Janet Jackson Gets Real

Been hoping to see even more of Janet Jackson in the near future? Yeah, no one else really has, either, but more Janet is exactly what the world will be getting, according to Variety.

Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty) will be filming a new reality series for MTV. Casting has already begun!

The as-yet-untitled project will feature Jackson searching "YMCAs, church groups [and] local community centers" for "the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher," says executive producer Dave Broome (the man responsible for The Biggest Loser).

Hmm; a reality show featuring a celebrity in search of the next version of herself. There seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

Quotables /

“Janet Jackson arrives at the third annual Loveday celebration and Cartier Love Charity Bracelet launch held at a private residence on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The 42-year-old singer/actress posed with CEO and President of Cartier North America Frederic de Narp and longtime beau Jermaine Dupri.

Ms. Jackson is also developing a music competition reality TV Show for MTV, reports Variety. The as-yet-titled project will feature Janet as she mentors a group of aspiring singers and dancers as she prepares for her world tour, which launches on Sept. 10.

“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher,” said exec producer Dave Broome. “And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”

DO YOU THINK you’re going to tune into Janet’s new reality show?”

“Janet Jackson's album "Discipline" reportedly flopped and the record execs have ceased promoting it.

How sad! That really sucks. She had seven top five hits from her album "Rhythm Nation" but now she was only able to have one hit of this new one.”

Does she think anyone cares aboutt her anymore? Her last few "comeback" cds have tanked and none of her singles have gone anywhere. GO AWAY JANET!
