Celebrity magazine Life & Style featured a photo of Janet on the cover of their magazine last week with the caption, "Yes I'm Pregnant!"
Two unreleased songs leak onto internet Two previously unreleased Janet songs, "Clap Your Hands" and "What Can I Say," leaked onto the internet last night from an unknown source and are now spreading across the internet.
The two tracks are being traded among fans on Janet's online forums. Neither of the two songs had previously been released to the public.
While holding a press junket in 2006, Janet revealed that the song "Clap Your Hands" had been recorded for the 20 Y.O. album and at the time did not know if it would make the final album. It is not exactly clear at the present time when "What Can I Say" was recorded.
Both songs are believed to have been produced by Rich Harrison, although that also has not been confirmed.
Jimmy Jam says he wants to work with Janet again In a new interview with EURweb, producer Jimmy Jam, while speaking about the upcoming reunion album with The Time, said that he would like to work with Janet again:
Jam also spoke about another reunion - one with his good friend Janet Jackson. Jackson, who'd worked with the team of Jam & Lewis for over two decades, but for her 2008 "Discipline" disc, Jackson chose not to have the duo contribute, a choice some fans and industry-ites thought unwise. However, Jam shrugged it off.
"We're not perfect," he said of the Jam & Lewis team. "We don't always make the right decisions. We've done records in our time, luckily not many, but we've done some that weren't the best records to do. We went into all the records with good intentions though. You don't go into it saying, 'Ooh, I'm going to make a bad record.' You go in to make a great record. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We had mad records together for 20 years and she decided to go a different direction and I applaud her for it. I want to see her successful in whatever she does."
Jam said that Jackson certainly doesn't need to do anything; that a new project with them would simply be a want, as is with both the pending and possible discs.
"I think she's anxious to do some work. And [The Time] is back together because we want to be together, not because we need to be together," he said. "If we collaborate with Janet again, and by the way, I never thought that we wouldn't collaborate again. Just because you work with another producer or decide to go the other way, that that closes the door of the possibility. We want to work with her and I think she wants to work with us and if that all happens, then that's what we're going to do."
JD posts video of Janet's concert at Madison Square Garden Jermaine Dupri late last night posted a new video on YouTube of footage from Janet's November 1 performance of the Rock Witchu Tour at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
