JANET JACKSON: HAPPILY, BUMPILY, PREGNANT AT 50!!!

Born in  Gary, Indiana in the United States on the 16^th of May as the youngest of nine children including the late ‘King of pop’ Michael Jackson and with the release of a total of 11 albums in her career as a singer, armed with at least seven Grammy awards including several appearances in TV series as well as great roles in movies created by people such as Tyler Perry and since 2012 got married to a Qatari billionaire husband, Wissam al-Mana, Janet Jackson is one of the happiest women on earth at the moment as she and her ‘boo’ have officially announced that she’s pregnant. Not just pregnant but beautifully pregnant and expecting her first child at 50!!!!!

While posing for a picture with her growing bump, in her own words to People magazine said "We thank God for our blessing".

Earlier in the year in April, there were speculations about her being pregnant after she postponed her 'Unbreakable' tour, saying she wanted to focus on planning a family with her husband. According to the video posted on twitter in April she had said “there's been a sudden change. I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family" and added "Please if you can try and understand that it’s important that I do this now” until she was recently spotted in London shopping for baby essentials.

The People magazine quoted a source close to the Jackson family as saying: "She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well. She actually feels very good about everything."

This is sure, Great news to the ears!

WHEN 'CHILD STARS' BECOME ADULTS OVERNIGHT.

 

Who would have thought American pop singer and songwriter, Lady Gaga would transform from this sweet little girl as seen in the picture into what…oops…who we all now know as the ‘crazy’ Lady Gaga of today. I made up my mind Gaga was officially a ‘weirdo’ when she appeared for an award a few years back dressed in a meat outfit. She amazed everyone then and is still doing same even today on red carpets with what many have termed ‘hypnotic come-outs’.

Also, I’m sure many of us never anticipated the shock we got when sweet little Hannah Montana blew up to become the hyper-sexualized, Miley Cyrus who has gained wide ‘wild’ followership by many of her likes even as many parents have refrained their kids from watching her videos as a singer and would rather make their wards stick with the old looks of Miley by making them watch the ‘old’ Hannah Montana as against the new one in Miley Cyrus.

This is what you get when children become adults overnight.

We’ve all realized by now that no one can tell what people would become just by taking into perception their childhood looks. It takes God, destiny and most importantly how we raise these kids.

Check out a few other pictures of ‘child stars’ and how they have transformed over the years.
