Who could forget Bubbles?

Since the death of the pop icon, many have wondered what happened to Jackson's primate companion. It turns out the monkey is alive and healthy in a Florida animal sanctuary, People.com reports.

Jacko's treasured pet chimp was a source of joy to the singer and drew a lot of mockery from the media. The chimpanzee lived with Jackson through the 80's and accompanied the singer to movie premieres, parties, and recording sessions. The pair often dressed in similar outfits.

He may not be getting dressed up these days but Bubbles, age 26, is now at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, and is apparently doing quite well.

Yes, I am very serious....It happened on the show Wolf Blitzer is normally hosting. In the middle of a sentence, the Breaking News sound FX played, the logo appeared, and the cut a reporter who seemed fretful about the question of the animals that were at NeverLand way back when, and especially the chimp. I’ll see if I can find the story...
