Marlon Brando, whose appearances in films are becoming more and more infrequent, was paid $1 million by Michael Jackson to appear at Jackson's 30th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden last year to deliver a talk praising the singer, according to Fox.com's Roger Friedman, who cited reliable insiders. Contacted by phone and asked to confirm or deny the report, Friedman said, Brando replied, "I don't talk to the press!" and hung up on him. He quoted an unnamed Jackson associate as saying, "A million bucks? Yeah, I heard that. That's why Michael has so little cash for himself." Friedman says that Brando's appearance "was so boring it had to be cut from the televised show."
