Janet Jackson DISHES On NutriSystem, Dr. Conrad Murray And Paris Jackson + Paris Jackson Talks To "Ellen" About Wearing A Mask As A Kid

Dec 15 | by _YBF

Pop icon Janet Jackson appeared on “GMA” to talk about her role as the new spokeswoman for Nutrisystem and to reveal her feelings about the Dr. Conrad Murray verdict.

Also, she talks about her niece Paris’ Hollywood dreams. See the interview inside and also watch Paris Jackson on "Ellen" talking about her new film and wearing masks as a child.

Janet Jackson, the new NutriSystem spokeswoman, appeared on "GMA" recently where she talked about a range of issues from weight to Dr. Conrad Murray. As she did in her True You bestseller, she revealed that while we saw a sex symbol, she didn't like what she saw in the mirror.

On her body image -

“I didn’t like it. We always find something wrong with us, somewhere. I could really easily pick myself apart and that’s what I did.”

On finding confidence with her body image later in life -

“I’m able to look in the mirror. I couldn’t do that before. I’m very grateful to be able to do what I love most, what I really feel I was here to do, and that’s to help others.”

On Dr. Conrad Murray's guilty verdict -

“It doesn’t bring my brother back—that would be the ultimate—but the best was done at that moment.

On Paris Jackson's budding acting career -

“I’m happy for her because this is what she wants to do. I told her you should really take this time to enjoy your youth to its fullest because you lose so much of your childhood in this industry.”

Watch Janet on "GMA" here:

Also on television......

On "Ellen" Paris Jackson revealed that she has landed a role in a Hollywood movie and wants to become an actress. The future superstar also revealed that she thought wearing"masks" as a child was stupid but realized her Dad (Michael) on wanted to protect her. It's interesting that she seems so "normal." Michael was obviously a good father.

This site is called The Young

This site is called The Young Black and Fabulous not The Young PuertoRican and Fabulous. Go away elstupida! You would respond to the most ignorant COMMENTER known to man! I am a black woman w/ no kids by choice so are both of my sister's. BY CHOICE DUMB ASS! SORRY I CAN NOT RELATE TO THE COMMENTS ABOUT HAVING A FAMILY MEMBER ADDICTED TO DRUGS BUT I CAN SYMPATHIZE W/ ALL WHO HAVE BUT I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THAT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. LET ME BREAK IT TO YOU PEOPLE ALL BLACK PEOPLE DON'T COME FROM THE SAME PLACE. WE COME FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS W/ DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES PERIOD! Another thing hispanics always have people who are different shades from very light to very dark and it is accepted but, when people like Paris comes along we say no she's not black. WE ARE THE MAIN PEOPLE THAT HAVE A RAINBOW OF COLORS AND COMPLEXIONS APART OF OUR RACE BUT WHY ARE WE ALWAYS THE FIRST TO CAST THE STONE AND REJECT PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE HER FROM OUR RACE. PEOPLE IN THE USA BLACK IS BLACK PERIOD. LOOK UP ACTRESS FREDERICKA WASHINGTON (FREDI) THE FIRST ACTRESS THAT PLAYED IN THE IMITATION OF LIFE AS (PEOLA). SHE LOOKED WHITE BUT GUESS WHAT SHE WAS A BLACK WOMEN WHO COULD HAVE PASSED AND WAS APPROACHED BY WHITES TO PASS BUT SHE STRONGLY IDENTIFIED HER SELF AS A PROUD BLACK WOMEN. WE COME IN ALL DIFFERENT SHADES OF THE RAINBOW. LET'S EMBRACE OUR DIFFERENCES INSTEAD OF REJECTING THEM. TIMES ARE CERTAINLY DIFFERENT FROM FREDI WASHINTON'S ERA TO THE PRESENT. IF PARIS IDENTIFIES HER SELF AS BLACK AND SHE DOES WHY DO WE AS BLACKS HAVE TO HAVE AN ISSUE W/ THAT! JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT BLACK PEOPLE LOOK LIKE FREDIE WASHINGTON AND PARIS JACKSON FROM THE VERY LIGHTEST TO THE DARKEST AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! GET OVER IT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Don't care what anyone says. I think Paris and Blanket are Michael's bio kids they look so much like him to me. Of course all three are his children because he raised them, I just think those two actually look like him.

LOVE Janet. Michael and Janet

LOVE Janet. Michael and Janet were both "self conscious". But they are also the two most succesful from the Jackson dynasty. Janet and Michael mirror each other; in terms of their pain and gifting. The tone of their voice, their humility, their intensity; its so similar. But I find it beautiful. I find that the greatest of all souls go through some form of darkness or insecurity. I am forever inspired by her and Michael. God bless her; at 40+ she looks incredible and will for her lifetime.

Janet is my girl and I luv

Janet is my girl and I luv her music. How many time must we discuss her weight issues, her I had no childhood etc. Janet has low self esteem issues. Janet interviews are never upbeat and exciting she always plays that sympathy role. Janet is one of the most beautiful women in the world it's time to get over those same old issues. Get some new business ventures cloths line, perfume line something that make you happy and change the focus. It's time.

If only God could bring MJ

If only God could bring MJ back 'wearing masks was stupid'? really? she's obviously just too young to understand why her father did that and it looks like people around her aren't telling her how cruel the industry is. This might just be the beginning of the end of her innocent am sure that's not what MJ wanted. God I don't know why I feel so sad about this i actually have tears in my eyes. The media is all nice on her right now but give it time before she's been trashed and dogged by the media and everybody just like we did with her father. I wish Mama Jackson will take them far far away from hollywierd MJ must be really sad on his grave right now

as a JanetStan, I know it's a burden. Despite selling over 100 million records, having 5 successful movies, countless awards, she has to continuously talk about her family in every interview.

You must be ugly and stupid to not get my point dumbazz, Star Jones lied about her weight loss and Hollyweird had Libo Surgery Capital of the World. Young girls are not giving a proper image on how your body should look and develop eating disorders. Pick up any magazine and the model looks like they are from Ethopia.

Preach! People keep swearing

Preach! People keep swearing my daughter is only Puerto Rican she doesn't even get "Dominican" like my father, but idiots fail to realize Black people all across the globe are mostly mixed with something. Ergo why my child has hazel eyes even though no one of her father's side does, but I have two uncles with green eyes. Back in the day my grandfather beat my grandmother everytime she gave birth to a light skinned, curly haired, hazel or green eyed child. Poor lady prayed for dark babies, and out of 12 got only 3 dark skinned babies...imagine her life?
