Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson were spotted leaving the CNN studios in Los Angeles after Janet’s interview with Larry King on Thursday. They look good together, I don’t care what anyone says.
In related news, Janet reveled that she would be the opening act for a Jackson Five reunion tour if they do go ahead with doing one during the Larry King taping. She also said that she has regular conference calls with her brothers and hopes the reunion will happen soon.



















God I wish she would hire me as her stylist.
Is it me or has JD been putting some kinda S-curl texturizer in his beard. that ish is way too silk.smh
j.d. looking better with all that hair, who the hell is that on his shirt?….janet looks good like always.
Yeah michael really needs the money but who wants to see the jackson 5
janet looks good
They both look a MESS in my book! Janet’s face looks horrible!
Damn it I missed her last night. Lol at 1 ur are so rite. Her and JD look nice together not so odd anymore.
I watched the interview. I am not sure if Larry King was prepared but her others interviews this week were much better. Check out Janet today on Ellen. And the more I listen to Discipline the more I love it. Janet is Fire.
the one has spoken now shut the back door…its Friday damn it!
@5 your lack of confidence in yourself makes you judge others, you would hope to have a body and face like that when you are 41. And JD is a grown man who has evolved like Jay -Z. Having a strong black woman by your side does those type of things…Go J all day!
janet needs a new stylist. i luv jds look, he looks his age but fly with it.
LMHO AT 8. I SO AGREE
Janet is a beautiful woman. I not really feeling the color of her hair but I know it will grow on me. I wish her well with this new cd. I need for her to come to the Garden…..
Now this is my favorite couple. JJ and JD are a good fit, i think they really love each other despite being slighty mismatched on the face of their relationship. I wish my relationships weren’t all based on the physical; sorry, i’m not that deep yet. P.S. JJ, love the cd, thanks so much for prevailing through all the hate and ignorance and mostly disrespect…I know it must run through your mind, damn, what the fuck did i do to people for them to talk bullshit the way they do. Sorry, sweetie, your only sin was being born black into a ignorant ass race who so quickly toss aside all the contributions those who came before has accomplished and contributed to our race. Unfortunately Madonna will still be performing into her 60′s because white people revere their icons, and they will never tell her to sit down as long as she can still move; because they love, adore, and respect their iconic figures; WE DONT….we are quick to tell someone we don’t love you anymore sit down, here comes a 20 year old.
JD’s good for her. I’m happy she’s finally found a good guy. I love Janet. She’s the tops no doubt. I love her hair.
@ 12. I disagree. White people clown their icons all the time. Do you read these mainstream entertainment blogs? I’m so sick of hearing that black people always downgrade our own while white people don’t do the same. That’s some BS! Everyone does it. But, I guess we all have our opinions.
I love these 2 as a couple. Janet is looking good for a her age.
The Jackson’s are a strange bunch but I’d still love to see them in concert.
@14 Angel
Sorry, but i respectfully fuckin disagree…..I never said white people dont say anything negative about their icons; i said they continually support theirs, and how do i know this? (Madonna – Cher) damn cd sells and concert ticket sells are off the fuckin hook, and it aint because black people are supporting them. I have a ton of friends who even though they weren’t born in her generation, and are alot younger, worship Madonna and Cher, and they always citing what they have done.
But if you read this blog, you’ll see people come on here on a regular saying, she (Janet) use to be the shit, but she needs to sit down…WTF! That should never be said, its fuckin disrepectful to say that to her when she paved the way for so many…don’t her past contributions count for anything? And so what you not feeling this cd, damn, can’t you support her anyway for continually trying to represent us. I’m respect her ass until they put Ma in the ground! I don’t care what others do. And it’s not just her, there are alot more black celebrities we are quick to be dismissive with, forgetting everything they have done in the past, like the shit never happened.
Frankly, i do not believe Madonna or Cher are anymore talented and creative than Janet, however, they are still on top, and will remain their for the support of their fans. It’s my theory on this.
Ask yourself, why is Madonna the highest grossing Pop singer? There’s not alot of teens running out buying her cd’s, so whose doing it? My guess is because her fans are keeping her up there by her concert tickets and cd sells. At the end of the day, that’s what it boils down to.
Does JD shirt have a pic of Mariah on it?
Back to the picture..
I love JD’s new look with the beard.. looks good on him.
JD lookin like a shorter Fidel Castro
i like men with beards… J.D looks cute (personal opinion) but he come up to my knees, i’m sure
I know that’s right JSCENE! You tell dem bytches!!! LMAO Btw, did you go to any of the Janet events??
Anywayz, Janet’s THAT BITCH. Point blank. Enough said. And Discipline is the shit, go cop that! lmao
#1 lol I agree she needs to hire somebody cuz she lookin a lik whack and that hair sorry Janet try again
whats up with JD wearing Britney and Paris on his shirts?
They look nice. Janet’s album is hot!!!
I hope Janet does well but I am not feeling this new CD maybe I need to hear another single is there a place Online where I could hear snippetts ?
@luvsit
Nope, didn’t make it to none of the events, but i watched her GMA and TRL performances, and the day her cd was released i bought 3 copies, 1 for me, 1 for my sister, and 1 for my best friend. It was money well spent. We absolutely love the cd; it’s better than 20YR and Damita Jo! To me, it’s up there with Rhythm Nation as far as creativity goes.
My sister bought Two Erykah Badu cd’s….and she gave me one. I’m trying to get use to some of the songs, of course i love “honey.” The rest will have to grow on me a bit, but it’s not a bad cd at all.
Next week, i’m going to buy Cheri Dennis cause i feel her voice is cute enough to give her a chance, even though i don’t know one damn song she sings.
@Dame
That is NOT Mariah on his shirt. I believe it’s Kate Moss…not 100% sure, but definitely not Mariah. Although she has a pic or two or 100 with that same pose.
@25
Lisa you can go over to youtube.com and put in janet jackson / discipline and you’ll see a post with all the songs off the cd.
i really like jd’s beard. it’s so healthy and moisterized
Janet 4EVER!!!!! jscene you freaking rock!! I was about to snap off but you took care of it for me. Blast on those haters!
The facial hair really suits JD.
I haven’t been feeling Janet’s hair or make-up recently, but her new music is hot. I’m glad she was able to come back after that last flop.
JD is looking better as he ages! I’m diggin the full beard and mustache. Love Janet’s hair! They both look nice!
I watched Janet on LK last night and it was borrrriiiiiinnnggggg. LK is such a snooze. Anywho. They are a great couple. It’s nice to know that Janet has found someone who loves her for who she is, and not just because she’s Janet Jackson. JD looks like the faithful type. It’s no wonder that Janet doesn’t want to jinx anything by getting married. They’ve been together almost just as long as Janet was married to Rene Elizondo for 9 years.
Maybe it’s best that they shouldn’t…
@14
So just because “they” do it. It’s ok for us to do the same. It’s one thing to say you don’t like someones music but to say someones face looks horrible (when it obviously does not) is just insane
I’ve never posted a comment here before b/c I usually don’t have much to add and I don’t want to create any negativity.
But some of these comments are reaching Ann Coulter heights. People saying things just that are so mean-spirited and off the wall.
@16 JCSENE Wow. Your point was extremely relevant because Janet IS an icon. Its too bad MTV bashed her, local networks bashed her, and we bashed her. This women is an icon. Janet is the s***. All the Brittanys, Nicoles, Beyonces, Ciaras are all copycats of Janet’s moves.Janet was the inventor of dancing and singing with the mic attached to her face and dancing. She paved the way for the cross over appeal. Because back in the 1980′s 1986 to be exact. There were NO cross over Black performers. Blacks appealed to their R and B and Whites listened to rock. Janet definitely had the cross over appeal that could get all races to listened to her. Her first album was the Control album, which hallmarked the crossover. We need to be respectful of this women. It really made me upset that Kia (Well back and my neck CD) would come out her face and say something like that previous YOU Tube video about Janet. I hope she is blackballed in the industry so she never could work again…
I have went to her shows and taken my girls. They were in awe to see such a wonderful colorful performance…
@34 I agree
I like Janet and JD together. They look and seem happy together and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. I also like JD with the beard, it suits him well.
Janet will ALWAYS be THE Janet, no matter what! She can do no wrong in my book. BTW, I heard the CD was really good..I will be picking up me a copy!
@ B thanks I wasn’t sure I am not trying to start a rumor IF it was was Mariah I was thinking what a genius marketing plan.
I know JD and JJ love each other.
Some of you are WAAAYYY too attached to these celebrities.
They look good together!!!! I bet Jermaine be tearin’ that ass up!!! lol
I completely agree with #16. I’d just add that the beauty or luxury that many white pop stars have is their fan base identify with them on a level that transcends hipness and “now” and allows them to carry that base as … well, as Everyone gets older and, they mutually benefit.
Blacks unfortunately have a detrimental hip and now complex which relegates many of our talents to an untimely departure from the stage – though some deservedly.
Sorry Angel,
but this is incorrect.
Janet DID NOT say she was going to the opening act of a Jackson family tour. She said if they decided to do one; she would love to be the opening act, but Michael does not want to do it.
Janet & JD make a great couple
I agree with the fact that white people do support their whte artist no matter what’s the age. Rolling Stones and Paul McCarthy sells out all the time and they are in their 70′s. I don’t see an issue with an artist WORKING. She is working and she don’t give you half ass concerts when she performs. No not Janet. Hell they are still buying Elvis shit and he’s dead. We are so quick to dismiss our talent when they reach a certain age and that I hav found to be very stupid. If you look at it these MOST of these younger artist don’t want to put in a full days work. Janet may not be the BEST SINGER, BUT SHE CAN STILL DANCE HER BUTT OFF. She is a great perfomer. I have seen her in concet twice and the only disappointment I had is when she was grinding that dude on the table. I thought that she was too big (AS IN ICON) to have to do that. You will get your money worth when you see Janet. Why should she retire? She is not taking NO ONE’S elseMONEY or shine away. When people buy her cd they are a fan of her for real. I will buy Janet but I have not brought Rhianna. But to each its own. Music is universal and it gives you a variety of choices. So if she is still doing it let her do it. I am getting the cd and when she goes on tour by herself I will see her. She work and works very hard.
Lord, JD done found a picture of Britney from her country ass crystal meth days and put it on a shirt! Black folk know they’ll tell somebody’s damn BUSINESS!!
I think it’s funny (cute) how Janet will look every bit her age when she’s unhappy or concentrating (bottom left photo), but instantly look like a kid again when she smiles (bottom center). Reminds me of my mom, awwwww.
Janet and JD love them! Janet looks great @ 41 yrs which is how she is supposed to look!
We all must age someday. I do have to say Janet’s body is way better then a lot of young and old average people. Her style of dress is Janet and has been Janet since she stepped out on her own.
She seems a lot more confident and outspoken since she has been with JD.
Karma lives..
@lisa
How can you NOT be feeling the cd if you haven’t hear it yet?
Tell me how that makes sense
WHAT IS UP W/JD ALWAYS ROCKING TEE SHIRTS W/WHITE BROADS ON THE FRONT. FIRST IT WAS THAT RACIST SKANK PARIS HILTON AND NOW COKE HEAD KATE MOSS. THAT IS SO WACK!
>> look at jermaine he look so good like rugged cwit that hair
@JScene Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil lol 1 So right!
@ JScene
Its sickening. It is also indicative of mental disorder. A self hatred so complete that a person feels compelled to hate others who even remotely resemble themselves. I’m 34 and this year is the first time that I realized how pervasive it it. I can find something positive to say about any person–and especially a black performer. Heck I found a Kelis song last night that made me sit back and re-evaluate my thoughts about her. Like a few of Beyonce’s songs, even have rocked to a few of Trina’s although none of them are my favorite, but for miscellaneous, unknown, unsuccessful, non-talented people to make the kind of comments I read on this and other blogs–is truly sickening. Love Katt Williams though–Let them do their mothableeping Job. HATE. That’s what hater’s do!
For the record, the only reason why Madonna has more popularity around the world than the likes of people like Janet, and Mariah is because the majority of Madge’s fanbase is filled up of mostly trannies, and homosexuals. Everybody knows that she has a humongous gay following around the globe.
The music she makes nowadays is wack anyway. It’s no wonder she hooked up with the recycled team of production from Timbo/Timberlake.
JD always has a white woman on his chest. I hope these two hurry up and get married, they have really grown on me!
Janet has a large gay and transexual following as well. I would bet that the entertainers just appreciate their fans–sexual orientation notwithstanding. I’m thinking Hmmm..I can choose between group A) a bunch of so called “straight laced” heterosexuals who constantly offer negative critiques, slam how I look, say my music sucks etc. or I can choose group B) who love me, support me, buy my albums, adore me, and defend me—but happen to be gay or transexual…
I’d choose group B. I’m sure Janet, Cher, Madonna, and the others feel the same way.
Maybe the gay and transsexuals know what its like to be hated on–so they are less harsh.
I’m a hetero female by the way–but a fan is a fan. Janet’s biggest fans back in the day were young blacks. Now all of the young black blogs constantly harp on her age and other things that irrelevant to her talent.
I don’t know WTH Janet has on but dayum it she still look fab! LOL How is that possible?
I co-sign JScene post #12.
On that Erykah album, I went to Amazon and was about to purchase it but I read the mixed reviews and decided to wait. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate her new album? I love me some Erykah. I have every one of her CD’s so I will probably get it but after reading the reviews and hearing snippets of some of the songs, I don’t know. But the snippets were too short for me to tell if I would like the songs.
I love Larry King. He’s the only news anchor of his caliber that has a variety of guests on his show. Snoop was on there not too long ago… Janet’s hair still looks a MESS.
Why the hell cant someone just post a fuckin comment voicin their opinion without 25 fuckin people jumpin all over them damn! Its a fuckin blog thats what its for so EVERYBODY can have a say not just YOU.
Now with that said fuck that I dont like shit they wearin.
@#53. Of course. It’s no doubt that they appreciate their gay fanbase. I was just pointing out popularity amongst the three. Not to mention that Madonna is bisexual and is an obvious faghag. The only reason why I bought that up is because someone aboved mentioned Madonna’s relevance, and popularity. And JScene made some good valid points. Madonna is hardly ever told to sit down and that she’s too old, but Mariah and Janet needs to retire. It just doesn’t make any sense. But it does seem as if the homosexuals and trannies appreciate their favorite artists more than heterosexuals do. Realize that I said it seems that way.
@56
It’s going to be alright, just calm down…you must be the person that everyone is jumping all over.
Yeah i do get upset when people tell Janet to sit down, even the new Ebony magazine with janet on it asked “Does Janet still have it?” I dont see the white magazines say that about Madonna they always say things like “The queen is back” or something. Janet is younger and has always been more talented than Madonna but for some reason we dont want to support her. Look at the tricks in the industry now, Janet could still at 41 shut them all down, Rhianna -SHUT DOWN fergie?-sHUT DOWN Nelly?- SHUT DOWN ciara?-SHUT DOWN
Dont get it twisted, Janet is still a bad bitch, her last tour All 4 U was the second largest selling tour by a female ever after Madonna, so she needs to be getting love everytime she come out no matter what.
The person on JDs shirt is “Kate Moss”, the model…
