TODAY (OCT. 10): Janet Plans Weight-Loss Book

THE FACTS:
• During a roundtable for the new Tyler Perry film, Why Did I Get Married, Janet Jackson confirmed that as of now long-term collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are not taking part on her upcoming album.

• Jackson also discussed plans to write a book documenting her struggles with weight.

THE SPIN:
Janet Jackson is breaking my heart. I understand the need to work with new producers who can help craft a sound that actually sells, but why not work with the people that have consistently given you quality music? Does Janet want me to use that $10 I intended to spend on her album for something at Chili’s instead?

Right now, Janet’s working with the all of the hitmakers of the moment, like Ne-Yo, Polow Da Don, Pharrell, and Rodney Jerkins with the hopes that the people that didn’t buy 20. Y.O. (people actually in their 20s) will buy this time around. She’s also working with boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri. I heard her last album, and I know who produced what, and while I’m sure they have all the chemistry in the world on a date, it didn’t sound that way on the album. Don’t shoot me hate mail. I’m just saying.

When she’s not trying to regain relevance in pop music, she’s penning a book detailing her fluctuations in weight over the years.

Jackson said she will reveal steps she took "nutrition-wise" to shed pounds "when she needed to," but cautions readers that "it's different for everyone."

I suggest the title, "Plastic Surgery: God’s Gift to Rich People."
