It’s Hallowe’en weekend here in the US and since Friday night, a plethora of celebs have been gettin’ themselves all dressed up in fun costumes to celebrate one of the most fun holidays of the year. From NYC to LA (and everywhere in between), folks like Janet Jackson, Kathy Griffin, Gwen Stefani and more indulged their inner child and dressed up for various Hallowe’en events … here are a few photos from this weekend’s fun (thus far):

Last week we saw photos of Paris Hilton picking out her sailor costume at Trashy Lingerie and now we get to see it in action … it’s actually pretty tame, to be honest. Gwen as a sexy Batgirl looks pretty good, as does Kathy Griffin in a sailor costume of her own. Tori Spelling and her family (Dean McDermott, Liam Aaron and Stella Doreen) look really cute together. Hallowe’en is actually today, as you are well aware, but I’m guessing that the biggest Hallowe’en parties took place last night. Hopefully YOU’LL indulge your inner child and will get out there today/tonight to enjoy the fun of Hallowe’en!

Last Friday we learned of a report from In Touch Weekly magazine that claimed that Janet Jackson had gotten herself engaged to be married to her billionaire boyfriend Wissam Al Mana. Today, in an interview with Good Morning America to promote her new film For Colored Girls, Janet Jackson categorically denied that she and Wissam are engaged:

She had to deal with the same rumours about her last boyfriend. But Janet Jackson took it all in her stride this morning as she laughed her way through a simple denial – that she is not engaged to her boyfriend of several months Wissam Al Mana. The 44-year-old singer looked radiant as she chatted with the breakfast show host on ABC’s Good Morning America today. Janet was on the show to promote her upcoming film For Colored Girls – a movie based on Ntozake Shange’s play ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.’ Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colours performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of colour in the world. The film is released on November 5 and has an all star cast including Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington, Whoopie Goldberg, Macy Gray and Michael Ealy. The interview inevitably turned to the singer’s personal life and when asked about her blossoming relationship she shot down any marriage rumours. ‘He is a very private man so i don’t talk about our relationship,’ she said of Al Mana, an Arab businessman she began dating in April after splitting from long-term boyfriend of seven years, music producer, Jermaine Dupri. During that relationship, the couple dodged continuous rumours about an engagement and even a secret wedding. ‘But it is really important that I just say this,’ continued Jackson to the host. ‘They (media) have been trying to marry me off for a very very long time.’ No I am not engaged, I will say that. I am in a really good place.’

Not at all surprising that Janet is not engaged … so I’m glad that’s been settled. I must say, the more I hear about For Colored Girls, the more I am dying to see the film! The trailers that I have seen look so powerful, I am really anxious to see this film. While we may not be congratulating Janet on any upcoming nuptials, we may be congratulating her on a few award nominations.

The latest rumor making the rounds today is that Janet Jackson and her billionaire boyfriend Wissam Al Mana have gotten themselves engaged to be married. Considering that Janet Jackson is a very private person and this report comes from In Touch Weekly, I would caution that you take the news with a huge grain of salt. That being said, wouldn’t it be fantastic to see Janet Jackson wed in outrageously opulent style at some point in the future?

I see if the press couldn’t give Beyoncé a baby they’re going to try and give Damita Jo an engagement ring. Indeed, In Touch says that Janet Jackson is engaged to her billionaire boyfriend, Iranian businessman Wissam Al Mana. The couple started dating this spring and in recent weeks, the two have been spotted enjoying each other’s company at the finest resorts in the world. Allegedly, Wissam got down on one knee and proposed to Janet with a 15-carat diamond ring. Since they are “soul mates,” Janet said call me Mrs. Al Mana – allegedly. While it certainly makes sense for anyone to marry a billionaire, I’ll believe they’re getting married in ten years when Janet finally acknowledges that they’ve been on at least three dates.

Yeah … no … I ain’t buyin’ it. Besides, even if this were true … we still couldn’t be sure. Janet Jackson has been married and divorced before all without any of us knowing about it until after the fact so … yeah. Rather than getting all excited about a wedding that may never happen (or we may never even know about), let’s just send our love to Janet and Wissam in the hopes that they are very happy together.

Back in June we saw photos of Janet Jackson sportin’ a sassy short hair’do on the Harlem, NY set of the new Tyler Perry film For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf (which will, undoubtedly be shortened to For Colored Girls) and today we get to see Janet, Miss Jackson if you’re nasty, in the first promo poster for the film … behold:

Janet Jackson is seeing red on the poster for the upcoming Tyler Perry-directed For Colored Girls (formerly titled For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf). The film, based on the 1975 stage play of the same name, focuses on seven women who discuss their battles with love, abandonment, and domestic violence, with an all-star cast that includes Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Janet Jackson, Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad, Loretta Devine, Tessa Thompson, and Thandie Newton. For Colored Girls is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 5

You may recall that this is the film that Mariah Carey was supposed to star in but she abruptly pulled out at the very last second (reportedly due to pregnancy but, still, that has not been confirmed). Thandie Newton will be featured in the film in the role Mimi was supposed to play. Now, I love me some Janet … and I really love the redness of this poster … but the eyes, no, I’m not loving them at all. JJ looks like an alien with them fake contacts in. I hope Janet‘s new eye color looks much better on film because I don’t believe For Colored Girls is meant to be a horror film.

Janet Jackson has been named the new celebrity spokesmodel for BlackGama, a luxury clothing company that specializes in mink and other animal fur items. Janet is featured in the company’s new ad campaign which asks the question, What Becomes a Legend Most? The answer, apparently, is The Skin of Dead Animals is what Becomes a Legend Most. As you can imagine, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — an organization that works for animal rights and against the fur trade — has already issued a statement denouncing Janet‘s support of the fur trade:

Animal activists have taken aim at Janet Jackson for signing on as the new face of fur firm BlackGlama. The pop superstar was announced as the brand’s new ‘What Becomes a Legend Most?’ spokesmodel on Thursday, July 15 and she’ll model high-quality mink items in the ads – and PETA bosses have been quick to react. Spokeswoman Amanda Schinke says, “It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide, but we didn’t think that Janet was this desperate. Surely she knows enough about suffering and unjustified death to recognize that both occur in the production of a fur coat. We are asking her to think again and to donate these stolen skins to be used as bedding for animals orphaned by other human-caused disasters, such as loss of habitat.”

Blah, I have to agree … the idea of wearing the fur of skinned animals as a luxury seems so barbaric and cruel to me. To be clear, I do eat meat and I do use leather but I so not advocate the use of animal fur. I know it may sound hypocritical to some but to me, eating meat is not the same thing as skinning animals merely for the luxury of being able to wear their fur. I wouldn’t personally look down or chagrin someone for wearing fur, just like I wouldn’t want to be treated as such for eating meat or using leather … but I, personally, am not cool at all with wearing fur or advocating its use. It’s a touchy subject, I know, but I think it’s just better to say NO to fur at all costs.

What do y’all think of Janet‘s new mink coat ad? Does it change your opinion of her?

Janet Jackson, who has been rocking a pretty hot short hair’do lately, is featured on the cover of the new issue of Essence magazine with a full head of beautiful hair. It’s not clear if this is a photo that was snapped before Janet lopped off all of her hair or if she’s wearing a fabulous wig but she looks amazing on the cover:

“It took me a good minute to get here, it really did. But I love my life. I only wish I had this confidence when I was younger…”–Janet Jackson

BEFORE SUNSET… Following the success of “Why Did I Get Married Too?” and while working on Tyler Perry’s next film, “For Colored Girls…,” Janet Jackson directed her own romantic drama and cast sexy “CSI: Miami” star Adam Rodriguez as her costar. Lights, camera, action! Plus, don’t miss Janet’s performance at the upcoming ESSENCE Music Festival this Fourth of July weekend in New Orleans…

This is the Janet I love … classic, smiley Janet. I know she’s still going thru the pain of losing her brother Michael Jackson but she seems to have soldiered thru the worst of it about as successfully as can be expected. Not only is her acting career going well but she’s still going strong with her singing career … she will be performing this weekend at the Essence Music Festival In New Orleans and I can’t wait to hear all about it! It’s really very cool to see JJ lookin’ so happy again.

Earlier today we learned that Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson would be appearing at a monument unveiling in Gary, IN at the childhood home of the Jackson family and right now we get to see a few photos of Katherine at today’s ceremony:

It was reported that Katherine would be bringing Michael‘s 3 children with her to Gary for this event but they didn’t appear to be at the ceremony … maybe she decided to let the kids stay in Hawaii so that they could enjoy themselves there instead. As for the rest of the Jackson clan, they remained here in SoCal so that they could visit MJ‘s grave at Forest Lawn Cemetery. After the jump, check out photos of Janet Jackson and her brothers making their appearance at MJ‘s final resting place earlier today …

Last month we saw photos of Janet Jackson showing off her super short new hair’do and today we get to see her rockin’ a bit more hair (tho, still short and very sassy) on the Harlem, NY set of the new Tyler Perry movie For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf … behold:

Man … Janet looks good with this short new ‘do. I love it! I’m not a big fan of Tyler Perry films but I might have to check out this one … I know Janet has starred in other Perry films so maybe it’s time I check one out. Incidentally, this is the film that Mariah Carey pulled out of at the last minute on the advice of her doctor (an act which sparked new rumors that she is pregnant with her first child). I’m not sure who they got to replace Mimi in this film but I’m sure we’ll be seeing photos of whoever the replacement is possibly with JJ on set soon. She looks fab, no?

And so … America picks a new American Idol to reign over the landscape of competitive reality TV musicdom. Last night, the latest season of American Idol came to a close in a lavish finale episode that featured a host of big name musical acts, a tearful goodbye to the show’s meanest judge and — of course — the revelation of America’s pick for this year’s Idol. Here are a few photos of some of the big name musical acts who performed during last night’s finale ep:

While I am not a huge fan of the show itself, even I have to admit that American Idol puts on some of the most entertaining finale episodes on TV these days. Last night’s ep featured performances by Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, Bret Michaels, Carrie Underwood (herself a former AI winner) and more! It was deff worth tuning in just to see these pop stars pay homage to America’s biggest musical popularity contest. But, of course, the entire night lead up to the big announcement. In the end, there were 2 contestants left … Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. But only one of them could be named this year’s American Idol. And the winner is …

Last week we learned that Janet Jackson has reportedly started up a romantic relationship a new man and today we get to see her out and about in London hand-in-hand with her new man. Janet was spotted with her Qatari industralist Wissam Al Mana as the couple made their way out of a restaurant in the Mayfair district of London yesterday. While news of Janet‘s new man is interesting enough, the fact that she was showing off a short new hair’do is just as interesting. Here is a photo of Janet and Wissam rockin’ matching short haircuts in the UK together:

Hailing from one of the world’s pre-eminent musical families, Janet Jackson is used to being recognised wherever she goes. But the singer left bystanders doing a double-take yesterday as she stepped out for lunch in London with a dramatic new hairstyle. Janet has had her long curly locks shorn off and is now sporting a new short crop which she wore in a slicked back, gelled style. Perhaps the change was prompted by the new man in her life, wealthy Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. It has not been confirmed that the pair are an item but she’s certainly been doing a lot of wining and dining with the 35-year-old industrialist. Yesterday, they were at Italian restaurant Cecconi’s in Mayfair and last night they dropped in to Nobu Berkeley. For both jaunts, the RnB star, 44, teamed her look with turned-up jeans, a black leather jacket and platform wedge heels. Jackson split from her long-time boyfriend Jermaine Dupri last summer after a seven-year relationship.

While it’s true that there has been no official confirmation of a new relationship for Janet (and really, don’t expect one … Janet Jackson is infamous for never, ever talking about her personal romantic relationships) sources tell RadarOnline that the couple are, indeed, an item:

“The singer and actress is in an exclusive relationship with Wissam Al Mana,” reveals a source close to the couple. “Janet’s new love is a 35-year-old wealthy industrialist from Qatar and has homes worldwide.” Wissam is the young managing director of Al Mana Retail, a luxury corporate group in the Middle East. After splitting from longtime beau, Jermaine Dupri, after a seven-year relationship last summer, Jackson has eased into her new romance.

So … while we wait for confirmation that will likely never come, let’s turn our focus back to JJ‘s hair’do. After the jump, check out a couple more photos that give us a better look at her new shorter ‘do from the front and the back …
