JACKSON GETS A THRILL OVER "THRILLER"


Michael Jackson's money troubles just continue to get deeper and deeper as he's now being sued by John Landis over unpaid profits for the "Thriller" video he co-wrote and directed in '83. Landis filed the suit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to Variety, the suit accuses Jackson of "fraudulent, malicious and opressive conduct" by failing to pay landis 50% of the net proceeds. This news comes on the heels of the announcement that was made Monday that the Nederlander Organization has obtained the rights to produce a musical version of "Thriller" with Jackson said to be heavily involved in the creative process.
I guess when it comes to Wacko Jacko, it's like Biggie said, mo money, mo problems. For old times sake, click the photo above to watch the video.
