As a former child star herself, Janet Jackson has often cited her early introduction into the world of show business as being the route cause of her long running battle with depression.

Now, in response to the news that her niece Paris has landed her very first movie role at the age of 13, the ‘Miss You Much‘ maestra has weighed in on the situation.

Her thoughts below…

Since she hit the scene back in 2008, Lady GaGa has been on the receiving end of many a criticism.

Labelled a copy-cat by sects of Madonna’s fan base and cited as being blasphemous by The Catholic League, Ms. Germanotta is one entertainer who very few have little to say about.

Now, readers of Billboard have shared their thoughts on ‘The Fame‘ singer.

They think she’s overrated.

Peep Nicole Scherzinger striking a pose in Allure magazine’s January issue. As ever, the 32 year old looks stunning.

However, while the former Pussycat Doll may be facing forward, we’re still nonethewiser as to whether that’s the direction her career’s heading in.

Having worked her ‘Killer Love’ LP to moderate success on this side of the pond, things remain uncertain Stateside. After a series of delays and failed singles, the US version of the album is supposedly set to hit stores next month. Yet without a hit single in sight and X Factor USA doing little to activate public interest, smart money would be on another delay. Something, if true, would see the retooled album arrive in stores (if it does at all) more or less a year after it initially dropped. A mucky mess.

Unfortunate, as she has the look, the voice, the moves, and the swagger. Yet, clearly late and lacking is her misguided material and any sort of connection with the record buying public. Will her new single ‘Pretty’ do the trick? Based on your comments, we would hold our breath…ay, ay.

Another pic awaits after the jump…

After the Platinum success of Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Motivation’ this Summer, it was a foregone assumption that the album that housed it (‘Here I Am’) would follow-suit.

Yet, as fate would have it, the LP went on to become more of a critical success than a commercial one. Having not really addressed the album’s standing publicly, Rowland finally shares her opinion on its performance in the latest issue of JET magazine.

Still proving that girls really do run this motha-, gal pals Katy Perry and Rihanna‘s reigns on singles charts just won’t let up.  The latter, finding herself atop Billboard Hot 100 for the 7th week with monster hit ‘We Found Love’ and the former getting one step closer to the top with ‘The One That Got Away’ (jumping from 9-4). By no means unfamiliar territory, the Bajan beauty’s previous efforts ‘Umbrella’ and ‘The Way You Lie’ both dominated the Hot 100 for 7 weeks with the help of hip-hop heavyweights Jay Z and Eminem respectively .  However, if Ms. Fenty manages to stay atop the chart for two more weeks she will best herself and tie fellow-talentless mannequin Ke$ha‘s ‘Tik Tok’ for the longest #1 run of the noughties.

And, while Perry’s ascension was undoubtedly assisted by the availability of her single for .69 cent purchase recently, the newly announced forthcoming B.O.B. remix to the song may give it that push it needs to notch her 6th #1 single.  If such happens, she will be the first artist in history to nab 6 #1 singles from one album (presently tying both Michael Jackson‘s 5 #1s and nearing Janet Jackson‘s 7 top ten singles from one album record).

Elsewhere on the singles charts, Adele and Christina/Maroon 5 move into the #7 and #8 spots respectively, Flo Rida‘s ‘Good Feeling’ makes good with #5, ‘Watch the Throne’ co-stars Jay Z and Kanye West watch the #6 spot, and T-Pain‘s ‘5 O’Clock’ crashes in at #10.  The album charts sees jazz crooner Michael Buble reasserting his domination as his holiday set moved an impressive 450-500k after nearly two months of release.  (source)
