SNAPPED! JANET JACKSON IN FRANCE!
A stunning Janet Jackson, who celebrated her 45th Birthday earlier this week, was SNAPPED! at the 18th Annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala held at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France - looking fantastic as usual wearing a long wine-colored skirt and loosely tied green top...she doesnt look a day over 35 - beautiful!
The black-tie event, which included a cocktail reception, dinner, and live auction, attracted Gwen Stefani, Naomi Campbell, and a dapper Kanye West!

UsMagazine.com: What inspired you to branch into a solo career?
Tito Jackson: I actually started a solo career back in the days of Motown, but it so happened that the brothers left the company at the time that I was in the middle of my project, so it was never released. I had three sons, so I had to stop and raise my boys. I just put my project on the back burner for a little while, or a long while I should say. I worked for my kids, raised my sons. But since everyone in my family has a solo career, I thought it was time for me to do something.
Us: How is this album different from what you produced with the Jackson Five? And what sets it apart from the work of your siblings?
TJ: I think what sets it apart is that it's just me expressing my musical abilities, and what I feel and think musically. Instead of having four or five other brothers with their input, I'm able to totally express myself.
Us: Was it ever difficult to get the five of you to agree on the music you all produced?
TJ: Well, it's a musical thing. It almost speaks for itself, especially when you're speaking about musical disagreement. The music will speak for itself.
Us: Awesome. Are your sons on the album at all?
TJ: My sons have a huge involvement in the album. They helped produce and write some of the songs and sang in the background with me. They kept me really focused on the project. After my brother passed away, it was very difficult to get back into a musical groove. I had to take time to just mourn for a moment. I felt Michael wanted me to continue my music. He had heard the title track, and he liked it and praised it very much. I started back on it about four months ago, and now I'm going to complete it and get it out.
Us: Incredible. Are there any tributes to Michael on the album?
TJ: No, but I’m working on something. It's actually still very hard for me to listen to his music. Although, I hear it all the time, to actually listen to some of his later music when he wasn't a Jackson Five is difficult. I don't instantly think about Michael Jackson the superstar, I think that my brother is not here.
Us: How is the whole family coping? Has it brought the family closer together?
TJ: It brought us closer as a family, and we are there for one another. I truly understand the meaning when they say, 'You never get over it.' You don’t.
Us: Do your children or grandchildren hang out with Michael's children at all?
TJ: Absolutely. As a matter of fact, Blanket and my grandson are best friends. They're close in age, so they play together. Prince is having fun and enjoying school and that whole thing. So is Paris.
Us: What about Janet? How is she handling everything? What do you think of her tour?
TJ: I haven’t seen Janet's show yet, but I hear great things about it. I saw her last concert tour, and it was fabulous. She’s always excited me ever since she was just a little baby on stage with her brothers. I always enjoyed watching her.
Us: Do you think Janet will settle down and have a family with the new boyfriend?
TJ: Janet is a hard worker, and she's always motivated by new ideas and building her career. Who knows? Maybe she's at an age and time in her life where she might want to take a little slower place and maybe consider some of the things she hasn't touched on in life. Maybe a family. Maybe marriage. You never know.She's been married before, but maybe a family this time. We'll see.
Us: You've kind of developed a reputation as the Jackson who wears the hat. How many hats do you have if you had to guess?
TJ: How many hats? Wow. Quite a few. At least 50.
Us: Do you have a personal favorite?
TJ: I like my Beaver Boat bowler.
Us: I read that Michael said you were the calm one that kept everyone grounded in the group. What was it like playing that role in the family?
TJ: It's just the way that I've always been. I tell it like it is, but I don’t voice my opinion unless it's asked for. I keep my thoughts to myself, and I think that's one of the best ways to be. With brothers you become friends. Some you hang out with more than others. You talk to one about the other a little more. You get mad at them. Then, you love them. Then, you apologize. You have to apologize whether you want to or not. You have to. That's your brother.
Us: Who was buddied up in the Jackson Five?
TJ: There were two groups. Michael, Marlon and Randy were a group. And then Jackie, Jermaine, and I were the other group.
Us: Once the album comes out, will you be going on tour?
TJ: Yes, I plan to do various dates over the course of the year including a radio tour as well.
Us: Will your family be touring with you at all?
TJ: I'm pretty sure my mom will always come in and check on us and visit to make sure everything is okay. She makes sure we’re behaving.
Us: What about your dad?
TJ: Joe Jackson is a great man. The problem that people have with my father is that he tells it like it is. He's just straight up and doesn't beat around the bush. Tough love. If he likes you, he'll let you know that. If he doesn't like you, he’s going to let you know that, too.
Us: And what about Mike's kids? Will you be taking them on tour at all?
TJ: If they want to come out and hang out with Uncle Tito, that’s always welcome. I'm going to be taking them fishing this summer. I'm going to hang out with them a little bit when I get a chance.
Us: That’s great. And how are they? This must be so hard for them. How are they coping?
TJ: Well, they're children and they have a way of not being okay, but being okay. They miss their pops dearly, but they are continuing to be children and do all the things that children do. They go to Disneyland and go to the movies and the park, things children do.
I really enjoyed this..looking forward to this project and glad that mjs kids are doing just fine

Dionne Warwick, Patti LaBelle,Gladys Knight, Tina Turner to the list very monumentally influential women i may add then why would you leave out Janet and Mariah and class them among Alicia Keys, Ashanti, , Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Missy Elliott, Tyra Banks, Iman,Phylicia Rashad, Debbie Allen and Alfre Woodard, most of whom janet paved the way for was just plain disrespectful and if i were janet i woulda turned down the invitation (but we all know janet's too nice to refuse )

Janet Jackson And Mariah "youngun's" In the Same league As Alicia Keys According To Oprah
So i happened to stumble on this..and even though it happened years ago this was my first time coming across it..i commend oprah for honoring all this monumental women of color but diminishing or belittling the achievements and legacies of others whiles doing so was not the way to go..i understand the need to put people like Maya Angelou, Shirley Caesar, Diahann Carroll, Elizabeth Catlett, Ruby Dee, Katherine Dunham, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Nikki Giovanni, Dorothy Height, Lena Horne, Coretta Scott King, , Toni Morrison, Rosa Parks, Leontyne Price, Della Reese, Diana Ross, Melba Moore, Naomi Sims,, Cicely Tyson, Alice Walker, , and Nancy Wilson. in very high esteem but if you add

A deal with Lionsgate was a natural fit. Jackson has starred in three Tyler Perry films--Why Did I Get Married, Why Did I Get Married Too and For Colored Girls. She also starred inJohn Singleton’s 1993 drama Poetic Justice.
Earlier this month, Jackson’s memoir True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourselfdebuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

JANET JACKSON SIGNS DEAL TO PRODUCE A MOVIE!
Janet Jackson is becoming a movie producer. The performer-actress has signed a production deal with Lionsgate to select, develop and produce a feature film for the independent studio.
Jackson has a thriving music career—she’s currently on world tour—but this is her first foray into film producing. She says movies have always been her first love.
“Many people forget I started out as an actor,” she tells THR. “I have been fortunate to work in the film industry, though not as much as I would like. I have a passion for storytelling, and have been doing it through my music for some time.”
A deal with Lionsgate was a natural fit. Jackson has starred in three Tyler Perry films--Why Did I Get Married, Why Did I Get Married Too and For Colored Girls. She also starred inJohn Singleton’s 1993 drama Poetic Justice.Mike Paseornek, Lionsgate president of motion picture production and development, says the studio recognized Jackson’s instinct for great stories.
“She is a powerful on-screen presence, with a vast audience, and we believe she will be an equally powerful presence behind the scenes,” Paseornek says. “We are honored to be able to provide a home for her ideas, passion and immense talent.”
In terms of the film projects she might pursue, Jackson says she is drawn to diverse material. She says she is particularly captivated by film noir.
The deal with Lionsgate was negotiated by Paseornek, executive vp business & legal affairs Robert Melnik and director of business & legal affairs Neil Ollivierra on behalf of the studio. Negotiating on behalf of Jackson and her jdj Entertainment were attorneys Tom Hoberman and Don Steele of the Hansen Jacobson firm.
Earlier this month, Jackson’s memoir True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourselfdebuted at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.Presently, Jackson is on her Number Ones: Up Close and Personal world tour. The performer and actress has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and ranks as one of the bestselling artists in the history of contemporary music.
