Janet Jackson Speaks On Work With Tyler Perry

.Heading { font-weight:bold; font-size: 10px; font-family:Verdana; }

(RTTNews) - Janet Jackson and Tyler Perry have become a pretty powerful Hollywood duo over the past few years. In a recent interview with the BBC, the pair spoke on their newest flick Why Did I Get Married Too?, which hit theaters in April.

"I was waiting for the right time and timing is everything," Perry says. "I think that this film and having an international world renowned superstar on every planet, it was a great time to introduce it to an audience that I've been longing to meet."

Jackson previously connected with Perry on his 2007 film Why Did I Get Married? and is currently working on his film adaptation of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, which is due out in January.

"He deals with it all and he captures it all," the singer/actress says of Perry. "Not just from the male point of view, but also from a woman's point of view so well and that's why I think it works in America and I think it will work everywhere."

Perry's films have enjoyed massive success in the U.S. and he is now starting to release some in the U.K. as well.

Trailer for new Tyler Perry movie

Have you seen the trailer for Tyler Perry’s upcoming film adaptation of the play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf?” It’s up on his website now. Here’s the link.
The title, being something of a mouthful, is being shortened for the film to just “For Colored Girls.” The movie stars a slew of big names including Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Whoopi Goldberg, Phyllicia Rashad and Thandie Newton, who stepped in at the last minute when Mariah Carey had to bow out. It hits screens next month.
It was filmed largely in the metro Atlanta area, with some shots in New York. There’s a snippet in the trailer that was definitely shot here – at the Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital in Duluth, which is part of Gwinnett Medical Center.
The film originally was to premier in early 2011 but it is being released early. Maybe to be eligible for a 2010 Oscar? It looks powerful. Will you plan to see it?

Janet Jackson Might Be Done With Major Labels

It's been nearly 30 years since a then 16-year-old Janet Jackson signed her first major record deal. But today Jackson is reconsidering what route she will take on future releases.

In a recent interview with The Daily Mirror, Jackson mentioned that "the major labels have called and they want to sit down and talk about me signing," but added that she needs "to figure out if that's the route I want to take or if I want to do something more independent."

Added Jackson, "The latter might be better, where I'd be able to call the shots when creating my own album. I haven't decided."

Jackson signed with A&M back in 1982 and from there migrated to Virgin nine years later. She broke it off with them in 2007 to sign a multi-million dollar deal with Island Records, but that contract only spawned one release and was called off only a year later. Her most recent album, 2008's Discipline, is among her lowest-selling records to date.

Janet Jackson explains her golf rage

She brandishes golf clubs in her film Why Did I Get Married Too? But do not be fooled, Janet Jackson admits she is not a fan of the sport.

"I often listen to it on TV. Golfing is great to fall asleep to, for me," says the singer and actress.

Janet, 44, smashes up a room using a golfing iron in one scene in the movie.

"That was rage. We had a few cameras going and she knocked the c*** out of me and my arm and she hit herself. Her ankle was swollen. She was just going for it," says the film's writer and director Tyler Perry.

Why Did I Get Married Too? is the first of his productions to be released outside America. Up until now, his features have only been available here via illegal downloads or bootleg DVDs. But the entertainment mogul, who also writes for the stage and TV, insists that is set to change:

"This is the beginning of an international push and I thought there was no better place to start than London.

"I have a pirated awareness here, so we'll see what happens," he added.

New JAL: More Bows, No Janet Jackson







If it’s been a long hot summer for all of Japan, spare a thought for the Japan Airlines crew.
Not the legions of pilots, flight attendants, ground staff and mechanics who’ve kept the bankrupt carrier flying. No, instead, the thought’s for the backroom boys who’ve had to work all through the heatwave to cobble together the intricate restructuring plan Japan’s biggest airline submitted to bankruptcy protection administrators Tuesday — complete with a request that major lenders waive a cool $6 billion-plus in debts. It may be two months late, but if administrators like it, they’ll have earned a cooling summer drink.
Another JAL team with a tough job on their hands: the ad people. Just how do you sell a carrier that’s filed for Japan’s biggest-ever bankruptcy by a non-financial corporation as a good airline to fly?
Well, try a TV commercial that doesn’t so much eschew the image of long-dimmed glamour air travel to jetset locations as trash it, with a paean to hard work, service and safety procedures, with shots of baggage handlers, refuelers and bowing. A fair bit of bowing.
“We turn our thanks for everyone into action — JAL”, goes the snappy slogan.
Of course, this is still TV and Japan, so the accompanying music is “Movin’ On”, a tune by one of Japan’s hottest boy bands, Arashi, authors of the biggest selling album in Japan so far this year. Still, it’s a fairly somber, mid-tempo stomp, rather than a bouncy singalong.
At any rate, it’s a long haul from the kind of TV advertising JAL used back in the early 1990s, when it was ramping up the kind of expansion that would eventually land it in trouble, with too many unprofitable routes and not enough paying customers.
Dance routines on a suspiciously fake-looking runway, shouts of “Let’s go!”, ear-to-ear grins, leather gloves, electro-pop… it could only be R&B queen Janet Jackson in a spot for JAL’s “executive class” service.





Whatever business lessons JAL has learned or ignored in the last 20 years, it looks like at least the company has learned a thing or two about image projection.

[The One.]

I'm shocked about the rumours of Jermaine cheating on Janet. I really hope it's not true.

This new movie project is interesting. I hope I can watch it someday (I still haven't seen WDIGM's :blush: ) Does it have to have so long and difficult name to remember though!?

DVD Review: Why Did I Get Married, Too?

Tyler Perry looks at love, lies, and marriage.

"Why Did I Get Married Too" (2010) on Blu-Ray DVD -



For years I've struggled with the phenomenon of Tyler Perry's success. Not necessarily his success as an actor or filmmaker, but rather how his films are so popular, with each one making bank at the box office and on home video. His films don't appear to be anything special and yet they're blockbuster gold. But since I had never actually seen a Tyler Perry movie before, I decided to get to the bottom of it by taking on Perry's Why Did I Get Married, Too?, which just arrived on DVD. Will watching his latest film give me insight into why his films are so popular? I aimed to find out.
Four couples, all best friends, meet up for their annual "marriage retreat" in the Bahamas to talk about their relationships with one another. There's the happily married couple with two kids (Perry and Sharon Leal), the newlyweds with a new baby (Lamman Rucker and Jill Scott), the perfect couple they all compare themselves to (Malik Yoba and Janet Jackson), and the crazy couple who barely have time to breathe between all of their bickering (Michael Jai White and Tasha Smith). The Bahamas does wonders for their marriages until they go back home to Atlanta and the realities of life put most of the couples through the ringer in some form or fashion, throwing the timeless question out in the open: Why did I get married?
Without seeing Why Did I Get Married? (or any other Perry movie), I had nothing to compare this film to and had to regard it as a stand-alone movie. Sometimes that can be quite difficult, but it wasn't really a problem with Too; it was able to flesh out the characters within the confines of this film and not simply rely on the first film for their background and development.
But without having seen the first film I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into in terms of tone or genre. Is it a comedy, a drama, or a romantic comedy? I wasn't quite sure and now that I've seen it, I'm still not quite sure what category Too fits in. While it starts off with this Couples Retreat-like scenario, with a similar tone and comedic hijinks, it sort of morphs into something more serious once their time in the Bahamas is over and the couples head back to their everyday lives. And just like that the film goes from a comedy (with escalating drama) to a full-fledged drama (with sporadic comic relief), which is a bit unconventional for your typical Hollywood movie. I guess Perry expects the audience to get the transition, but it was tough to switch gears so dramatically in the middle of the movie.
The cast works really well together as an ensemble. White provides the biggest laughs (which I didn't expect as I know White more from his action roles than his comedy), and Jackson steps up her game as an actress, giving one of the most well-rounded and broad performances that I've seen in quite some time, going from serene and happy to distraught and hysterical.
On the DVD side, the disc is equipped with a horrendously bad Janet Jackson music video for the song "Nothing" exclusively recorded for the film, and two featurettes -- one focuses on the men of the film, the other focuses on the women. Both featurettes give a little more insight into each of the characters with interviews with the actors and the producers guiding the way. And finally, a "Couples Character Guide" allows you to learn even more about the four couples featured in the film. The extras here are adequate, providing just about all the additional material you could possibly want from this type of movie.
What it comes down to is this: Why Did I Get Married, Too? is a fairly enjoyable dramedy that manages to portray all the different aspects of marriage through each of the four couples. Marriage isn't glossy and perfect all the time and even the best marriages have problems. While you may be saying "duh" at that statement, most Hollywood films don't present marriage in that light, so to see that here was kind of ... refreshing. That said, the change of tone was weird and the ending felt forced, as if Perry wasn't quite sure how to finish it so he went for the quick and easy, and then somehow (miraculously) everything went from bad to good -- just like that.
I still don't really get the phenomenal attraction of Tyler Perry's movies based on this flick alone, as it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but it was watchable and had a few highly entertaining moments. Now it might be time to bite the bullet and give those Madea movies a try...
Ask yourself Why Did I Get Married, Too?, now available on DVD from the Lionsgate and Tyler Perry Studios.

For Colored Girls...' trailer buzzes online; Will Tyler Perry court praise or derision from women?



Initial reaction to the long awaited screen version of Ntozake Shange's award-winning masterpiece, "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." A seminal work in American drama, "For Colored Girls..." remains a touchstone as a celebration of the Black female experience at a time when ethnic narratives were struggling to be heard. That Lionsgate opted to collaborate with its key franchise moneymaker, Tyler Perry, on the project, the announcement raised both hackles and cheers from several sectors of the Black arts community.
Now, the "For Colored Girls..." trailer is here.

At first glance, it is disappointing that Shange's poetry has been morphed into a sleek, Lifetime variation of the "Waiting to Exhale" model. With a formidable cast that includes Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington, Anika Noni Rose, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad and Loretta Devine, it is telling how important the material remains in attracting them all. But was Perry really the best choice? Sight unseen, any criticism, like whether it is unfair playing the gender card in this media game, is early. Still, given the importance of the work and this first look, the man behind Madea may have finally tackled too large an artistic challenge.
Reaction to the "For Colored Girls..." trailer will be swift, with Deadline.com already reporting that Perry pal Oprah Winfrey wasn't too keen on his helming the project, either. Even though Winfrey apparently supports the project now, the real test comes in November, when the film opens to a mass audience.
In the meantime, Lionsgate has a lot of confidence in the film, advancing its release date from 2011 to November 5. (Just in time to represent the mini-major during awards season).

Janet Jackson puts on some sexy glasses - and even sexier underwear - for new movie role




Janet Jackson is about to make a return to the big screen in two new movie projects.
First up she is to reprise her role of Patricia in the comedy, Why Did I Get Married Too and then she is set to star in the film version of the award winning play, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf.
Jackson stars in the movie along with Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg, Macy Gray, Anika Rose and Kerry Washington.

Sexy: Janet Jackson puts on some red and black lingerie for her role of Joanna in her upcoming movie, For Colored Girls

Looking smart: For Colored Girls is the movie adaptation of the award winning play of the same name, directed by Tyler Perry






Each of the women portrays one of the characters represented in a collection of twenty poems, revealing different issues that impact women in general and women of colour in particular.
The play was written by Paulette Linda Williams, who now goes by the Zulu name of Ntozake Shange.
The long running play garnered a slew of awards including an Obie, a Tony, an Emmy, and a Grammy.
The work introduced a new theatrical form called the choreopoem.

Dramatic: The movie consists of different actresses telling their stories and it combines poetry and music to form a new theatrical form called choreopoem

Established: Jackson has been in several movies in the past including Why Did I Get Married and Nutty Professor II


Jackson looks stunning in her new role, with flawless make-up and hair. At one point her character narrates to camera in just some red and black lingerie.
Thandie Newton plays Tangie and is seen wearing a long, straight wig, whilst Whoopi plays Alice and is seen decked out in tradition African dress of a long tunic and scarf wrapped around her head.

The movie version of For Colored Girls is directed by writer, director, actor Tyler Perry, who also directed Jackson's other upcoming release, Why Did I Get Married Too.
The movie is released in the U.S. on November 5.

Co-star: Thandie Newton also appears in the movie to tell her story in the role of Tangie

African: Whoopie Goldberg plays the part of Alice and appears decked out in traditional robes and headscarf




Jackson has appeared in several movies before, including, Why Did I get Married, The Nutty Professor II and Poetic Justice.
She has also starred in a number of TV shows including, Fame, The Love Boat and D'ffrent Strokes.
Although she is an established actress Jackson is best known for her singing skills.
The youngest sibling of the Jackson family, Janet started her performing career at the age of seven, singing on stage with her famous brothers.

Pensive: Kimberly Elise also stars in the movie which is heralded as being thought provoking and moving

Balancing it out: Omari Hardwick plays one of the few male leads in the mainly female cast




Jackson has sold a staggering 100 million records worldwide over the course of her career, making her one of the best selling contemporary artists of all time.
A lot of the top female performers today cite Jackson as their influence.
Britney Spears has commented in the past: 'I've always been majorly inspired by Janet in everything she does.'

<sup id="cite_ref-218" class="reference"></sup>Christina Aguilera recalled: 'I remember watching MTV as a little girl. To me, Janet had it all; amazing videos, hot songs and the sexiest voice.'
<sup id="cite_ref-219" class="reference"></sup>Cassie has referred to herself as a 'die-hard Janet Jackson fan' and elaborated: 'I'd love to emulate Janet's career—totally ... She's incredible, from her moves to her voice.'

Ensemble: For Colored Girls' cast comprises of just about all the leading African American actresses of the current day




The 44-year-old singer is currently in Paris, France with her boyfriend, business mogul, Wissam Al Mana.
Yesterday she was spotted leaving the gym and generously decided to help redistribute some of her wealth, passing some Euros onto a waiting homeless woman.
As well as her movie and singing projects Jackson is also soon to become an author.
Jackson has penned a self-help book called True You which is due out this fall.

Janet Jackson models her new beau at a fashion show (but has she noticed his elf-like ears?)

They looked like the ultimate stylish couple as they watched a catwalk show in Paris.
But a smiling Janet Jackson didn't appear to notice her boyfriend's elf-like ears at the Lanvin show yesterday.

Wissam Al Mana's triangular ears bore a striking resemblance to Orlando Bloom's character Legolas in Lord of the Rings.

Note to elf: Janet Jackson doesn't appear to notice her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana's elf-like ears as they watch the Lanvin catwalk show in Paris yesterday

Eerily similar: Al Mana's ear bears a striking resemblance to Legolas's elf like ears in the Lord Of The Rings films

But the couple clearly seemed to be enjoying their fashion experience.
Both looked stylish in black coats, with Jackson, 44, sporting a studded black studded choker necklace.
And this morning, she got another fashion fix when she attended the Haider Ackermann show in the French capital without her boyfriend.

Will dead Michael Jackson be blamed for Janet's self-esteem issues?

Her book's synopsis:

ONE OF THE GREATEST ENTERTAINERS OF OUR TIME CANDIDLY REVEALS HER VERY PERSONAL STRUGGLE WITH AN ISSUE SO MANY OF US FACE EVERY DAY: SELF-ESTEEM


Janet Jackson emerged from the shadows of an already famous family to become one of the most beloved, recognizable, and influential performers in the world. But at what cost?

From the age of ten, when she made her acting debut on Good Times, Janet was told by Hollywood that she needed to slim down. Her well-meaning brothers, especially fun-loving Michael, teased her relentlessly until she began to believe that who she was wasn&#8217;t good enough. It was an idea that no amount of critical acclaim in television and film or, later, international platinum success in music could change.

Janet turned to food for comfort and escape. She developed a self-destructive pattern familiar to so many of us: fear and uncertainty led to bad feelings about herself and ultimately depression. The depression led to overeating. And her yo-yoing weight was painfully obvious in the bright lights of the entertainment world.

It has taken Janet most of her adult life to come to terms with who she is. But she has finally broken free of the attitudes that brought her down and has embraced realistic goals that help her eat better, exercise better, feel better, and ultimately be better.
This book is about meeting those challenges that face all of us. With candor and courage, Janet shares her painful journey to loving herself. She addresses the crazy rumors that have swirled around her for most of her life, shines an intimate light on her family, and pulls us behind the velvet rope into her unforgettable career. She also shares lessons she has learned through contact with friends and fans and reveals the fitness secrets she has learned from her trainer. Finally, her nutritionist, David Allen, unveils the wholesome, delicious recipes and lifestyle-changing tips that helped Janet get in shape&#8212;mind and spirit, heart and soul.
True You is a call to tune in to your own fundamental wisdom, to let go of the ugly comparisons, and to understand that who you are, the true you, is more than enough

Will dead Michael Jackson be blamed for Janet's self-esteem issues?

Her book's synopsis:


True You is a call to tune in to your own fundamental wisdom, to let go of the ugly comparisons, and to understand that who you are, the true you, is more than enough

of course... she will throw her dead brother under the bus as always

 

[twinklEE]

of course... she will throw her dead brother under the bus as always

she started it back in 06, blaming him for calling her dunk. I believe she stated ambiguous stuff back then too. Clearly she's got jealousy/resentment issues with her dead brother, after all she could never escape his larger than life shadow.

 

[twinklEE]

well maybe she think she has now since he's dead.. she doesn't seem all that concerned about whether MJ gets justice or not that's for sure.

Michael's untimely death made sure the woman will never escape his shadow. He was larger than life when he was living, and still continues to be in death. This must piss her off, considering she did everything she could these past 25 years to compete with him, and/or even outgrow him. Bearing everything from head to toe, including nipples, yet Mike -though dead- is still bigger than she has ever been.

I just want to please (yet again) ask everyone to keep on topic here. Please.
