The outfit she's wearing is gorgeous (despite the fur).

I can't help it, though - looking at Janet's face anymore makes me sad. She doesn't look ugly or freakish in the least, but it's just not...her.

DAMNNN...Janet is fine. Let's just hope my girl Janet is still going to play Lena and have it broadcast on air.

I've always pictured her playing Dorothy Dandridge. What's the video where Janet's got that old Hollywood glamour thing goin' on?

Janet was petitioning for the role of Dorothy Dandrige in the mid-90s along with Whitney, Halle and Angela Bassett. She used the "Twenty Foreplay" video and single as a way of convincing the producers of the bio-pic to select her for the coveted role. Unfortunately for Janet, it went to Halle.

I agree with Anxiety... she's not ugly or deformed. But she just doesn't look like Janet anymore. Neither when she's chubby or rail-thin. Wonder what happened. Perhaps some subtle cosmetic surgery in the last few years? Dunno.



But for what it's worth, she's never going to pull off Lena Horne.

i guess when you're 37 you don't look like you did when you were 21. i look entirely different today than when i was 17...i mean, my face shape has changed so much that if i went to my high school reunion people would not recognize me...and i've never had surgery.

It's common knowledge that Janet's had quite a bit of cosmetic surgery to her face over the years (and other areas). I don't begrudge her it and it's enhanced her looks. Small but subtle changes.

All stars do this. It's doing it well that matters (Michael? You listening?). Madonna's had her nose thinned, Catherine Zeta-Jones has had her eyes reshaped and her lips augmented. Jennifer Lopez has had her nose thinned and her lips done.

Sarah Jessica Parker's done an admirable job with her nose (look at the subtle refinements to it over the past 15 years). Even Marilyn Monroe had her jawline reshapen and her nose done.

no, no...i was just pointing out that it is probably, more than anything else, just the aging process.

I think its funny how much people mention Janets age nowadays and I've heard two songs mention how some groupie looks like a "young Janet Jackson".


I've seen young women that don't look as good as Janet. She has fucked up her face with all of that bullshit but damn...she looks good.

I feel ya. To me, her apex was "Poetic Justice." For a good buddy of mine, it's "The Pleasure Principle" video.
