Brown Sista

Singer Janet Jackson, who is about to turn 42 years old this month, was spotted out in Hollywood last night with boyfriend Jermaine Dupri. Earlier in the day Janet had given her first performance since falling ill back in March at the United America Concert which was held at the Del Mar Beach. The free concert, in support of our troops, also featured performances by Jordin Sparks, Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg and a host of other artists. Not much is known about this concert and few if any people outside of army folk in California knew about it. However, the word on Janet forums is that it was taped by NBC and will air on June 1st.

After receiving the Vanguard Award from GLAAD, singer Janet Jackson went out for sushi at Katsuya and almost tripped over her big platform shoes while leaving the restaurant.

So what’s new with singer-actress Janet Jackson these days? Not much it seems. After coming down with bronchitis a few weeks ago, Janet seems to keeping a somewhat low profile. Janet did appear at the 2008 Kids Choice Awards last week but said she would still be taking it easy for the next few weeks. Janet laying low however does not mean her name is completely out of the headlines. Whitney’s Houston ex-husband, Bobby Brown, is coming out with a new tell all and mentions none other than Miss Jackson herself. Bobby claims in his tell all “Being Bobby Brown: The Truth and Nothing But …” that during the mid 80’s he and Janet were an item but broke up because her parents didn’t want her with a Black man. Bobby goes on to claim that the break up with Janet led him to hit the bottle- hard.

Singer Janet Jackson graces the April 2008 edition of BlackBook Magazine- and what a stunning cover it is. Janet is pictured all caged up in a Mathew Rolston photo shoot that is not only provocative, but a little bit scary. I love the cover- but one has to wonder what Mathew was thinking of when he had Janet don that head gear for the second pic.
