Here is Janet Jackson's BLACK CAT 2006 photo shoot and she looks fierce! That means good to the slow folks. Some people on here love to misinterpret what I say. These are the type of photo shoots that should have been an ongoing thing from day one. Classy and gorgeous. The fact that she resorted to going half naked in almost every shoot shows her desperation to sell records and at the end of the day, it did not amount to anything because her album 20 Years Old is now a certified flop.
You can only play sex kitten for so long. It may have worked when you were younger but nobody wants to see a woman close to her menopause stages half naked in bra and pannies with her tits hanging out. My mama is only 6 years older than Janet and is already going through the change. Well, you WILL not catch my mama with her tits hanging out at every opportunity.
I do NOT recall Justin Timberlake taking off his clothes to sell a million records in his second week but then JT brought the heat with FutureSex/LoveSounds. His album is still in the top 5 after almost two months of release. All it takes is a good album to sell and a hot single that is catchy and radio friendly. Janet did not deliver in either segment unfortunately. However, these pictures are a step in the right direction.
Lauryn Hill and the Conde Nast Media Group celebrated the New Starwood Prefererd Guest Card from American Express on October 25, 2006. Lauryn is beautiful. If it were anybody else, I would say they would need to tone down their eyebrows or at least make the effort to shape them up a little but Lauryn can definitely pull it off and it matches her hair. Her style, definitely an inspiration to black women! Word.
Alicia Keys new movie Smokin' Aces is expected to come out 2nd March 2007 and you can watch the trailer here. I love Alicia and cannot wait to see her in this movie. She has also been very busy working on her third studio album so maybe at around that time we'll probably hear a new single to coincide with the movie. Can't wait! Whilst mad bitch Naomi Campbell is going around making British black chicks like myself look bad, more controversy dominates the R&B world so here are todays R&B crumbs. It seems Hong Kong have put their foot down and decided they will NOT be victimised by Mariah Carey's diva-ish ways and demands. Her Hong Kong gig was axed due to poor ticket sales (4,000 copies sold to be precise) and ridiculous last-minute demands. And things will never change huh? Kwame did an interview with Hot 97 to talk about Janets new album being a failure and in the interview he came across as rather bitter all because 5 of his cuts did not make the album, hinting that one of the rejected tracks would have made Beyonce's Ring The Alarm sound like a lullaby. Ha! The most controversial quote is when he said "Ask Jimmy and Terry how they felt when Jermaine came over and changed almost everything". Well, who can blame them? I always stated that JD should not have been given so much artistic control over the album and I still stand by those words. It seems like Janet allowed her album to become downgraded just because JD is her man. JD and Janet do not mix well artistically unlike Mariah. He is brilliant with Mariah but Janet is another story. This is like the Christina Milian saga all over again when LA Reid wanted Christina to work with other producers but she made her boyfriend Dre produce her whole album instead. Not that the album was bad because it wasn't but as an artist, the public just don't warm up to her, well it would be like spotting a polar bear in Jamaica wouldnt it? Just because you're getting good dick doesn't mean your man will put on the same effect for your career. Just saying. There is also rumour going round that JD did NOT quit but was chucked out of his position. "Since there are so many rumors running rampant about my position at Virgin Records, I feel that it is necessary to set the record straight," Dupri said Wednesday in a statement released to the AP. "I was not forced out of the company, I made a decision that it was in my best interest to leave." Yeah right, after you found out your ass was about to get dropped. And the saga continues. Stay tuned for more R&B crumbs.
