Jackson's Waistline Makes Headlines

(April 2) -- Janet Jackson's body parts continue to steal all of her thunder.

It seems like just yesterday NippleGate rocked the world. This time around, it's a much tamer area that is causing bloggers to snicker, as the pop star's shrinking waistline in recent weeks has been a far cry from her past figure. Even tabloids like the U.K.'s Daily Mail is commenting, calling Jackson a "yo-yo dieter" while reporting on her "tiny, waspish waist."

AOL Body: Unhealthy Weightloss

It was at Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards where Jackson's waist became the subject, as her tightly-sinched belt acted more like a corset than an accessory. It was even enough to make the always positive Pink Is the New Blog say that Ms. Jackson's mid-section was "a bit strange to look at."

Jackson's weight has been a frequent topic of conversation among gossipers over the past few years, as she gained a large amount of weight, reportedly for a movie role that never materialized.

Remember when Janet (along with the older brothers) were considered the normal ones in the family? They are probably normal compared to Michael and LaToya.

The Jackson family as a whole are strange to say the least but Janet looks pretty good. It's Michael that horrifies the public. Man, have you seen this guy lately, WOW!!!!!

JJ = still getting FREE publicity, sorta prove the lady has great staying power.
As tiny as she is her waistline seems fine, she does not look underweight.
JJ is hard worker a pro with a bankable career of over thirty years
From the photos, it seems Mz. JJ has the stamina to perform her act to great advantage. Given the time and energy required to perform at her level-obviously this tabloid story is mere grist to fill-up the yellow so called journalism and a gossip's wallet.
It is a non-story-fueled by jealousy-while I am no fan-I've always fully enjoyed the top notch professionalism guaranteed by a Jackson performance-show biz at it's best------->

You're out of your minds, Daily Mail. Her waist isn't tiny. I thought I'd see something radical like she had ribs removed maybe. Damn it all to hell, I'm tired of this crappy news reporting. Surely there is some THING out there of even minor merit? Quit wasting my valuable time, AOL!! You are adding insult to injury with this continued lack of substance in your choices of news.
