What are your plans for summer?

Well, I’ll be working! Basically what I’m doing now; starting the process of getting the songs, of getting everything together for the album.

Do you have a deadline for when you want to have it completed?

No (big smile), I don’t. Yea, and I’m glad I don’t, no pressure.

What is your process for recording an album? Where does it all start?

It really starts with my life, and where I am in my life at that moment. And that’s the beginning of the energy, the beginning of the process. I need to make sure I start feeling that thing when I sit and write. That’s where true love begins.

Are there any producers you’ve worked with in the past that you plan on bringing back for your next album?

(Big smile)You mean like Jimmy J (Jimmy Jam)?

Are there any artists today who you are really wowed by?

I think Adele’s done an incredible job- a wonderful job. And you know who I love to watch? Bruno Mars. I think he’s absolutely wonderful. He’s very talented and I love how he’s kind of low-key about it. It’s nice.

Is Janet Jackson Planning A Summer Wedding?

Sweet Sweetback — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:28:48 +0000

Janet Jackson who recently dropped a ton of weight may have an ulterior motive, word on the street is that she did it because she wants to look her best at her upcoming wedding to billionaire boyfriend Wissam Al Mana.

According the National Enquirer:

The 45-year-old pop star has dropped 30 pounds on the Nutrisystem diet over a five-month period, and The ENQUIRER has learned that her motivation for shedding the weight was to slim down for a late summer wedding to billionaire Qatari businessman WISSAM AL MANA.

What’s more, Janet and Wissam, 36, are making arrangements to raise her beloved late brother MICHAEL’s children — PRINCE, 15, PARIS, 14, and BLANKET, 10 — once her elderly mother KATHERINE can no longer care for them.

“Janet and Wissam have been planning to marry for some time, but she wanted to fit into the perfect wedding dress,” said a family insider. “And once she and Wissam are married and settled, she wants to take custody of Michael’s children.”

A group of dancers got the surprise of their lives when Janet Jackson walked on stage during their set. The rambunctious unit and Jackson were there to help celebrate the 100th episode of his daytime talk show! Aside from the giving the young man the moment of his life, Janet revealed why she never called her father “dad” and Whitney Houston as a performer.
On Why she never called her father ‘Dad’
I never asked why and I just left it as it is. When our parents tell us something you don’t question it. It is what it is and you just leave it alone because if you don’t, it’s going to go to another level that you don’t want it to go to. So I left it at that but I never asked my other brothers and sisters why they didn’t call him “Dad”. Well, I tried one day to call him “Dad” but he said “My name is Joesph; you call me Joseph. I’m Joseph to you.”

On Whitney Houston as a performer
Incredible. She was known as ‘The Voice’ and when she would open her mouth and this instrument would come out and you would obviously understand why. She was such a sweet, sweet soul especially back in the late 80s; early 90s is when I connected with Whitney the most. It doesn’t matter if we were doing an award show, we would always take the time out to find one another. Either she would come to my dressing room to say hey and I would be in make-up or I would find her to say hey in her dressing room. We would always find time to talk to one another. She was such a sweet soul.

Janet Jackson has been named PETA’s Grinch of the Year for 2011. Just as the singer’s Blackglama billboard went up in New York’s Times Square – a fur label – the animal activists are putting her under attack.

PETA released this statement saying,

“When Janet Jackson had her infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during the Super Bowl, at least the flesh that popped into view was her own – unlike the stolen animal skins that she drapes herself with, which are as dead as her taste in fashion (not to mention her career). Ms. Jackson, you’re just plain nasty.”

Kanye, Kim Kardashian and more have been called out by PETA as well for their refusal to wear fake fur.

Janet Jackson Is Nutrisystem’s New Spokeswoman

HelloBeautifulStaff — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:00:00 +0000

Janet Jackson is set to share her diet tips with her fans after signing up as the new spokesperson for the NutriSystem weight loss program. Janet opened up about her struggles with weight in her 2011 bestseller “True You” when she ballooned up to 180 lbs for a movie role, becoming the butt of fat jokes in the tabloids.

In this new role, Ms. Jackson will be the iconic new face for the Nutrisystem brand, the focal point of the SUCCESS campaign and the co-founder of a new initiative to help combat hunger.

Janet has reportedly lost 10 pounds in just over a month on the weight loss system and says:

“I am so impressed by both the thought and the nutritional science behind the program. There are millions of women like me who want to be successful but don’t have the tools to do it on their own. I hope I can help inspire them.”

Bitch don’t know @Sweetback got the scoop? Wedding bells may soon be ringing for Janet Jackson! Word on the street is that Janet’s billionaire boyfriend Wissam Al Mana, recently popped the question, and the happy couple could be tying the knot at the end of the year, and plan on starting a family right away.

“Janet is head over heels in love with Wissam,” said a close source.

“He’s showered her with love, expensive presents and boosted her self-esteem by helping her lose weight and shape up.”

Wissam, 36, first brought up a walk down the aisle last fall, when he reportedly presented the Jackson clan beauty with a magnificent 15-carat diamond ring.

But Janet, 45, wasn’t ready because she wanted to focus on preparations for her current concert tour, which runs into September.

“Now Janet’s telling friends that an official engagement announcement will come by summer’s end, and that she and Wissam will marry in late 2011 – and they’re shopping for an even bigger diamond ring to celebrate their official engagement.”

The two are anxious to start a family as soon as possible. Janet would love to have a baby the natural way, but at 45, she’s also looking into adoption possibilities, according to the source.

Janet may want to get working on that baby stat, that biological clock……

The North American leg of the tour, which is currently underway, will be continued in the fall after a scheduled spring and summer in Europe. Originally slated as a world tour of 35 cities to match the 35 number one singles from her double-disc album, NUMBER ONES, JANET will now greatly exceed her planned dates.

Accordingly, we are profoundly honored, and believe it most fitting, that her performance in the Louvre Museum will be yet another masterpiece captured under our glorious glass Pyramid. I believe the evening with Janet Jackson will be a great ‘coup’ for our institution!”

Janet herself was just as flattered, saying, “The Louvre and its stunning glass Pyramid are equaled only by the priceless treasures that are housed within its impressive walls. It is an honor to be asked to participate in such an incredible evening at this historic location. ‘Liaisons au Louvre’ will be an unequaled event, raising much needed funds for this institution and the preservation of art that moves the soul.” SOURCE

Iconic musician, Janet Jackson, recently proved to the world that aside from being a phenomenal singer, dancer and all around great performer, she is also an excellent author. Her very first book entitled, “True You” tops the charts of the New York Times Bestsellers list for this week and takes us behind her infamous, “velvet rope”. Go head, Miss Jackson!

“True You” is a novel based on her personal experiences, growth as a person, her battles with self-worth and even her weight issues. Janet not only reveals her personal experiences in the book, but she also gives nutrition tips and recipes for the dishes that have helped keep her in awesome shape over the years.

“True You” was released earlier this month, and seems to be an excellent read for anyone who can relate to any of Miss Jackson’s life experiences!

Janet Jackson has struggled with her weight her entire life, and revealed when she was a kid, she was teased by her older brothers. The singer made an appearance on “The Today Show” and revealed the following:

“I would literally bang my head up against the wall because I didn’t feel attractive . . . There was a lot of pain in my life. But I did. I felt very unattractive.” She has a much better handle on things now, though . . . quote, “I still have issues with it. I don’t bang my head up against the wall, but I still have those moments.”

The issues Jackson had may go back to how she was treated by her brothers, including Michael, who had nicknames for her like “Horse, pig, cow, slaughter-hog,” she said.

“It makes you laugh, it really does. It makes you laugh. I guess some people could say, ‘Oh that’s, you know, brothers and sisters joking, it’s all affection, it’s all, you know, it’s in a loving way.’ But not everybody can brush it off, and I was one of those,” she said.

The Dirt On Janet Jackson’s New Boyfriend Wissam al Mana

HelloBeautifulStaff — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 20:30:51 +0000

Janet’s new boyfriend has been a total mystery man. All we know is that his name is Wissam al Mana and we’ve seen her jet around the world with him.

Luckily, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia has sat down with Janet’s new man to profile him. Here’s the low-down:

WISSAM al Mana, 36
Managing director of al Mana’s fashion portfolio which includes Hermès, Sonia Rykiel and Agent Provocateur.

Career in a nutshell:
I work in a family business founded by my late father over 60 years ago. Today our group comprises over 50 companies in the Gulf region in real estate, automotive istribution, engineering and construction, retail, food services and media, and is managed by my two brothers and I.

In 2004 I wanted to expand our retail division into luxury. Today, our luxury division comprises of over 40 stores in the Gulf, representing brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Hermès, Balenciaga, Chloé and Roberto Cavalli. We have also developed two Saks Fifth Avenue department stores, one in Dubai and the other in Bahrain, with plans to open more.

How did you pick your career path:
I spent many years growing up in London where I developed an early love of fashion and remember applying for a job at every fashion boutique on the Kings Road. At 14 I finally found a weekend job at a multi-brand store. I really enjoyed it andbegan to acquire an insight into the world ofretail that would prove crucial for my career.

Who is your career role model:
My father was a very humble and down to earth man, and was known for being very honest and trustworthy. He taught us many great values such as to treat our employees with dignity and respect.

What ambitions do you harbour:
I would like to get more involved in art, photography and design. I would also like to get more involved in philanthropy and maybe take some time off everything to do just that.

Janet Jackson’s Tipsy Date Night With Wissam Al Mana [PHOTOS]

What do you wear to work:
I’m usually wearing a pair of jeans by Dior, PRPS or Dolce & Gabbana. An Hermès or Balenciaga hoodie, Rick Owens tank top and leather jacket with a pair of sneakers or Louboutin hi-tops. Sometimes I wear a suit – only Giorgio Armani made to measure – with an Hermès shirt, belt and shoes. When I’m in the GCC I like to wear my traditional attire; thobe and ghutra, which is so comfortable and I love the fact that it’s tailor made and you can choose between different fabrics. Besides, it’s part of my culture and heritage.

Who is your dream woman:
I think a man’s dream woman changes as he goes through different stages in his life. I’m fortunate to be dating my dream woman now.

What is your dream boy’s toy:
Ha! That’s funny because my girlfriend [singer Janet Jackson] just bought me the most amazing gift; a 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors… and it’s in mint condition. That’s my ultimate boy’s toy.

Is greed good:
Greed is terrible. I think we need to learn how to be content with what we have. Money doesn’t buy happiness, nor do material things.
