Janet Jackson poses inside a cage - as she reveals her battle with insomnia. The chart star said she often struggles to sleep at night.
So in a bid to nod off, she resorts to watching kids' cartoons - her favourite being Family Guy.
She said: "It's a big issue [insomnia].
"My doctor is not happy with me. I have to take these [supplements] otherwise my brain won't stop, and I just lay there all night, thinking about everything.
"Usually I just wind up watching cartoons - The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Johnny Quest, Superfriends, you know, the classics.
"And if I get to catch Family Guy, I'm happy. I'm just a kid at heart. Just a big kid."
Jackson, 41, can be seen trapped in a metal cage on the cover of US style magazine, BlackBook.
But she admitted she found it hard to pose for a series of S&M-inspired images inside the publication.
She told the April 2008 issue of Blackbook, out now in the US: "I just get embarrassed so easily.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong profession. You know, a photographer will ask me to do something, and I think, 'What? With all these people around, staring?'
"I don't know, I guess it's my insecurity. Maybe when I'm 90, I won't care and just stick my ass out. But until I'm comfortable..." And she revealed a talent for impersonation.
She said: "My thing was to do impressions [as a child].
"My friends even to this day say I'm an excellent mimic. It comes from being around so many voices at one time.
Jackson's latest album, Discipline, is out now.
It went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 chart on its release in February [2008].
