It was "State of Shock" back sometime in the 80's. Why did everybody think doing a duet with Michael Jackson (McCartney, Jagger, even Eddie Van Halen with his solo on Beat It), would help their career?

That reminds me:

Rapper Missy Elliott reportedly snubbed pop superstar Madonna on the set of the commercial they shot together for clothes company Gap. According to American magazine, the New York Metro, the Work It star kept the singer waiting while she sat in her car chatting - and then refused an invitation to spend time with the Material Girl at her Los Angeles home. Elliott had told television reporters in America this week how honored she felt to appear alongside Madonna in the advertisement. She gushed, "I always dreamed of working with Madonna because I always thought that if I had any kind of connection with another artist it would be Madonna." However, according to the Metro, Missy kept Madonna waiting for 45 minutes while she spoke on the phone, and then when the singer tapped on the window to encourage her to hurry up - Elliott reportedly dismissed her with a flick of the hand. Missy then snubbed Madonna's attempts to get the pair to bond, by turning down an invitation to her swanky LA pad. The magazine claims Elliott only cooperated with Madonna - who has been paid $10 million to promote Gap - when handlers advised her it was in her best interests.

Why does everyone keeps giving Madonna lucrative work? She flopping in everything she does.
