The Story Repeats Itself: Janet Jackson Gained Weight, Yet Again
July 3, 2008 in General, Janet Jackson by Versus
In her recent appearances, Janet has been wearing many tight corsets or elastic belts, black outfits and smart fabrics and cuts in order to camouflage the weight gain, though on this occasion, her weight gain became pretty visible in her arms, breasts, shoulders and face.
Not even two weeks ago, Janet was on the cover of Life&Style magazine, accompanied by a title that was saying “Janet’s Plan to Lose the Pounds in Days” – well, that might be the trick right there: in DAYS?? Maybe if Janet was thinking to lose the pounds not in days, but in months (although such a title wouldn’t have made it on the cover), then she would be able to maintain her weight easier.

Janet should be writing a book about flop albums. I wouldn’t take weight advice from her, she is the female LUTHER VANDROSS.
1. Wow she is beautiful! Let’s just get that out of the way.
2. She is writing the book because for years she’s been asked to. Not because she thinks shes some weight loss guru that knows it all. Which is probably why she didnt release one when asked initially. Because she knew people would say “why the hell would I take tips from her”. Its not up to her to make sure you keep up with a routine but I would welcome any tips from her. Also its gonna be more than just a do this do that type of book. She’s going to include how she gains weight and why she eats and why she yo-yo’s. So there just might be something in the book about her flops just for you.
P.S. Crap article, crap comment. Loved the pics.
^ I totally agree with Fawn
Please who cares about this woman. She is yesterdays news!
She’s human.
Mamabell if she’s yesterdays news why are you commenting on her today?
People fans or not will ALWAYS care/be interested about this woman because she interesting,entertaining,undeniable,pretty and talented. When shes on a mag it sells like crazy when she does late night people stay up to watch. Wether they own all her CDs or 0. Janet been at this since 75′ and is still being talked about and photographed TODAY. So even though you claim
you dont care there are plenty of people anticipating work from this woman. Music movies a weight loss book a baby a appearance you name it.
Yes crap article
love thick Janet miss old school Janet and think jd needs upgraded
Well there are at least 7 people interesed in her lmao!
You all are taking this too serious.
Is that Fran and Jan in the background?
Janet has NOT gained weight!!!! That pic has been doctored to make her appear larger. Dont believe everything you read, especially from trash news!
#5, get a grip. Janet is washed up, face it! She can sell magazines but can she sell albums? What’s the stats for DISCIPLINE?
#8 – ummmmm let see….how many albums have you sold????? 100 MILLION ++++!!!!!
Dont think so!!!!! What are YOUR stats! Probably a SORRY BROKE A$$ HATER!!!!!
#9, lets count Janets flops. 1st and 2nd album flopped so bad, she tries to act like they don’t exist. last three flopped. That is a total of 5. Wait, she only has 10 albums. I guess she is the new Latoya! Hater I am not, just truthful. Don’t try to push that flop woman off on people. Her tour will flop too!
Mike, I can assure you that these pictures have NOT been edited by skinnyvscurvy.
Plastic I have a very good grip. Yes there are 3 flop albums in a row and Janet will never sell again like she use to. But she is far from washed up and people must still be interested or we would not be talking about her right now nor would her tour be selling well. I didnt post and say Janet is ‘it’ and that sells are going great I just wanted mamabell to know people are still interested in Janet Jackson. She’s had great hit albums great hit songs and has a love from a fan base like no other celebrity in Hollywood history. So what she can’t sell 13 million copies of a cd anymore been there done that. People STILL go ape shit at the sight of her. No one is pushing her off on you. Dont like? Well dont listen dont buy dont read.
Had the Superbowl fiasco not occured, this woman would still be selling in the millions and still be pumping out top 5 singles (there have been many songs on these past so called ‘flops’ that would have been had she not been dumped by radio as punishment for what happened). And before anyone says she brought it on herself, what about Madonna? Puts out a sex book that shows her nude with a pig with an erection and what did everyone say? What a great business woman. Janet has been slammed cause she is black and because she is Michael’s sister – no other reason.
She is beautiful – large or small – and she deserves a break. It’s way over due that she got one!

I subscribe to what Kevin said – he’s right..
People will say what they will, but everyone knows love goes on forever, and hateful comments mean nothing. It saids way more about the person speaking ugly,about a persons human condition. We are all subject to weight gain, or some other challenge we must over come. So before you say incrediby insentitive remarks about anyone, just remember, each and everyone of us are dealing with some difficulties in life.
Jenent is a yo-yo dieter, but when she’s in shape; she’s in shape!
Typo! Janet is a yo-yo dieter, but when she’s in shape; she’s in shape!
Janet is far from a flop. Her “Flop” records still sell higher then a majority of the artists. From Control on they out sold all artists. She has been in the entertainment industry giving her all far longer then today’s copy cat, a-typical, nothing original artists that did not originate. Her songs also get longer play then other artists, with her classic songs still played and still popular in clubs.
As far as weight gain. Yes she was heavy in the last tour. However this is what friends and fans have said. I have said, as well as others that know from years of experience. IT is alright to be weak and let yourself go once and awhile, just get back in step and focused.
I’m a dancer. I have yo yo’d myself and I’m male. Recently I gained after injury, steroid injections, pain killers, but you know what. Who cares.I out dance most and drop it in a month or two at 37.
To everyone who’s hating on her: so what if she gained weight? She’s a real woman, isn’t she? And women gain weight. Her family has suffered a huge loss with the passing of MJ – when your brother dies, your highest priority is not your weight. Just FYI.
