Janet Jackson and boyfriend Jermanie Dupri were seen leaving the Christian Lacroix Spring/Summer 2009 couture fashion show in Paris. Janet also wore those in-demand Yves Saint Laurent leopard-print peep-toes that Meagan Good, Jada Pinkett Smith, Erykah Badu, and Christina Aguilera were all seen in earlier.



You already know JD uploaded a new video blog about their Paris experience. This time around Janet made two brief cameos in the beginning and the very end of the clip:



Janet's "Discipline" record sales may be dismal but her "Rock Witchu" concert tickets are not. In fact Janet's tour ticket seller with Live Nation said Janet's tickets are selling better than Madonna. Here's the hoopla via THE BALTIMORE SUN: But hopes are still high for Jackson's tour at Live Nation. She's a tour record-breaker, having grossed more than $100 million in her career.

So why is Jackson apparently selling well while only half of the seats at Madonna's L.A. show have been sold? Her tickets are cheaper than Madonna's, ranging from $46 to $126 at the Izod Center in New Jersey, for example, where Jackson performs Oct. 17. And, unlike Madonna, who almost always favors her new material in shows, Jackson is willing to do the fan-favorite hits.

"We're very happy with the ticket sales," said a Live Nation spokesman. "She hasn't complained about us. Thank God."

Anyone who waited since her "All For You" tour to see Janet live is another major factor. I cannot wait to grab my set of tickets or possibly catch it live on HBO.



On the fashion tip: If you're loving Janet's croc-embossed bag, try this metallic python handbag over at INTERMIXONLINE.COM. Janet wore this bag last December at a Waverly Inn dinner date with her Island Def Jam boss L.A. Reid.
