A new documentary which airs on Channel 4 this Thursday in the UK will not featured Janet.

Channel 4 told Janet Love that the documentary follows members of the Jackson family including Joseph and Katherine, Jermaine, Tito and members of the boyband 3T on their search for a new holiday home in the British countryside.

It also examines how the residents of the small British village of Appledore in Devon cope when a world famous family move in.

Whilst there are likely to be mentions of Janet and Michael throughout, they do not feature in the documentary in person.

In an interview on the red carpet at the recent opening of the Atlantis resort in Dubai, Janet told Reuters: “I love how you don’t have to leave the hotel for anything”.

Watch a clip now at CCTV.

Photos of Janet at the Atlantis celebrations in Dubai last night show her pictured alongside British entrepreneur and former Virgin Records owner, Sir Richard Branson. After watching Kylie Minogue perform a one-hour show, Janet and boyfriend Jermaine Dupri watched a spectacular fireworks show.

The festivities continue for the next two days.

Jermaine Dupri has posted a video of him and Janet in Dubai at the grand opening of the new hotel Atlantis, The Palm Resort.

Janet will tour Japan from February 14th 2009, according to Japan Today, in what will be her first tour of Japan since 2002.

She will perform in Saitama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka from Feb 14 to 22 respectively.

Janet is currently attending the spectacular launch party hosted at Atlantis in Dubai with boyfriend Jermaine Dupri. The world’s largest fireworks display is due to start in just over 30 minutes followed by a concert by Kylie Minogue. It is believed to be the first time that Janet will see Kylie perform in person.

Janet Love has learnt that Janet will attend the grand opening of one of the biggest events of the year to celebrate the opening of a new hotel in Dubai tonight. Both Janet and her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri landed in Dubai a couple of days ago.

Atlantis, The Palm is a 1,539 room, ocean-themed destination resort located at the centre of the crescent of the man-made Palm Jumeirah in Dubai with 17 hectares of water park amusement, further marine and entertainment attractions and a collection of some of the most renowned world-class chefs.

Janet will watch as Kylie Minogue performs for her first time in the Middle East as well as the ignition of the world’s largest fireworks display.

Janet previously performed at the hotel’s sister resort in The Bahamas in May 2007 at a private concert.

Celebrities set to attend tonight include Oprah Winfrey, Charlize Theron, Michael Jordan, Robert DeNiro, Preity Zinta and Lily Allen. Other expected guests include The Duchess of York, Agyness Deyn, Boris Becker, Petra Nemcova, Denzel Washington, Samantha Ronson, Mary Kate Olsen, Mischa Barton, Bipasha Basu, John Abraham, Rani Mukherjee, Gosha Kutsenko.

A fan has created a compilation of amateur video footage uploaded by fans to video sharing site YouTube to show in full the first four songs of the Rock Witchu Tour. It’s definitely worth a watch so check it out below.

In a new interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine, Janet has raised questions over her future in music and said her newfound passion for behind-the-scenes television work is taking up lots of her time.

“I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music and acting is still a strong passion of mine – but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff.“

She also talks about her relationship with former record label Island Def Jam. She says whilst the label wanted her to slow things down and release music like Sade, Janet knew her dance tracks are the ones fans want to hear.

“They wanted me to sound more like Sade [and I said] I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.”

When asked about her desire to have children, Janet replied:

“At some point it’s coming. When? I have no idea. He (Jermaine Dupri) has been past ready. He’s just waiting for me; I’m the one holding up the whole thing. Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen.”
