I kept waiting for her to do an album of pure pop dance like Rhianna had done so successfully. Instead her music was so basic and cheap just like Beyonce is doing now.

The top 50 songs should only include her hits…some of those songs I don't even recognize…LOL….the list is average at best…some I agree and some I don't…..I don't think RN should be number 1….that wouldn't even make my top 10 of hers….

Has Janet Jackson secretly become a Muslim? Rumours that she has converted to the religion of her Qatari multi-millionaire husband

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4089276/Has-Janet-Jackson-secretly-Muslim-raunchy-star-baby-50-s-good-reason-believe-rumours-converted-religion-Qatari-multi-millionaire-husband.html

Even by the standards of one of pop music’s most enduring stars, it’s been an impressive new chart entry for Janet Jackson. Straight in at number one in the list of the world’s oldest first-time celebrity mothers, she has given birth aged 50.

Ending one of the most heavily scrutinised pregnancies in recent showbusiness history, the singer announced on Tuesday that she and her Qatari multi-millionaire businessman husband, Wissam Al Mana, had a son.

There were few details — there never are from one of planet celebrity’s most private stars — on a birth that has been subject of much speculation since March, when Jackson postponed her world tour so she and Al Mana could focus on starting a family.

Janet has recently reemerged promoting her music and a new tour. She went on "The View" to surprise Whoopi and the rest of the co-hosts and entire audience with tickets. She also showed up on Jimmy Fallon's late night show and did a very cool rendition of "Runaway" using classroom instruments. If you're a Janet fan this will put a smile on your face.

I've looked at a couple of appearances with her lately. (Including the one on Fallon). And she seems happy and as gracious as ever. She really is lovely and I'm glad to see she's happy.

The Janet/Justin Super Bowl debacle and Janet’s subsequent blacklisting are reportedly getting the “Framing Britney Spears” treatment. JT is probably bracing himself for another brutal reckoning (as well as Les Moonves, whose obsession with ruining Janet’s career will also be tackled in the doc).

Janet didn't really help her career either by releasing some truly awful albums in the 00's and then going on a near decade break from music to focus on crap Tyler Perry movies and marrying a rich Arab businessman for his fortune...

 

But what happened to her in the immediate fallout was both racist and sexist to the highest degree.

    • I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.

    • The Dallas finale was the highest-rated episode since October 9, 1987 (Gone with the Wind). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of Murder, She Wrote was October 23, 1987 (Tough Love). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of The Cosby Show was February 22, 1985 (Shattered Dreams).
    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
