Powell Declines To Give Big Lift To Obama
Painting That Ridicules S. Africa's President Is Defaced
Janet Jackson is one of the chosen few to be wholly accepted by the gay community.
Well, at least for this year.
The pop music icon/actress will receive a special award from GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) during their 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which will be given out this spring.
The 'That's the Way Love Goes' chanteuse is one of two singers to be honored for their work this past year. The other is Rufus Wainwright.
Each year GLAAD -- an organization that monitors how gays and lesbians are depicted in the media – honors networks, television shows and celebrities during four ceremonies to be held in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and southern Florida. (Dates and venues are: March 17 at the Marriott Marquis in New York, April 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida, April 26 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and May 10 at the San Francisco Marriott in San Francisco.) Jackson, who releases her new album 'Discipline' on Feb. 26, is expected to be honored at the Los Angeles event.
"This year's extraordinary nominees exemplify the important strides we have made as a community toward creating a truly inclusive society," GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said in a statement.
Among networks, ABC led nominees with nine nods; among the shows up for honors are 'Ugly Betty' and 'Desperate Housewives.'
The nominees were announced at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on Jan. 20.

This comment is for "Isaac" #14. The comment you made said;
"All the jealous bytches are unemployed while you have had a great career and still look good. You reap what you sow, You have sown love to all people and you are gettin it in return".
How are "YOU" going to call people up on "HERE" B****S? and then quote a verse from the "BIBLE"!
Nobody was talking about other people on this blog, but you. You sound like Michael Jackson, "SO YOU WANNA BE STARTING SOMETHING, YOU WANNA A BE STARTING SOMETHING! HEE, HEE, HEE!

WELL, I personally am not proud that you are supporting gays. But I am not you. I feel that a person should appreciate all the love they receive. I used to listen to you ALL the time I just loved your music. Since I got heavy into church I haven't been listening to the radio or watching tv much. But you do still look good. As some others have already said, there are haters out there who are jeolous of you. But I consider your voice a gift. God don't make mistakes. You really can sing from what I heard in the past. I have not heard any of your recent music!!
