Not seen on the big screen since 2000, Janet Jackson is said to be starring in the new Tyler Perry flick, Why Did I Get Married.
Ok, that's a good look for Tyler who just recently opened his own studios in Atlanta. But I don't know why I see this as Nutty Professor Re-Duex. Janet starring opposite a comedian who likes dressing in drag. Hmmm, sounds familiar.
Janet 'gained' an enormous amount of weight for the film Tennessee but opted out due to scheduling conflicts. That role has since been filled by Mariah Carey, who claims to know nothing about a weight gain requirement for the part.
I don't know... I ain't for this. I prefer Janet to just boom boom kat.
Career over.... fade to black.

Janet still got it!!!
MRMUSICPRODUCER.COM
"The Most Versatile Producer In The Game"
Last album flopped, she looks like michael in the face which is scary and gross at the same time. I have respect for what Janet was / is, but Michael killed it for every Jackson, period.
Game Over, go pop out some midget babies.
1 hunned.
So is she going to tour or not?
Career Over...fade to black?
Please, as long as Ciara looka like a man and Beyonce chicken clucks on stage, there will always be room Ms. jackson.
go Janet, this is a good move for her and I'm happy for her, and what you mean career over talk about a hating nigga, damn I forgot you like fergie and justin and nelly f, no surprise coming from you, go ahead Janet do the damn thang.
jANET IS HE BEST MUCH LUCK WITH THE MOVIE , CANT WAIT TO SEE IT , EVEN IF HER LAST 2 ALBUMS DIDNT SELL AS WELL AS EXPECTED THEY WERE STILL GOOD ALBUMS ..KEEP ROCKIN J
WHATEVER.
It kills me when you get these late folk on here who have to find something neg to say about people, if you can't say anything nice, Shut the FUK up!!! P.S. where is your movie or record contract, oh yeah, you have none.
LOL@ SAYIN JANETS CAREER IS OVER. ONE THING YALL FOR GOT JANET IS A FIGHTER. AND HER ALBUMS DOES GOOD WHEN SHES MORE EDGY AND MEAN LIKE. AND FROM WHAT I HEAR SHE WANNA MAKE A VELVET ROPE PT.2 SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU. AND UNLIKE BEYONCE JANET CAN REALLY ACT A REAL ROLE.BUT DA TOUR IS JUST POSTPONE SHE WILL HAVE A NEW ALBUM,TOUR AND PLUS THIS MOVIE. SO FUCK YOU HATERS THATS LOVING THE WHITE PEOPLE AND NOT SUPPORTING YOUR BLACK PEOPLE. AND MJ HAS NTH 2 DO WITH JANET EXPECT BEING HER BIG BROTHER. SO LETS NOT DO DA WHOLE JACKSON BS. GET SOME NEW SHIT TO SAY. ANYWAY. JANET DO UR THING AND I HEARD JILL SCOTT AND OL GURL FROM DREAMGIRLS WILL BE IN DA MOVIE ALSO.
I agree SEAN2006.. janet has a star on hollywood, She got the key to the city in LosAngeles, she sells out her concert dates in EVERY state. And she works her azz off on the stage for 2 hours straight, are there others who can do that?? ... ok still wait on an anwser. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of others that do the damn thang on the stage, but don't knock the one who started it and is still doing it at 40. FF@F...Fucking Fabulous @ Forty. Janet, do the dang thang!
Soulmann always miss the mark when it comes to Janet. He's so into the white washed talent that he don't reconize an icon/legend when he see one. Janet will be fine and her career is fine...He keeps forgetting she has nothing to prove. Everyone else is trying to break records she made years ago.
Janet just needed better promotion. Her last album might have flopped big time by her standrds (its ONLY just gone pat) but who knows maybe with new management she'll be back at the top as far as current music is concerned
but her status as an icon & trend setter is sealed
tho she does look a bit like some shit from Tales from the crypt....not a good look
I don't miss the mark when it comes to Janet. I bring out all her supporters. There is a method to my madness.
Co fucking sign SJ, sean2006, and josephjames, Janet has done things that these younger entertainers are still trying to do.
.... everyone is hating on her, why? Just like Looking at Billboard certification list.
I see that Miss Janet's 20 Y.O. has been certified Platinum on 11/13/06.
Ludacris has been certified Gold on 11/8.
SO Please explain HOW Ludacris out sold her during the first two weeks?
What amazes me, is that What Janet (& MICHAEL) and the entire Jackson family has endured the many years of trials and remain together....NOBODY SHAVIN THEIR HEADS...ABANDONING THEIR KIDS....NOBODY CHECKIN IN AND OUTTA REHAB...and even Michael, as many times as they have raked him over the coals, HE ALWAYS CAME OUT ON TOP... Why is it that Janet can take one song ("So Excited") and work the HELL outta it with something new EVERY time???
Jan, if you read this, Ive always said, and will always say, that You are a supreme legend...not just because of what you do ON stage, but your grace and strength OFFstage...Let 'em hate, baby... you're still flawless!
AMEN!!! to my Big Brother Christopher Tate..... (BlackCat) all the lonely nights, i spend alone... give it to them janet
Lol @ soulman, you know you are wrong for talking negative about ms. Jackson. I am not even going to get involved this time. You know Janet fans are...good thing they don't know who you are.....lol
Janet is and will always be the truth!!!!
Janet's career isn't over so I am not sure why people would say that but to each his/her own observation......anyway, janet has nothing to prove to anyone, if her career was over, why did "damita jo" go platnium worldwide????.....just because "20 YRS OLD" didn't far well (I personally love the album) dosen't mean she should think about retiring....janet is one of the best performers in the world, her concerts sell out and what other performer (besides tina turner) work their ass off on stage for 2 hours straight and the crowd leaves entertained???????......
Hey BARBARAA.JACKSON, scroll up... Janet's 20 Y.O. has been certified Platinum on 11/13/06, they just player hating.
Janets cd did well considering she had no support from the label Virgin, she will be fine once she signs to a new label, shit her cd was one of the best of 2006 and that's real, I'm still have it rotation.
You need to quit SoulMan lol, you know janet started as an actress. The career definitely isn't over, she is just venturing into acting again. Best believe when she's on a new label, the next album will be banging and she will make her combacke. Remember, Mariah had 2 lackluster albums before she dropped the Emancipation of Mimi. So don't get it twisted y'all, my girl Janet will be back.
SHE DIDNT NAME HER ALBUM 20 Y.O FOR NTH.LOL. NI99A DATS A STATEMENT.LOL.
Soulman's Top 3 Artist you will never read about him bashing on SOHH.com
1. Justin Timberlake
2. Beyonce Knowles
3. Mariah Carey
Soulman's Top 3 Artist you will ALWAYS read him bashing on SOHH.com:
1. Janet Jackson
2. Kelly Rowland
3. Fantasia
It's that simple.
I was really excited when I read the headline... then Soulman had to go and ruin it for me. I honestly can't wait for this movie... and Miss Jackson's career is far from over. There ain't nobody like Janet!
This Soulman is one hatin' ass nigga. If the female ain't Beyonce then, he's hatin'. Nigga just go to a Beyonce shrine, worship, he stfu about Janet (somebody you obviously know nothing about cuz you're to busy w/ your head up Beyonce's ass).
"I don't miss the mark when it comes to Janet. I bring out all her supporters. There is a method to my madness".
Huh?
So whatchu sayin? You're saying this shit to deliberately get the fans pissy in order for them to argue w/ you? lol Grow up, dude. lol
And, lmao @ 0731
Christopher, you took the words right outta my mouth but, this nigga Soulmam is probably a Britney Spears fan anyhow so, ain't no getitn' through to him. That stupid nigga.
stfu y'all the haters in hear not soulman
soulman gives fair & equal treatment to most artiists:he's bashed beyonce many a time for swagger jacking janet & he's praised janet for being a trendsetter
if you stanets don't like the blog the fuck the hell off
although he does need to step his game up a bit...
^^^^^WE AINT GOTTA DO SHIT. WATCH URSELF.LOL. IF U GON MAKE A BLOG ABOUT SOMEBODY DEN HATE ON THEM IS SO FUCKIN BOOSIE MY NI99A BE REAL. AINT NOBODY HATIN ON DAT NI99A. SO GET OFF HIS NUTZ DUDE. MAN ANYWAY JANET DOIN HER AND SO BEYONCE BOTH GURLS R. BUT JANET IS DA ORIGNAL. SOME OF YALL BE IN YALL FEELINS 2 FUCKIN MUCH FOR ME.
JANET DO UR THANG BABYGURL. IM OUT.
Man, y'all better sit down.
All everyone did is talk about how great Janet use to be. She is a legend this,. and a legend that.
Yea she is a legend. BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD LOOK.
WHYYYYYYYY!!!! Janet Jackson!!!!! man, ima just stop going to see movies all together!!!!
@Soulman
Why should we sit down now?...You did say you wanted her supporters to come out right? You really crack me up I'm wondering... Are you for real??? Cause you come across so fake when it comes to this R&B stuff.
Janet is a musical icon!
No she's not the best singer and she may not ever be number one again on the billboard chart but her name is already etched in "Black Music" as well as in "POP"...
I love Bey but Janet's coming out musically with "what have u done 4 me lately...CONTROL"
is the foundation for Beyonce, J-Lo, Ciara, Brittney Spears, Christina and the like!
She opened the door wide shut in the area of POP for women both Black and white 2 do the damn thing!
Fade 2 Black...I think not!
U better work Ms. Jackson!
Her 15 minutes are far from up!

How is not a good look? You sound so fuckin stupid for saying that...From what I hear medea isn't even in this movie.. So it's not another nutty, and if she/he was.. so what...
Rumor has it Michael, Janet and The Jackson 5 will be touring together.
Awww..shit!
THE JACKSONS ABOUT TO FUCK IT UP!
ok I'm really confused here, all of sudden when we're talking about Janet, ya'll get all black righteous on a brotha, but yet in the same breath spit venom on Beyonce', like she's a white women or something other than black. Yes, Janet has blazed a trail for many up and coming female singers, but so has Whitney, and Diana Ross, but I guarantee you all have said some negative things about Whitney, and she has definitely blazed a trail for many a new female singers. Why can't we support all our black female artists, like the way you guys are supporting Janet, we should support Beyonce', Ciara, Mary J Blige, and all the rest of them, the same damn way.
well i would curse sohh man out for downing janet but looks like about 50 people beat me too it so i'll just co-sign with my fellow janet fans,
sohh man get a life man, or worman whatever u are, don't hate on janet , she is and will always be the BEST
u may say jj career is ova but If that movie reaches #1 or gross alot we'll see whos careers ova then
whoever u are sohh stop frontin cuz u know u was all saying nice things about jj b4 20 y.o came out now after than u wanna bash her gosh I can't stand fake people!
btw sohh jj makes more money than u anyway (I know I never seen ur checks etc but I know that for a fact jack!) so since u say jj career is ova at least jj dosn't have to struggle cuz shes set for the rest of her life regardless.. :p
-words from a true fan who knows more about jj than a pointlessjackson h8ter/ judger from the united startes of america.
I feel you BOYPLEASE!... I live Janet, but i also like Diana, Beyonce, Ciara, Mary,(missing Aaliyah) Whitney. I'm praying Whitney will make a great come back the way she was in BodyGuard or better... They all have talent, either you support them and buy their CD or you don't, but who are we to judge or say anyone's career is over?
Tyler Perry is a hustler...his plays/movies are crack rock to black women. They all gotta have it! His movies pull in alot of money and cost very little to make (he got his own studio, remember!). This movie starring Janet Jackson is gonna put Tyler Perry over the top. Oprah-status!
First off, if people who are hatin' on Janet would do their research they would see that this movie does not involve Madea at all. Check.
Secondly, we all saw where Janet landed on the Forbes list of richest women in the entertainment industry. Like a net worth of $150m? Check.
Thirdly, we all know by now where Jermaine Dupri has landed his new job...Island Def Jam. Hmm? Let's see. Janet's Boo goes there, her contract is up at Virgin, who did her wrong anyway, so I wonder where Janet will sign her next contract? Uh huh yeah. Hot rumor is that she is going to release a greatest hits album before summer and then drop a new album by the end of the year on her new label. Rumor even goes so far as to say that she will return to her "bitter/angry/tough" style of material that she was best known for (and sold better with) before she went all Sexual 101 on us. She is already planning her music so that it adequately conveys all the stuff peeps have put her through for no reason. She is mad as hello but you would never tell when you see her interviewed somewhere. That's called class. She can remain above the fray and then let that next album drop and watch as the dollars drop in her lap while she tears people to pieces but even still in a way that will have people up in the club going crazy! Check.
SO...Janet ain't doin' no fade to black because she don't have to. Retire? Why? There isn't a single female artist out there currently who poses no threat to Miss Jackson and her achievements. Plus, she is 40 years old, soon to be 41, and with her bangin' body and energy, line her up with Ciara, Amerie, Beyonce, etc. and she looks no older than any of them and even looks hotter IMO. Bonus Check.
CWORLD78 well you go ahead then...ya said it all...:-)
CWORLD78 well you go ahead then...ya said it all...:-)
please ho. Janet just completed the largest record contract in history and is currently shopping offers from various record companies while she stars in a new movie. Saying her career is over is a reach. Actually its down right ridiculous considering all the chicks that are supposedly hot right now are her clones. NEXT!
I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE SOHH, BUT YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT TO THINK THAT A LEGEND, AND ICON'S CAREER IS OVER, GET A LIFE, PUT JANET'S ACHIEVMENT UP AGAINST THOSE CLONES, LIKE BEYONCE, CIARA AND ETC, JANET' 'S IS MORE LIKE 50 PAGES WHILE THEIRS ARE ONE PAGE, JANET HAS BEEN AWARDED THIS YEAR WITH LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS. THE MOVIE IS GOING TO BE A HIT FOR JANET JACKSON THE BEST POP DIVA THERE IS LIVING!! TAKE THAT YOU PUNK!!
