The Queen of Pop Janet Jackson invited ABC’s cameras to the set of her “Make Me” video and here a re a few video clips of some behind the scene footage of the Janet & her dancers filming the clip! Janet’s Number Ones compilation project hit stores this past Tuesday (Nov 17) and this is the lead single from the album.

This song is kind of hot!

Janet did a radio interview Tuesday morning with a station in D.C. and in an attempt to blast the rumors of she and Jermaine getting back together, she revealed that the pair were only friends and are NOT together:

95.5 WPGC D.C.: Now I wanna ask … you just mentioned Jermaine, and there are so many rumors going around. I don’t even know if you care to even talk about it. But, any plans on getting married?

Janet Jackson: No, I know the rumor that you’re talking about, and we’re not together. We never got back together. He’s still one of my best friends though, so people will see us together and in doing so, [people say] ‘Oh they’re together.’ But no, we’re not. I love that man.

WPGC: Aww…

Janet: I adore him, I really do. And he’s such a sweetheart. but no … we’re not together.

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.

The only other person in the family with a cash flow like Mike would be his little sister Janet Jackson, who graciously covered some of the cost of the funeral bill, which was a whopping $103,578.50 and she put up $49,372.50 initially. Documents state that MJ ’sestate was granted permission to pay Janet back the money though and they picked up the remainder of the tab.

As for itemized costs, the internment was $590,000. As for upkeep of the mausoleum — $88,500.

The casket coach — $295

Private security, lighting, baby grand piano, fan rentals — $176,020.31.

And there’s this — Framing of a photo of MJ which was placed next to the casket — $3,682.66

Wardrobe for the family — $1,975.50

Flower van — $125

Invitation programs–$11,716

Wardrobe cost of family–$1,975

Flowers–$16,000

People Magazine has confirmed that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are back still together, despite Janet openly speaking out about her relationship with Jermaine shortly after her brother Michael Jackson’s death for the first time in Harper’s Baazar claiming that she was single:

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.”

But before People confirmed this story JD’s long time friend, Bow Wow stated he fury against the media speculating about the break up and confirmed their intact relationship via UStream on July 23, 2009. Check out the video rant after the cut.

Singer Janet Jackson and musician Will.i.am hit up the UFC 104: Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida vs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua fight Saturday night (Oct 24) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Janet’s late brother Michael Jackson was reportedly a big fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Other stars spotted in the crowd were Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and if you look closely, Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy were in the crowd too.

Janet Jackson has publicly said herself that she’s “single,” so we’re not sure why this picture of her and Jermaine Dupri together popped up over the weekend. Apparently JD went with Janet to Milan, Italy for fashion week and the two of them were photographed (together) at a private party hosted by Donatella Versace Friday night (Sep 25).

So are these two rekindling their romance? We can’t say 100% because it’s just a picture. But for the sake of that big azz tattoo Jermaine has on the side of his body, we hope they can at least TRY to work things out…

Janet Jackson hit up the Giorgio Armani Fashion Show for their Spring/Summer 2010 line Thursday (Sep 24) in Milan, Italy. She’s currently over there for Milan Womenswear Fashion Week.

MTV has been airing her TV special, “The Making of Janet Jackson’s VMA Tribute Performance,” for about a week or so. The show takes viewers behind the scenes of her big tribute performance to Michael Jackson at the VMAs. Filled with a lot of emotion and still coping with the loss of her brother, Jackson says that she knows he was watching the performance and she hopes he enjoyed it.

“I know he was watching. I know he was looking down,” Jackson said of the performance. “I hope he enjoyed it.” The half-hour special began with day one of training in a Burbank, California, studio, introducing the celebrated choreographers who would accompany Jackson: Tyce Diorio, Tina Landon, Jeri Slaughter, Travis Payne, Brian Friedman, Cris Judd, Dave Scott, Mia Michaels, Laurie Ann Gibson and Wade Robson.

After Janet Jackson’s touching tribute to her late brother, Michael Jackson, Janet decided to tweet and thank the fans for their support and also gave a first listen to her single, “Make Me,” from her upcoming album.

I hope u guys enjoyed us tonight. It was very special for me n I have a very special gift for all of u.

D/L: JANET JACKSON – MAKE ME

Last night’s VMAs opened up with a touching speech about Michael Jackson by pop singer Madonna, followed by an upbeat dance routine featuring some of the King of Pop’s biggest hits. Among the dancers were famous choreographers Wade Robson, Tina Landon, Laurie Anne Gibson, and Chris Judd, who all put in hours of rehearsal time to make the tribute a success.

The highlight of the tribute was when MJ’s little sister Janet Jackson came out during “Scream” and broke it down at the end with the music video’s dance routine. The effect of the backdrop made it seem like MJ was dancing right beside her, which was so sweet! You could tell this particular performance was a bit difficult for Janet as she clenched her jaws and tried to hold back her tears at the end. But we applaud her for going up there and doing her thing in spite of just losing her brother just 2 months ago.

Janet Jackson gave her very first interview since the passing of her brother Michael Jackson to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine. The pop diva is featured on the cover of the October 2009 issue of the magazine and talks about the last time she saw Mike, her break-up with Jermaine Dupri and everything in between. She even revealed that she’s stayed away from the television, newspapers, the internet and the entire media in general ever since June 25th.

Janet Jackson hasn’t watched television since her brother Michael died suddenly in Los Angeles on June 25. She has blocked herself off completely from the hysterical media coverage of his death — who did it, what did it. “It will drive you crazy,” she says. “People can have rhinoceros skin, but there’s a point when something’s going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven’t watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, How’s Obama doing? I haven’t read a newspaper. On top of that, [we've lost] a family member.”

The last time Janet saw Michael was on May 14, two days before her 43rd birthday. It was a family celebration, the Jackson kids were running around, and she and her big brother hung out, ate Thai food, and tormented each other. “We had so much fun that day,” she says, her soft voice almost inaudible. “We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was.”

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.

We’ve kept from posting this due to the fact that it was falsely reported a while ago but now that MTV has confirmed it, we are please to inform you that Janet Jackson will be taking to the stage this Sunday to tribute her late brother, the one and only King of Pop Michael Jackson! The pop singer, who has nine moonmen of her own, will help open the show and honor MJ’s long and successful career in the music biz.

It’s about damn time someone gave MJ a proper tribute, and who better to do it than his sister? Janet has kept silent since the passing of Michael so this is a nice way to make a statement. We’re definitely looking forward to this Sunday! Expect this to sh*t all over BET’s “tribute.” Yes, we’re STILL bitter about it!

The VMAs will air September 13th at 9PM EST.

Nearly three months after his surprising death, Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest Thursday evening (Sep 3) in an intimate ceremony only attended by close family and friends at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, located in the Glendale district of Los Angeles. According to reports, guests were told the ceremony would start promptly at 7 P.M. (sunset) but the Jackson family left them waiting for about an hour until they showed up a little after 8 P.M. (PT). Jackson’s brothers, Randy, Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine, wheeled his gold casket to the front of the service once they arrived, and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael Jr., placed a gold crown on top of the flowers adorning it. They also wrote letters to their father that were placed inside of his casket, alongside one of his signature white gloves.

Celebrities among the attending guests were, of course, the Jackson family, Chris Tucker, Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Macaulay Culkin, Rev. Al Sharpton, MJ’s ex wife Lisa Marie Presley and Gladys Knight, who sang a gospel song after a prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith. Clifton Davis also performed “Never Can Say Goodbye,” the popular song he wrote for the Jackson 5. After the ceremony was over, MJ’s brothers carried his casket to the Grand Mausoleum, where Michael Jackson entered his final resting place.

After the service, the family ate dinner at an Italian restaurant in Pasadena, CA.

Pop diva Janet Jackson recently wrapped production on her latest film, Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married Too,” and announced via her newly launched Twitter page that she’s heading back to studio to work on her 11th album!

I just finished working on the film, “Why Did I Get Married Too.” I’m looking forward to getting started on my new album!

The photo above was rumored to be a new promo shot for the singer’s upcoming album, but this site has proven that to be completely false. In fact, that picture is just a photoshopped image of an old picture of Janet. She hasn’t even hit the studio yet for this new album, so how the heck would she have promo shots already? But kudos to whoever made that pic … it looks good!

You can also check out Janet Jackson’s revamped website for updates on her new project.

Last week reports surfaced that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri had ended their seven-year relationship but according to Pop Tarts, the two are just on a little break and will “be back together in full force very soon.”

“Jermaine has decided to take a step back and cool things off but they aren’t totally broken up,” said an insider, adding that keeping his distance from the press and Jackson family is his way of dealing with death and tragedy.

We’re told Jackson and Dupri’s romance turned rocky last September when Janet’s album “Discipline” (produced by her beau) flopped and she was then released from her contract with label Island Def Jam per her request. To make matters worse, at the time Dupri was President of the label’s Urban Music division, although he stepped down in January of this year. But despite the hiccups, the music moguls worked through it and just a few weeks prior to Michael’s death they even enjoyed a getaway together in Monaco along with Jermaine Jackson and his partner Halima Rashid.

Janet Jackson has reportedly returned to work on her latest film, Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too after over two weeks of coping with the sudden death of her brother, Michael Jackson.

Actor Malik Yoba, Jackson’s love interest in the film, confirmed the news on his audio blog:

“For those of you who are curious about the state of Ms. Jackson, all seems well,” Yoba said. “She’s here at work and we’ve got a couple of serious scenes to shoot today.”

He said the cast will shoot for another week in Georgia before they head to the Bahamas to film more scenes. Janet first heard of Michael Jackson’s death while on location in Atlanta for the movie and immediately flew to Los Angeles upon hearing the news. Tyler Perry was quoted as saying she could return to the set whenever she feels up to it.

The movie is set to be released in Spring 2010.

Here is a very touching photo of Michael Jackson’s brothers (L to R: Randy, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine and Jackie) as they wheel their brother’s gold casket to the front of the Staples Center for the public memorial, which was televised and streamed live on the internet to a record setting estimated audience of over 1 billion people.

In what had to have been one of the most difficult moments in her life, the late Janet Jackson took the stage at the 2009 BET Awards to thank everyone for their prayers and support in honor of her big brother, Michael Jackson.

“My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful … To you, Michael is an icon; to us, Michael is family and he will forever live in all of our hearts.”

Her unexpected appearance was met with applause and a standing ovation from the teary-eyed crowd. And we’re very proud of her for being strong enough to walk out on stage, speak to millions of people and keep her composure. We know how close she and Michael were. After Janet left the stage, Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx closed out the show with a beautiful rendition of “I’ll Be There.” Continue reading for more photos and video.

Jermaine Dupri took to his personal blog Tuesday to announce his new “rib cage” tattoo, which is by far one of the most painful places to get tatted up we hear!

THIS IS ME ON THE TABLE TWITTERING WITH YALL WHILE I’M GETTING MY RIB CAGE DONE. THIS IS THE LONGEST I HAVE EVER SAT FOR A TAT, I HAD TO TAKE 100 BREAKS CAUSE THAT SHIT HURT LIKE HELL. SHOUT OUT TO MY MAN JUN CHA. I TOLD YALL I WAS GETTING SOMETHING BY HIM. IF YOU EVA IN LA AND YOU SERIOUS ABOUT TATTOOS YOU NEED TO HOLLA AT HIM.

The tattoo is of his woman Janet Jackson, which clearly is a silent (but very permanent) way of him saying that she’s going to be his forever. Why else would you get someone’s face put on your body? Love is a powerful thing, y’all!

But if he likes it … we love it! And we hear Janet does too. More pics when you continue reading.

Beyonce and Jay-Z together, without a doubt, is the definition of “black love.” For our generation at least! They’ve been together for over 5 years, and have close to $170 million in the bank (combined), making them Hollywood’s richest couple! Much of their relationship is kept private, but their lives as celebrities, coupled with their fame and huge success as artists and entrepreneurs, makes it hard not to want to know more about them! We put them at the top of our list this time last year, but the only difference between then and now is that they are married. The two decided to tie the knot in a “private” ceremony in April 2008. And if you were around and living on planet earth, you definitely heard about it! After People.com announced that the two had taken out a marriage license in New York, the events that happened the weekend of April 4th 2008 were inevitable. After several black SUVs with heavily tinted windows were seen entering Jay-Z’s Manhattan apartment, in addition to the dozens of vans bringing in wedding decorations, we all knew what was going on.

Every paparazzo in the world set up shop outside of the apartment and snapped photos of Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s sister), Tina & Mathew Knowles (Beyonce’s parents), Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Irv Gotti, and more entering the apartment building’s ground-level garage. The list went on and on, but after seeing all of these people entering one place, we knew Beyonce and Jay-Z were DEFINITELY getting married. People.com actually confirmed it the next morning, and shortly after, we spotted the two wearing their wedding bands. These two getting married was definitely the talk of the blogosphere for the months to follow. And even though “Jayonce” never really confirmed their wedding, in several interviews that followed (Oprah, The Tyra Banks show, Essence Magazine, etc.) they were referred to as husband and wife, and neither contested it. But these two are the same people who never confirmed their initial relationship, so we’re definitely used to it!

Who else made the cut as GOT’s hottest couples of 2008? Continue reading to see!

Wait, wait, wait … we know we’re not going senile! Didn’t we just post about Jermaine Dupri making it known that Janet Jackson isn’t pregnant this morning? So what the hell is this all about? We hope this is just another tabloid being messy, but regardless we need answers. A press release, youtube video … something!

Jermaine Dupri wants us all to know that Janet Jackson is NOT pregnant! The Atlanta rapper spoke to Usmagazine.com exclusively, denouncing any and all rumors relating to a Janet Jackson pregnancy. He had a special message for blogger Perez Hilton.

“Does Perez know that lying destroys the credibility of a blogger?” Dupri quipped to Us on Sunday. Rumors began to swirl after Jackson canceled a string of tour dates in October due to a mystery illness. Still, that doesn’t mean Jackson and Dupri aren’t excited about starting a family in the future.

“I’d love to have children,” the singer has told Us. “It’s just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do.” Jackson also spoke about motherhood in an interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine. “Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen,” she revealed.

The internet is gonna go crazy when it finally happens! We’re prepared to live on our computers when they and the Carters decide to procreate.

Our favorite webishow, Living The Life, is back with footage from Janet Jackson’s Rock Witchu Tour at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

The 42-year-old singer is not choreographing any makeup dates for the seven “Rock Witchu” tour performances that were initially postponed because of her illness “due to conflicts in the singer’s schedule,” said a statement released by tour organizer Live Nation on Tuesday.

The canceled stops, originally scheduled Sept. 29 to Oct. 13, include: Montreal; Boston; Philadelphia; Greensboro, N.C.; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Uncasville, Conn.; and Syracuse, N.Y.

Jackson’s publicist previously said she had been suffering from migraine-associated vertigo, which led to her canceling the string of shows. She was being treated for the illness, which is characterized by dizziness, imbalance and other symptoms.

If you were one of those poor fans who just “lived in the wrong city at the wrong time” and missed out on the tour, click here to read Terrell’s review!

After two long weeks Jermaine Dupri has decided to bring back is his YouTube webisodes of his reality journal, Living The Life.

Take a look at the video above!

According to Janet Jackson’s rep, the 42-year-old entertainer is “feeling much better.” After weeks of speculation that the pop singer might be pregnant with JD’s child, the mystery illness that prohibited Janet from performing her shows has been revealed. People is reporting that she was suffering from vestibular migraines, an unusual condition that creates the sensation of vertigo.

“[Janet is] a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect,” manager Kenneth Crear said in the statement. “She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again.”

As we reported earlier this morning, Janet is set to return to the stage tonight in D.C., and Thursday’s show in Madison Square Garden (NYC) has been postponed to November 1st. All of the other postponed dates haven’t been worked out 100% yet, but her rep says that they will be announced shortly.

After canceling eight consecutive shows, it is rumored that pop diva Janet Jackson is scheduled to resume her Rock Witchu Tour tonight in Washington, D.C. But word on the sidewalk is that her show on Thursday (in NYC) has been postponed, so we’re not 100% sure what’s going on. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all pans out.

But regarldess, people need to lay off of her. The woman is 42 years old. It’s not like she’s canceling the mofos … she’s POSTPONING them! Anyway, our very own Terrell Johnson got a chance to experience the show live and in person, so click here to read his review.

Janet Jackson has left Island Def Jam Recording label, as confrimed by producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins from his recent vlog on Rap-Up.

There had been speculation that the youngest Jackson was having issues with the label, but we now have confirmation that she has been released from her contract. Janet signed to Island Def Jam in 2007 and released Discipline, her first album on the label, in February of this year. It debuted at No. 1, but sold less in its first week than Janet’s last two albums, 2006’s 20 Y.O. and 2004’s Damita Jo. Jerkins produced the album’s first single “Feedback” and follow-up “Luv.”

“We didn’t get the support from the record company,” he discloses. “[Janet] felt like it wasn’t pushed. I felt like it wasn’t pushed correctly. She just didn’t get her just due as an artist of that magnitude.”

Jerkins also shares his thoughts on Janet’s Rock Witchu Tour and looks to the future. “I could make an album with her, possibly me, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Keep it real simple. They focus on what they’re great at, I focus on what I’m great at. We come together and make a classic Janet record.”

Due to the faithful YouTubers and Janet fans who attended the concert in Vancouver posted videos and comments on how much they loved the seeing the show. Janet Jackson replies in video form! Check it out above.

(PHOTO: WIREIMAGE) A federal appeals court threw out the fine of $550,000 “indecency” fine to CBS for the 2004 halftime show at the Superbowl. As we all know and the rest of America, Janet Jackson performed then Justin Timberlake came out and at the end of the set Justin reached and grabbed for Janet’s costume and ripped apart of the wardrobe and exposing Janet’s breast. The reason that the courts decided not to fine because they felt that the FCC jumped so hard into trying to fine for high amounts of money before investigating the situation and they never notified the courts of such high amounts of money due to the viewer rate. I feel this has gone on for too long, 4 years to be exact, and I’m tired of it. I still dislike Justin Timberlake for this performance. And for him to bring this back up at the ESPYs upset me all over again. I’m glad CBS weren’t fined for this.
