Janet Jackson

Entertainment Tonight recently debuted the teaser trailer to Tyler Perry’s ‘Why Did I Get Married Too?’

Returning for the sequel are Janet Jackson, Tyler Perry, Jill Scott, Malik Yoba, Sharon Leal, Tasha Smith, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker and Richard T. Jones.

Gathered together in the Bahamas for their annual one-week reunion, four close couples eagerly reconnect, sharing news about their lives and relationships. But their intimate week in paradise is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Mike (Jones), who has crashed the vacation in hopes of winning back his ex-wife, Sheila (Scott).

The others soon realize they, too, are not immune to the challenges of commitment and fidelity. Angela (Smith) doesn’t believe her husband, Marcus (White), can be faithful now that he’s a celebrity television newscaster. The relationship between Dianne (Leal) and Terry (Perry) is feeling the strain of raising children. And Patricia (Jackson), a successful self-help psychologist, must finally reveal the deep flaws in her seemingly perfect marriage to Gavin (Yoba). With their relationships hanging in the balance when they return home, each couple must choose between blame and forgiveness and doubt and faith, with life-altering consequences.

Released in the 2007, the first film grossed more than $55 million and is the highest non-Madea film that Perry has written, directed and produced.

The sequel will be released April 2, 2010.

She’s the woman who inspired the term ‘wardrobe malfunction’ after she spilled out of her costume in front of 90 million viewers at the 2004 Superbowl.

And yesterday Janet Jackson had yet another fashion disaster, albeit of a decidedly less racy nature.

The singer stepped out in Los Angles looking just like the famously frumpy lead character from the hit U.S. series Ugly Betty.

She was almost unrecognisable in thick reading glasses and shapeless top that was about as flattering as Miss Suarez’s trademark Guadalajara poncho. Continue

Janet Jackson has been hospitalized, a rep said Monday.

The singer “got suddenly ill during the sound check” before her concert in Montreal and had to be rushed to the hospital, according to a statement released by W&W Public Relations.

Jackson, 42, is being monitored at the hospital, and hopes to reschedule the show.

No further information was given about Jackson’s condition.

And let’s hope this is the last we hear of a certain wardrobe malfunction.

The long-running legal saga involving the escape of Janet Jackson’s right breast during the halftime show of the 2004 Super Bowl has apparently come to an end as a federal appeals court today tossed out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp.

In its ruling, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” when it issued the pricey penalty against the network for the boob slippage.

For those who’ve enjoyed the underside of their rock for the past four years, the brouhaha began when 90 million viewer were treated to a glance of the “Nasty” singer’s goods during a duet with Justin Timberlake.

While crooning, “Gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” Timberlake yanked off Jackson’s bustier, revealing her strategically placed nipple shield in what became a made-for-TiVo moment.

The move upset several conservative watchdogs, including the powerful Parents Television Council, which lobbied the FCC and demanded a big fine—even though broadcaster CBS, Jackson and Timberlake said the incident was accidental, with Timberlake famously referring to it as a “wardrobe malfunction.”

But the FCC wasn’t buying it and slapped the network and its affiliates with the monster fine.

But in today’s decision, the three-judge appellate panel ruled that the FCC had overreacted and ignored its 30-year practice of only fining for indecent programming that is “pervasive as to amount to ‘shock treatment’ for the audience.” Nipplegate didn’t fit the bill, the justice’s ruled.

“Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing,” the court said. “But it cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure.”

The panel also said CBS shouldn’t be held financially accountable for the singers’ actions because they weren’t network staffers. “The FCC cannot impose liability on CBS for the acts of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, independent contractors hired for the limited purposes of the halftime show.”

Following the ruling, CBS said it hoped the FCC would “return to the policy of restrained indecency enforcement it followed for decades.”

“This is an important win for the entire broadcasting industry because it recognizes that there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material, despite best efforts,” the network said.

No immediate comment from the FCC, Jackson or Timberlake—but the Parents Television Council was predictably infuriated.

“Once again, a three-judge panel has hijacked the will of the American people,” said Tim Winter, president of the PTC. “While we are not surprised that the legal venue hand-picked by CBS would rule in favor of the network, the court’s opinion goes beyond judicial activism; it borders on judicial stupidity.

“If a striptease during the Super Bowl in front of 90 million people— including millions of children—doesn’t fit the parameters of broadcast indecency, then what does?”

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri get cozy in the front row of the Dior haute couture runway show Monday. Dupri recently said he and the singer are thinking about having a baby after Jackson finishes her fall concert tour.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri were pictured at the Versace fashion show in Milan,Italy this past weekend.Janet called into Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show on Monday where she did an interview to discuss her new MTV reality show and 2008’s Rock Witchu Tour.
You can listen to it after the jump.

Janet Jackson is so busy prepping for her upcoming Rock With U World Tour, she must have forgotten her plan to have a baby with longtime boyfriend Jermaine Dupri following said tour. Or maybe she was never clued in to the pregnancy plot?

“So, Jermaine…said that you guys may be ready for baby. Is that true?” Ryan Seacrest probed this morning on his KIIS-FM morning show.

A stunned-sounding Janet replied, “When did he say that?”

Unraveling the big secret even more…

Ryan told Janet that when asked by People magazine this weekend, “Are you imminently ready for baby?” Jackson’s potential baby daddy said, “Yeah, soon. Right after the tour.”

“I guess he is,” Janet acknowledged, laughing.

No word on whether Janet is agreeing to take part in these rumored baby-making plans, but we have a feeling her man is going to be getting an earful tonight—and not the kind that involves hip-hop beats.
