On Newsstand: Janet in Ok! Magazine
Janet opens up about her relationship with JD. I like how each new photoshoot of hers is getting better and better. She seems so in love with JD. I laughed when she said JD doesn't know how to make his own bed!
Here's some highlights of Janet's Ok! Magazine interview:
On her new album...
OK: What does this new album mean to you?
Janet: It's history for me--20 years since the release of Control. It was a point in my life where I came to a crossroads. The biggest issue for me was making the decision to fire my father [Joe Jackson] as my manager, asking to be let out of my contract and wanting to do it on my own.
On her relationship with Jermaine...
OK: What is special about Jermaine to you?
Janet: Everything. Honestly, this is a really different relationship.
OK: Why is it so different from the past?
Janet: I never had someone who stands on their own feet--they always leaned on me. They pushed into my life. When someone was causing me drama, I used to let it go. It was also very ugly. But with Jermaine it's different.
On falling in love...
OK: How did you and Jermaine meet?
Janet: On the Rhythm Nation tour. But he didn't woo me then. I was married. We became friends. He did the remix to "Someone to Call My Lover" which was ironic. He says to this day that he wsn't making a pass at me. We never went out on a date. It just happened.
On what she finds cute about Jermaine...
OK:What do you and Jermaine bicker about?
Janet: He calls me spoiled! Jermaine Is an only child, so everything was done for him. Whatever he takes off stays right where it is. My parents made us pick up after ourselves. They'd make us clean the whole yard on Saturdays, wash clothes, vaccum. That kept us grounded. I am always picking up after Jermaine. You can always see when his stuff is everywhere. He'd never even made a bed before.
OK: Really?
Janet: So he finally made his first bed! Once in a while, he will surprise me by making it. He'll be sitting on top of it with this big smile on his face to make sure I noticed, and he's made it so sloppily. It's too cute!
