Curtains closing on Michael Jackson thriller musical

Michael Jackson is being sued by thriller video director John Landis

Associated Press - Wacko Jacko is being sued again, this time by John Landis. The Twilight Zone Movie director claims the Gloved One and producer James L. Nederlander lack proper rights for a Broadway adaptation of the “Thriller” video and music. Days earlier, Landis’ production company, Levitsky Productions, Inc., sued Jackson for non-payment of related royalties.

Seems like Jackson doesn’t have a pot to you-know-what in these days and is relying on the kindness of strangers to get by. Landis claims to have paid $400,000 for “Thriller” rights and hasn’t since seen a dime from game licenses, related comic books or toys.

What I’d like to know is what Jackson did with all the money. Veils, mascara, and plastic surgery bills must have eaten his bank account alive.

    Michael Jackson .. He was the KiNG OF POP!! Michael Jackson spent his money on lots of things ; Surgery, His Backyard Wonderland, and believe it or not but he paid $50,000 to release himself for pedefilia charges!! .. Michael Jackson was the only person who could dance.. No-one knows the true meaning of dancing except for him ..

    The King Of Pop will never be forgotten.. Both Elvis Presely and Michael Jackson!!

    Michael Jackson was my hero.. All those people who called him WACKO JACKO or accused him as a rapist can get a life before it comes back around on them.. It' called Karma..
    I'm not a bad person but just hoping people mourn over his death rather than tease him and not let go of his faults and mistakes..
    You make mistakes , DON'T YOU? So how would you like it if I went on International TV and broadcast it around the world.. How would you feel!! Anywaiiz I'm Outskiies.. r.i.p ..
