Janet Jackson paid tribute to Michael Jackson, performing a “Scream” dance off with her late brother at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

The Michael Jackson tribute began with Madonna honoring the King of Pop in a speech about her relationship with him.

Madonna ended her speech saying, “Yes, Michael Jackson was a human being but he was a king. Long live the king!” eliciting a standing ovation from the audience.

Then live dancers took to the stage, performing in sync with Jackson’s greatest hits videos playing on a giant video screen in the background.

Janet Jackson joined the onstage dancers, shattering through glass to end the tribute with an intense performance.

Janet Jackson BET Awards 2009 (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Meg — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:04:11 +0000

Janet Jackson and her father Joe Jackson attended the BET Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles, in order to be on hand for a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Joe, who sat in a ringside seat next to the Rev. Al Sharpton, was dressed in a black hat, dark glasses and a dark suit. He said, “I wish the world had recognized him when he was living. Right now, he’s bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this.”

Jamie Foxx opened the show in a red leather “Billie Jean” jacket and demonstrated Jackson’s signature Moonwalk. Foxx admitted he hadn’t done it since 1983 and said, “I hope I can make it.” He told the crowd, “No need to be sad. We want to celebrate this black man.”

Janet Jackson took the stage and spoke briefly before the video tribute began. She said, “My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was too painful. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. He will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

A little known fact is that Michael Jackson recorded 100 secret songs that were intended to provide a legacy for this children at his death.

Janet Jackson was interviewed recently by Tyra Banks for an upcoming segment on her award winning daytime talk show The Tyra Banks Show. The gorgeous model also hosts the popular reality show America’s Next Top Model.

Banks and Jackson huddled backstage in Jackson’s dressing room before the singer’s performance at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on September 19, 2008. Not long afterward, Jackson was stricken with a mystery illness that has caused the cancellation of her Rock Witchu Tour.

Latest reports indicate the celebrity has been suffering Vestibular Migraines, which bring on vertigo symptoms of dizziness and nausea. Janet is taking the advice of her personal physician and has been trying to get well enough to get back on the concert circuit. Latest word indicates she may be able to resume her activities by the weekend.

Janet’s eye makeup seems a little extreme. She looks like she might be trying to look like Catwoman. Check it out in our photo gallery below.

Janet Jackson Rushed to Hospital on ‘Rock Witchu Tour’ (Photos)

Meg — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:39:38 +0000

Janet Jackson, 42, was rushed to a hospital after suddenly becoming ill during a stage sound check in Montreal, Canada on Monday, two hours before a scheduled performance. The singer was in the city to perform on her Rock Witchu Tour. Jackson is reportedly being monitored for a mystery malady.

The tour is her first in 7 years and has hit a few bumps in the past few days. On Friday she canceled her Detroit show which was scheduled for Saturday, citing ‘production constraints’. We’re not sure what that entails but that show is now rescheduled for the end of October. No word on the new date for the latest cancellation.

Janet’s All For You tour was in 2001. Check out our photo gallery below with pics from both tours..

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri: Fashion Hit or Miss?

Missy — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:31:28 +0000

Singer Janet Jackson is forever reinventing herself. This is not uncommon for stars who have been in the business for so many years. A new and exciting fresh look keeps the fans coming back for more. Look at Madonna and Cher - it has definitely worked for them over the years.

When it comes to Janet and her longtime boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, well…their style sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. I have found photos of the two that date back as far as 2004, and it seems that they haven’t always had bad style. From time to time we have all been fashion challenged.

Check out all of the photos below.

No idea why but this photo of singer Janet Jackson, at her little boyfriend Jermaine Dupri’s 36th birthday party at Tenjune last night, made me giggle. Is she French?

Look at the photos closely and doesn’t it look like someone took black construction paper and cut that hat out for her and taped it to the photo. I may need more coffee – who knows.

FCC Overruled in Janet Jackson Super Bowl Nudity (Photo, Video)

Meg — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:57:08 +0000

Janet Jackson caused a fire storm of controversy in 2004 while she and Justin Timberlake were performing during the Super Bowl half time show. The duo were rocking the crowd as Timberlake sang “Gonna have you naked by the end of this song”. In a seemingly deliberate move, he tore away part of Jackson’s costume, revealing her breast.

Jackson, in what she believed to be a career limiting backlash, apologized for the situation, though she never admitted to planning the stunt. The FCC promptly levied a $550,000 fine against CBS. The network decided to fight the stiff and unprecedented sanction.

Four years later, the matter has finally hit the bench of a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. The group has ruled that:

“The Federal Communications Commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity. Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second guessing but it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure.”

Interestingly, Jackson told Oprah Winfrey, more than two and a half years after the incident, that she regrets apologizing for the accident because it made her look guilty in the eyes of the 100 million people who witnessed the wardrobe malfunction.

Janet Jackson Album Promotion Scrapped by Record Label

Missy — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:01:28 +0000

Janet Jackson hasn’t had much luck with her last few album releases. Her latest, Discipline, won’t have much of a fighting chance since her record label has put an end to promoting the album.

Janet wrote to Perez Hilton about her labels decision:

We started off with Feedback and the label and myself haven’t quite seen eye to eye since the single so they’ve kind of basically stopped all promotion.

I’m trying to figure out a way to say this, but just to say it and to be quite honest, they just stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album, so I don’t think you’re going to hear another single off this album.”

Control, Rhythm Nation: 1812 and janet are three of her albums that proved to be huge successes, earning her 19 hit singles. Currently Janet holds the record for scoring the most #1’s in America from the same album for over three successive years.

Check out the Feedback video below.

Janet Jackson made a special announcement Monday morning on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I’m kicking off my tour, my ‘Rock With U’ tour,”Jackson said.

The first show is on September 10th, and Janet has set up a phone number for fans to call in and let her know what songs they would like to hear during the concert tour. The number is 323-622-8139.

Janet also told Ellen she is working on trying to get her brothers to do a Jackson 5 reunion. How amazing would that be? I saw them perform in Dallas in the 80’s – 1983 I believe – and it was an amazing show!
