According to Eurweb, Janet refused to do interviews or photographs on the red carpet at Usher’s 25th party because of her weight gain. She also wouldn’t allow “Access Hollywood” to shoot her while inside the venue.

Contrary to the rumours, it looks like Janet and JD are still firmly an item. They attended Usher’s 25th birthday party on Saturday at Pearl in West Hollywood with the likes of Jimmy Jam, Will Smith, Chilli from TLC and Janet’s co-star in Poetic Justice, Regina King.

As some of you will know, Janet was due to work with UK group Basement Jaxx on her last album, All For You. It now appears that one of the reasons the collaborations didn’t happen was because Janet confused them with another UK pair, Zero 7! We love you anyway Janet! Read the full article from The Times.

Producer Kayne West will be in the studio next week with Janet to work on a couple of songs for her upcoming album. Kayne coyly told MTV News: “I don’t want to talk about it before it comes out, but it’ll be unbelievable.” Read the full article at MTV.com

Artist Will Downing has covered Janet’s track Anything from The Velvet Rope on his new album Emotions. As well as reviving this track, one of the songs includes a sample of The Glow Of Love – the song that Janet samples heavily in her track All For You.

In the November 2003 issue of Source magazine, J.D. firmly states that he and Janet are still a couple:

With Da Brat squarely in his corner, other people seem to want to see J.D. away from the other lady in his life, Janet Jackson. In early September, the New York Daily News reported that Janet and Jermaine had been flying solo at different high-profile parties, and that after that she had broken up with Dupri via cellphone, a claim the J.D. laughingly denies.

“My problem with it is that niggas act like they [are] used to seeing Janet at every party, They gon’ say, ‘Well she didn’t come to the Puff Daddy party with J.D.,’ [but] you ain’t never seen Janet at no Puff Daddy party, so don’t get new ’cause she with me,” he says growing a little flustered. “This ain’t no Ben and Jen right here; that ain’t what we tryin’ to be. I don’t make money by promoting my romance.”

Welcome back to the new layout of Janet Love. What do you think? There are a whole bunch of cool new features – we particularly like the talking clock!

Unfortunately during the redesign we lost the dates on all the news items and so they are all posted under 10th October (the day when the site relaunched) but at least you can still read the old news!

Enjoy the new layout – particularly the updated multimedia section!
