Janet Jackson developed alarmingly-early, as a child star. For this reason, the decision was made to bind her chest so as not to appear older than her 11 years during the filming of Good Times. The singer is releasing a self-help book. She spoke to ABC News about the body image struggles that led her to pen the volume. ‘I was actually doing Good Times, and on our first day of shooting they bound my chest because they thought my breasts were too big,’ she said. ‘I got the part when I was 10, we started shooting when I was 11. I was developing early. It made me feel that the way that I am, it’s not good enough. That’s why I decided to call [the book] True You.’ Pictures show Janet Jackson at the Premiere of For Colored Girls at the Ziegfeld Theatre in NY on October 25, 2010.

It should be noted this isn’t documented as fact, but the story instead comes from a source account of what’s going on behind-the-scenes of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. According to sources who spoke to Pop Eater’s Rob Shuter, Teresa Giudice wasn’t holding out on salary negotiations for the good of her health. Nor was she scoping for more coins to buy further gaudy homeware for whatever tacky shack she’s living in at the moment. She and her husband still have some pretty serious money problems. And even the private sale of her home and property, after the public auctions were called off, could only do so much. A ‘friend’ close to the recently-bankrupt couple said Giudice wasn’t being money-hungry when she held back on salary negotiations mere days before shooting was supposed to start. Though, that was the way it looked (to me) on the surface. ‘I think people deserve to know the truth,’ a close friend says. ‘Bravo pays Caroline and Jacqueline more than Teresa and she isn’t holding out because she thinks she’s bigger… she just wants to make the same.’ I guess those magazine covers aren’t paying that well. In terms of popularity, if one counts those covers, she actually is the most popular person on the show.

The Rocky Horror Glee Show, take on Rocky Horror Picture Show’s Time Warp.

This build-up has mostly gone over my head; partly because it has been nearly three weeks of building-up, which is long enough for me to get bored, and partly because I’ve never seen the actual The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1975. Nor do I care to. However, I guess this is a big deal as one of the episode’s musical numbers has already been released online through HULU. Also known (by me) as You Live Outside America? HDU! This episode, shown in less than a week, does have a cute title: The Rocky Horror Glee Show. From this clip one could also assume baby gay Kurt, played by Chris Colfer, gets some more much-needed screen time. The video above shows Colfer take the lead in The Time Warp.
