Janet Jackson Reportedly May Flaunt 70-Lb Weight Loss In Super Bowl Cameo Amid Justin Timberlake Anxiety

Janet Jackson has been sizzling after losing 70 pounds following the birth of her first baby. Stunning crowds on stage with her newly slim figure, Jackson has turned into one of 2017’s celebrity weight loss winners. All that effort that Janet put into shaping up led to speculation that the songstress had slimmed down not just for her tour but for a return to the Super Bowl.

Janet Jackson And Her Breasts Changed Super Bowl Forever

It’s been more than a dozen years since Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Janet’s breasts created one of Super Bowl’s most memorable moments. That performance took place in February 2004, and Jackson was 38 at the time that she performed with Timberlake, 23, on one of the world’s biggest stages. Hollywood Life recalled that memorable Super Bowl moment.

“Justin tore off a piece of Janet’s stunning black Alexander McQueen dress, exposing her right breast with the nipple hidden by just a starburst-shaped covering.”

TV viewers saw only a glimpse of Jackson’s breast before the cameras quickly moved on. But the resulting scandal turned into Apology Gate for Janet. Now that Justin is returning to the Super Bowl stage, a source close to Jackson talked with Hollywood Life about Janet’s emotions regarding making a return herself.

Justin Timberlake And Janet Jackson: Together Again?

The big question is whether Jackson has received an invitation to join Timberlake at the Super Bowl. The insider revealed that it’s “not a 100 percent done deal” whether she’s been asked.

If Janet does get asked to join Justin at the Super Bowl, she is hesitant about her response because of what happened last time, according to the insider.

“[Janet] is leaning towards saying no. She was skewered the last time she did it from the NFL.”

After being slammed for what took place, Jackson is struggling to let go of her post-scandal, emotional turmoil, explained the source.

Michael Jackson Remembered

Adding to Janet’s reportedly conflicting emotions about stepping on the Super Bowl stage again, the insider revealed that she is hesitant about working with Pepsi again because of what happened to her brother Michael Jackson.

Although Jackson has worked with Pepsi herself previously, she is concerned that it would feel “weird” to repeat that performance because of Michael, according to the source.

“Pepsi is forever tied to her brother Michael [Jackson]’s permanent injury when his hair and head were burned.”

All of these factors have left Janet “at a crossroads” as to whether she would accept an invitation from Justin to perform with him at the Super Bowl stage, added the insider.

Janet Jackson Anxious But Willing To Consider Cameo?

However, one report claims that although Jackson is hesitant about joining Timberlake for a repeat of their Super Bowl show, she is considering flaunting her 70-pound weight loss in what would be a stunning, spotlight-stealing cameo.

Celebrity Insider described the songstress as nervous but “open” to creating a memorable moment with a Super Bowl cameo. The NFL’s statement has boosted speculation that Janet could participate in some way with Justin.

Emphasizing that “no ban” exists preventing Jackson from performing, the NFL punted on the question of whether Janet could show up as a guest star in a cameo.

“We are not going to comment on any speculation regarding potential guests. There may be no guests.”

At this point, Pepsi and the NFL are “excited” to showcase Timberlake, added the organization.

Those vague comments have served to increase speculation that Jackson may guest star. She reportedly has continued her intense diet and fitness, which have resulted in her best body ever, as the Inquisitr reported. In addition to perfecting those dance moves that she might show off at the Super Bowl, Janet followed a low-carb diet that consists primarily of protein and vegetables for her 70-pound weight loss success.
