those "molested boys" are probably somewhere having the time of their lives thinking how easy it was to set up a gullible person like michael and laughing at how stupid people are for buying into the crap and believing them

I do not wish for children to be molested, but Michael does. You're defending a paedophile. I hope you feel proud of yourself.

Mate, buy a dictionary and sort out your use of the English language. Your inane rants might make a little bit more sense then...only a little, though. You're the one who needs to get a life.

I think at the moment John Landis becomes officially referred to as "Thriller director" and not as, you know, "John Landis" you can say that his career is over.

Some could say you're a loon for incessantly coming onto threads about a person you don't even like for the sole purpose of causing an arguement.

Or is it that you're lonely with no friends to talk to?

The fact that you often respond to each reply within minutes of it being posted confirms to me that you really are lonely with no friends to talk to.

I'm going to be logging off now and won't be checking back. By replying to you I feel as if I'm feeding the problem and I don't want to encourage attention seeking loners anymore.

MattyJam said:

Err, you just replied to me within one minute. Pot meet kettle.

If I'm online at the same time as someone else then I reply to them immediately. If I'm not, or I'm busy, then they have to wait. Nice try though.

People don't know that there's more to this so-called molestation case than what the media is telling you. This is just an distraction to the real issue. Read his lyrics to "D.S" and "They Don't Really Care About Us". on the HISTORY album to get a clue. He's sang songs about somebody wanting to get him and control him. Research it for yourself. A few journalist have lost their jobs investigating his case and remember Geraldo Rivera? He supported MJ and you don't hear too much about him anymore, do you? He's become too powerful and has been outspoken against the American government through songs. The Beatles/ATV catalogues that he owns, forget it. I have never seen Sony give him a hard time like this in all of his career. They want his 50% share of it which is worth billions, if he sells it. When you go against the grain, they give you an hard time. Believe it or not, just research it.

LOS ANGELES - Broadway producer James L. Nederlander says he's hopeful a legal duel over "Thriller" rights can be resolved.

John Landis, who directed the iconic music video, sued Nederlander and former collaborator Michael Jackson in Santa Monica, Calif., on Wednesday. His lawsuit states that Landis owns half of the video's dramatic rights and says Jackson doesn't have the proper rights to pursue a deal with Nederlander to bring "Thriller" to Broadway.

In a statement Thursday, Nederlander said: "I'm confident that these past differences can be worked out."

Landis' lawyer said Wednesday the director will sue to stop the production if necessary.

An attorney who has represented Jackson hasn't returned a phone message seeking comment.

For video star Ola Ray, it was the 'Thriller' of a lifetime

Zombies over Broadway! It's 'Thriller the Musical'
Millions lusted after her. Just as many envied her.

Twenty-five years ago, Ola Ray bagged a dream job, and a piece of history, by landing the role of Michael Jackson's blushing love object in the video for "Thriller."

Today, with "Thriller" bound for a new life as a Broadway musical, the 48-year-old Ray lives quietly as a stay-at-home mom in Sacramento, Calif.

She made little money from the clip and scored only a few major acting jobs in the last two decades.

"Everyone thinks I made millions," Ray told the U.K.'s Sunday Mirror recently. "But I don't care. ... I wouldn't change a thing."

It just thrills her to have been a part of a music video that changed the nature of the form and helped shoot Jackson's career into the stratosphere.

It all began in 1983, when Ray, a then-22-year-old model pining for an acting career, turned up at a casting call to play Jackson's girlfriend in "Thriller."

The clip, directed by the "Blues Brothers" overseer John Landis, promised to be the "Gone With the Wind" of music videos, the longest and most expensive clip ever made. Hundreds of young women showed up that day.

"I remember it like it was yesterday," Ray recently told Sacramento TV station KCRA.

"The minute I walked into the audition, I knew the part was mine," she commented to the Mirror. "I read a few lines, danced to some music, and the rest is history."

Ray had some prior experience before the camera - though in a far less demure role.

Three years earlier, she purred across the cover of Playboy's June 1980 edition and also graced its nude centerfold. "[Michael] seemed taken by the fact I was a Playboy model," Ray has said.

Her time with Playboy coincided with that of cover model Jeana Keough, now one of the @#$%$y stars of "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

At the time, Jackson was dating Brooke Shields, though Ray made it known she wanted that spot in real life as well as on screen.

It wasn't happening.

"He was cute, but childlike," Ray told the Mirror. "He loved chasing me or jumping out from behind a wall."

The clip took two weeks to shoot with an unheard of budget of $500,000. Ray knew her part didn't call for Meryl Streep-level acting.

"I was the girl who went running around screaming," she told KCRA.

The 14-minute video brought the already hot "Thriller" to a scorching peak. It greatly extended a run on the charts that, eventually, made it the top selling album of all time.

Meanwhile, Ray's career wasn't doing quite so swimmingly.

She snagged a bunch of small parts in the '80s, including playing "Hooker No. 1" in "Body and Soul," plus cameos in 1982's "48 Hrs.," 1983's "The Man Who Loved Women," and '87's "Beverly Hills Cop II" (in which she played - guess what? -a Playboy Playmate).

For a time she also dated the actor and ex-football player Jim Brown. Soon, however, the work dried up.

In 1992, Ray was charged with cocaine possession, which earned her a stint in rehab.

Jackson helped her out with money from time to time, cutting her checks for several thousand dollars, according to the Mirror.

For a while, Ray blamed Jackson for not getting her more money from the "Thriller" video, but in an interview last year, she said she had forgiven him.

In this decade, Ray gave up life in L.A. and moved north to Sacramento, where various relatives live. She resides there now with her daughter, Iam, 13.

Ray still aspires to an acting career, as well as one in music. In the meantime, she cherishes her memories.

"I didn't know that I was going to be part of history," she has said. "But that's the way it turned out, and I'm thankful."

Simple minds amused by simple things.

There was a comic book based on Thriller?

Nikademus said:

That's what some people have been saying. Michael has had plans for comic books, amusement parks based around Thriller and his other works but they got sidetracked, so this could be the reason why the "Thriller" amusement parks in Detroit and in Europe never came to fruition
