Janet Jackson Gold Collection. Janet Jackson will be honoured by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) this month.

The 'Feedback' singer is set to be recognised by the organisation for working to combat prejudice against sexuality in the music industry.

She will be presented with the Vanguard Award by US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres at the organisation's Media Awards in Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre on April 26.

Janet said: "I have received a number of awards throughout my career, but I am so proud to be receiving the Vanguard Award from GLAAD.

"Since its inception in 1985, GLAAD has taken the lead in making sure that people will no longer be judged by their gender identity or sexual orientation. I applaud them for their continued work and thank them for this honour from the bottom of my heart."

Neil G. Giuliano, President of GLAAD, added: "We are delighted to honour Janet Jackson at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles as such a visible, welcoming and inclusive ally of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

"Ms. Jackson has a tremendous following inside the LGBT community and out, and having her stand with us against the defamation that LGBT people still face in our country is extremely significant." Previous recipients of the Vanguard Award include Charlize Theron, Antonio Banderas, Liza Minnelli and Whoopi Goldberg.

Jackson's moving to Devon

The Jackson family are moving to Devon.
The musical clan, which includes eccentric pop superstar Michael, want a hideaway in the English countryside and have settled on the quaint town of Barnstaple, in the South West of England.
Tito, who is a judge on BBC 1 talent show 'Just The Two Of Us', spent last weekend house-hunting in the area and has already placed offers on two properties.
He said: "My family love North Devon and the wonderful countryside and friendly people, I'm really looking forward to buying a home here. Michael likes it here too, as no one bothers him.
"I am looking forward to living in Barnstaple and I hope the Barnstaple public will respect our family's privacy."
Tito's long-time friend, bodyguard Matt Fiddes, who has been helping him look for a new family retreat, told the North Devon Gazette newspaper: "I'm over-the-moon that he is looking for a home near me in North Devon and that the Jacksons will be heading this way a lot more often. It's definitely going to happen.
"Tito spoke with Michael on the phone the other night and all the family are certain that this is the area where they want to find a UK family hideaway."
Besides Michael, Tito, 54, has four other brothers, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Randy, and two sisters, Janet and La Toya.

Jackson Lawyer: Neverland Ranch Saved

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson has refinanced Neverland ranch in time to save his famed California spread from a public auction that was scheduled for later this month.

Jackson attorney L. Londell McMillan told The Associated Press on Thursday that the pop star has worked out a "confidential" agreement with Fortress Investment Group, LLC. The deal allows him to retain ownership of the famed property in Los Olivos, Calif.

"Neverland and MJ are fine," McMillan said.

An auction date had been set for March 19 because of $24.5 million the singer owed on the 2,500-acre spread northwest of Santa Barbara.

A source close to the singer who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter said it's not clear whether Jackson will keep Neverland. Jackson has not lived there since his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005.

Janet Jackson hospitalised

Janet Jackson was hospitalised after complaining of "shortness of breath" on Monday night (10.03.08).

The 'Feedback' singer was taken to Los Angeles' Cedar-Sinai Medical Center to be treated for flu symptoms.

Janet's representative insists the 41-year-old star's condition is not serious, saying: "Janet is fine. She is just battling this flu like everyone else."

The singer has been busy promoting her latest album 'Discipline', which is currently number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. She is planning to showcase her new tracks with a tour later this year.

Earlier this week, Janet - whose weight has fluctuated in recent years - revealed she is currently co-writing a diet book, which will be released by the end of the year.

She said: "It takes you through those moments in my life up until 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 did go to the hospital last night due to the fact she's been suffering from this flu that's kicked a lot of people's behinds," publicist Patti Webster told The Associated Press in an e-mail. "She was never admitted and she is fine."

Still, Webster said Jackson — who visited a Los Angeles hospital — was pulling out of the March 15 "SNL" telecast because "she needs some time to get better."

"SNL" spokesman Marc Liepis said he did not know what music act will replace Jackson.

Jackson, 41, was scheduled to perform live Saturday night in support of her latest album, "Discipline," which was released last month.

With her sixth No. 1 album in the bag, Janet Jackson next has a tour and a book ready to roll this year. The singer, whose "Discipline" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 181,000, anticipates a mid-September launch for a trip that will take her around the world.

"We're talking about America first," Jackson tells Billboard.com, "but I think we're going all over. I think I'm going to go back to Australia, back to Africa, obviously go to Asia, go to Europe for sure."

Jackson says fans can expect something "big -- it's always been big" and that some ideas may come from a tour she was planning to support 2006's "20 Y.O." before her new label, Island, suggested she instead return to the studio to make another album. "I'll probably tweak things from the last stage and stuff I had prepared for everyone," Jackson says. "It'll be an uptempo, upbeat show. I would love to perform every single I've had, but that's a pretty long show. I don't want people to be bored to tears."

Jackson adds that seven years after her last tour, she's anxious to get back on the boards. "I have missed it, and it means a great deal to me," she says. "When I'm creating music or singing the music (in the studio), I think about the stage performance. I think about the tour. The idea starts that early on for me. And I love being able to see the sea of faces, to have that connection, to feel that love. That's exciting for me."

Some time during the tour Jackson also hopes to roll out a book about her weight issues that she's co-writing with her nutritionist, David Allen. A title and publication details are expected to be announced soon, but Jackson says the idea for the book was inspired by her fans.

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."

Jackson says she hopes to have the book out by "the latter part of this year. That's what we're pushing for."

Janet Jackson is desperate for her brothers to have a Jackson Five reunion because she is their "biggest fan".

Janet wants Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and Michael to reunite for a world tour, insisting they still have "so much to give".

She said: "I really don't know if the tour would happen. I hope it happens.

I would love for it to happen. I'm probably my brothers' biggest fan. I think it would be great if they did.

"They're so loved and definitely missed and there's so much history there, musically speaking - there's so much that they have to give.

There's so much youth still there."

Janet also revealed her brothers have been inspired by the "dinosaur" Rolling Stones who have continued touring into their 60s.

She added to Hong Kong's Prestige magazine: "I think about how Mick Jagger is 65 million years old, like a dinosaur or something, all of them - The Rolling Stones - and I look at my brothers and none of them look their age.

"It's not that they're old, they just still don't look their age and it really trips me out. And I hope they do stage a world tour. They still love their music."

The Jackson Five - Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and Michael - later became The Jacksons after younger brother Randy joined.

The band's last tour was in 1984.
