TV BIT: JANET JACKSON SHARES THE 1ST TIME SHE SAW DRUGS ON ‘ANDERSON’

February 22nd, 2012

International icon Janet Jackson dropped by the Anderson show and talked one-on-one with Anderson Cooper. The singer shared interesting life stories including those in her book, True You: A Guide to Finding and Loving Yourself, how she remembered Whitney Houston and the first time she saw people doing drugs at Studio 54:

I use to go to 54 a lot…Yeah, when I would be on hiatus from ‘Good Times.’ My mother said, “What do you want to do?” and I would, “I want to go to New York and visit Mike.” She’d would come out; mother and I and we would go to [Studio] 54. I was 10 or 11 years old at 54 dancing. You know it was the first time I had ever seen drugs. I couldn’t figure out why people were putting flour up their noises. I thought that was the stupidest thing! [laughs]

The Nutrisystem spokesperson talked about her new diet and personal wellness. She also touched on why she ran off and privately married her first and former husband, James DeBarge and how her father never wanted to be called ‘Dad’. Check out the video clips down below.

    It was a great show. I thought it was funny how Anderson spoke about him and Michael riding in the limo together after The Wiz premiere and how he basically paid him no mind until after the fact.

      That’s how most white people are…they only pay attention to black people when there is some personal gain. Devils…
