The estate of Michael Jackson has settled a lawsuit filed before the Gloved One's death three years ago. According to TMZ, actress-model Ola Ray, who co-starred in the groundbreaking "Thriller" video, sued Jackson for breach of contract in May 2009 (a month before his death), claiming she'd never been paid royalties for her work. There's no word what the payout was. And she wasn't the only person with a claim. Director John Landis is said to be in negotiations with the Jackson estate on similar grounds.
