I am thinking that Janet Jackson has lost her age papers, her memory, and maybe her mind.

It was just two years ago that she turned off the entire United States by exposing her right, ornament-adorned breast during the Super Bowl half-time show, a move that many believe cost her big time in the sales of her album Damita Jo that was released shortly thereafter.

In truth, that album did not need that much help stinking up the place but here we are two years later and she is doing the breast thing all over again just in time for the release of her latest album 20 Years Old, which may be doomed to a similar fate. I am definitely not feeling the two singles from the album that have been released so far which leaves me wondering if this was the best her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri could have done for her.

Miss Jackson has released a video where she is, in a way, 'exposing' herself and as a long-time Janet fan, I am not pleased. It seems she has developed a taste for showing off her breasts the same way her brother took a shine to grabbing his crotch several years ago.

Janet needs to remember that we really don't need to be seeing her breasts, not now anyway. She also needs to remember that she is 40 years old! She can leave the strip tease thing to the younger lasses who have perkier breasts to show, not that I am advocating them doing that but Janet is at the age where her talent is what should be shining through, not her titties.

Janet has always been a good performer, not the greatest singer, but she had show-stopping moves that put her right up there with her now black-listed brother, Michael, as one of the greatest performers of the modern era. Remember her break-out video Pleasure Principle? Those were some 'mad' moves.

But whatever 'pleasure' she may have been providing by showing off her breasts from about the time she released that self-titled album Janet several years ago, is now gone because in the years between then and now, almost every picture she took was in some way highlighting her breasts. That has now got old like the rest of her and even though she still looks great, it doesn't quite have the same effect anymore. The mystery is gone, the last of it during that Super Bowl half-time show.

Speaking of mystery, now that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are going their separate ways, a judge is to rule on who gets custody of their child Bobby Christina Brown. I don't envy that judge because that has got to be one of the hardest decisions ever. How do you choose between a crack-addicted 40-plus year old, now bankrupt former superstar and a weed-smoking, video-'ho' loving, former superstar? I think the judge should choose the easy way out and send the child to stay with her grandma Cissy Houston. Scratch that. She raised Whitney. That child is doomed.
