Janet Jackson Archives

Janet Jackson is taking the cover of Harper’s Bazaar January 2007 in a swimsuit… for winter. Bazaar (Singapore edition) gets the skinny on her life, her love, and that killer body. Keep in mind that this cover definitely looks like a mock-up, so this may not be the final version…

I don’t know who’s dressing poor Janet Jackson these days but gosh, she looked horrible last night in her red carpet and performance outfits. What’s with the Village Of The Damned bangs? Or the suit as a dress? The cuffs?? Not flattering. At all.

Janet performed a medley of “Pleasure Principle” and “So Excited” in the aforementioned (and very unfortunate) wig. The choreo was hot. The dancing was hot. But did anyone notice the possibly drawn on abs? Did Janet pull a Mariah Carey or what? Watch the video of her performance below!

The 2006 Billboard Music Awards Show was held last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It’s the day of the 2006 Billboard Music Awards and FOX still has not announced a host for the awards show. WILL THERE EVEN BE ONE? The Billboards will go on as scheduled and air live tonight on FOX. Pictures include last night’s rehearsals from Janet Jackson, Ludacris, and Pharrell. (Janet’s wearing a black “Jackson Five” tee and “Triple Threat” sweatpants.)

POLL :: If you weren’t going to watch the Billboards anyway, does not knowing who’s hosting make you want to tune in? At least a little bit since Britney and Paris are out of the running? Or are they?
