JANET JACKSON TOUR RETURNING
TO LOS ANGELES BY POPULAR DEMAND

Janet Jackson, whose three-concert stay in Los Angeles in April could not accommodate the ticket demand, will bring her JANET JACKSON Number Ones, Up Close and Personal Tour back to The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 1. The tour, in which the superstar performs a selection of songs from her impressive 35 number one hits, has recorded similar SRO engagements throughout Asia, Europe and North America, and now adds the rare circumstance of a return to a prior tour city. Her three Spring performances at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City sold out in ten minutes.

In addition to her rigorous tour schedule, Janet has headed record-setting fundraising events for HIV/AIDS research and treatment, including hosting recent balls in Cannes and Vienna, which topped all prior fundraising amounts of those events. Prior to her upcoming tour appearance at London's Royal Albert Hall and Paris' Olympia Music Hall, Janet will entertain in France for a giant fund-raiser June 15 when she becomes the first female artist ever to perform at the Louvre in the extraordinary IM Pei glass pyramid, raising funds for that most famous of museums.

"I have been around the world on my Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour and I am excited to be coming home to Los Angeles again. I can't wait to perform for my fans under the stars, at the beautiful Greek Theater. It's going to be a fun night. See you all there," said JANET.

The Icon's current tour differs from her previous concert schedules of years past in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There is also a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be "up close and personal," in a much more intimate settings. In each selected city, Janet will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is Janet Jackson more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before.

Janet will also be selecting the first fan winner of the contest in voting for the each of the selected cities. The winner will be announced on www.JanetJackson.com and they will receive an autographed copy of NUMBER ONES and an autographed copy of her upcoming book "True You" (in stores now). In each city Janet will dedicate one of her number one songs to that city.

Her New York Times bestseller True You, published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster is currently in stores and is continuing to climb the charts. Janet's first book reveals her unique, insider's perspective on dieting and exercise-from her past, present and her future. True You chronicles Janet's lifelong struggles with weight and self-esteem. The book is a self-help/esteem book where Janet uses anecdotes from her real life to illustrate the power of self-esteem and how she struggles and her continued growth as an artist and a woman.

New pics of Janet performing at the Louvre in France. IT'S THE RETURN OF THE LONG HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New article from the Associated Press:

Janet Jackson 'Nasty' in the Louvre, with fab show

By JENNY BARCHFIELD, Associated Press – 4 hours ago

PARIS (AP) — It's a safe bet that the Louvre Museum, that hallowed sanctum that houses the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa and countless other priceless artistic treasures, has never seen moves quite like Janet Jackson's.

The Grammy-winning pop princess gave her raunchy fabulous best for a good cause on Tuesday, bumping and grinding her way through a raucous set at a glitzy charity gala Tuesday inside the museum.

The concert — the highlight of the "Liaisons au Louvre" benefit, with proceeds going to the museum — was a first-ever for an institution more often associated with string quartets in period costume than sexed-up American pop divas.

Held under I.M. Pei's iconic pyramid, Jackson's performance was loud enough to make the glass paneling reverberate overhead. Jackson, sporting a white crocodile pantsuit and surrounded by a cadre of crotch-grabbing dancers, belted out a medley of her greatest hits, including 1986's "What Have You Done For Me Lately," ''Miss You Much" and "Rhythm Nation," both from 1989, as well as her trademark hit "Nasty."

Astonishingly for a posh charity event — where cumbersome evening gowns tend to keep guests glued to their seats — Jackson had the well-heeled crowd of about 300 up and dancing.

"Her music is the soundtrack of all our lives," gushed Lucas Somoza, a 29-year-old Houstonian who now lives in Paris. "She is one of the iconic singers of our times and to see her live is mind-blowing."

The Louvre closed early to the public Tuesday to receive guests including Prince Albert II of Monaco and actress Diane Kruger, as well as hundreds of art lovers and do-gooders with deep pockets. They sipped flutes of Champagne as they ambled among the works of art and explored private chambers once belonging to Louis XIV, the Sun King, before dining in a covered sculpture garden.

The "Liaisons au Louvre" event is organized by Becca Cason Thrash, a Houston-based philanthropist whose work for the museum has made her a beloved figure in France.

"Americans have done so much for culture here in France. They saved Versailles and Giverny," Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand told The Associated Press, referring to the sprawling royal palace in the Paris suburb of Versailles and the home of Impressionist painter Claude Monet in the northern Normandy region. "I can only applaud the work done by Mrs. Thrash, who's one of those marvelous Americans who put so much time and effort into saving the precious things we're lucky enough to have in this country."

Thrash herself played auctioneer at the event, using her Southern charm to up the ante and fetch the highest possible price for lots including luxury holidays and a painting by Richard Price, which went for $700,000. Other top lots included an African safari (which fetched $90,000), a yacht trip ($100,000) and a Marrakech getaway ($50,000).

Thrash called on the bidders by name, rewarding those who heeded her appeals to raise the bid with a "Thank you, baby!" When at one point the quick-witted Texas belle lost her balance and nearly toppled over, she recovered and asked, foxily, "Who will give me $100,000 to catch me when I fall?"

Tuesday's gala capped three days of festivities for the out-of-town attendees, including a dinner at the American ambassador's residence and a trip to a chateau outside Paris.

Elizabeth Petersen, a Houston fundraiser and longtime friend of Thrash, called the experience "magical."

"It's glamour for a good cause," said Petersen, looking red-carpet-ready in her white pearl and feather-covered gown. "It makes you feel like royalty just being here.

"Plus, we're letting the culture soak in by osmosis," she said, gesturing at the treasures that fill the sprawling museum, formerly a royal palace in the heart of Paris.

The first "Liaisons au Louvre" gala raised $2.7 million in 2008. Funds from Tuesday's gala will help restore a Louis XV drawing room, organizers said.

She could have, but judging from a lot of her performances from that tour, they were all pre-recorded. Only song I heard live was Rhythm Nation that ONE time
