Janet News

Tyler Perry’s "Why Did I Get Married Too?" has grossed $30,150,000 – besting the first film’s debut box office sum by more than $10 million. Originally set for the top spot, the movie debuted at #2 behind ‘Clash of the Titans’, which rocketed to #1 after grossing a whopping $61,400,000 during the same period.

Janet Jackson’s visit to the Oprah Winfrey Show aired a few hours ago. Though the singer, 43, was there to promote new movie ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’ - along with Tyler Perry, she opened up a lot when questioned about the passing of her brother, Michael, last year. Indeed, Jackson candidly spoke about where she was when she heard the news, the family’s attempted intervention, how they knew he had a problem, Dr Murray, fondest memories of MJ, and a whole lot more.  








As you can see I'm playing ketchup...

And Here Is "Nothing" From the Movie's Soundtrack...not at all Hollywood in anyway, but I'll give her a pass. what did that cost $47 to make???





Janet Jackson will be headlining the 2010 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 2nd. The billing will be Jackson’s first fully-fledged concert since her ‘Rock Witchu’ tour stop in New York’s Madison Square Garden back in 2008.

No New Album For Janet Anytime Soon

Despite enjoying the limelight from both projects, Janet Jackson has revealed to Rolling Stone that she has not taken things a step further by recording a new studio album or even signing to a new label. Read what the diva had to say below:

“There was a time where I was actually in the studio and I was recording, but I’m not working on an album,” she says. “There have been a lot of record labels that have asked me to sit down and talk with them, but I don’t know if I want to do something completely independent, or go with a major.” Discipline was Jackson’s first disc on Def Jam after she left her longtime label Virgin.

So what about the new songs? “Nothing” is a one-off she co-wrote and co-produced with Jermaine Dupri for the new Tyler Perry film Why Did I Get Married Too?, and the lyrics reflect the tensions and turmoil between characters, like Angela’s trust issues with Marcus (”You can even have the password to my phone”), as well as her own character Patricia’s guilt and regret over Gavin (”We should cherish every moment like it’s the last”). As for the second song, Jackson said she did it as a favor for Rodney Jerkins, for “fun.”

When Jackson does return to the studio, she’s not sure whether she’ll work toward a classic pop album (as “Nothing” might indicate) or do something more dance club-oriented (like “Heartbeat Love”): “I haven’t decided on exactly where I want to go or what I want to do.”

Here’s the first pic released from the set of Janet Jackson’s “Nothing” video set. The song is for the Why Did I Get Married 2? soundtrack and is produced by her ex Jermaine Dupri.

Janet On New Album

Janet Jackson chopped it up with Gotham Magazine and dished on a bunch of things including her new album, new book, her love for the Big Apple and even wanting to start a family.

Check out these interesting excerpts…

G: What can we expect from your new album?
JJ: It’s going to be a little different. The writing is about life experiences. There’s a part of me that’s craving escapism, which is a sense of wanting to keep moving on with my work but also of coming to terms with reality. So I think it will be upbeat and light.
G: What do you love about New York City?
JJ: Everything. I love the energy—the creative energy. I’ve been here for 12 years and I will be here for the rest of my life.
G: Talk a bit about your new book.

Make Me...Janet Jackson Official Video

Here is the video for Janet Jackson’s new single "Make Me", the lead single from her "Number Ones" compilation (in stores now), premiered on ABC’s 20/20.

My first thought was, well Beyonce must have really started something with this white back drop set up. (yeah I know she wasn't the first, but "Single Ladies" makes it stick out in your mind forever) I've seen a lot of that lately(Chris Brown's "Transform Ya", Omarion's "Get It In").
But overall I liked it. Janet looked flawless from head to toe, hair make-up, everything. And dare I say she looked younger too. The costumes were nice as well, though could have given more, but the shoulder pads were a cool, futuristic touch. Halfway threw I felt as if I was waiting for her to really dance, a dance break or something, but that never came. maybe next time.

So all and all, I enjoyed it, I do want to be blown away by your next video though, come just a little harder, like only you can.

What Do you Think?

AMAs Fashion Wrap Up

So My Winner on the night has to go to Rihanna. Almost all the women of the night looked gorgeous, but i have to give it to her. She wasn't flawless, the under-eye red make-up she had going on drove me crazy. The dress was a daring one that only she could pull off anyway and she paired it with the perfect shoe. Some said that the dress only looked good from certain angles, maybe they're just being haters..


Whitney Houston looked great in her performance dress. Her hair was fitting and her make-up was flawless. She even looked like she gain some weight. That should put the drug rumor to rest (for now),then again that will only create pregnancy rumors...Either way she looked great.


Keri Hilson was also in attendance, unfortunately for her her stylist must have suddenly quit, or was on vacation cuz Keri looked a mess. The outfit wasn't that bad, boring and flaw revealing but not that bad, but the hair and make-up looked like she was an extra for Rihanna's Disturbia video...sorry I'm just saying.

Alicia Keys looked glam as usual. The dress was creative, the hair was tight and make-up right. The only thing I would have changed was the shoes. Maybe a gold with feathery embellishment. But thats just me.




Mary looked fab...What more can I say.






Janet didn't walk the red carpet, and other than her MC Hammer pants she looked OK. She could have done betta, but I guess she gets a pass, why I don't know. I don't even want to know why she get a pass for lip sychin for 8 minutes.

Toni Braxton(not pictured) and others looked swell too.LOL
