Janet's official website memorializes MJ
Janet's official website, www.janetjackson.com, has been changed to honor Michael Jackson with a photograph of him next to Janet's quote from the BET awards on Sunday evening:
"To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. -Janet"
There are no links to go anywhere else on the website. For most of 2009, the website was simply an image of clouds that contained a sign-up form for users to enter their e-mail addresses to be notified of updates, which was next to a graphic that said, "New website coming soon."

Bravo exec says he met with Janet recently
Andy Cohen, Senior Vice President of Production and Programming at the Bravo cable television network, revealed on his blog this morning that he recently met with Janet for a pitch meeting:
We had a pitch meeting with Janet a couple months ago and she was as lovely as you want her to be. She was wearing her hair like "Penny" from Good Times and I made a big deal of that (how could I not?). She said the hair-in-a-ball-on-head look actually began pre-Penny, in Vegas performing with her brothers. Janet, loveyoooo ...
Cohen did not reveal what was discussed at the meeting or if anything resulted from it.

On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much."
