Back in the ’90s, Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue were getting boys’ heartbeats to beat as fast as a locomotion. No matter how many nasty dreams they had about two singers, those boys never saw them together when they were awake.
The ladies have given those fans something to scream about because Janet went to see her friend Kylie in concert this weekend. Thus, making all of those delinquents very happy and feel like they are lucky in love!
I have a feeling this photo was all for you boys! Because it is never too late to have your dreams come true!
And can we all agree that Janet, 57, and Kylie, 55, look even better now than they did when you were hanging their posters on your walls?
Over the weekend, Janet Jackson performed at the Essence Fest, and she was reunited with an old friend Kim Fields. Both women share the same mom. How? Chip Fields is Kim’s biological mother, and she played Janet’s mom on Good Times in three unforgettable episodes in 1977. Chip’s character physically abused Jackson’s.
Not only did they share that connection, but Fields also guest-starred on two episodes of the sitcom.
So, they obviously have a connection. Therefore, as soon as they saw each other, it was like no time has passed for the two actresses who have known each other for 45 years. And neither woman looks close to being old enough to have known someone for that long.
We watched Janet Jackson grow up in front of our eyes, but how well do we know her? Tonight and tomorrow at 8p on Lifetime, she is going to tell us the truth in a 4-hour documentary.
The doc starts off with her visiting the tiny home that she grew up in, in Gary, Indiana, with her parents and eight siblings. Then she takes us back to those days and what it was like being the youngest member of a hugely successful musical family.
It wasn’t her ambition to be a singer; it was her dad’s for her after he heard her sing. The late Joe Jackson knew she was going to be as big Michael if not bigger. So, he forced her to give up her goals and become the latest entertainer in the family.
She immediately became part of her brothers’ act in Vegas, along with starring TV shows like Good Times and Fame. She didn’t want to do the latter, but her father forced her to do it.
Janet wanted control of her life, so she secretly married James DeBarge. She was so innocent that she didn’t know that he was a drug addict. When it became too much, she went home.
With her newfound strength, she told her dad he was fired. She started to record her music the way she wanted to and become a star in her own right.
Even though she was no longer with her family, she was not alone. She secretly got married for a second time to René Elizondo Jr. And he was just what she needed at that time to launch her career into superstardom. And that is where tonight’s story ends.
Along with all of that, Janet talks about her dad and if he was abusive. She reveals the moment when things changed between her and Michael. What it was like living in his shadow. How she wanted the normal life, she never got because her father didn’t let her have it. She also finally answers if she and her first husband had a secret baby together that her sister raised. And so much more.
We always thought of Janet as private, but this shows how private she really is. However, she was ready to open up. And I hope by doing so, a huge burden is lifted off of her shoulders.
Before Janet Jackson was a pro at doing talk shows, she got her start on The Carol Burnett Show. Even when the singer was just 7 years old in that 1974 guest appearance, she knew how to steal the show.
Janet Jackson is one of the most well-known people in the world, but we don’t know much about the woman that has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl.
That is all going to change on January 28th when Lifetime and A&E air a two-night, four-hour documentary about Janet. As she says, “This is my story told by me. Not through someone else’s eyes.”
We will learn things about her we never knew, and she will clear up the rumors we have all wondered about, like did she have a secret baby and what happened during her infamous Super Bowl performance.
Since the doc is being produced by her and Randy Jackson, you know it is her truth. Because of that, I can’t wait to learn more about the women we know but don’t know.
