Singer Michael Jackson is being SUED by John Landis, the director of his iconic music video “Thriller”, for not paying him his chunk of the dough. What? Wacko Jacko trying to do something unlawful? Perish the thought!

Apparently, Landis was supposed to get half of the royalties, and Jackson just decided to keep all the dough for himself. He had to get the money for his Elephant Man, monkey butlers, and Jesus Juice SOMEWHERE, people. Give him a break!

The amount that Mikey owes Landis is around the $1 million mark, and the lawsuit was said to be the “last resort” that they had come to after trying to contact Jackson multiple times to resolve the matter. You know that Michael was screening those calls, right? Sitting there listening to the answering machine, wearing his parachute pants and trying to keep his nose from sliding off. Just another normal day in the Jackson house!
