Janet Jackson Tickets

Janet Jackson says that her shocking weight gain several years ago was down to her role in a movie that was subsequently cancelled.

The 45-year-old sparked concerns for her health when she disappeared from the spotlight, only to return extremely overweight. While some claimed she was depressed, Janet has finally set the record straight, saying that she had to gain several pounds for a film role.

"Well, I put on the weight for a film that I was to [suppose] to do and at the very last minute they had to change the schedule of the film, which didn’t work with my schedule so I had to pull out.  I had all of this weight that I had to get off of me," she explained to Jay Leno.

Janet is currently promoting her new book True You while she has also struck up a new deal with Nutrisystem.
