JANET JACKSON: WHAT’S THE REAL STORY?

The last few times we saw photos of Janet Jackson she was wearing baggy clothing that resembled a burka, which made sense because her ex-husband is Muslim. But since she’s free of him, we haven’t seen much of her at all. Until this photo of her new haircut popped up. It IS a bit radical as far as haircuts go, but the website Media Takeout also claims that Janet now weighs 300 pounds! THAT might explain the oversized burka-style clothing, but we think MTO is exaggerating. Hopefully, Janet will turn up in a new photo looking like her usual adorable self…

WILL RIHANNA END UP IN A BURKA LIKE JANET JACKSON?

Rihanna is looking better than ever as she arrives a charity event in New York. Frankly, we have been worried that she would end up like Janet Jackson. Remember when Janet started dating her Arabic billionaire boyfriend Wissam Al Mana, her style gradually started to change. She wore headscarves and flowing clothes. By the time she was married, Janet was wearing large black outfits with black head coverings – like a burka (implying surrender to a male-dominated culture.) It was horrifying. We hope Rihanna’s Saudi sweetheart Hassan Jameel does not influence HER this way…

WHAT WILL JANET JACKSON DO WITH ALL THOSE BURKAS NOW?

Now that Janet Jackson and her billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana have split after only five years, her life is going to get a LOT more complicated. And her baby boy Eissa is only 3 months old! Apparently Janet, 50, and Wissam have mutually decided their marriage is not “working” and they hope to remain civil. (Considering their backgrounds it’s no surprise.) She has custody of their child. We wonder if she will leave her life in London and move back to California. We’re not sure if Janet converted to Islam, but she certainly has the wardrobe for it. On the other hand, if she gives up her burkas, she’ll have to watch her weight again. Let the concerts begin!

JANET JACKSON’S BACK AND SHE’S ALL COVERED UP!

Frankly, we never thought we’d see Janet Jackson onstage again after she married Arab billionaire Wissam Al-Mana. She dropped off the face of the earth for several years – presumably living like an obedient princess in Qatar. A snapshot of her at an airport swathed in black with a black veil (VERY burka-ish) fortified our ominous beliefs. Maybe she finally got bored with all that indulgence. We’re happy to see that Janet’s back onstage (she opened her Unbreakable world tour in Vancouver last night) but she’s not quite the same Janet we knew and loved. She’s no longer “Nasty.” Her Vancouver performance revealed a more demure and less naughty Janet – and her costumes covered her from neck to toe. But we’re glad to have her back.
