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.
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.
Actor Josh Duhamel and actor/singer Tyrese Gibson were spotted clowning around as they took pics at the photocall for their new movie, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” at the Villa Magna hotel early Friday (Jun 12) in Madrid, Spain.
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. CONTINUE READING
It’s been a while since we’ve seen these two out and about together! Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri, were spotted out and about walking the streets of Manhattan, NYC Wednesday evening. The two were spotted as they left The Waverly Inn. Continue reading for the rest of the photos.
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. I know almost 8 dates were cancelled but the show was truly amazing and I feel sorry for those who weren’t able to attend. You can check out the review here on the site. Check out the video above.
