Today, President Donald Trump spars with Meryl Streep and socializes with Sarah Palin and Pamela Anderson's ex-husband Kid Rock, but once upon a time, Trump vacationed with Hollywood's biggest stars. Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker attended his 2005 wedding to Melania, and his Mar-a-Lago country club, now "White House south," functioned as a meeting spot for pop culture behemoths like Sean "Puffy" Combs (now P Diddy), Celine Dion, and Michael Jackson—celebrities who built their careers from the bottom up.
Trump employed Dion to perform at Mar-a-Lago to show off to Palm Beach old timers that despised him, and J. Randy Taraborrelli reports in his definitive biography Michael Jackson: The Magic, the Madness, the Whole Story that Jackson and his first wife, Elvis' sole child Lisa Marie Presley, consummated their relationship at Trump's Palm Beach resort.
"It was romantic," Trump said according to Taraborrelli. The author claims the couple held hands and frolicked on the sandy beach. "Later, I asked Michael how things were going," Trump recalled. "He said, 'Great. I just got to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world. I hope I'm worthy of her. I think I might marry her."
The couple went on to spend their honeymoon at Mar-a-Lago in 1994 followed by a trip to the pink Disneyland Hotel located at Euro Disney Resort (now known as Disneyland Paris). When they returned to the United States, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson shared an NYC apartment in Trump Tower located beneath Trump's own all-gold home. Last year, Trump told ABC News Jackson was "a very good friend" and "he lived in Trump Tower for a very long time." (White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and Presley's agent did not return Broadly's request for comment.)
n the mid-1990s, both Trump and Jackson collaborated with then A-list hip-hop impresarios. Jackson and the Notorious B.I.G. recorded a duet, "This Time Around," for Jackson's 1995 album HIStory, and Trump was the Nicki Minaj of 1998, recording guest verses forPras's Ghetto Supastar and Method Man's Tical 2000: Judgement Day.
