Tonight on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek answered an easy question, or so he thought. The host wanted to know, “As the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award, she took ‘Control’ & took the stage in her first live TV performance in nearly a decade.” If you still don’t know who that is, then the game show made it even easier by showing some video of the female singer at that awards show.
At this point, everyone is like Janet Jackson. Well, everyone but Alwin. He thought it was Ariana Grande. The contestant is a nasty ponytailist. He thinks everyone with long ponytails look alike, and we don’t.
After weeks of speculation, Janet Jackson confirmed that she is separated from her husband Wissam Al Mana. She spoke out on Social Media for the first time in almost a year to talk about him, her son and going back on tour in the fall.
She starts out talking about having bags under her eyes and putting on some extra pounds since getting pregnant and having a baby. Something her brother Randy, who was recording her message, jokingly confirmed. Confirming brothers and sisters never grow up.
Then she talked about Eissa. She said, “He is so healthy, so beautiful, so sweet, so loving, such a happy baby.”
While things are happy with her son, they are not with her marriage. On that front she had this to say, “I just want to keep it real with you guys for a second. Yes, I separated from my husband. We are in court and the rest is in Gd’s hands.”
Then she announced that she is changing the name of tour to State of the World. It is not about politics but “people, the World, relationships and just love.” Something the Jacksons have always been big believers in.
No word if she has any new music in the works, but I am sure it will be one of her best albums because so much has happened to her since the last one came out. When it comes to her tour, she always knows how to put on a show! She always has that rhythm nation going on!
It has been an awful week for Janet Jackson. Last Saturday, it was rumored that she split from Wissam Al Mana, her husband of around three years, and shortly afterwards it was confirmed. Because of the confirmation, it made the new mom a gossip target. Every detail of her life being exposed.
Instead of letting that get her down, she ended the week by sharing the first photo her son Eissa. Even though they have so much going on in their lives right not, the 3-month-old and her not letting it show. Which is a good thing because this should be a sweet time for them and they look like they have a sweet relationship!
Janet Jackson should be experiencing the happiest time of her life as a first time mom to a 3 month old son, but Daily Mail is reporting she split from her husband Wissam Al Mana. No reason was given as why they decided to end their roughly 5 year marriage, but I am sure it will not end peacefully.
Al Mana is Qatari businessman worth around $1 billion and she is worth substantially less. The youngest Jackson also converted to Islam for her husband, so it will be interesting to see if she will remain with the religion. Plus, we don’t know who will get custody of Eissa. Since it is her first child and she had him 50, I am sure she will fight for full custody of him. But you never know.
Just think a year ago, she announced that she was her postponing her Unbreakable tour to focus on having a baby. A year later, we are waiting for her to announce that she split from her baby daddy. Proving a lot can happen in 365 days and that Unbreakable was just a name for her tour not referring to her marriage.
Back in April, Janet Jackson announced that she was postponing her tour because she was “planning her family.” Now, almost 9 months later, she gave birth to a baby boy. Her rep told People, “Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world. Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably.”
I am kind of sad she didn’t name him Michael, but I am sure there is a lot of Michael in him.
