It's not Mother's Day here but Happy Mother's Day to all your Mamas.

Today would be a good day for a tweet or something.....

No. News is thin in the ground right now and this article contained new information. It's up to you if you choose to believe it or not.

Randy is closer to Janet because he joined the band much later so while the brothers were away on tour Randy, Janet and Latoya would be left at home. I do find it odd how much slack she gives him, it's almost the same as how Katherine is with Jermaine. Although Janet has loaned money to family members she isn't a fan of the freeloading attitude some members have yet she would let Randy live with her? I don't know what role paid or unpaid he has but Eissa has a nanny so it won't be Uncle Randy changing nappies while Janet is onstage.

also I wonder now that it's the 50th anniversary of the Jacksons if Janet will actually do anything with them, I remember an interview a few years ago and she was asked if she would be doing anything with her brothers for the anniversary and she said she would like to do something.

Janet Jackson can't wait to celebrate her first Mother's Day! 

A source close to the 50-year-old singer's family tells ET that she'll be spending Sunday with her brother, Randy Jackson, and her son, Eissa, who was born in January.

"This baby is everything to her and she is ecstatic about being a mother," the source said. "It's changed the focus of her life and showed her how even more precious human life is. Janet believes her son is truly a blessing from above." 

And once the celebrations are over, Jackson, who shares Eissa with estranged husband Wissam Al Mana, will get right back into her fitness routine. The pop star is currently gearing up for her State of the World Tour (previously titled Unbreakable), which kicks off Sept. 7 in Lafayette, Louisiana.

 "Janet is juicing right now and doing the super cleanse next. She is eating a little bit, but just lean proteins and vegetables," the source explained. "This regime will put her back in fighting shape for her tour. She is also going to be working with a trainer to get back in tip-top form." 

"She'll be coming out full force and unrestricted," the source added. "Janet will begin rigorously dieting. She wants to look her best for herself and her fans."An additional source previously told ET earlier this month that Jackson is preparing for this to be "her greatest tour ever."

I guess she can't have celebrated uk Mother's Day in March. Although I would celebrate both as she is American and Eissa is British. I also heard that Randy now lives in London? Has anyone else heard this?

my local radio station hardly plays any Janet songs but when they do its ALWAYS TBTILAF 

I can't decide between Runaway and Because of Love ?

So...uhh...you people with tickets are going to sneak some pictures and videos for those of us not able to go right??? 

Enjoy....it's had heavy rotation on my playlist the last couple of weeks 

The Daily Fail has more pictures from the shopping trip.

there is no furniture shop next door to Blue Almonds but Nursery Window is another baby shop selling clothes and furniture 2 doors away?

not quite true, Janet's people usually tell the interviewer beforehand which questions/topics to avoid. It doesn't however mean they will listen.

ok let's just book Latoya 

ffs it's like talking to a brick wall. Did I say that it had to be a British group? No I didn't. I don't know what kind of dance acts you have where you are I was just using an example. 

 there's no way Janet is gonna have a dance group open her tour

I didn't say she was, it was just an idea. You don't like it/can't grasp the idea fine.

I meant that having a dance act would be similar to Janet's dance breaks. Maybe I was wrong using the phrase 'early days'. Brought more up to date meant including flips and whatnot.

are you US or U.K.? Because the type of dance act I am trying to describe are the slick, sharp ones on Britains Got Talent etc

I didn't mean nor mention a tribute act. 

that's if she even gives many

i don't feel comfortable about the emphasis on her weight, we all know her struggles with weight and body issues. And as someone who understands those issues of body image I don't like how it is implied that she HAS to lose the weight before the tour starts. I just don't want her to get into that rigorous diet and exercise regimen that she had during the AFY era and have her get run down and sick.

I have been thinking about this again and I really think it would be cool if she went outside the box and had a dance act as the opener, someone like Diversity for instance (I don't know who the US equivalent are). I think it would really hype the crowd up, you would have good music and good visuals at the same time and these kind of acts admit to being inspired by people like Michael and Janet. And since Janet admits that she can't do some of the moves she used to it would be a great nod to those early days but brought more up to date.

DJ - I do love a good megamix 

Gil posted a video on Instagram relating to a meeting for the tour which I screenshot
