Video choreographer sues Jackson estate; says Michael  Jackson molested him

Wade Robinson: 'Michael Jackson Was a Monster' And  Sexual Abuser

The lawyer for famed choreographer Wade  Robson tells TMZ, Michael Jackson was a "monster" who sexually abused Wade for  seven years as a child ... and threatened him if he ever went public.

Via TMZ:

Robson's lawyer, Henry Gradstein, tells TMZ,  "Last year, on a career trajectory that was off the charts, he [Wade] collapsed  under the stress and sexual trauma of what had happened to him for seven years  as a child."

Robson spent many weekends with Jackson at  Neverland Ranch and his other homes in L.A. and Vegas between ages 7 and 14.  Gradstein goes on ... "He [Wade] lived with the brain washing by a sexual  predator until the burden of it all crushed him."

Gradstein says Michael would tell Wade, "If  anyone ever finds out about what we did we will go to jail for the rest of our  lives" and “our lives will be ruined forever.”

Gradstein tells us the threats worked, and  Wade kept his mouth shut, adding, "This kind of intimidation of a child by a  sexual predator is tragically characteristic and effective, keeping them quiet  about the abuse - often for a lifetime."

Wade was steadfast for years that MJ did NOT  molest him and indeed became Jackson's star witness at his 2005 molestation  trial, adamantly denying any untoward conduct. The lawyer says, "Michael Jackson  was a monster and in their hearts every normal person knows it."

TMZ broke the story ... 30-year-old Robson  has filed a creditor's claim against MJ's estate alleging the singer molested  him as a child and asking for damages. Sources tell us ... Wade is claiming the  reason he didn't file the claim on time is because he repressed the memories of  the abuse.

Gradstein says they have not asked for any  specific amount of money in their legal docs, although that's clearly the point  of filing a creditor's claim. He then trashes what he calls "the Jackson money  machine" which he says is "at it once again to keep the truth from coming out."

But he says, "This time it won't work."

American Idol FIRES ALL FOUR JUDGES!

Fox is going "in a different direction

None of the four judges on the singing  competition will be asked to return next season!

Via bossip:

Longtime  producer Nigel Lythgoe is expected to get the boot. And despite reports to the  contrary, Fox isn’t even considering bringing former judge Jennifer Lopez back  as a lifesaver for next season. “All four are gone,” the insider told TheWrap.

“They feel they’ve lost their core audience and they want it back.” Driven by this belief and the need to attract younger viewers, Fox is set to make major on-air changes to “Idol,” the most notable of which will be an entirely new judging panel.

New judges pop icon Mariah Carey, rapper  Nicki Minaj and country star Keith Urban won’t be back. Even original judge  Randy Jackson won’t survive the blood bath this time around.

All four judges have options to return for  another season, but Fox won’t be picking them up, according to the knowledgeable  individual, who said: “No more big checks for divas.” Fox’s meltdown has  everything to do with the talent competition’s declining viewership.

Its ratings are already down 22 percent this  season and it hit a series low for ratings last Thursday, when it attracted only  11 million viewers and a 2.4 rating/7 share in the ad-coveted 18-49 demographic.  The ratings slide is especially problematic during May Sweeps, where ratings  numbers are used to dictate advertising rates.

The network has resolved to stop paying the  huge salaries it has been shoveling out for its big name talent, i.e. Carey’s  reported $18 million package, Minaj’s $12 million salary and former judge  Jennifer Lopez’s $15 million. The show’s format will also change.

Its look will be redesigned and the dated  tribute nights will be a thing of the past. But the show’s trademark audition  episodes will continue.
