume and it was to make it look like Lisa Marie had been in the bedroom.
“But to my knowledge, she was never in there. She was either in the Rose Room or had slept on the guest beds.”
And Jackson's ex-maid, Adrian McManus, alleged the star even went as far as to place broken glasses by the bed to suggest a night of wild passion.
“I had to clean them up and felt it was Michael playing games with me," she told The Sun.
“It all seemed so set up because that had never happened before. Sure, there were his underpants, shirts and trousers discarded, but nothing belonging to women ever were there.
“I thought that he was trying to make me think that something was going on between him and her. I knew they were dating, but he was trying to make me believe they were sexually close. I always had my doubts."
'Singing sex'When they were at it, Lisa Marie is said to have told friends that her husband liked to sing and shriek his way to orgasm, reducing her to fits of giggles.
The couple first got down and dirty at Donald Trump's Florida mansion, with Lisa telling friends they romped 'all night', according to the book Dark Lady by Anthony Gregoreli.
What's more, the Thriller singer apparently loved doing the deed in a standing position.
"It was absolutely wild. He was slow getting started, then he just wanted more and more," she reportedly said.
Nude videoJust to make it very clear that theirs was a sexual relationship, Jackson and Lisa decided to roll around in a temple wearing next to nothing in the video for his 1995 hit You Are Not Alone.
It wasn't their first eye-catching PDA, with Jackson having snogged Lisa Marie in the middle of the stage at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards - a move that got her thinking about the true nature of their romance.
"That was not my idea, by the way," she told Rolling Stone after their divorce, which she described as 'really ugly'.
"I was terrified. It was his manager's idea. I thought it was stupid. All of a sudden I became part of a PR machine."
'Sex quirks'J. Randy Taraborrelli, Jackson's longtime childhood friend, claimed to have gotten the lowdown on the star's sexual quirks from friends of Lisa Marie.
Writing in his book Michael Jackson: The Magic And The Madness, he claimed the couple had an 'intense and active sex life' but that some of his habits were a 'little odd'.
Namely that he would wear make-up to bed and scream with panic if it came off before nookie.
The pal told Taraborrelli: "The first time [Lisa Marie] went to turn on the lights afterwards, and [Jackson] leapt out of bed and ran into the bathroom so she wouldn't see his body.
