The public didn't know she was married until rene filed for divorce in 2000

according to John Singleton, Tupac really fell for Janet

Damn Janet! She must got that (BLAW)! [insert: old school cheezy Batman effects]. I understand Pac.....I understand She fucked Bobby up too according to Bobby.

somebody was explaining the whole tupac and janet situation on another forum

"Janet was married at the time and Tupac was crushing on her hard.He didn't care that she had a man and stated that much on TV. Janet probably wanted to be friends with tupac but it was clear Pac wanted more so Janet had to cut ties simple as that.Pac got his feelings hurt when Janet turned him down and so he went on TV telling everyone Janet was a stuck up bitch who asked for an AIDS test. *Typical* years later he regretted what happened and what he said about her and tried to reach out to her to apologize.I don't know if he got the chance but I'm hoping they spoke before he passed"

Director John Singleton speaks on Pac falling for Janet during the shooting of the movie.

John : Pac started to really feel Janet, and there was no way that they were gonna be able to hook up. *Laughs* ok and that was coming from Pac saying like "Damn im really feeling this chick,i wish i could get with her."


Qtip also talks about working on PJ with Janet & Pac with Complex Mag.
YouTubin’ With The Stars: Q-Tip | Complex Blog

COMPLEX: How was working with Janet Jackson?
Q-TIP: Oh great, Janet is just you know, so professional. She’s been acting since she was a kid. It was just great. Tupac was there when we were shooting that scene and when we did the first kiss, ’Pac was like, “Yeah N*gga, I know you gonna fuck up again, right?” [Laughs] And I was like, “You motherfuckin’ right, N*gga!” I’ll never forget it. Then he was like “Damn, N*gga!” you know how Pac was, and he was watching it and just left for a cigarette because he said he couldn’t watch it anymore.

COMPLEX: So are you saying ’Pac was envious?
Q-TIP: Nah, we were just goofing around. But all my boys from the ’hood were like, “Dude, what was that like? What’s up with you kissing on Janet?” [Laughs] But of course everyone is going to ask that.



1993 Tupac promotes Poetic Justice on Arsenio Hall.You can clearly see Pac was head over heels for Janet but Janet was married (secretly for years) Rene was not having thug life trying to seduce his wife.lol

Arsenio: Did you get to kiss her?

PAC: oh yess

ARSENIO: Is she a good kisser?

Pac : Oh Yes ,YES,YESSS,yes i was like "Cut do it again" "One more time John(singleton) please,you don't even have to pay me do it again"

Arsenio: Was her boyfriend on the set? (actually her Husband RENE)

Pac: *laughing* right there.He right there

Arsenio : did that intimate you?

Pac: Not intimidated but it made me like really wanna kiss her you know what I'm saying.I was like "Well i only got one shot" know what I'm saying.He gonna try to give her a kiss soon as its cut anyways,so let me do mines the way i know he cant do his. I kissed her like i wanted something from her you know what I'm saying.I was at home practicing with 30 wads of bubble gum she gone get it.






Tupac in an Interview with Sway before he died

Sway : You worked with Janet,uh i was wondering if you could hook me up with her number?

Pac : Dog on everything i love if anybody find Janet tell her I'm looking for her.That's why i said that shit in my song on "My minds made up" "Forgive me Janet." I feel like she got the shit all twisted, people that made her my enemy she not my enemy.I ain't mad at her,but i want her to know that,you know what i mean you know.She met me at a time in my life where i was real immature coming up going through alot.you know now she probably see me in a different light,maybe not maybe she would,but i want that opportunity I've been trying to make right what we made wrong

Tupac openly said he was trying to holla at her but Janet rejected him... this isnt new to me :lol

The classic Jacksons face. I know it anywhere...

Lol @ this La Toya thread turning into a Jacksons Appreciation thread Regarding cheekbones I say the Jackson chilren got theirs from both Mama And Papa Jackson. Joe and Katherine have a great set of cheekbones. And Joe Jackson was a handsome, good looking guy back in the day. He may not look like much now, but when he was younger-I can see why he was popular with the ladies. Joe & Katherine were/are great looking people and that's why their kids are great looking as well.

From the pre-California Gary, Indiana days At first glance I didnt recognize her either.

I'll pass on Johvonnie. She looks more like Joe than any of the other kids to me Funny how that works. I know of another family who's dad stepped out on mom and the kid that he had with the mistress is a splitting image of the creeping dad.

Girl me neither!

What started out as a Latoya thread had Nursey and me break out the chicken, pop-corn, and Kool-aid while we gossiped over the family album. And more and more people joined in on the party...

Lovin' it. I knew we could have a Jacksons thread up in here and still have peace. Let's hope it continues.

Yup.

Latoya wasn't very pretty. After her first coupe of plastic surgery she looked alot better, but then completely over did it.

Janet and Rebbie were the pretty ones, especially Janet. She was THE sexiest black woman at her peak.

[Edited 3/28/12 13:26pm]

So she LaToya looks better with her nose chopped off and that ridculous white make-up

Thank u

you're welcome

Damn@ I never knew about Johvonnie! When did this happen? I've just been scrolling through the pics but am at work and don't have time to read through all the verbage. Will have to get back on here tonight when I get home! don't know how I missed Joe Jackson's affair-

Anyway, this is a great thread, I love the Jacksons, I know they've had their problems but Katherine's done a wonderful job of keeping a tight-knight happy family. Good for her

Anyway, this is a great thread, I love the Jacksons, I know they've had their problems but Katherine's done a wonderful job of keeping a tight-knight happy family. Good for her

Here is some more info on the affair:

She was born in 1974 during a 25-year affair between Jackson family patriarch Joe and mum Cheryle Terrell.

Joe would visit them frequently and shower his love child with gifts.

In her early 20s JohVonnie even moved in with Joe in Las Vegas when he lived away from the family home.

His wife Katherine knew of the affair but her devotion to the Jehovah’s Witness faith led her to forgive him and accept JohVonnie.

La Toya Jackson claimed in her memoirs Growing Up In The Jackson Family that Katherine referred to JohVonnie as a “bastard child”. Yet JohVonnie found Katherine incredibly warm, even letting her and Yasmine stay in the family home in Encino, California.

And she ended up calling her “mother” like the rest of the clan.

JohVonnie explained: “I hung on to what La Toya had said.

“But then I met Katherine and I couldn’t even see her saying anything like that about me. She was really nice to me.

“I think she was very hurt at the time of the affair. That’s totally understandable. No woman likes for her husband to go cheating on her and produce a child. It was probably heart-breaking.

“But she had come out of that, she let me live in her home, me and my daughter, and I took care of her home when she was not there. We’ve cooked together and have had good conversations.”

JohVonnie says she is also “ very, very close” to Rebbie. However, her relationship with the rest of her famous brothers and sisters is very different. She said: “I met Janet when I was 15. I saw her that one time and it was clear she never wanted to have a relationship with me. I couldn’t really understand why.

“She was staring at me and checking me out and as soon as she heard me call Joseph ‘Daddy’, she switched off, turned her back and never spoke to me again.”

Things were just as difficult with La Toya. She said: “I would be shopping in a department store and would see La Toya.

“But I couldn’t go to talk with her because I didn’t feel she wanted to talk to me.”

As a youngster, school bullies had taunted JohVonnie because she was Michael Jackson’s sister – even though he wanted nothing to do with her. She recalled: “I got beat up every single day because I was JohVonnie Jackson.

“I had the hardest childhood. It was just as blue as Michael’s and just as blue as my other brothers and sisters.

“But then I grow up and found they don’t want to have anything to do with me.

“I got so irritated with my parents because I didn’t ask to be here.”

For years JohVonnie looked up to her famous siblings and even went to dozens of Janet and Michael’s shows – but could never talk to them.

She said: “Through Daddy I would get tickets to all the concerts. I was amazed at Michael’s talent. I remember thinking as a little girl, ‘He looked at me, he saw me’.

“I would sometimes go to see them back stage but I could never get to talk to them. You could not get close at all. It was frustrating. I also didn’t have any access to telephone numbers.

“I didn’t want to go through my father’s things and it wasn’t really something that was talked about.”

Now she remains philosophical about the rift between her and the rest of the Jackson clan. She said: “It is what it is. I love my brothers and sisters no matter what they do, what is said about them, how they act, it’s unconditional for me.

Thanks for memories! Some of these I haven't seen for awhile and some I've never seen. I liked what she said about Hip Hop & Chuck D being a teacher and the significance of "New Agenda." We've come along way since then huh? That janet. tour was huge! I think it lasted about 2 years. Janet was on top of the world back then. Thanks HAPPYPERSON.

What would've happened if the Jackson daughters had stuck with their group? Was there a chance of it being successful at that time?

Did they really form a group? Are you sure you're not thinking of another female group from the 70s who were called The Jackson Sisters?

These are great guys. I'm just beaming from ear to ear. I love 'em all, flaws and all.

Hey Soul, thanks, but not them. I was discussing this with Azz earlier in thread. I read one of the Jackson books, forget which one, but it may have been Margaret's. Rebbie, Janet and LaToya had a group, but never came out with anything. It's on LaToya's Wiki page too. They broke up before they could get songs out, or perform. They broke up over creative differences, but the book I read named Latoya as the reason.
