That Grape Juice Interviews Janet Jackson

* Pinned: News Resumes As Usual Below *

Legendary. Iconic. Diva.

These are but a few of the terms oft employed to describe the incomparable Janet Jackson.

Alas, it was little surprise then to see the dizzy decibels a small New York crowd whipped up when the Pop royal made her first public appearance since the debut of her new svelte physique last Thursday (May 10^th 2012). The youngest of the Jackson clan came to see friend and fashion photographer Marco Glaviano’s Supermodels gallery.

That Grape Juice was on hand and fortunate enough to briefly catch up with the megastar. Ever keen to ask the questions you really want answers to, we probed Janet about her upcoming music and film work, reuniting with Jimmy Jam, her Nutrisystem diet, and even some of her geeky-tendencies.

Check out our EXCLUSIVE interview with icon Janet Jackson after the jump!

After scoring her second UK #1 single on Sunday, Rita Ora hit London Town with alleged boyfriend Rob Kardashian in celebration of the feat.

Joined by a small group of friends, the pair hit the city’s ‘Whisky Mist‘ greeted by paparazzi before they made their way in.

Ora’s sighting came hours after she beat Rihanna to become the first ‘ROC’ act to land two consecutive UK #1s, with her first two singles.
