Janet Jackson Tell-All in the Works

Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson is reportedly dealing with the death of her brother Michael by putting her thoughts on paper.

According to a new report, Janet is writing a tell-all book about her family, and about Michael’s untimely death.

A publishing industry insider tells In Touch Weekly, “She is going to talk about Michael’s death and how it’s affected her and his children and the rest of the family.”

The source adds, “A lot of it will focus on her battle with self-esteem and weight. She’s a huge success. But that’s not always what she has seen when she looks in the mirror, so the book will talk about how she has coped, and about her family relationships. She wants to help other young women out there.”

Sound like a good book! She’s not focusing the entire project solely on the death of Michael. It sounds like it will be a good balance between talking about her own life, her family, and finally Michael.

The book is reportedly due out sometime next year.

I normally read these things and refrain from posting a comment. However, I am now compelled to pen that "enough is ENOUGH!" I am referring to our arrogance whenever we stand (or sit) in judgment from the outside and point our fingers at others as they grieve. How dare we assume that for one instant we can vaguely imagine what others are going through when they suffer the loss of a precious family member? How we be so blind as to think that we could judge by vague external actions that these come about because those who perform them are not grieving? As one who lost her best friend and fiance suddenly and unexpectedly; I can directly attest to the indescribable, life-altering, insufferably excruciating torment that a person goes through...and at nearly 53 years of age, I am convinced that nothing that I will ever suffer will equal that experience. I can also attest to the FACT that family members grieve very differently...strangely...and in ways not easily understood--yet, their pain is also a indescribable, life-altering, insufferably excruciating torment. In fact, the more some are in pain, the more they seem detached...aloof...and even "cold", as they desperately try to coop with an ache so intense that they feel that they too will die. Do not be so foolish as to judge the pain of others by the superficial "sound bytes" of what you read, hear and see in the media. At best, you are given tiny pieces of a complex jigsaw puzzle that you can never truly piece together to form an accurate whole. Simply observe...reflect...and go about smoothing the wrinkles in your own life--and above all else--live your own life well. Male a positive difference in this life. Die at peace with your soul and your maker.

@myholly: The rest of the family is suffering??? Really? What about the reality show that some of the brothers have planned? What about Joe Jackson's announcement of new business ventures at a press conference DAYS after Michael's death? What about Jermaine's ownership of Smile, which he sang at the memorial? The list goes on and on, hun. How dare you accuse Janet of exploiting Michael! She's one of the few jacksons who's staying out of it. Even when Michael was alive, she would refuse to talk about him, so as to show the world that she wasn't interested in riding his coattails. She's actually one of the very few who IS suffering. And how dare you call her a cow! Way to kick someone when they're down. I would love to know what you look like.

I met Janet once. She was very nice to me, unusually so. I would advise her not to write about Michael in this book...or his children. Many people are waiting to claim this is just another exploitation of Michael's death...and I would hate to see Janet accused of that. The person I met, is wonderful, and is the person who the book should be about...and just her, alone. I think if she excuses herself, in the book, by saying that she will not write about her brother's passing, the public will completely understand, and cheer her. Thank you for being kind to me Janet. Not very many people have been kind to me in my life. My advice here, is my effort to give that kindness...in return, to you.

Neither Janet nor anyone else in the "family" will ever tell the truth when it comes ot the whacked out drug addled junkie freak that used to be Micheal Jackson.

Because, as always seems to be the case with this site, In Touch is so reliable. NOT. This story is probably not even true. Why do you insist on reporting stories from the least reliable tabloids out there as fact.

Selling her soul to the Devil! Writing this book for the money when her brother is dead and her family is suffering...SHAME on you, you FAT COW! No one wants to read about your fight against stuffing your face with macaroni and cheese and chocolate fudge Ripple! How dast you, Fat Janet?!?

She is, by the way, the most beautiful woman on the planet! I hope she knows that! :)

I love her! She's always been such a big influence in my life. I have always identified with her, especially when it comes to the pressures of being a young woman who doesn't feel like she "fits in" physically, etc. It makes sense that it wouldn't focus solely on Michael, as she announced on Oprah years ago that she doesn't want to talk about her brother...and that their relationship was "business." I'm sure they were very close privately, but publicly, they distanced each other. I would love to read this book. Can't wait! I wish her all the strength in the world. Love her! <3
