BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - A visibly angry Dick Clark filed a $10 million lawsuit Wednesday against Grammy Awards president C. Michael Greene for allegedly blacklisting performers who appear first on Clark's American Music Awards.

Clark said the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences president induced singer Michael Jackson to break a promise to appear in the Jan. 9 American Music Awards show.

The Stars Don't Like the Record Industry Either

I'm going to sue Dick Clark for filing this silly lawsuit, and I'm going to sue you for posting it so I had to read it, and I'm going to sue Jim Robinson for creating this forum that allowed you to post it, and I'm going to see Michael Jackson because he is a homosexual pedophile.

Courtney Love does the math

[laughs] Isn't this kind of like the Judean Popular Peoples' Front squaring off against the Popular Peoples' Front of Judea?!

I'm going to see Michael Jackson because he is a homosexual pedophile.

But he would only want to see you if he were a necrophile.

Something you need to tell us, dead?

[dead]

And I'm going to sue you for implying things.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were "A Boy Named Sue", Written By Shel Silverstein and sung by Johnny Cash.

Shel is dead, but Johnny isn't.

What's up with that?

[MeekOneGOP]

Bump. All I really know is all the fun we had watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand when I was a kid!

Oops! Guess I just aged myself there, huh??? Oh, well! ;-)

[MeekOneGOP]

LMAO!

[NittanyLion]

And I'm going to sue you for implying things.

ROFL. Couldn't resist!

And I'm suing you for making me laugh at your posts!

[The REAL Capt. MORGAN]

This guy Greene is a real ahole. He was bringing the Latin Grammy's to Miami this year and pulled out at the last minute. Cost Miami like $35 mil. He used the Cuban exile protesters as the excuse. They rescheduled for 9/11 in LA. They never were broadcast, so all the Latin stars got screwed big time. This guy will be history soon. GO DICK!

Message to Dick Clark:

Personally I'd sue the Grammy's because they suck, Dick

[dead]

I'll counter sue! I know you were laughing at me, not with me. That caused me much pain and suffering.

[exit82]

And I'm countersuing for lost wages because I can't work with my sides splitting so much, my wife is suing for loss of my services, and I'm suing you for using a screen name that begins and ends with the same letter. So there!

[exit82]

I've decided to settle. Ally McBeal is on the way over with the settlement papers. Just disregard the fine print.

Song #3 = "My Girl Bill"

All the talk of suing in this thread will have lots of bills flying back and forth...

"Mr. Greene has caused me a lot of pain and a lot of stress," Clark said.

And made him very, very angry, too. Hmmmm. Attention, everybody: I hereby announce that I'm going to sue my ninth-grade Spanish teacher. She once caught me chewing gum and pointed it out to the rest of the class, thus exposing me to public humiliation, shame and embarrassment. As you can see, I'm visibly shaken and completely stressed out over the incident. Really, really stressed.
