Control: Janet Jackson Writes Weight-Loss Book

Janet Jackson was told by America or TMZ or someone that she was totally Chubbo City, lost a ton of weight she didn’t need to lose, and now has a book coming out so you can help perpetuate size myths in the privacy of your own, Cheeto-filled home. Will it involve wrapping youself in those weird leather things she likes to wear? Or maybe, you know, dancing? She really dances a lot. You should try dancing! Or exercising. At all.

“Everybody asks me — men, women — how did I do it?” she says. “Even young people will come up to me and they have an issue with their weight and they’re very concerned. So it’s basically my journey; it’s not just this sterile, weight loss and how to do it book, but my journey even from when I was a kid … being an emotional eater. It takes you through those moments in my life up ’til now and what worked for me. And hopefully within that, if it doesn’t work for them, maybe they’ll find something that does work for them and a nice place for them to be content with who they are.”

Janet, Janet. How could you ignore all the lessons you taught us about size discrimination in your unforgettable, heart-wrenching documentary Nutty Professor II: The Klumps?
