Yes : as y'all heard or read in the media or on the internet, Janet was really married to René Elizondo Jr but their union is now over as René asked for the divorce -this decision follows their lately broke-up-. In an official press release, Janet hoped all her fans would definitely understand her as long as she wanted to preserve her privacy/intimacy, what every normal family asks for... (Janet's whole life has been largely given media coverage since her childhood...)
Janet, do NOT worry : all your fans understand you and please, never forget, we're all here for you (most of all in such bad moments !! *hugz*)... "Doesn't really matter" if you're married or single as long as you are H-A-P-P-Y !!! *hugest hugz from all your fans... and me ! *lol**

JANET IN A MOVIE : EXCLUSIVE !!!
Here is the very OFFICIAL picture of Janet and Eddie Murphy taken from the "Nutty Professor 2" !!! It's E-X-C-L-U-S-I-V-E !!! Watch Out!!!
A NEW ALBUM PROJECT FOR JANET ?!?
It seems like there is a BIG news for all Janet Jackson fans... Why ?!? Just because there is rumor about a new album project... What we know about that project ?!? Well, it is first a project, it means that Janet only thinks of it, nothing more. She has been willing to involve in a movie for ages, now that she has the opportunity to do so with "The Nutty Professor 2" she will maybe involve into a second movie...
Anyway, Janet Jackson will be right back with a new album very soon because we must remember that Janet is a DANCER first and a SINGER !!! That is why she already declared that she will work with Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott for a new version of "Nasty" !!! This is supposed to be released on the next album. Janet seems to be also willing to co-operate with other artists...
Janet is plotting more of a hip-hop course for her next album. For the first time in 15 years, she'll be working with producers other than the team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who will oversee the project. Though the album is still in its early stages, Jam says that potential collaborators include top hip-hop beat makers Swizz Beatz (Eve, Jay Z.), the Neptunes (Kelis, Ol' Dirty Bastard), Missy ''Misdemeanor'' Elliott, and Darrell ''Delite'' Allamby, who produced ''What's It Gonna Be.'' Also on the short list are two old pros who've worked with Michael: Teddy Riley, the man behind Blackstreet (''No Diggity''), and Dallas Austin, the producer largely responsible for TLC's multi-platinum hybrid of hip-hip and R&B.
No name for this album has been announced yet...
TO BE CONTINUED...!
NEW ABOUT THE KIDS !!!
Right now, The "Kids" (Janet's dancers) are very very busy !!!

Note : Tina, Gil and Jennifer may have gone to the "Bains Douches" (the French most popular club and maybe the best club worldwide !). Tina knows this club and she enjoys it a lot each time she's in Paris...
Then, Nikki Patenburg is still "faithful" to Ricky Martin's latino rhythms ! She's been rencently seen in Paris again with Ricky who has promoted his album... She may dance on Ricky's World Tour.
Finally, Tyce will teach some dance lessons in a popular and famous private dance school in New York City, while Robert Vinson will dance on Christina Aguilera first tour with TLC !
Here it is ! Now you know almost everything !!! :-)

I do hope you enjoy the new design of the main page... We are about to enter the 21st Millenium and i thought it was time for CHANGE !
JANET AND HER "LOOK"
In a recent interviw Janet gave at the end of "The Velvet Rope Tour", she was saying :
"Yes, I do take care of my look. I have a crew around me who help me for music videos footages but also for variety tv appearances. I have a hairstylist, a make-up assistant, a clothes stylist, an artistic director and a "hym teacher" who follows me everywhere."

JANET ON BIG SCREEN !!!
Six years after her role opposite the late Tupac Shakur in 1993's "Poetic Justice", Janet Jackson is eyeing a return to the silver screen.
Janet has signed on to appear in her first movie role in seven years ! The R&B Artist will co-star with Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Professor 3: Klumps", the sequel to the 1996 hit film.
Janet Jackson will play Denise, a university professor who becomes the love interest of the portly but lovable professor Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy). The story revolves around Denise's research becoming useful to Klump when hi alter ego Buddy Love breaks loose and threatens their budding romance.
"The fusiobn between Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson is really exciting to me", űber-enthusiastic Imagine Entertainment honcho Brian Grazer tells the Reporter. "He's a gigantic superstar actor, and she'sa superstar musician who acts. Getting Janet is a huge coup for us because she doesn't have to do movies, but she wants to do this one."
The film is slated to start shooting October 5 in Los Angeles and directed by Peter Segal.
A NEW SECTION !!!
By clicking on "JJ Radio" in the summary, you'll be able to listen to Janet songs directly on your computer !
A NEW SONG ADDED EACH WEEK !!!!!
JANET JACKSON & MISSY ELLIOT
After collaborating with the likes of Eminem, Lil'Kim, Redman, Aaliyah, Juvenile, and Da Brat for her new album, "Da Real World", Missy Elliot is now setting her eyes on cutting a few songs with Janet Jackson !
In an interview with the MTV Radio Network, Missy talked about her upcoming project with Miss Janet Jackson, and teased fans with the track's tentative tittle.
"Right now, i'm getting ready to do something with Janet Jackson", Missy told the MTV Radio Network. "So that's major to me because I'm a big fan of Janet. It's going to be called "Nasty Girl 2000", so y'all remember that."
No word on if the song will be a reworking of Janet's 1986 hit song "Nasty", or the Prince-penned, Vanity-performed "Nasty Girl" from 1982, but I'll keep you posted.
THE KIDS
