...celebrity who never risks unaccompanied strolls is Pop Singer Michael Jackson, the subject of this week's cover story. Jackson has become increasingly reclusive, avoiding interviews and using his family's palatial home in Encino, Calif, as a hideaway. When Worrell started working on the story, even Jackson's friends and family declined to speak with her.

Jagger, who has two other daughters, Karis, 13, by American Singer Marsha Hunt, and Jade, 12, by his ex-wife Bianca Jagger, was present in the delivery room but thus far does not intend to marry Hall, apparently fearing that a divorce would cost him millions.
