    Werk Janet!

    But….quick question.

    Sam, I’m just curious as to why ThatShadeJuice hasn’t even made an attempt to touch on the whole “Beyonce, fake pregnancy” thing? I mean, U shade everyone else when u see fit. Whats the issue now?………..

    Is it because it’s ur fave?
    Is it because u EAT her s*** and feel she can do no wrong?
    Is it because you hate to admit that the b**** u WORSHIP is faking a pregnancy, just to be in the headlines and boost album sales?

    I mean, lets keep it real……she promoted that alledged baby bump more than she promoted ‘4’.

    But I mean hey……It’s Sam’s world and we just squirrels tryna get a n**, right?

    WRONG! REALITY IS A DEMANDING B****!

    “She need to go have some babies. She need to sit down, she fading!”

    Keri gave her SIMPLE instructions and the b**** STILL can’t do it right.

    My my my……Oh, and before you Beyonce stans EVEN get started, let me just say…

    YOU MAD, HUH?

    Oh and miss me wit the “Kelly is a copycat too” argument u f****** have been so amped to throw out there all week. It’s KNOT gonna change anything.
    *giggles*

    @REDBOTTOMDIARIES…

    because those rumors are a lie. Sunday Night will release footage of the interview from a different camera angle on Sunday to show that the bump is real.

  7. RedBottomDiaries October 14, 2011

    Also, to the person above me…..

    Sunday Night can post it from ANY angle….
    The fact remains that….A BIG STOMACH FULL OF BABY IS NOT GONNA FOLD, CREASE, SHIFT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF UR BODY AND POP BACK INTO PLACE WHEN U SIT DOWN!

  8. RedBottomDiaries October 14, 2011

    But heres the gagger……..How many times has ThatShadeJuice posted FALSE RUMORS…with NO follow-up on updates confirming them to be untrue? They go to great lengths to shade people they don’t like. But, it’s ok to PRETEND nothing is happening with the main b**** that keeps Sam’s queerolicious blood pumping day-in and day-out?

    Gerl……..Miss me and the several people behind me wit that foolery.

  9. nice_gurl October 14, 2011

    @REDBOTTOMDIARIES………….it will show that the dress creases up, and that it isn’t a fake baby bump that folds LOL. Molly Meldrum (the guy that interviewed her) and the producers and cameramen have all said that she was definitely pregnant and that those rumors are garbage. Here is what Molly said……….www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk6by1rlGSM

  10. RedBottomDiaries October 14, 2011

    Guess what? Hush money and confidentiality contracts work WONDERS!!!!

    LMFAO!!!!! They can SAY what they want. We all know what we SAW WITH OUR OWN EYES.

    The only people that are buying into this mess and defending it are….. *drum roll*
    BEYONCE STANS!!!!! Congrats!!!! Yay n stuff.

    So, let me save you a bunch of link posting, googling and wrinkled nose situations.
    Her fans are ALWAYS going to defend her….RIGHT, WRONG, OR INDIFFERENT!
    That’s a given. Clearly ur a stan so I will end this comment with this……

    WE (THE REST OF THE WORLD) DON’T BELIEVE HER, JAY-Z, THAT MEMORY FOAM BABY BUMP NOR THE KOREAN DUDE AT THE BEAUTY SUPPLY THAT SOLD IT TO HER 3 DAYS AFTER THE VMA’S. SHE NEEDS MORE PEOPLE!!!!!!!

    *giggles*

  11. nice_gurl October 14, 2011

    @REDBOTTOMDIARIES……….the footage that will air on Sunday will make everyone believe that she is pregnant……..EXCEPT for the Beyonce haters. I watched the part where she sat down in the interview three times before I realised that it was the dress. The camera angle makes it look wierd, but if you look really carefully you will see that it is just the dress.

  12. RedBottomDiaries October 14, 2011

    Let me also say this….

    If Beyonce’ didn’t want all this bad publicity surrounding her “pregnancy”, then the b**** shouldn’t have jumped on the VMA’S talking about it. She should have kept it quiet, let people assume and THEN announce it when it’s obvious its no longer a secret. But, leave it up to her to do stunts and shows. The stunts i’m speaking on include:

    Being this “mysterious” private person who keeps a VERY tight-lip when it comes down to herself, her marriage and her family…..but yet, now she wants to the highest highes and the lowest, funniest lows to show/prove she’s pregnant?

    Also, it doesn’t seem a bit suspicious that she came out…AFTER it became clear that her recent album is her lowest selling, worst performing album EVER?

    #publicitystunt

    Nothing more. Nothing less.

  13. nice_gurl October 14, 2011

    @REDBOTTOMDIARIES…………you’re gonna hate no matter what. I’m just gonna say that it is clear that she is pregnant and has been for a while…….having to cancel the show in London and schedule for the next day (probs because she was sick), wearing loose outfits and getting thinner then curvier (sickness made her thinner then she started to get pregnancy curves), and that was all before she announced her pregnancy. Why would she fake pregnancy just for album sales?? It created more sales for a couple of weeks, then the sales have been dropping, because she is unable to do performances or tour.

  14. MaZ October 14, 2011

    @ REDBOTTOMDIARIES

    You are worst than a Beyoncé stan! Why discussing Beyoncé “Fake pregnancy” on a Janet Jackson post?

    Anyway you gotta love Janet! Beautiful and sweet lady!

  15. RedBottomDiaries October 14, 2011

    Correction: I’m going to speak the GOSPEL no matter who they are and how much I like them. I call b******* when I see it. With that said…..

    LMFGBAOOOOOO!!! @ LOSING WEIGHT while pregnant.
    The thing is, all the “morning sickness” and sickness from here and there…..damn sure isn’t going to make you lose weight because what you throw up, you eat ALOT more than that the rest of the day. So, if anything, her weight would fluctuate a COUPLE pounds until she either started giving into the cravings or her child started GROWING. Riddle me this…..
    How was her stomach flat last week, but now she looks 6 months pregnant the next?

    Don’t say she was using some sort of body slimming product (because she will get DRAGGED for putting her child in danger and will also get dragged for being so selfish that she couldn’t just let her pregnant body be great).

    Don’t say that the interview was taped A WHILE back, so she used a fake stomach to match up with how she looks NOW. If thats the case, #operationFAIL

    Don’t say she is using a fake belly to ‘exaggerate” and “hype up” how far along due she is…..Because honestly, WHO DOES THAT?

    But hey……whatever you need to tell yourself to go to sleep at night, right?

    @MAZ

    I brought it up on a Janet thread because I know Janet is one of Sam’s faves and he would read thru every comment and catch a gulp of the REAL TEA! I just find it funny as hell when his fave is backed into a corner, he ignores it. Yet, he will make it his life duty to shade/drag/ and defame other entertainers he doesn’t like. Don’t be a hypocrite. If u are in the celebrity/music blogging business….then BLOG ABOUT IT ALL! Don’t single someone out because they are ur idol and u have bootleg connections to them thru ragedy ass “sources” (the janitor) at Sony music. If his approach to this blog is “keeping it real and unbiased”, then he should do JUST THAT! KEEP IT ALL THE WAY FUNKY! I’m not the first person to speak out about the B******* this site serves up, nor will I be the last.

    @RedBottomDiaries

    I was under the impression that the writers of the site stan for Kelly Rowland. Beyonce doesn’t necessarily get AS MANY favorable posts as Kelly.

  18. Late October 14, 2011

    Now on to the MATTER AT HAND…
    Janet looks great in this clip. I regret not going when she was in my city. I didn’t go because none of my friends had the $ to buy their own tickets!

    First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!
