Janet Jackson's Weight Loss
(Bigger pictures in the gallery!) Janet Jackson, newly svelte after losing 60 pounds, says she gained weight for a role in the upcoming movie "Tennessee," which she ultimately had to pass on because of her new album. "They (the producers) wanted to see me in a different light, as a heavier woman," the 40-year-old singer, who weighed about 180 pounds at her heaviest, tells Us magazine in an issue on newsstands Friday."The timing didn't quite work with trying to finish my album, and unfortunately I wasn't able to do the film. (The role went to Mariah Carey) So I found myself having to take this weight off a lot quicker than I had planned." Jackson says she packed on the pounds by eating whatever she wanted."`Ooh, that looks good, give me that whole slice of cake!' That was the fun part," she says. "(Eventually) I would look in the mirror and I wouldn't recognize myself."
The 5-foot-4-inch Jackson says she got back into shape in four months by eating "nice, balanced meals" and working out with a trainer. Her longtime boyfriend, music producer Jermaine Dupri, was a motivation. "I've never had someone love me for me, so unconditionally, the way he does, regardless of my size," she says. "He was never any different toward me."
When asked about reaction to her plus-size body, Jackson says, "People didn't treat me differently to my face, but I'm sure they had their whispers behind my back. But I didn't feel bad about myself at all. It was part of my job."
Her latest album, "20 Years Old," is slated for release Sept. 26.
"I feel good," she says. "It wasn't until I saw a picture of myself, just recently, actually, that I thought, `Wow, you really did lose a lot of weight!'" She adds: "For now, it's just nice for me to get back down to where I feel more comfortable with me." [AP]

I dont think anyone hates Janet, she just needs to stop LYING.
yep she did loose some. but if it wasnt for surgery and airbrush and damn good make up artists and hair dresser. she WOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THAT.
AMERICA WAKE UP AND STOP BELIEVING THE LIES!!
Okay. I am sure that the photos have some kind of enhancements....hell all magazines enhance photos. But you cannot air brush away 60 lbs. I am a graphic artist and I know this for a fact. So what if her photos were air brushed, every model and celebrity in most if not all magazines are airbrushed....some more than others. And yes she has a hair stylist and makeup artist ...SO WHAT! She is an entertainer....she is wealthy and she can afford all of the personal training, personal chefs and whatever else she needs to look fabulous. There is nothing wrong with that! I say more power to Miss Janet. I hope that I can look that fabulous when I turn 40. Janet has all the time & money in the world to work out and do what is needed to keep herself looking good. So people need to stop speculating about how she did it. If you have money for personal trainers and chefs etc. and nothing but time to work out....it can be done! So for all the people HATING on the woman, cut it out.....and maybe if people spent more time worrying about themselves and less time worrying about how Miss Janet is handling her business, then maybe they could lose a few pounds for themselves. Janet Jackson is not perfect. I am sure when she takes off the make up and glam she is just like anybody else...the difference is that she has the means to make herself look as good as possible, and so why hate on someone because they have the means to do these things. I say Janet you go girl and I cannot wait until her album drops. She is inspiring me to get my butt on a treadmill...now I won't ever look like that, but hey I'll be a few pounds lighter. So people stop hating and start imitating!
WoW great job janeth!! Magic pills don't exist, lipo can't take all that weight off , and airbrush? common people i've seen paparazzi pictures and she looks as great as magazzine pictures. IT's all down to eating right and exercising. A lot of sacrifices ... I've been there it is really hard at first, but when you are in track you get used to it, and seeing results gives you the strenght to continue, =.) impossible is nothing

Liposuction will NOT do all that for you! Come on people get educated about what medicine can and CANNOT do!
If lipo could fix being fat...everyone would be thin!
