Here is the new print ad for Blackglama, the brand that is ?all mink, all the time? (my tagline). In previous ad campaigns, Blackglama has hired Sophia Loren, Diana Ross, Lauren Bacall and Linda Evangelista for their campaigns, called ?The Legend? campaign. Janet Jackson is the newest ?Legend? and while I think she deserves the title, it?s off-putting seeing Janet front for mink. Blackglama?s press release claims: ?Janet is an icon in the world of music and entertainment, a true legend. She represents everything that this storied campaign embodies. Janet is to entertainment what Blackglama is to luxury.” The ad is going wide in the September issues of Vanity Fair, Vogue, W, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar and Women’s Wear Daily worldwide. And as you can imagine, PETA is pissed:
Animal activists have taken aim at Janet Jackson for signing on as the new face of fur firm BlackGlama.
The pop superstar was announced as the brand’s new ‘What Becomes a Legend Most?’ spokes model on Thursday and she’ll model high-quality mink items in the ads - and PETA bosses have been quick to react.
Spokeswoman Amanda Schinke says, “It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide, but we didn’t think that Janet was this desperate.”
“Surely she knows enough about suffering and unjustified death to recognize that both occur in the production of a fur coat. We are asking her to think again and to donate these stolen skins to be used as bedding for animals orphaned by other human-caused disasters, such as loss of habitat.”

Um, ?downslide?? Really, PETA? You can?t just make the statement about animal rights, you have to disrespect Janet?s career? Note to PETA: this is why people dislike you. At this point, PETA should just stick with the cold hard facts of how mink coats are made, the details are disturbing enough without personally attacking someone?s career and calling Miss Janet ?desperate?. UGH.

Getting to work on a brand new project, Janet Jackson was all smiles on the set of "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" filming on location in New York City on Thursday (June 3).
Proudly flaunting her short new hairdo, the 44-year-old was joined by director Tyler Perry and co-star Kimberly Elise for the day's filming duties.
As for the film, which also stars Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington and Anika Noni Rose, a synopsis via IMDB tells that it's "a drama based on Ntozake Shange's about existence from the perspective of 20 nameless black females."
Aside from her movie endeavors, Miss Jackson is said to be on cloud nine with her new relationship with 35-year-old millionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana.
An insider close to Janet told InTouch magazine, "He seems to have given her a new lease on life since her brother Michael died. He's younger than Janet, taller than Janet and far richer than Janet. He has become her knight in shining armor. For the first time in Janet's life, she's with a man who pays for everything. He's filthy rich."

Showing off her short new 'do, Janet Jackson was out on the red carpet at the Ritzy Cinema in London, England on Friday (May 21).
The 44-year-old smiled as she posed for pictures before heading inside to check out a special screening of "Why Did I Get Married Too?"
The theatrical outing comes amidst reports that Miss Jackson has moved on from ex Jermaine Dupri, as she's said to be dating 35-year-old Qatar businessman Wissam Al Mana.
Previously telling Gotham magazine that she'd like to settle down and have children in the future, Janet said, ?At some point I would like to do theater ? it?s something I?ve always wanted to do,? she told Gotham magazine of things she hasn?t done but would like to accomplish. I?ll do more films. Produce. And I would like to have children.?

Treating herself to a delicious dinner, Janet Jackson was spotted leaving Nobo Berkeley restaurant in London, England last night (May 19).
The ?Rhythm Nation? songstress looked a bit apprehensive as she made her way out of the restaurant to find a swarm of shutterbugs waiting for her.
Janet has been seen all over London sporting her much-shorter coif this week, a drastic change from her usually long locks.
It is good to see Ms. Jackson out and about, as she?s been maintaining a relatively low profile since the death of her brother Michael Jackson last June.

I?m honestly not trying to show off my lack of knowledge about black women?s hair, but I honestly don?t know if Janet Jackson?s newly-cropped look is a fashion statement or a styling necessity. Does Janet usually wear wigs? Or does she have a weave? Or was her previous hair all her own? Here?s a photo of her from early May, at the Costume Institute gala. My call? I think the roots are hers but she got some weaves/extensions happening, and probably a full-on hairpiece for the bun.

She has always been good about showing love to her fans, and last night (December 6) Janet Jackson made it a very special evening for a lucky girl.
The “Control” songstress was grabbing some dinner at Mr. Chow’s restaurant in Knightsbridge, West London when a young female fan approached her for an autograph.
The 11-year-old girl told Jackson that she was a big fan of her late brother Michael and Janet shed a tear before pulling her onto her lap and signing a book of the late King of Pop for her.
Ms. Jackson was in the UK for her performance on the television talent show “The X Factor” earlier in the evening.

Happy to be on the ground in London, England, Janet Jackson was spotted today (Dec 3) arriving at the Heathrow airport.
Bundled up in a black scarf, the “Nasty” singer kept her shades on as she was escorted out of the building and to an awaiting chauffeured ride.
Miss Jackson is in town ahead of a performance on the final episode of “The X-Factor,” as only four contestants are remaining. Janet will perform on the Sunday night grand finale.
Star judge Simon Cowell originally hoped to have Jackson’s late brother Michael on the show. But the king of pop died before he could fulfill his UK mega-tour.

Singer performed her new single, "Make Me."By Gil Kaufman

Janet Jackson paid loving tribute to late brother Michael Jackson at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awardsin September. But on Sunday night (November 22) at the American Music Awards, it was all Janet.
The singer's powerhouse singing-and-dancing clinic opened the show and included the new single "Make Me," a song featured on her recently released greatest hits collection, Janet: Number Ones, as well as a trip through her back catalog, leaning heavily on Control. The singer performed on a night when Michael is nominated for five awards, including artist of the year.
Opening in silhouette, Janet and her dancers bounded into "Miss You Much" as she skipped across the stage, throwing off some of her classic side-to-side shuffles and head fakes while wearing a buckskin outfit and brown suede boots. Though the outfit featured a plunging neckline, it was somewhat demure for the artist known as much for her provocative outfits as her chart dominance.
After a bit of "What Have You Done for Me Lately," she busted into "If," cribbing a move from her brother and grabbing a crotch ... hers and that of a male dancer. Jackson then slid into the new single, "Make Me," a fun-time disco jam that returns to her high-energy early singles and features a lyrical hat-tip to Michael's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
Crowd shots found members of the Black Eyed Peas, brother Jermaine Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Carrie Underwood cheering Jackson on during the fast-paced routine.
The medley ended with the hyped-up "Together Again" as Janet stood alone at center stage, smiling as the audience showered her with applause.

While many of the people who worked with Michael Jackson on his "This Is Is" concerts expressed surprise at his struggles with drug addiction, sister Janet Jackson told ABC News that she and her family were well aware of her brother's demons.
In fact, Jackson said that she and her family reached out several times over the years to confront Michael about his drug problem and stage interventions, to no avail. "That's what you do," she told interviewer Robin Roberts in a sit-down in which she also blamed Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, for the singer's death. "Those are the things that you do when you love someone. You can't just let them continue on that way. And we did a few times. We weren't very successful."
The youngest Jackson sibling said Michael, to whom she was very close, understood that his family was trying to help him, but that he was "possibly" in denial about the extent of his problems. "I wish he could answer this question for you and not me," she said. "I felt that he was in denial."
A coroner's report found that Jackson died of a lethal amount of the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol, a drug he reportedly used to combat his chronic insomnia and which Murray has told police he administered to Jackson several times on the morning of the singer's death. Jackson told Roberts she thought Murray was responsible for her brother's death.
"You can't make 'em drink the water," Janet tells Roberts about forcing someone to face their addictions. "It's something that you can't do for them, something they have to do for themselves." Janet also revealed in the interview that she learned first-hand what the ravages of addiction can do during her first marriage to James DeBarge, who has admitted a prescription medication dependency. After eloping with the singer, Jackson said their marriage fell apart after three months due to DeBarge's addiction.

She’s been keeping relatively quiet since her brother Michael’s death back in June, and now Janet Jackson has spoken out about who she blames for the tragedy.
In a new interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the “Control” songstress says she holds Dr. Conrad Murray responsible. “[He] was the one administering propofol. I think he is responsible.”
Janet also recounted how she initially found out that the late King of Pop had been taken to the hospital. “I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call ... [My assistant] said, ‘Your brother’s been taken to the hospital. It’s on CNN right now.’ I called everyone’s … There’s a line busy or someone wasn’t picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya.”
“I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that’s how I found out that he was no longer ... I couldn’t believe it. It just didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream.”
Jackson added, “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that. It’s been a tough year … And a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him.”
