A Thriller for Jackson: Hundreds of frenzied fans mobbed Michael Jackson as he posed with Donald Trump for pictures at Trump’s glitzy new Taj Mahal Casino Resort, which previewed Friday in Atlantic City. When Jackson rode an elevator down from his penthouse suite at the 1,250-room casino hotel, his fans surged forward and tried to touch him. Jackson, dressed in a black hat, black top coat and pinkish-red shirt, grabbed his hat and bent down to the floor as security guards formed a human chain to push back the crowd. Later, fans pursued Trump and Jackson as they headed for a nearby cafe. Once inside, the doors were locked and the few diners inside began fighting for Jackson’s attention. Jackson left through a back entrance after posing with a few fans for pictures.
