Madonna to collaborate with Justin Timberlake Source Article Yep, you read right, from one pop queen to the next, former mouseketeer and Nsync-er Justin Timberlake is to appear on Madonna’s new cd “Hard Candy”. Let’s just hope this collaboration doesn’t result in another half-time show for Timberlake, who scandalized one too many stuffy chair-dwellers and Christain families by tearing a rather important piece from Janet Jackson’s bodice during the halftime show at Superbowl XXXVIII. Madonna, who was recently inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, looks forward to the upcoming album, noting that she “really enjoyed writing with Justin”. [L/E/C]
Janet Jackson to release book Source Article: Janet Jackson recently came forward with a firm plan about a book she will write chronicling her up-and- down weight problems throughout her life. Jackson states her influences for writing as her fans. "Everybody asks me: men, women. ‘how did I do it’?" She has been quoted further saying that it is less of a “sterile, weight-loss-and-how-to-do-it book, but my journey…” she hopes that the book will help others find their way by showing them her own path to physical “success”. The book will be co-written with Janet Jackson’s nutritionist and is expected to be released at the end of the year. [L/E/C]
