Michael Jackson wants to ditch music for film career
Michael Jackson wants to take a couple of years off from the music business to pursue a career in film.
Jackson, who recently took a cameo role in Men In Black II, says he has always wanted to work in the movie business.
The singer also says there is "some truth in" speculation he wanted to recreate his famous moonwalk on the moon.
There has been talk the star is teaming up with one of the members of the Apollo 14 mission to become the first pop star to be launched into space.
He said: "I've always wanted to do film, but the tours got in the way. That's why I want to take several years off just doing film.
"I'd like to get six great movies behind me, and then I'll do a little bit of touring, then I'll do more filming," he told Gold magazine.
The music legend told Gold magazine he found it difficult that "there was nowhere in the world" he could enjoy privacy because people knew his best disguises, which consisted of "bat suits, buck teeth, glasses, afros, prosthetics and make-up jobs."
Jackson, who said he enjoyed visiting theme parks after hours, says he is trying to make up for a lost childhood.
"When I was seven, eight years old I was in nightclubs. I saw striptease girls take off all their clothes. I saw fights break out. I saw people throw up on each other. I saw adults act like pigs.
"That's why I compensate now for what I didn't do then. So when you come to my house, you'll see I have rides, I have a movie theatre, I have animals," he said.

Well one upside to a Michael Jackson film career is that he's already got his own makeup and costumes. He could star in just about any horror flick just the way he is.

Gay porn? More likely kiddie porn.

"Halloqueen 41"?
Cut costs by not requiring a goal keeper's mask?
"ET Stop Biting My Neck" ?
But seriously:
"Jackson, who recently took a cameo role in Men In Black..."
Which creepy, crawley, shape changing, beyond rational belief, comic monster did it play?

Oh no, oh GeeWhiz, the perp actually said,
" "I'd like to get six great movies behind me... "?
Why does the phrase "behind be" sound so like Michael Jackson?
Bet he already has plenty, but is legally afraid to make them available to the Kiddy Porn Channel...

Sorry Jacko, you'd be an excellent lead actor, with the milky white skin and all, but Hollywood isn't planning a new release of "Nosferatu the Vampire".

"I've always wanted to do film, but the tours got in the way. "I've always wanted to do film, but whether I would be an actor or an actress always got in the way." Decision time, bud. fsf

Damn! When I saw the title of this thread, I thought 'I give this three posts before the kiddie porn jokes start'. It took four. Must be a slow night.

Jacko's recent record releases have been absolute stinkers. He's looking more and more like a musical "has been."
This move is probably more from necessity than anything else.

The singer also says there is "some truth in" speculation he wanted to recreate his famous moonwalk on the moon.
There has been talk the star is teaming up with one of the members of the Apollo 14 mission to become the first pop star to be launched into space. But are we actually obliged to bring him back??
