I don't think Janet was pretty... now or before... I just don't see it.

What you talking about Lisa?

Janet was hot. Although when I once went to one of her concerts and she was all hot and sweaty her face did kind of look like it might melt.

I second that. Janet was damn hot!!

in the pic of her in the bikini and jeans, I hope thats a tattoo at the top of her thigh, otherwise she really needs to wax a little more

she was hot; now she's not i always wondered why she hooked with that walking troll doll jermaine dupree. Now we know; so she could eat and not have to work out 4 hours a day. I always thought the queen was kinda hot; but then i always liked to have ample to sample. Is she really a rug doctor sarah?

Uh, isn't the first photo Dana Williams/Queen Latifah? It doesn't look like Janet to me, at all!

Y'know, who are we to judge her weight gain? Seriously, maybe she is ill, taking Prednisone for Lupus, Asthma, Crohn's/Colitis ... it's an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid drugs, which causes people to gain massive amounts of weight (slooooow metabolism) and puff-up. Not a fun drug, and if she is, infact, ill, this is her business. Maybe she's on fertility drugs - those cause weight gain too. Who knows?

`Woman probably feels badly enough, without people picking her apart. I am not a Janet Jackson fan, but really, people, let's hope that she's healthy, not seriously ill.

Oh my goodness. I can't believe she went from having such a rock hard body to... THAT. Wasn't that whole "wardrobe malfunction" business at last year's SuperBowl (or was it 2004??). Whichever year it was, she was thin just a year or so ago and then BOOM. There's a lesson to be learned in that...

Anyway, Queen Latifah isn't really gay, right? Not that there's anything wrong with that, cuz we all know I like the 3rd base boy-on-boy action, but if she is that explains a lot (does anyone remember her ever having had a boyfriend?).

I read somewhere that she was dating that Ali boxer chick. Apparently Ali is getting a divorce because of her "relationship" with Queen Latifah.

Showing your boob at the Super Bowl could be an effective treatment for anorexia.
Someone please page Mary Kate, Nicole Ritchey, etc.

....Not really sure why anyone would think someone self-monikered "Queen" who's only been seen hanging with women and not men could be gay? As if it mattered or anyone cared, but still?

I feel very sorry for her Im sure she's struggling with something. Its not amazing to me when people fluxuate 20 pound cause i know I can if im not careful. But for her to gain SO MUCH so FAST ... its just alarming. I woke up one day and there was a "fat" janet Jackson. I hope she's okay... and I hope she gets back on the horse. Im not saying she has to be rock hard but I hope she becomes happier with herself.

She probably had an emotional breakdown with her brothers trial and the wardrobe malfunction etc... and just said fVck it im gonna be like everyone else and eat whatever the hell i want.

"in the pic of her in the bikini and jeans, I hope thats a tattoo at the top of her thigh, otherwise she really needs to wax a little more"

It's a tattoo of Minne Mouse giving Mickey Mouse head.

Janet does look like the Queen in the first picture. I like Queen Latifah better than Janet, and I could care less whether she was gay or not. I like her movies.

OK. NO fat jokes, kids.

Janet is NOT ok. I'm with Kate (suspicion of meds) -- BUT -- I'd say it's Paxil, Zoloft, Zyprexa, Selexa, Xanax or Prozac. Janet has a notorious history of D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N. The nipple-ring, her bro's trial, constant pressure for beauty & perfection, baby rumors... My money: she had a breakdown -- symptomatic of which: catatonic/numbed-out state of mind. And one day she just curled up in a fetal position and closed the blinds... and as the days/weeks passed -- she gained 50 pounds.

Now, those who confuse this with having a character flaw? Uh...please: don't go there. You'd be showing your ignorance. The girl is ill with depression -- i.e., her brain's not wired right to handle life's crap. Depression: very common among highly creative/artistic people like Miss Janet. So...no fat jokes, please. To do so, means that you've never had this situation (of a family member having depression) rip your family in two...

Thanks...

KARMA ALERT:
Quit with the FAT jokes. This girl is suffering from D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N.

She most likely spends much of her day in a semi-fetal position with the blinds closed. It's a near-miracle that she can muster up enough to crawl out her darkness and see the light of day. And then the paparazzi finds her and you Bozo's go for the fat jokes. Warning: weight gain is NOT a character flaw; and if you don't agree and continue to poke fun? Respectfully: LOOK OUT. Because this illness will plop it's ugly, slithery, cold and dank self RIGHT in your lap and either cripple you or someone very close to you.

Depression: very common among highly artistic/creative people.
The ultimate "validating" experience committed by those suffering from depression?

Suicide.

Guys, please don't f*ck around in poking fun at peeps who suffer from depression, OK? You won't truly know this unless you've been there... So many have the mistaken notion that "coming out of Depression" is a voluntary thing. It's not. Your brain refuses to move forward. The only thing that can help are meds, talk therapy. Critically important: support from friends/family -- and saying "snap out of it" or "I thought you'd be over all of this by now" or "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" or any other bs garbage.

Thanks, guys.

I hope Janet bounces back from this. The past year has been super tough with her last album failing and the trial and the ridiculous attacks on her for a harmless nipple. She's got a new album coming out this spring so I hope we are in for a big surprise makeover!

Most beautiful woman... let alone a fine athlete! Oops wrong website sorry. I forgot I wasn't on the tennis boards.

I think we should be looking at the real issue at hand here and apologize to Miss Queen Latifah.
"We're sorry for thinking that this ugly, horrifically large fattie was you. We understand that you are now a slimmer version of your past and for us to compare you to Miss Two-Ton Jackson is just completely wrong. Please except my apology on behalf of all the Bastardly subscribers- we were wrong."

Poor Queen Latifah.

she looks like michael jackson in some old pics, so yeah...ugly

yeah i always thought she looked way too much like Michael to ever be hot.

I don't like her nose and her tits are weird looking. Her ass was big, and yes that is a good thing because it wasn't lumpy and long. She let herself go but I think she will be back to her slim self because she has an album coming out. She was always a little meatier but she got slimmer as she got older. She better get slim because her label is sweating bullets.

in my opinion, Janet looked the best ever in that black and white video when they are in the desert with the dudes wearing all white doing acrobatic s***...she had the black bustier...that was when she was the hottest!!!!

Is Queen gay? Well, isn't every woman in the world only two drinks away from becoming a lesbian?

So what she put on some weight who are we to say what size some one should be we are not the one that should judge she is going to be her no matter what if you were truely a fan of hers then it wouldn't matter how her body has changed we all go through some changes in life maybe this is hers no one can tell people how they should look it's only what this world has made up God has made many different sizes,color what have you i also think Queen Latifah look great too nothing wrong with pluse women small women either it's what ever float your boat so let's not for get we wouldn't like if people post nasty harmful things about us if we were big stars or not so i say Ms Jackson keep doing what ever you have to do no one made you but God if you want to loose weight that's fine if not that's cool to but you do you and not let anyone take that away from you stay strong in the Lord May God bless us all because we need it!! thanks for taking the time to read this please remember that we are not all made the same life goes up and it goes down lets support our strong women not help others bring us down peace out .

Queen Latifah might be gay if she is that's cool i'll have her maybe she just want to keep that part of her life to her self ya know how everyone try to catch her doing something they will take it and run with it.but if i ever met her and she wanted to that's cool but we can't say if she's gay or not if she doesn't come out and say maybe she likes both nothing wrong with that either.I think it's ok for a lady to hang out with another lady friend and not be gay we all have friends of the same sex that we are cool with like when someone posted a pitcure of Queen chillin with her trainer big deal they are friends i don't know many are still wondering she smart keep them going girl!!

I like her when shes 'fat', not skinny.

I didn't even notice that in the pic, thats some good stuff Inky!

She is NOT ok. I'm in with Kate's suspicion of meds -- BUT -- my money sez it's Paxil, Zoloft, Zyprexa, Xanax or Prozac. Janet has a notorious history of D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N.

One day she just curled up in a fetal position and closed the blinds...and gained 50 pounds. And let's NOT confuse that as a character flaw, kiddies!!! The girl is ill with depression -- i.e., her brain's not wired right to handle life's crap. Depression: very common among highly creative/artistic people like Miss Janet. (Poor girl... She'll bounce-back -- SOME day. Don't think it'll be any time soon, though...)

I thought the first pic was Queen Latifa. She figured her career was shot she might as well be also.
