She know what she's doing though. "There's no such thing as small parts, just small actors". She will get the attention of other directors after all the attention centered on her for this.

Nope...BKK

His catalog is about as flimsy as the Layne Bryant catalogs her orders Madea's clothes from. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game, I live in Bangkok. I won't be seeing nothing but trailers until the bootleggers get it. Until then, I'll give it the benefit of doubt.

HB, how you durrin?

It should be a very powerful movie. So powerful that some people aren't just going to run out to see it. Some people will need to wait until they're in the right head space. and anyway, with art it's not always about the money.

Oh , that's Hilary Swank. When she's on a stage with Janet, she's just a girl in the background

Look at her; she is owning that stage. Even that girl in the background is like, damn.

For Colored Girls Soundtrack.

The most memorable part of the interview, for me was her making it known that Brazilian Jazz is a favorite kind of music for her and she wasn't just paying it lip service. . She and Larry were just batting it back and forth like two old jazz heads.

Yeah, I can see that

Now that you mention it together again was probably very personal to her, but the video was more about set and choreography.

For me, it's "Feel it Boy". That's why I specified 'features'. The reason is I don't think she was required to be a character in that video. She was more of a muse.

Mine is "island Life" DJ

That is what I find is the most amazing thing about Janet's music. Each collection is such a complete work of art, there for you to appreciate, like a gift ready for you when you are ready to receive. There are times when Janet is the only artist on my Nano, because I only use it when I travel or am working out, and I only work out to Janet; something that frustrates certain people who know me, to no end. I always do my crunches to a "Doesn't Really Matter" remix. And when I'm running I switch up from "Velvet Rope" to present because I don't have RN and C on my Nano but they're in my Itunes. But one day, when I'm in that particular space, I'll surely add them back in or take something out. But For sure It will always be Janet.

We get that you're a throw back artist Amy, but why bother recording a cliche song if you can't add anything new or interesting to it? I'm disappointed.

It sounds like a carefully considered review. Tyler is growing and what more can be asked of him. Janet, however can do no wrong, in my book. I would watch her open an close a paper bag for two hours.

She Is Janet. Hear Her Roar. Why do men always try to protect Michael’s little sister? With a new movie, look, and perspective on life after a painful year, Miss Jackson is serving notice: she can handle her own bruise control. Rocco Laspata / Blackglama Maybe it’s the big brown eyes. Maybe it’s the baby-doll voice. Maybe it’s her unusual family. Whatever the cause, Janet Jackson has long noticed she has a peculiar effect on men and, frankly, she doesn’t get it. “For some reason, men always want to protect me from something,” says Jackson, 44, her eyes and that voice as vulnerable as always. “I find it interesting because I consider myself strong and perfectly able to take care of myself. But I’ve had that reaction all my life from men. It baffles me.” In the last few years, the role of Jackson’s chief protector has been played by director Tyler Perry. He’s been there through breakups and breakdowns, as a friend and, possibly just as important, a source of constant employment. While her music career has cooled, Perry’s cast her in his last three movies. In fact, she was in the middle of filming Why Did I Get Married Too with him in Atlanta when her mentor, idol, and older brother Michael died from an alleged drug overdose. Perry promptly hired extra security and prohibited photos of her from being released to the tabloids. He even changed the ending of the film—over her objections—because it featured her in a scene at a funeral. “It was just too eerie,” says Perry. “When I think of Janet, I just want to protect her. Not that she needs it—she can handle whatever comes her way, and she has. But when I see what she’s been through, it makes me want to intervene in any way I can.” All of which explains how they came to work together on their latest movie, For Colored Girls. The two had just wrapped up Married Too when Perry called to invite Jackson to see an Atlanta production of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf, the landmark 1974 Ntozake Shange play about a circle of African-American women who face so many hardships—rape, infidelity, infertility, the death of children—they could found their own Prozac nation. Typically, Jackson thought the invite was another one of Perry’s safety checks. “He worries about me a lot and calls sometimes just to see how I’m doing, so I had no idea he was thinking of making a movie out of the play—or that he’d want me in it, for that matter,” she says. Neither of them had ever seen the play. “I remember being about 10 years old and visiting Michael in New York when he was filming The Wiz. It was on Broadway then,” she says. “I always remembered it as the play with the really long name.” Perry had been hearing for years from women—most recently Whoopi Goldberg—who wanted him to adapt it. “I knew that some women really consider it the black woman’s bible,” Perrysays. “That was fascinating to me.” Shange’s beautiful and haunting play is an especially un-film-friendly work. The original piece was told, in a very ’70s way, largely through dance and verse. None of the characters even had names. The women in Perry’s version (played by Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine, Phylicia Rashad, and Goldberg) do break into soliloquies at unexpected moments, and one of them teaches dance. But Perry has deftly updated their situations to feel more true to 21st-century Harlem, though you still must get past the dated idea that all the women feel consumed and defined by their relationships with men (and that the men, with the exception of one noble policeman, are worthless).
