Tyler Perry, who is currently working on Janet’s upcoming movie, Why Did I Get Married Too, has said he is “on no schedule” and will give Janet all the time she needs to come to terms with her brother Michael’s death.

Speaking at the Atlanta Urban League “Spirit of the League” awards luncheon where he was receiving an award, Perry said that Janet will be accommodated “fully and completely, according to whatever she needs.”

He added that Janet’s role in the movie will see her take on “a lot of heavy stuff to play and a lot of demands on her character [therapist and author Patricia Agnew].”

“At this point, I’m on no set schedule,” Perry said. “She’s an amazingly talented woman. I have no doubt, she’ll be up for [the acting challenges in the script].”

“Shooting the first film, there was a bond that formed between all of us,” Perry explained. “Even after the shoot, we’ve kept up with each other and we continue to talk.”

He added: “Janet will have all the love and support we can give her. That’s first and foremost.”

One of Janet’s dogs has been sent to ‘obedience school’, according to a quote filed with Contact Music.

JANET JACKSON has been forced to send one of her three beloved pet bulldogs to school – because he’s so naughty.
The pop superstar had hoped to take all three of her pooches on her upcoming tour with her, but it looks as if one dog will miss out on the dates – because he doesn’t get along with her other two mutts.
She explains, “He’s in Atlanta in obedience school because there are two of them (bulldogs) that aren’t getting along. That’s more important to me right now than him coming on tour.”
