After weeks and weeks of practice, an organized group of flash mobbers known as “Flash Mob America” showcased their Janet Jackson flash mob in the streets of Los Angeles Saturday (Nov 14). In the middle of The Grove, LA’s premiere retail and entertainment destination, the group performed a select few of Jackson’s hits including “If,” “Miss You Much” and “Nasty” while Janet herself watched the spectacle from the rafters.

In her interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, Janet said she doesn’t want Dr. Conrad Murray, the man most likely responsible for her brother’s death, to continue practicing medicine. Why? Because she doesn’t want him to “accidentally” kill someone else. She also revealed that she doesn’t know if he was the only doctor giving Michael drugs, but she’s confident that the truth will come to light soon.

Her new compilation album, Number Ones, is in stores today and her big ABC interview will air tomorrow night at 9 PM.

Janet is also now single, recently breaking off her seven-year relationship with music producer, Jermaine Dupri. Does she still believe in marriage? “For [some] people, sure! I don’t know if I’ll get married again. [She's been married twice, as a teen to James DeBarge and to choreographer René Elizondo.] I’ll put it like this: If God wants me to, then I will.” Dating? “Yeah, I’ve had people ask me out. I haven’t entertained any offers thus far, but I’m locking myself in my work right now.” Some might say boys smell anyway. “Yeah, they stink,” she chuckles, “and they’re dirty.”

But an inside source tells people:

“They never really broke up,” source says, “Jermaine wanted to give her space when Michael died.”
