Jackson Family Update: The good, the bad and the strange


First the good news. Janet Jackson is going to be writing a diet book. The songstress has long had issues with her weight, I think just about everyone can sympathize with that, and it seems she’s going to share her secrets to that newly slimmed body.

“It’s not just this sterile, weight loss and how to do it book, but my journey even from when I was a kid … being an emotional eater,” said Jackson, who is 41.

“It takes you through those moments in my life up ’til now and what worked for me. And hopefully within that, if it doesn’t work for them, maybe they’ll find something that does work for them and a nice place for them to be content with who they are.”

Jackson, who said last month on CNN’s “Larry King Live” that she liked French fries, sweets, caramel and candy apples, reportedly put on 60 pounds in 2006.

The book won’t be a traditional diet book, but instead address the issues of emotional eating. I’m glad that it is not a strict diet to follow, because I have never been able to follow an eating plan.

I have my own health philosophy I got from comedian Billy Connolly, “Don’t eat anything that comes in a bucket!” This link NSFW.

In other Janet news, her Saturday Night Live appearance has been cancelled as she is still recovering from the flu that hospitalized her on Sunday. Mariah Carey will take her place.

The Jackson family today announced, through Tito, that he will be purchasing two homes in England for the family to live on. He has been in Devon this week campaigning against bullying.

‘We hope it will be a family hideaway where my brothers and sisters can escape media attention when we need to,’ he said.

‘I can confirm that he [Michael] has been to Barnstaple on private visits in recent years along with my brother Jermaine and a few other Jackson siblings.

‘My family love North Devon and the wonderful countryside and friendly people. I am looking forward to living in Barnstaple and I hope the Barnstaple public will respect our family’s privacy.’

He says Michael, Janet and co are egging him on insisting North Devon can be used as a private escape for them all, saying: ‘Michael likes North Devon, too, as no one bothers him.’

Tito appears on British television as a judge on talent show It Takes Two.

This follows the news that a woman named Billy Jean Jackson (not related to the Jacksons) was arrested for trespassing –on the Neverland Ranch! The ranch and its contents are up for auction next Wednesday as creditors foreclose on the mortgage. This is not the first time Billy Jean has attempted to enter the property, but what she is searching for on the premises has not been revealed. She does claim to be Michael’s wife. Next time, Billy Jean should work on getting her hair done before she enters – this is a really unfortunate mug shot.

Note by Celebitchy: Here is Janet Jackson signing copies of her new CD “Discipline” at Virgin Megastore in Hollywood on 2/28/08. Doesn’t she look like one of the “Celebrities Without Necks“?

  1. lol!! Okay, she seems to be usually wearing a rubber corset, which covers a multitude of sins — so is this one of her “diet secrets”? I’m thinking the people of North Devon might be immune to and wary of the Jackson freakage, which might be the real reason they leave them alone. Course, if they move in town, all the pedophile-loving Michael Jackson Braindeads will follow him there. Poor town. I feel bad for them because of this.

  2. But but but I thought Eva Longoria was your favorite. Silly spammer.

    As for this hot mess of a family, that woman is so not michael’s type. She isn’t some dowdy white woman beard, a 32 year old little person, or a 12 year old kid.

    Let’s hope English parents are smarter than American ones and keep their kids away from him.

    Oh and Janet’s book, like we need to hear anymore about these freaks’ childhood, especially since Janet missed the assbeating terror of the original White Oprah AND I doubt she is going to admit to her many plastic surgeries. She better put that crap in the fiction section.

  7. White Oprah is a stage mother from hell who cares more about being the mother of a star than what stardom is doing to her children.

    Joe Jackson was exactly that and so much more. He was willing to beat down those children to get what he wanted.

    Color is irrelevant to my comparison and I’m actually a bit peeved that color would be the first place you would look for similarities.
