March 14, 2011 (Beverly Hills, CA) - Celebrating the debut of her first book, TRUE YOU: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself (Gallery Books/Karen Hunter Publishing), at #1 on New York Times bestseller list, ICON Janet Jackson will undertake her first book signing appearances for fans in New York City and Los Angeles. She is known, among other things, for how rarely she makes public appearances.

In TRUE YOU, Janet candidly reveals her very personal struggle with an issue so many of us face every day: self-esteem. With candor and courage, Janet shares her painful journey to loving herself. Janet addresses the crazy rumors that have swirled around her for most of her life, shines an intimate light on her family, and pulls the reader behind the velvet rope into her unforgettable career. Janet shares lessons she has learned through friends and fans.

TRUE YOU was written with the help of Janet's personal trainer Tony Martinez and Chef Andre Carthen of Acafe. Tony Martinez has worked directly with Janet for the past nine years assisting Janet in developing the muscle, tone and confidence that have defied human nature. Chef Andre, of Acafe, worked with directly Janet to develop a delicious menu of recipes. TRUE YOU takes Chef Andre's exquisite recipes and transforms them into something anyone can do if they have a desire to stay healthy and lean while eating the foods they love.

"I am excited to share my story, and the lessons that I have learned on my journey to finding and loving myself. I look forward to meeting as many people as possible in New York and Los Angeles. My tour is up close and personal and I can think of no better way to be close to my fans than to meet them at these book signings," said Janet.

That's so cute! The girl looks a bit like Janet in the "Let's wait a while" video haha.

In that video of fans waiting for Janet to exit (why?? She won't stop the car for you! LOL) I see a girl I know, she flew in from Holland. She has blonde curls. :D

^^ I haven't I'm waiting for the UK release in April, but amazon have a lot of reviews from readers on it :)

Janet is beautiful, BUT I did not like the hair. Reminds me Jermaine. :fear:

Yeah, when she has it gelled back it doesn't look good, its better the way she has it at the shows:

I've got it too. Started reading it, currently page 40. Very interesting and catchy, I could finish it in one day, but have no time at the moment...So I don't regret buying it, already found some valuable thoughts on things that bother me a lot.

I know Lucinda as well. I met her, so nice!
 
Oh cool!!! :D That's funny! :)


I sat with her for dinner with other MJ/Janet fans. I'm in the white shirt that says CIA. I had soooo much fun. I've never been to a concert where people travel from all different countries.

Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

I'm no Janet fan, but her saying he teased her is the truth, presumably, and most brothers tease their sisters anyway. I don't think she's doing it to "bash" him so much as just reminiscing about childhood trifles, and even though no one really likes to be teased, that was a part of her family life.

And I don't think she's trying to make him out to be a bad brother. If she wanted to say that, she would say it outright. And that stuff happened when they were kids, no one would judge him for it [and I honestly don't know anyone who has, even among non-MJ fans].

Unless she made it clear and specific that hurt her in a way that was irreparable, claimed Michael was an awful brother, etc. I think you guys are being overly sensitive.

If you see the way she talks about it, it's a complete non-issue now. Young girls [and boys] tend to be insecure, so they take teasing from others seriously, but the person doing the teasing has no way of understanding how words affect people if both are young children. It'd be completely different if it was a Michael/Joe scenario where Joe was a grown man teasing his teenage son. I think Janet makes distinctions, and wishes she would have taken it less seriously at the time.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

People are just fascinated that Michael was a living, breathing being and not the wind up statue that could dance. That's why they throw themselves on every bit of 'human information' on this man, even when talking to his siblings. People say all sorts of things to each other.
I bet both my brother could independently come up with some rather weird sounding commentary about one another that we said at one time or another.

Ahem, humans are kinda like that.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

So what if she has said Michael teased her when they were KIDS. Telling her to say no comment when someone asks about it would make it appear worse like its something really bad to hide when there isnt. Its not anything people use against MJ. The only ones that complain or ponder on it are fans. Its so trivial I dont know why? I dont see the reason for all the DRAMA over something ALL kids do when growing up. Its a harmless story and she doest portray Michael as a bad person nor does she portray it as if Michael scarred her for life. She has nothing here to be ashamed of. She isnt picking on or bashing her dead brother either. IMO -That is a sad vindictive statement to make over something so trivial.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

Um Janet is still relevant today. Her book did well and do her tours. NO one talks about the brothers anymore and they were a lot of famous celebs that still talks about Janet.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

^^^Janet's book was RE-RELEASED in paperback just released that's why she is still talking about it.

Oh, my bad!

I don't recall ever seeing a person go on ANOTHER book tour to talk about a paperback re-release. LOL! I just figured if she was out there again, it would be in support of a NEW project.

Me neither lol. I never read her book. I found out from some fans when she started doing interviews for NutriSystem.

You know MsCassieMollie, now I'm thinking that the reason for that appearance was to put The X-Factor seeds in motion. That appearance had nothing to do with her book or her diet plan. LOL!

So far, it worked, because we are talking about it.
