Janet Jackson Opens Up About Grieving Michael Jackson

Janet Jackson was so thankful she landed a role in 'Why Did I Get Married Too?' because of one particular scene. The singer / actress says she found smashing items with a golf club rather therapeutic and it actually helped her get some of her frustration out about losing her brother, Michael.

"Bashing up that stuff with the golf club, I enjoyed that. I needed it and it came at the right time.
"After reading the script and then going through what had happened in my own family, I was really thankful for the opportunity to completely let go of some things, to just unleash."

Janet, 44, was working on the film - in which she plays a grieving mother - at the time of Michael's death, and even flew back to the set the day after his funeral as she thought it was important to continue working, despite her devastation. She added in an interview with the Daily Record newspaper:

"I left the service that night, jumped on a plane, and was on set the next day. Life goes on. You have to as well. You can't just stop. It's not healthy."

Some might say that is too soon, but everyone has their own process.
Janet also praised Tyler Perry for being there to support her during her time of need.

"Tyler was constantly calling me to see how I was doing. He asked me, 'How do you want to be treated on set?' And I said, 'The way they treated me, no differently.'
"And that's exactly what it was. They thought it was important they didn't bring up what had happened, and that was fine with me."

My thoughts are still with Janet and her family.  (imnotobsessed)

Janet Jackson says there is nothing wrong with dating younger men.

The 44-year-old singer-and-actress says it's her prerogative if she wants to go out with younger guys and insists an age gap shouldn't get in the way of love.

Janet - the sister to the late Michael Jackson - has recently been linked to millionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana who is almost a decade younger than her.

Speaking about the criticism that comes with having a toy boy, Janet said: "It's horrible. It's really awful.

"And I have to believe it was a man that started that. Mother always raised us to believe that age was just a number. All of us - my sisters, my brothers - we'll just tell you our ages because it's all about where you are mentally and how you feel about yourself."

Janet - who is the youngest of the Jackson family - believes she is more confident now than ever before.

The star - who was in a seven-year relationship with music producer Jermaine Dupri - added in an interview with Essence magazine: "There comes a time when you don't give an 'F' what people say or think. You just do your thing because it's finally about you and not in a selfish way but in a great way." (celebrityrush)
