Janet quits Lena film

Variety.com reports that Janet has quit her role in the Lena Horne biography voluntarily. In addition, both producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have also chosen to leave the film but have stated that they are eager to work with Janet on a similar project:

In the latest ripple caused by Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl exposure, the singer has abruptly withdrawn from an ABC biopic about Lena Horne — putting the project in limbo.
Storyline Entertainment partners Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have ankled as exec producers in solidarity with Jackson, who was due to play Horne.

A spokeswoman for Jackson said she was effectively dis-invited from the movie by Horne and her daughter Gail Lumet Buckley, who were incensed when Jackson flashed during the halftime show. Horne refused to return her contract for the pic until ABC guaranteed that Jackson was off the project, which is being produced by Storyline and Sony Pictures Television. ABC execs refused Horne’s demand, but the issue has become moot with the reaction of Jackson, Zadan and Meron.

Alphabet insiders said the project is now up in the air; barring another superstar casting, however, it’s unlikely to move forward.

“It’s sad this had to happen. It was a perfect match,” one ABC insider said.

The Super Bowl stunt has had far reaching implications. The FCC is investigating, and broadcasters have in turn tightened the screws to eliminate the chance of another unscripted surprise that could shock and offend mass audiences.

Stormy weather was rumored to be brewing over the ABC biopic early last week, as word surfaced that Horne’s displeasure hadn’t abated. At the time, it was hoped that the singers would meet and that the duet would end harmoniously. But Horne refused to meet with Jackson.

Jackson looked at the movie as a prestigious way to jumpstart her acting career, which has included roles in 1970s sitcom “Good Times” and John Singleton’s “Poetic Justice.” She was recently photographed as Horne in a glamorous Vanity Fair layout.

Zadan and Meron left the project right after Jackson, and a spokeswoman for the producers said they would concentrate on finding another project to do with the singer.

It’s not surprising they stuck by Jackson. While ABC already had optioned a Horne bio, it wasn’t until Jackson approached the producers that the project became a film on the fast track.

Jackson signed to play the elegant singer who broke racial barriers, and she also planned to re-record some of Horne’s classic songs.

“She is someone I’ve admired my whole life,” Jackson said of Horne when the project was greenlit last fall.

Roy Campanella Jr. was set to direct Shirley Pierce’s script based on “Lena,” the autobiography the singer wrote with Richard Schickel.

Diane Sawyer to interview Janet

From New York Daily News: It’s been almost a month since the rip seen ’round the world, when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson’s breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl halftime show on CBS. Jackson has gone on camera to apologize for the flap – for which the Federal Communications Commission is considering fines on CBS – but the pop diva has yet to submit to a televised grilling. Now I’ve heard that Diane Sawyer has beat out the competition, including her ABC News colleague Barbara Walters, for the right to sit down with the pop diva for a “Prime Time” show in mid-March. That is, just in time for the release of Jackson’s latest CD. ABC News and Sawyer declined to comment yesterday. “She can’t talk about an interview that she hasn’t done yet,” a spokesman told me.

I Want You: New Janet Track

Apologies for not posting sooner but I have been away for the last few days:

A new Janet track, I Want You, has been leaked to the internet and digitally released to radio. Stations across the globe are being sent the song today and will be playing it within the next few days, if not already.

The song, produced and written by Kanye West also credits Harold Lilly and John Legend as writers.

As of yet, Just A Little While, is still scheduled for release as the official single in most countries with I Want You appearing as a double A-side.

Here are the unofficial lyrics to the new track:

Verse 1

Feels like I’m going in circles
Your like a maze I can’t get through
Should I go left
Should I go right
Should I let you
Stay for the night

Bridge

It’s like a seesaw when it comes to your love
Boy when you’re up
This girl is down
And I just can’t figure it out

Chorus

Cos you know that I want you
(Yea)
And you know that I need you
(Yea)
Is that any way to be
Just have your way with me
My body is crying
(Yea)
These tears can you wipe em
(Yea)
Is that any way to be
Just have your way with me

Verse 2

I’m going out with guys
I don’t wanna go to places that I’ve been before
(They’re pitchin the same game)
Boy it’s a damn shame
(How I wish it was you)
Calling me
(I want it to be you)
Holdin me
(Boy it needs to be you)
Kissing me

Bridge

Cos it’s like a seesaw when it comes to your love
Boy when you’re up
This girl is down
And I just can’t figure it out

Chorus

Cos you know that I want you
(Yea)
And you know that I need you
(Yea)
Is that any way to be
Just have your way with me
My body is crying
(Yea)
These tears can you wipe em
(Yea)
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me

Break

Have your way with me
(Have your way with me)
Anytime anywhere
Have your way
However I don’t care
Have your way with me
(Have your way with me)
Me and you can have it tonight
For tonight
Boy tonight
Tonight

Chorus

Cos you know that I want ya
Yea
And you know that I need ya
Yea
Is that any way to be
Just have your way with me
My body is crying
Yea
These tears can you wipe em
Is that any way to be
Just have your way with me

(Repeat chorus)
