Behind The Scenes: Janet’s ‘Essence’ Shoot

As previously reported, Pop royalty Janet Jackson posed it up for Essence magazine recently. Prior to the issue hitting news-stands next week, you can now preview of the 44 year old’s shoot – which features CSI Miami star Adam Rodriguez.

Peep the video below…

As ever Janet looked stunning! I would have loved to see Ms. Jackson rock her new short do (ala American Idol). However, she looks great nonetheless.

Your thoughts?

    Notice how it’s Essence and not People or Vogue….

    Oh well, I guess it’s good that ol’ wahed up Janet she can still work the chitlin’ circuit, now that mainstream America considers her passé and irrelevant.

  15. ALLAN July 2, 2010

    lol You guys really think Riri and other acts today will last longer then Janet career has?? lol

    I have never seen a Janet album go for $3.99. Hate all you want but Janet is going to be here till she is 80.

  16. Chaz July 2, 2010

    @JMO what are you talking about? Janet covered Harper’s Bizarre earlier this year! Get your facts straight boo! And also it is alleged that Janet is being offered the most amount of money ever to perform at a New Year’s Eve concert in Hawaii so be gone with your hateration!

  17. Keith July 2, 2010

    She looks great and I can’t wait for tonight’s performance. I’m in New Orleans and from what I’ve seen so far, this crowd doesn’t look like Janet’s typical audience. It also looks like the show will look great on video….

  18. SoBombDotCom July 2, 2010

    Janet looks AMAZING !! Her short cut would have ROCKED IT !!!! But she looks beautiful as always 🙂 and Adam Rodriguez?? HOT !!! Lol LOVE U MISS.JACKSON !

    TheOnlyone92 on twitter, you know I spoke to you b**** so f****** give it up sweetie.

  23. Verve July 2, 2010

    She’s majorly played out. I can’t remember the last time I heard a song of hers played on the radio. It’s been like a decade or something.

  24. sean2009 July 2, 2010

    Verve

    Stop the lies m***** black s****. They still play her music on radio.

    How is she played out when uk plays her videos and music all the time?
    How come she still doing movies?
    How come her sales have increased?
    How come she has over 40 number ones in her career?

    Lol when will you ever be played out? Lol can you do what she did in her career hun?

    Of course not. Lol your a s****

  25. Verve July 2, 2010

    And you’re delusional. Janet is so “late 80s.” Her music is dated and doesn’t play on the radio at all anymore. She’s two decades past her peak. No one cares anymore but her stuck-in-the-past stans who’re oblivious the fact that time has moved on for the rest of the world.

  26. Andrew July 2, 2010

    ^wtf are you blabbing about Verve

    Janet looks amazing
    I LOVE her smile :]

  27. ILLBACKHANDAB|TCHTRYME July 2, 2010

  28. JJFAN1814 July 2, 2010

    YALL DIDNT LISTEN TO VERVE, HE/SHE PROBABLY STAN FOR SOMEONE LIKE KE$HA LOL!

  29. Caitlin July 3, 2010

    Verve should just move on, seriously. They’re obviously ignoring the fact that Janet is an ICON, and the eighties has fantastic music.
    Queen Janet, all the way 😀
    By the way, she looks fantastic.

  30. Caitlin July 3, 2010

    JJFAN1814, LOL, You’re probably right! xD
