3 a.m. girls gossip

–FLABBY Janet Jackson has gone into hiding as she tries to keep her
bulging waistline a secret from prying eyes. The 39-year-old, who seems
to have a taste for cake, has started a diet after being spied sneaking
out of a weight-loss acupuncture clinic last week. She desperately
needs to get into shape for some forthcoming gigs, but although
auditions for dancers have started, Janet has stayed away. A mole tells
us: “Janet won’t attend for two weeks as she needs to trim down before
others see her work out.”

All I have to say is — Janet ain’t flabby!

LOS ANGELES – Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” at Super Bowl 2004 is soooo over. Now the pop diva is turning heads with a major “wardrobe expansion” after she packed on more than 40 pounds.

It’s not the first time the 39-year-old songbird has blown up like a balloon only to slim down with a drastic diet and exercise regimen, a family source says.

“She has battled this problem since she was a kid. She’ll go months eating whatever she can get her hands on, and then she’ll go months eating just salads and fruits and drinking Evian water,” said a family source.

Ruben is fat!  Janet is not fat!  Monique is fat!
I personally don’t think she’s fat. Monique is fat. Reuben Stoddard is fat. Janet is not fat.

Windy City Times anticipates Janet’s next release

Twenty years after its release, Janet Jackson is going to “runaway” back to the Control era with her signature blend of dance, funk and pop on her next album, due this spring. Returning as producers on this Virgin set are Janet’s longtime musical partners Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. During an interview with Chicago’s radio station WGCI, Janet’s boyfriend, Jermaine DuPri, spoke enthusiastically about the new album, in particular about a song that samples Jones Girls’ “You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else.” According to foxnews.com, Janet has picked up playing the guitar, not only for her upcoming album, but also for her part in the movie Tennessee. Even with her Super Bowl fiasco, Janet’s last album, Damita Jo, debuted high and fizzled away without producing a Top 40 hit.

HIP-hop impresario Jermaine Dupri is shopping a book proposal to publishers this week. The Grammy-nominated producer and rapper’s memoir – tentatively titled “Young, Rich and Dangerous” – will dish on working with everyone from Mariah Carey and Usher to Bow Wow and kiddie rap duo Kriss Kross. Look for Dupri’s story to also dwell on his relationship with longtime girlfriend Janet Jackson.
