<p> The hottest ticket in Manhattan last week was printed on a
white glove, but for most of the 1,500 guests who showed up for
Michael Jackson's Thriller party at the American Museum of
Natural History, it was strictly a hands-off evening. Almost
no one got within hailing distance of the carefully shielded
host, who sported a discreet hairpiece in his first public
appearance since he was hospitalized last month for scalp burns
suffered while filming a TV commercial. After accepting awards
from CBS Records and the Guinness book of World Records, which
certified his Thriller as the biggest solo album ever (25
million copies sold), Jackson, 25, made a quick exit to a small,
private reception in the Elephant Room of the museum. There he
mingled with such privileged well-wishers as Sean Lennon, Carly
Simon and Brooke Shields. Why throw the monster bash at an
institution where the furs are usually stuffed? Explained a CBS
spokesman: "Michael has a love of nature--and it's big."
