Producers of "The Kitty Kelley Show" pilot offered three former members of Michael Jackson's entourage up to $20,000 to appear on the inaugural show. All three turned the offer down, but other guests accepted. "Yes, in order to make some of these people come forward, we did have to pay. The fact is, when you're looking for exclusivity you must compensate," said Ron Ziskin, the show's executive producer. "You have to pay people," said John Goldhammer, senior vice president of program development for MCA-TV.

The pilot, with guests LaToya Jackson, Jackie Jackson's ex-wife and parents Joe and Katherine Jackson, is being offered for syndication. Ziskin and Goldhammer wouldn't reveal which guests were paid.

Even the police pay for informants," said Goldhammer.

Nazareth, University of Iowa professor of English and African- American world studies, is bringing the late king of rock 'n' roll to campus in a three-credit course, American Popular Arts: Elvis as Anthology.

Beginning next week, 50 students will learn about Presley, his music, his movies and his influence on American and international culture. Presley, who died in 1977, would have been 57 last week.

"This is not a frivolous course by any means. Everything starts somewhere. My attitude is that there's always a beginning," said Nazareth, who has been at the university since 1973.
