Janet Jackson is on the cover of the October 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. In the magazine, which hits stands September 19th, she discusses the loss of her brother Michael Jackson, her memories of him, how she is comping, as well as her taste in fashion.

Janet has avoided watching television so she won’t have to hear all the negativity and theories about her brother’s death.

“It will drive you crazy,” she says. “People can have rhinoceros skin, but there’s a point when something’s going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven’t watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, How’s Obama doing? I haven’t read a newspaper. On top of that, [we've lost] a family member.”

She has been filming Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too in Atlanta and is also working on material for a new studio album.

I am sure there was a good bit of airbrushing, but Ms. Rhythm Nation still looks great on the cover.
