princess 1,712 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 Janet Jackson Turns Bust Into Boomimdb.comSinger Janet Jackson is planning to turn her infamous Superbowl breast exposure into a new fashion business. The "That's The Way Love Goes" hitmaker is planning to launch her own range of saucy underwear and jewelry, including nipple rings, leather bras and chastity belts, after her nipple decoration shocked American audiences at the National Football League final two weeks ago. According to British tabloid The Daily Star, Jackson has been telling friends, "I'm so excited about this. I have the opportunity to bring to the world some of the pieces that I wear in my own private life." A fashion insider explains, "Janet's come up with a few possible names for her label. She likes the word 'exposed', so she's working on variations, including 'decent exposure'." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 'SNL' Set to Gamble on Janet Jackson STEPHEN M. SILVERMAN people.com Janet Jackson, who has been in the news for one reason or another lately, has her next gig in place: she'll appear on the April 10 edition of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," her first planned network TV performance since baring her star-studded breast at the Feb. 1 Super Bowl. NBC announced Thursday that the pop diva, 37, will host and perform on the program, marking her first time on the show since she was a musical guest a decade ago, reports Reuters. The appearance happens to coincide with the release of Jackson's newest album, "Damita Jo," which is due out later this month. A spokesman for "Saturday Night Live" said he knew of no plans by the network to establish a tape-delay when Jackson is on the show, as CBS did for the Grammys and ABC did for the Oscars. (The preventative measures that were added after Jackson's act with Justin Timberlake during the Super Bowl halftime show.) Jackson was reputedly barred by CBS from the Grammys after she rebuffed the network's demands to issue an on-air apology as a condition for appearing on that show. She subsequently bowed out of plans to star in an ABC TV movie about big-screen and nightclub legend Lena Horne after Horne, 86, objected to being portrayed by Jackson, saying she was offended by the Super Bowl incident.

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 Wow look at the PDA from Beauty and the beast!! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called Janet a Beast like that.From IMDB.COMJanet's Struggling Album Poised for Re-Release Janet Jackson is hoping for a second shot at success with her latest album Damita Jo - bosses are reportedly planning to release a revamped version of the project. The album was expected to shift hordes of units when it was released in March, following the endless media attention Jackson received when her breast was exposed at February's Super Bowl during a duet with Justin Timberlake. But since its release, a disappointing 863,662 copies of the album have sold - a poor comparison to her previous projects. And now news website Eurweb reports that Virgin Records plans to re-release Damita Jo in a package which will include six new tracks - and hopefully reignite interest in the struggling CD.

Guest Naran Report post Posted July 15, 2004 This came out some time ago but still... Ashcroft Detains Janet Jackson's Right BreastThe singer's controversial body part is dispatched to Guantanamo for questioningBy Andy BorowitzNewsweekUpdated: 2:48 p.m. ET Feb. 04, 2004Feb. 4 - Just hours after singer Janet Jackson shocked the world by exposing her right breast at the conclusion of Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show, Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the offending breast detained "indefinitely," Ashcroft confirmed today."Janet Jackson's right breast has been taken into custody and sent to Guantanamo for questioning," Ashcroft told reporters at a Washington briefing on Wednesday. "We'd very much like to know what the breast knew and when it knew it."Jackson's right breast was detained under a little-known provision of the Patriot Act which enables the government to detain celebrity body parts that make surprise naked appearances at nationally televised sporting events.Under that provision, Ashcroft explained, Jackson's right breast will not have access to a lawyer but may face a military tribunal at some point in the future.When asked about Jackson's left breast, Mr. Ashcroft said that it is not a suspect at this time but that it remains "a breast of interest.""We would like to know if the left breast knew what the right breast was planning to do," Ashcroft said. "It strains credulity to imagine that the right breast acted alone."Elsewhere, experts around the world confirmed that moments after Jackson's breast fell out of its lingerie-style housing, Western civilization fell as well.Dr. David Campeaux of the University of Minnesota said that experts were "surprised" Jackson caused Western civilization's long-awaited collapse. "We all expected a Jackson to do it, but not Janet," he said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyD 2 Report post Posted April 15, 2006 Janet Jackson Tunes Leaked to Internet That new Janet Jackson music making the rounds on the Internet is apparently not as new as you might think. The pop superstar, who is working on a new album, says someone has leaked songs she recorded at least two years ago when working with hitmaking producer Rich Harrison. At least one song has already made the rounds, titled "Put It On Me." "A couple of years ago I recorded some tracks with Rich Harrison. But none of that music will appear on my new album," Jackson said in a statement released to The Associated Press on Friday. "I have a tight rein on all of the music that has been recorded." Jackson's new album, tentatively titled "20 Years Old," is expected to be released later this year. She hasn't released an album since 2004's "Damita Jo."

BobbyD 2 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Janet: What She's Done for Us Lately You know Janet Jackson cannot get a break. She’s always stayed away from her family, but they keep pulling her back in. In January 2004, right after Michael was arrested on child molestation and conspiracy charges, Janet played the Super Bowl with Justin Timberlake to promote her upcoming "Damita Jo" album. That’s when the "wardrobe malfunction" happened. Timberlake danced away and Janet was left holding the bag. "Damita Jo" and a subsequent album tanked. She gained and lost 60 pounds. It was a bad time. Now comes "Discipline" with a couple of really hot singles, set for Feb. 26. On "Discipline," all the ambiguous stuff is gone. Janet is back to hooks, catchy rhythms and defined singing. Besides the single "Feedback," I heard four tracks on Thursday that were more like the Janet of "Control" and "Rhythm Nation." The up-tempo numbers, "Rollercoaster" and "Rock With U," are killer. The former is produced by Rodney Jerkins, a favorite of Michael. Ne-Yo, the hottest producer right now in R&B (remember the Neptunes?), contributed the dancing "Rock W U" and a breezy, jazzy "Pillow Talk"-like love song. Another almost rock/R&B mid-tempo ballad, called "Greatest X," shows off Janet’s Michaelish vocals and a memorable piano line. If the rest of the album follows suit, Jackson may be back in a big way. But what’s the significance of Janet recording a song called "Rock With U" when Michael once had a huge hit with the same name? Only a family therapist might know that answer. Anyway, my money is on "Rollercoaster." So much for now. What with Madonna following these two releases at the end of April, we’re in for a big diva spring! May the best woman win!
