Who is La Toya Jackson? People know her face and her famous name but no one knows the person behind the persona. Now VH1 will take viewers inside the unique life of La Toya as she sits down and answers the tough questions on everything from the charges against Michael to her own plastic surgery to her journey into darkness and despair.

FRENZY
VH1 gets exclusive behind-the-scenes access to La Toya Jackson. Our cameras will capture all the excitement and adrenaline of her life as she prepares for the release of her new album. This unfiltered access will allow viewers to get to know the real La Toya in a fun and spontaneous way.

LA TOYA ON MICHAEL
La Toya went from claiming her brother Michael as her best friend while growing up, to publicly supporting the allegations of sexual molestation made against him, to a recent reconciliation. During her 20's, La Toya made guest appearances in Michael's videos and projects such as "Say, Say, Say" and "We Are The World." Michael produced a couple of her albums, but the relationship went sour during La Toya's 10 year marriage to Jack Gordon. La Toya openly discusses how she's helping him cope with the latest controversies swirling around him and defending her brothers innocence.

ON HER OWN
Jack Gordon was her manger and later became her husband. She claims that her marriage was controlling and she will speak from the heart about her painful past and how she found the strength to escape the downward spiral and truly become her own woman.

THE NEW CD
La Toya poured her new found freedom and energy int1o music. The result: her new album "Starting Over." The CD is a very personal and very funky release that marks her return to music in a big big way. Though this is her latest musical effort, La Toya's been singing for decades. She made her debut as a background vocalist in 1971. She's recorded ten albums including a country effort she produced in Nashville. Undaunted by the comparisons to her famous siblings, La Toya signed a new record deal in 2000 with JaTail Records and began work on "Starting Over."

SHOPPING
Believe it or not, but La Toya has never visited a mall to go shopping. Follow VH1 on a wild ride to the mall where she gets down to business, trying on the latest shades and make-up, but only after she gets stopped by the police on her way there.

PIERCING
At the age of 48, La Toya is in charge and finally feels secure and free to do what she wants, and that includes getting her belly button pierced. VH1 is right there as she gets intimate with the needle!

THE NEW LOOK
La Toya Jackson seems to get hotter every year. Her body is smokin' and her fashion sense is totally cutting edge. VH1 will reveal the secrets of La Toya's amazing new look. She will dish her tips and secrets on fashion, diet and exercise. You won't believe how she stays so energetic and youthful! She even opens up about her plastic surgery.

THE KENTUCKY DERBY
La Toya is on her own lucky streak when it comes to betting on the horses at the Kentucky Derby, only with VH1 will she share her system guaranteed to pay off.

THE CD LAUNCH
VH1 traveled to Hawaii to follow La Toya on her promotional tour of the islands as she meets and greets her fans and we follow her as she goes to clubs to play the new CD.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Well, you know, it's like a car-wreck: you say you aren't going to rubberneck and all, but in the end you really can't help yourself.

Darla said:

Oh, I totally believe that!



Another can't-miss moment!!

Remind me when this is on, so I can be sure NOT to turn on the TV!!

I think Latoya is HOT I mean come on what is she like over 50 years old , still looks pretty damn good!

OdysseyMiles said:

yeah Latoya's body is bangin for 48. She's got the fake boobs, but she still fine. And to watch her cry out when she got her belly button pierced, had to feel for her, poor thing, her sister told her it wouldn't hurt

She opens up quite a bit about her past (bout her marriage) and her new CD is ala Janet, so I hope she enjoys this reuniting with her 15 minutes

Exactly what does she do for a living?

I want vh1 to show "Your gonna get rocked" music video she did.....I love that video!

Anxiety said:

true. one could almost think they're siblings or sumthin'

I'm kind of wondering if this is a year old interview. After all, I remember maybe a year or so ago when she was being interviewed for "Access Hollywood" about this CD along with Micheal's recent dramas. Is this damn CD ever even coming out? This might be something VH1 had in the can and just decided to release becuase of the movie.

An interview ever year or so to talk about a project that never quite gets released, from the looks of it.

PurpleCharm said:

Apparently being LaToya is a living.

Minus the nose job, she looks phenomonal for a 48-year old....

She can't even sing - WHY bother?
