According to Access Hollywood, Janet will appear in the April issue of Ebony Magazine talking about her Super Bowl performance.

In the article, she says: “It was not intentional. It was a costume accident. It was an accident. That was basically it.”

Janet Multimedia has made available for a limited time only a backing track to Janet’s new song I WANT YOU. In addition, we’ve also added the Peter Rauhofer Club Mix of JUST A LITTLE WHILE.

With the negative publicity Janet’s been getting recently, we want to let her know how much her fans still love her. You can leave her a message and all of them (subject to content!) will be compiled into a book which will be given to her when she is in the UK during March. Please only leave one message as multiple messages will mean that ALL your entries are removed. The closing date is Monday March 8th 2004. As you only get chance to write a message make sure it’s good! Click on the image above to leave your message!
