This morning, Janet Jackson stopped by both Good Morning America and The View as she did the publicity rounds for her new film, 'For Colored Girls' which opens November 5th. In addition to discussing the film, she shared that acting is her first love, and it was her father who pushed her into music. She said she will continue to do both acting and music.
Janet also revealed that she has a book about self esteem and weight loss due to be released in January of 2011. She said she still has self esteem issues that stem from her childhood.
During her interviews, Janet took the opportunity to quash rumors that she is engaged to current boyfriend Wissam Al Mana, a 35-year-old Iranian billionaire.
The Tyler Perry film, ‘For Colored Girls’ is based off Ntozake Shange’s collection of poems that was later turned into the play ‘entitled, "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." The film focuses on women who are treated badly by men in relationships. Janet kept her distance from her phenomenal co-stars off camera in an effort to stay in character.
Perhaps Janet is still keeping a distance from her co-stars. Loretta Devine who stars as Juanita in the movie joined Jackson on The View. Upon entering the set of the show she hugged everyone except Janet who was seated in the middle of the hosts. Seems she purposely avoided contact with Janet. Beef maybe?
Other observations:
· Janet’s short haircut is growing on me
· Her character in the movie has green eyes. I absolutely hate the colored contact lenses she wore for the film.
In my personal opinion Janet should stick to singing. She has never been believable in any role she has played.That includes Penny on Good Times. From what I've seen in the previews of this film, she's not any better. BUT I'm not hating cause she can rock a video. As for her explanation for avoiding contact with the other crew members, yea right! I don't think there is beef between the cast member just Ms. Jackson thinking she is better than the rest of them. Can't wait to see this film because it has phenomenal and talented cast. Well, most of them anyway.
