Posted August 8, 200618 yr Source: Launch/Dotmusic Pop star Janet Jackson is back on the news stands after posing topless for the front cover of a US magazine. The 40-year-old singer, newly svelte after losing over four stone, appears on the cover of Vibe wearing a skimpy bikini bottom and a necklace made of large shells. Her right arm covers her breasts. Asked if she will ever stop posing for sexy photos, Jackson tells the magazine: "Of course. When I'm 80 - that's when I'll call it quits." Two years ago, Justin Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson's bustier, briefly exposing one of her breasts, during the Super Bowl half-time show. In the interview, Jackson says the incident -- variously referred to as "Nipplegate" and the "bra-ha-ha" -- is history. "It's just over and done with. It's old. It's the past. It's history. I'm on to something new. Everybody got their licks in -- those who wanted to -- and it's done," she says. Jackson credits her boyfriend, 33-year-old music producer Jermaine Dupri, for giving her self-esteem, "a little boost." Her new album, 20 Y.O., is released in the US next month. Dupri produced a few tracks, and long-time collaborators Jimmy "Jam" Harris and Terry Lewis helped as well. The pop star recently said she had packed on extra weight for a role in the movie Tennessee, which she ultimately had to pass on because of her new record. When asked if she'd rather have a hit album or win an Oscar, she says: "Win an Oscar. It's just a passion. But can't I have both? Everybody in my family says I'm spoiled anyway. I want both." http://eur.news1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com//xp/pressass/2467025716.jpg Hardly doing her many favours :unsure:
