Janet Jackson Says It 'Would Fun to be on Broadway'

In a recent interview with The Philippine Star, singer Janet Jackson expressed that there's one thing in her career that she still hasn't had the chance to do: Broadway.

The younger sister of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, Janet is just shy of the top ten best-selling female artists in the US with over 100 million records sold. Though not as established as an actress, she has appeared in a handful of movies in the past few years - most recently "For Colored Girls" and "Why Did I Get Married Too?" - and would like to expand that experience to include theater.

"It would be fun to be on Broadway," the 44-year-old says. "There is a whole different discipline to that schedule and I would like to experience it."

This isn't the first time Jackson has mentioned Broadway; in 1998 she told Robert Hilburn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "I'm crazy about Broadway...that's what I grew up on."

Jackson recently achieved number one iTunes status with her performance of "Nothing," written and produced by her in association with Johnta Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri for the film "Why Did I Get Married Too?" for which she also starred. The tune is currently an awards contender as best song in a motion picture. Her upcoming book "True You" is being published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster will be in stores on February 8th.
