great..she's got a nice bod again but does she have to wear a bikini for the cover of Us?

its not Maxim.
It will be. If not, it will be everything else.

The bikini cover is good for US only because she lost the weight. Everyone loves a success story.

I doubt there was much airbrushing, if any. Janet's weight has always fluctuated, and when she has most of her time to devote to working out, not to mention the personal trainers, nutritionists, and chefs she has working for her, it's not surprising that she can get back in to shape before promoting an album. Image is a big part of her job as an entertainer.

Besides, every five years it's the same thing, like "Wow! How did she lose that weight!".



george clooney and christian bale both did it during that timeperiod....and nobody batted (no pun intended) an eye...

is it because janet is a woman?


Unlike Janet, George Clooney and Christian Bales bodies are not a major part of the package. Janet, since '93 has used her body to sell. I'm not saying it's the only thing that made her famous but people have come to expect that now - A new record drops along with half naked photos of herself.

So, with that said, her weight gain and extreme rapid loss is always going to get attention.

She does look amazing, but there must have been some airbrushing involved....
How can someone go from being really overweight too that in just some months??

1: There's always some airbrushing BUT I do believe that is how her actual body looks - I don't think they did any contouring.

2: Janet has MONEY... she has TIME... she has a TRAINER & a NUTRITIONIST... the weight is all she's had to think about for months - it's completely possible when you have all those things going for you... Plus she dances like a maniac on stage & has bouts of being ripped - she's got endurance & can probably do longer, more productive workouts nod
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

True, true. Anyway it can't be very healthy to lose and gain and lose again like that.

I think I'm more inclined to respect someone who lost weigh on their own while balancing a 9-5, without personal chefs and personal trainers.

They did it for a role. She did it because she "needed" to lose the weight. One is technical the other, emotional. Her story has vulnerability...a human side....much more news worthy.

I dont understand your interpretation. They did it for a movie role and Janet also gained weight for a movie role and lost weight for an upcoming album. Where do you see emotional/vulnerability in her story? To me its just business as usual in the entertainment world.

Did she? I didn't know that.

Either way, Janet is knows to have weight issues. Many people do, so they connect with her on that level. They will always see her weight loss as a struggle/success story/source of inspiration.

That's what I'm saying though. Where is all this poor little rich girl talk about weight issues coming from. She said she gained the weight for a role and its obvious she lost the weight for the upcoming CD. She even admits the personal chefs, trainer, all the time to exercise, etc. I personally can't relate to that.

People keep saying she's up and down with her weight. I haven't seen her heavy since her head was bobbin' up and down on a stick in the Escapade video. Has she been heavy since then (before a few months ago), and I'm just not paying attention?

Magazines like that are such a hard read.

As a matter of fact I don't ever recall Janet saying she has a weight problem. This is actually the second time she mentioned that she has good genes. ( I believe the first was in an Essence article where she was questioned about her thing waste). She admits seeking comfort in food (I'm almost sure it was the Larry King interview during the All For You tour), but in ways that we all do. So I don't know where this poor little rich girl struggle with weight saga comes from.

Perhaps a lot of it has to do with the fact that she started off big. Maybe we assume it could easily happen again/that she will always struggle with it. That's probably true, though. And based on the photos I've seen posted here, yes, she seems to fluctuate.

Eh? confuse It's not as if her parents are skinny!

"I put on the pounds for a film I was to do


Well, sure, I believe that! wink LOL, she's been up and down in weight several times, does she think we haven't noticed or simply forgot?! At any rate, good to see she's not overweight like in some of those pics we saw a few months ago, wish she could just get to and maintain a healthy weight. confused JMHO!

The project is up in the air. Janet, Martin & Macaulay all dropped out after filming was delayed. I do not know if they have filled the male roles.
