Janet is the new face of BlackGlama

[144000]

A few years ago there was a pap picture of michael i think he was at a KFC drive thru lol alsothe chef who cooked for michael said he ate chicken/soul food about once a week so this is no suprise. It's not a crime and it doen't matter if he ate animals once a while that doesn't mean he wasn't a healthy eater.

yeah..i saw the photo at the drive thru, but no photo of him eating the chicken. there were a lot of people in the vehicle with him.

the fact is, my point is, behind all this...people seem to prefer what a third party says, to what MJ says himself, about himself. he said he didn't. it has nothing to do with what a crime is and not. it's just to prove a point, that MJ's quiet voice is a voice that not enough people really listened to. and there really isn't any irrefutable evidence to betray anything MJ said about himself.

I'm not going into all that PETA-related discussion.
I just wanted to say GOSH she is INCREDIBLY beautiful..

 

[ExoticPrincess]

Well, I should think that Janet Jackson would've been aware that she would incur the wrath of PETA by associating herself with this brand and obviously she does'nt care, she is being paid very well to do this and apparently she is happy with that.

I would'nt be surprised though if she had a run in with one of those PETA people throwing red paint on her like they did to others in the past. Heather Mills-Mccartney must be rearing to go!

She looks amazing as per usual :wub:

PETA TO JANET JACKSON: “B*TCH, YOU SO DESPERATE”

It was announced on Thursday (June 15) that Janet Jackson is the newest celebrity spokesman for BlackGlama Fur and the folks at PETA are already coming for her… hard.

PETA 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.”

I don’t know who’s worse as far as complaining about every little thing, the LGBT community or PETA. Anyway, check out the behind the scenes video for the photo shoot.

Thank you PETA!!!

Wow, are you kidding me? Using Michael's death as a comparative point? I hate people who throw around personal shit like this to suit their agenda. Furthermore, it's crap like this that makes me dislike a lot of the types of people who dedicate their lives to causes like PETA (not all of them, obviously). They're so possessed by their one cause that they come off like nothing else in the world matters. These are the people who think that the death of a human being is equivalent to the death of an animal. I am borderline surprised (I said borderline) that they would use the death of a family member as a point while arguing against someone wearing/advertising fur. And the fact that a Michael fan would applaud the above statement is also equally disgusting. PETA could have made their point without mentioning Michael's passing, but now they just come off as overzealous hippie nazis.

They should go fuck animals and cease reproducing.


"YOU of ALL PEOPLE since your BROTHER died..."

Seriously? Go to hell.

I was hoping the title of the thread was "Janet is the new face of L'oreal."

 

[The One.]

^ I expected something like that too.

She is so beautiful though. But I'm not a fan of the real fur either.

I was hoping the title of the thread was "Janet is the new face of L'oreal."

beyonce is their face

 

[xo_lola_xo]

though there are stories flying around on both schools of thought, there is no proof of what MJ's later diet consisted of. third parties say he ate chicken, he said he did not, and Will I Am said MJ ate fruit, and there were rappers that said he was strict vegan. so, the jury is out on that. there are no photographs of him eating meat, after he made clear about his love for children and animals. i realize that when we hear something over and over on this site, we tend to believe it, sometimes without undeniable proof, but there still is something said for being responsible. printed itineraries are no substitute for photographic proof.

i know some people hate the fact that MJ was able to keep an air of mystery about many things in his life, but he was able to do that, and that is fact.

During the trial, they looked at what Michael ordered on a flight to or from Florida and yeah, plenty of KFC.

 

[OnOurWay]

IDK why they keep throwing MJ under the bus for Janet's actions with Blackglama:


It was really only a matter of time until animal rights organization PETA issued a statement about singer Janet Jackson's new advertising campaign for luxe fur brand Blackglama.

PETA Senior Vice President Dan Matthews published an open letter to the performer, noting that Jackson was once stringently anti-fur: "You told me that you were always aggravated at photo shoots when stylists would try to throw fur on you and that you were even wary of wearing fake fur out of concern that it might actually be real or look real in photos and send the wrong message. You were very straightforward and sensible about it. What happened?"

Matthews went so far as to reference the death of her brother, Michael Jackson: "I've admired your grace 'Good Times' to your family's recent hard times. I sincerely hope that the events of recent years haven't hardened your heart to the suffering of others."


If you want to email Dan Matthews or Amanda Schinke (the woman who compared MJ's death to the death of animals) here is there contact info:

The thing is....people DO NOT need to wear real fur, there's lots of fake fur out there and looks just as 'real' , if thats what its all about. But nooooooooo....they must wear the real stuff. Fur where animals like seals and what not get clubbed to death for, stuff that we see in Michael's Earth Song video for gods sake.......we see scenes of a white seal being clubbed in that video. Michael eating chicken is not a good comparison, people are used to eating chicken ever since they are born. But real fur, only rich people can get ahold of that, and they KNOW what happened to the animal damn well. And while life for a chicken might not be so good as well, alot of people don't know this. Hell, two weeks ago before watching a certain documentary i wasn't aware in what horrifying condition chickens and LOTS of animals are in, before being slaughtered. That is the sole reason i am quitting with meat completely.

I also never saw MJ in a fur coat, and during a photoshoot..wasn't it that Vogue thing or something? It was said in a interview from someone who worked for that company that Michael didn't want fur clothing.

"YOU of ALL PEOPLE since your BROTHER died..."

Seriously? Go to hell.

I understand your anger but please calm down...fuck animals? come on now. And what you said about the death of humans and animals, i dont agree with that at all. Why exactly are we better than animals? All these years of our existance we haven't exactly shown what a great species we are, now did we? Sure...there's plenty of good people, doing good things, but so much evil too.
So much going on with humans doing unspeakable things to the other species; animals. Naw, for me...the death of a animal is the same as human. When my dog dies...my world will crumble to the ground, just like it would if a family member died. I really see my dog as my family member. It's bullshit of people to think that we are better than animals, we absolutely are not.

And this...

"YOU of ALL PEOPLE since your BROTHER died..."

I don't see it anywhere in that article.......WHERE is this said?

THINK MINK: Janet Jackson has wrapped up another gig. The singer will join the ranks of Diana Ross, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli and, more recently, Elle Macpherson and Elizabeth Hurley, as the newest face in the Blackglama advertising campaign, 'What Becomes a Legend Most'?

First of all, I'm SHOCKED to see that Blackglama is still around. LOL! They were huge back in the day, when wearing fur was the "in thing" with the Hollywood crowd, but those days are LONG gone.

You can actually see what's going on by the "more recently" named, i.e. Elle Macpherson and Elizabeth Hurley. Sorry but neither one of them are Legends, in my opinion.

Folks in the position to be asked by Blackglama have been turning them down and that's why you don't see any "IN" celebrities attached to their campaigns any longer, i.e. recent Oscar winners and/or recent Grammy winners. Whether they like fur or not, those folks just don't want the press that comes along with wearing fur. And that includes the majority of the fashion runways around the world.

The "majority" of folks (Hollywood and non-Hollywood) turned their backs on wearing fur a long time ago, I'm very surprised that Janet would agree to do this campaign. Knowing the STIGMA that's attached to wearing fur. Very surprised indeed!

totally agree.. common sense tells all the a-celebs not to be associated with fur or blackglama

 

[angelofhope]

As far as I am aware Michael was against real fur being used for clothing and fashion purposes. I am too. Disappointing Janet has taken this step.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that "most" of Hollywood stuck together when it came to not wearing fur and/or using fur in their new fashion lines.

OLD Hollywood, getting out of the limo, drapped in fur. NEW Hollywood, no haps!

totally agree with your post

 

[Justine]

She still got it.. She is so pretty Great photoshoot

 

[2300jacksonst]

Photos are awesome, but real fur. Very disappointed with her.

 

[144000]

During the trial, they looked at what Michael ordered on a flight to or from Florida and yeah, plenty of KFC.

like i said in my original post..an itinerary is not a photograph. he has children that could have eaten that, for all i know. it's not like the photograph, in the case of bugging MJ's private flight, where he was seen eating an apple...or the gif of MJ eating potato chips, on someone's siggy.

for me, i don't care what anyone else says...since it's always been fun to accept a third party report of Michael, over what Michael said, himself, i accept Michael's word, over thiers. as far as i ma concerned, your example, is third party. i don't want to go back and forth on this. i'll agree to disagree with you and whoever else disagrees with me on this. it's fair to say, that nobody can truly prove me wrong; all they can do, is brow beat me with preaching about believing third party reports over photo evidence. a third party report of Michael doesn't compare to that actual photo of Janet in a fur. and..quite frankly..if i wanted to, i could claim that Janet is wearing a fake fur, and i have no proof that that fur is real, except that someone is saying it. maybe i need to wait for what Janet has to say.

i maintain, after all i have witnessed, i don't believe in third party reports on matters such as these, when it comes to the Jacksons.

and the reason why i bolded what i bolded, is because i am hoping no one will go there, and compare this third rate info to info that MJ's lawyer gave, that MJ hired to speak for him, that was relevant to the case of child molestation accusations. a lot of info passed through, including financial info, that can't be proven to be complete, because it wasn't really relevant to the issue of proving MJ innocent of the charges. whether or not he ate chicken, has nothing to do with whether or not he molested a child. sometimes, a lot of incidental info can be written in a book, but Aphrodite Jones' objective, was really to tell us how the media twisted courtroom proceedings. it wasn't to declare what MJ ate. that itinerary was just incidental third party info.

why is this important to me? because a lot of people form sometimes overly passionate feelings about a person, based on third party info.

and i'm hoping that people don't go there, and think i am arguing for or against the eating of chicken. this whole post is about one thing, and one thing, only: third party info.

I think alot of celebrities in general are neutral I don't see alot of high profile stars endorse peta either, I think Peta alot of times are bullying celebrities into not wearing fur , it's not that people turnned their back on it. it's like you said they are scared of the stigma of wearing it.

144,000, i am wondering, you choose to believe Michael's word over a third party, i completely agree with you. What exactly did he say about him eating chicken? Just curious.

in an interview with Billy Bush, MJ made, what sounded like an intentionally unclear statement about his eating habits..maybe knowing that anything MJ is up for ravenous discussion. MJ simply said, he's into eating 'herbs..' and he said..'i'm very careful about what i put in my body'. anybody can dig up that interview. it was from when he was in Ireland, during the t25 recording sessions.

in truth..nobody can draw a conclusion from that statement.

and, it's cool. it keeps the mystery and intrigue alive.

who cares if michael at animals from time to time lol most of us do and it taste good.

Bad move Janet! Promoting the slaughtering of cute little furry creatures.

Michael eating chicken is not a good comparison, people are used to eating chicken ever since they are born.

exactly! and wearing fur is a luxury not a necessity like food. If I remember correctly, MJ became a vegetarian because he couldn't stand the thought of animal being killed. Then in the early 90s, he's advised by his doctor to eat meat because of his weak physique. But chicken are meant for food anyway while seals and minks and those animals are a part of nature not meant for human consumption. The only problem with KFC is in the process itself.
