This is some dumb ish right here. Ola Ray, the jheri-curled side piece in Michael Jackson’s‘ ground-breaking ‘Thriller’ video wants her cut of the royalties. Damn girl, how late are you? Michael’s not even black or a man anymore and you’re trying to collect? Flip the script for more

The chick who starred as Michael Jackson’s female date in the “Thriller” video is suing Jacko and his production company — claiming she hasn’t been paid royalties from the legendary video.

We spoke to Ola Ray’s attorney, who tells us the former Playboy Playmate is suing for breach of contract because she claims she never got her cut of the “Thriller” profits.

We’re told Ola’s not sure exactly how much she’s owed — her accountants will figure that out.

Ola sit your broke @ss down with this ish.

In other Wacko Jacko news:

They say Jacko will bust his ass if he tries to perform. He is not stable and too frail to do the Moon Walk:

Skinny Michael Jackson has reportedly been told he is too frail to embark on his mega comeback shows. The Sun report that doctors said Wacko is 20lb underweight and needs to bulk up before his 50-date run of performances, which will include his famous dance routines. The 50-year-old King Of Pop is also battling an old back injury,… …takes antibiotics for a skin infection and wears a mask when he goes out to keep bugs at bay. Not exactly the picture of health, poor thing. The Sun quote a source as saying: “There are concerns Michael is too frail. He has been ordered to eat more but he refuses to and eats like a bird.”

The shows will mark Wacko’s first performance since a dodgy stint at the 2006 World Music Awards, where he only managed to sing a few lines of ‘We Are The World’. Reports say he is insisting on having live animals with him on stage and is planning to perform with his 12-year-old son Prince.

Michael better dance. Hell, he spent a bunch of that money the first week.

    She must be hurting, cause she’s reaching right now… GTFOH…

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    John Landis, the director, filed suit recently too. She must have gotten wind of that and now she’s coming out of the woodwork for her cut. I need to see if I can find a picture to see how she’s looking these days. Probably all doughy and used up.

    matter of time, which i why Mike waas smart enough to move to England.
    and regarding his health these niccas in the press will damn near try to tell
    people ANYTHING tomake them return their tickets, IT SO NEGATIVE IN THE US

  • Nigga Said

    Sueing is a full time job in a recession. I suggest everyone find something to complain about and sue the wealthiest person you can find. I’ve done it twice this year and made enough money to stay unemployed for 2 more years.

  • mzsweetface

    Is she still cracked out or something? You only have so many years to prosecute. So sad.

  • MJ

    geez that chick from the Way You Make Me Feel is C-R-A-Z-Y. you guys should look for her MySpace. she has photoshopped pictures of her & Michael. smh. but i do think Ola Ray is broke. Michael use to write her checks for $4,000 out of his own good will (even though he obviously had more). i dont understand why she deserves royalties tho (i know thriller was a huge hit). John Landis, yes, Ola Ray, no.

    Michael’s not even black or a man anymore and you’re trying to collect?

  • Christmas Jones

    @About it…I see you homie, I see you! lol

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAAAP!!!!

    eveinthegarden, got a point. Ola came outta nowhere and everybody was feelin’ her. I remember thinking, “Damn, Mike has GOT to be smashing them cookies.” Okay, I was young … and naive…

    She needs to get off the stage…

  • NEXT…lalalove

    HAHAHAHAHAH FUNNY SHIT! Is she serious??!!

  • sideshowbob

  • chocalady
  • Bored @ Work

    It took her this long, to figure out this shit?

  • brooklyn kid

    What is she like 50 now??? Hee haw hee haw, she’s a donkey

  • mzc2u

    Yall are really wilding on this topic, but she is dead wrong for bringing up this 20 year old shit!!

  • Shaunie

    She must be hella broke!

  • Katreise

    Just so everyone knows…this is not the first or second time she has tried to collect. Ola has been doing this for years..she has never got any money…20+ she has been saying she never got paid…so lets not past judgement..do the research.

  • Whut??

    Imagine how much she is owed? Why did she wait this long to collect on that gravy train? Did she think she was working for jheri curl products and honor of touching Michael Jackson at that time? What a dummy. Everyone I know bought that Thriller Beta/VHS when it came out in the 80′s. She’s got some bucks coming to her.

  • Cristal

    Yea she broke.

  • http://bossip.com This some shhhh…

    Damn, Jim Brown must have knocked all the cash out her ass.

  • BlahBlah

    I love how people don’t know the first thing about entertainment law, yet have so many (wrong) opinions. You don’t have to be a “star” to get royalties. Royalties are paid for the use of copyrighted materials (songs, inventions, plays, etc.) You get residuals for appearing in any form of media that gets broadcasted or published…it’s payment for the use of your image. The actual residual amount depends on the contract that you sign. SAG has certain standard terms for actors…management can up the amount if they know how to negotiate well. But not every form of media is covered by SAG. Of course, some people don’t know they deserve residuals (they’re just happy to be standing next to MJ for example), so they never bother to collect.

    See Turbo from Breakin as an example of someone who deserves some residuals from way back when.

  • Keirra J.

    This is 25 years ago. She must be desperate.

    I don’t feel sympathy for Mike’s condition. Any black man who goes through extreme measures to be white is a fool. He should of known their would be severe problems after whitening his skin. I’m not buying that ventiligo story.

  • sepia830

    It can’t be a coincidence that all the lawsuits are starting back up since it was announced that he will be touring in Europe.

    And trust and believe Michael Jackson is NOT broke. No way in hell he didn’t collect a big FAT check when he signed on to do those concerts.

  • B.I.N.F.L…

    SIT DOWN HOE AND GET A REAL JOB.

    @Christmas Jones:

    MJ had a song on one of his albums title MONEY, heres afew words from it which make me think of these suits ….. MONEY, Anything for money….Lie for you…Die for you…. Even sell your soul to the devil… Both Ms. Rays and Ms.Baines smell the possiblity of money from these conerts and they’ve got their greasy palms out already. It’s a shame. I read that MJ gave Ms. Rays money for years and he were not required too. We shall see what the court says, but I say…. MONEY, ANYTHING FOR MONEY…. LIE FOR YOU… DIE FOR YOU…. EVEN SELL YOUR SOUL FOR IT. Finally let me say this, the story is not about MJ’s skin color, he is not being sued because he used to be black and now he is white, as so many love to say.
