Following a disappointing album and a very public squabble with his record label, Micheal Jackson has told reporters he is taking time off from his music career to dabble in movies. Following a cameo role in ‘Men In Black II’, Jacko is now looking for other film roles. He told journalists: "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." Rumour also has it that Jackson hopes to supersede Nsync’s Lance Bass in becoming the first pop star in space. According to the US based Gold magazine there is "some truth in" speculation he wanted to recreate his famous moonwalk on the moon. Bass’ space mission came to an end when he failed to pay the Russian Space Agency the money required for a seat on their next space flight.
