Maintaining comfort and positive energy at home, Janet Jackson has invited an ABC camera crew and Robin Roberts to her Malibu, California home for an upcoming television special.
Titled "In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Janet Jackson,' the forthcoming television special will feature the "Make Me" singer speaking for the first time (at length) since the death of her brother and fellow entertainer Michael Jackson.
Noted to be very private and close to the King of Pop, Jackson will likely speak at length about his legacy and in turn her career and possible outlook on life since June.
As previously reported, Janet Jackson is due to release a hits collection titled "Number Ones" just in time for the holiday season (more on the collection here...) and is said to be at work on a follow up to the 2008 album "Discipline".
In related news, Janet Jackson looks to be confirmed for a special appearance on the hit reality competition 'The X Factor'.
According to popular Janet Jackson fansite Janet Love, X Factor organizers have confirmed the "Scream" and "Feedback" singer for a December 6 appearance.
"Following numerous internet rumours, Janet Love has spoken to a senior source at ITV who has confirmed to us that the performance is definitely scheduled," reports Janet Love. "Bosses are currently trying to persuade Janet to take on a role in mentoring the acts on top of her performance."
The idea of Jackson performing on The X Factor is not far fetched as she is already set to perform at Capital FM's Jingle Ball and may be in talks to perform at popular venue G-A-Y. An official announcement has yet to be made however.
"In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Janet Jackson' will air on ABC Wednesday, November 18 at 10 pm/et.

Have you heard these great songs about Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, The X Factor, Robbie Williams, Katie and Peter on youtube.com/thisisjohnnyblack
Why is she releasing a CD now? I find it in bad taste. Sad.
Nicholas, what are you talking about it's just a greatest hits cd with one new track on there. Janet was already working on an album before Michael passed away and that won't be out until next year sometime. What is she supposed to do just sit around and do nothing for the rest of her life. Michael wouldn't want that.
Once again uninformed people jump and make comments. Janet is no LaToya or Jermaine. She's one of the biggest female acts, was making a movie, recording an album prior to Michaels passing. I was aware of a new Greatest Hits months ago. Get a life Nicholas, Janet has always done her own thing. Know your facts before you open your uneducated mouth!
