It looks like Janet Jackson isn’t getting the major deals her colleagues have recently landed with Live Nation. According to Billboard.com, a rep for the company has denied reports Live Nation inked Jackson to a multi-million-dollar contract like the ones obtained by Madonna, U2 and Jay-Z. The spokesperson added Live Nation is not even, quote, “currently in discussions” with Jackson. Janet Jackson left Island Def Jam last year after just 14 months on the label. She cited a lack of promotion on the part of Island Def Jam when her “Discipline” CD was released last February. To date, the album has sold just over 400-thousand units in the U.S.

Janet Is Ready To Kill Beyonce Over Comment

Singer Beyonce Knowles has reportedly left fellow artist Janet Jackson  fuming after referring that the latter’s family did not come from an upper class background.

The leading R&B lady seemed to have taken a dig on Jackson family by contrasting her wealthy upbringing against that of Janet, who comes from the working class area of Gary, Indiana.

“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” the Daily Express quoted Beyonce as telling Elle magazine in a recent interview.

“We`re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we`re like the Jacksons – but I didn`t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation,” she added.

And according to the New York Daily News, Janet was said to be so livid with the remark that she was planning a head-on confrontation with Beyonce.

Why Not Just Leave Janet Alone!!!

Why not just leave Janet alone! The FCC is taking the case of Janet Jackson’s infamous Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” to the nation’s highest court. According to “Variety,” the agency has asked the Supreme Court to review an earlier ruling against it.  The FCC originally levied a 550-thousand-dollar fine against CBS because Jackson’s right breast was seen briefly at the end of her Super Bowl 38 halftime show.  CBS won a lower-court appeal earlier this year, with the court deciding the FCC, quote, “arbitrarily and capriciously departed from its prior policy” which exempted what is describes as fleeting broadcast material from actionable violations of decency rules. 

 

The Supreme Court is currently hearing an appeal brought by the FCC regarding a lower-court decision in favor of Fox. The network challenged the FCC’s 2004 change in its treatment of “fleeting expletives.”  The FCC has asked the Supreme Court to wait on the CBS case until it makes a decision in the Fox case. I really think that this is just the people at the top trying to bring her down, and I dont understand what was the big dill you tell me?
