It is almost the 40th anniversary of Janet Jackson's debut album and the artist has decided to celebrate by starring and being executive producer of a four-hour documentary on her career and personal life.
The documentary about Jackson's life and career is going to be broadcast simultaneously on Lifetime and A&E in early 2022, which marks the 40th anniversary of Jackson's self-titled 1982 debut album. At the time of recording the album, the singer was just 16-years-old.
The documentary will be titled Janet and will reveal unprecedented new elements of Jackson's life.
Jackson is one of the most profitable artists in the entertainment industry. But the singer experienced turbulent moments in her life, like the death of her brother Michael Jackson, deceased in 2009, and her father Joseph Jackson, who passed away in 2018.
Furthermore, the recent documentary Framing Britney Spears has put light on the incident of the 2004 Super Bowl, which saw Jackson in great difficulty when part of her clothing was removed showing her right breast. Timberlake had described the situation as a "wardrobe malfunction" at the time. In the new documentary, Jackson will open up about this vicissitude.
And the documentary won't just focus on these hard and controversial topics, but will also explore the singer's career and the feelings of becoming a mother.
Mark your calendars everyone! Janet, the four-hour documentary about Janet Jackson, will arrive in early 2022 on Lifetime and A&E!
Singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen was arrested in New Jersey on DWI charges in November, according to TMZ.
According to law enforcement officials, Springsteen was arrested on November 14th for DWI, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area. He was picked up by law enforcement in Sandy Hook, New Jersey.
According to multiple sources, this arrest was the result of a tequila shot Springsteen shared with fans he ran into while in the area. The singer was cooperative with law enforcement and this appears to be the 71 year old's first encounter with police.
This news comes directly after Springsteen was featured in a Super Bowl ad for Jeep, which has been pulled as a result of this news.
"It would be inappropriate for us to comment on the details of a matter we have only read about and we cannot substantiate, but it's also right that we pause our Big Game commercial until the actual facts can be established." a statement from Jeep said.
