Prince and The Time Are “Dirty”
Posted by Bossip Staff
Janet Jackson reflects on a memory in a recent Parade interview:
“When I was 16, I was promoting my first album and I went with Mother to see The Time’s concert with Prince. I did not want to sit next to Mother because I knew they were dirty. I was trying to be cool and calm, but oh my God, I was sweating bullets! How am I going to sit at this show and watch Vanity Six and Prince and The Time and sit next to Mother? She’s going to think, ‘Good Lord, what is my baby into? She really needs more of God in her life! Where did I go wrong?’ I could just hear Mother blaming herself for everything! Luckily, I got someone else to swap seats with me so I was able to enjoy the show and have the same great time I would’ve had if I were there without Mother.”
“Mother” that just sounds creepy on some Mommy Dearest ish. Not my mother or my mom, but just “Mother”. No wonder those Jackson kids are all screwed up.

“I did not want to sit next to Mother because I knew they were dirty.”
^^^^^
AHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! WHY THEY GOTTA BE DIRTY, WHY NOT EXPLICIT OR SEXUAL OR EVEN RAUNCHY LOL…..DIRTY !! LMAO !
sounds like sum ish from that movie “psycho”. norman bates talked like that…..
oh yeah….FIRST!!!!
sounds like Mother is Catherine’s first name..on a fashion tip, I LOOOOOOOOVE the blue jacket..
*****ody cares Janet fix your face. Have some kids go sit down
That’s how they grow up in Hollyweird. The photos are HOT!! Janet wears the 40’s well.
Janet, you are STILL hot…strange than a mo fu but HOT! ssssssssssssssss
Bossip Can Kiss My *****….LoL. Yall Always Gotta Make Someone Sound Crazy Over The Most Normal *****. When Did Callin Ur Mom “Mother” & Ur Grandmom “Grandmother” Become a sign of insanity, lol…Are yall serious?
PS– Love that damn jacket
all the Jackson kids say Mother…
hey it’s how they grew up…
the real question is what do they call Joe….?
Probably called him anything to avoid those azz whoopings…
I’ve always felt it was weird the way they refer to their parents as mother and Joseph. I think Michael just calls her Katherine. It’s all good though. Every family has their own way.
I love it! Janet was raised Jehovahs Witness so I’ll bet she couldn’t hoop and holla @ a concert next to her momma. The only thing crazy about the Jacksons is that Michael. Just because she calls her mother “Mother” doesn’t mean she’s sick or whatever you want to use as a conotation to the Jackson clan. You gotta give it to her though, she still looks great plastic surgery or not.
Nevermind the Mother thing. People call their parents all kinds of things…it doesn’t necessarily indicate there’s a problem. On another note, she looks beautiful in those pictures. Youthful and fresh.

^^^Girl, me too.

DITTO, VERY CREEPY. OH MOTHER IT’S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU…. BOOOO!!!
What’s creepy about her calling her Mother “Mother”?
I thinks its more strange that they call Joe Jackson “joseph” instead of Father or dad. Its more crazy that he insisted that they did this! Calling parents by their first names is a sign if disrespect to me. It makes the relationship to informal. With all that being said, she looks great in these pics!
I notices she has a personal ad at (MillMatch dot com). Is she still looking or it is just a joke from her fans? Her photos look every hot and popular on that site. who knows the truth?
yeah…that Mother thing is very “brady-ish” But she still my rolemodel in the body department so…Go Janet
why janet always gotta wear dominatrix boots .. i was feelin that outfit til it got down to the shoes she should have thrown on some louboutins or she could have been bare feet because that trench alone is killin it. i love the pop it gives to the otherwise bland photos.
Yea…those boots are her thing, but that jacket is to die for!
Her jacket is HOT!!!!! I want it!
Everyone knows that you have two choices with mothers. You either have a crazy mother or you are one!!! That’s all……two choices!!!
*Attention all Bossipers Important Marketing Ahead*
Well Marqueezy the sucka would like you too know he would actually like to be a slave for the ladies of Bossip. See the reason why he lets you sodomize him with a chainsaw every night is simply because he is what you call a male submissive. Not only is he easy to control (Hence the slave mentality.) But he has grown to love the feeling of enslavement. Why else would he stay on Mono’s chopping block for this long with no arms to swing.
Ladies this is the perfect man for you. Take him home control, degrade, berate, and give the b$tch the spotlight he deserves. Have him clean your boots with his tongue. For the sexy larger readers he is happy to help you carry those heavy saddlebags from room to room while you keep him on a hoe collar.
And the beautiful thing is you don’t have to touch him. He is in it for the sheer anti*****tion of a caress. If you really want to have fun Tie Marqueezy up. Then invite a reeeeeal man over.
Watch Marqueezy de Weasel squirm while you get yours endlessly. Get up in the middle of it and walk over pimp slap the sucka. Your mandingo doesn’t clean up downtown have second personality Kevin Cotex do it. Then let your real mandingo go back to work giving you that real pleasure you deserve.
Take advantage of this unbelievable deal now. He’s college educated in open field studies (Share cropping) so you don’t even have to work anymore he will support you for the ill treatment alone. This is more valuable then 15 Reggie Bush’s, a Brad Pitt and a young Denzel.
I am done Marqueezy de Sucka you are going to box yourself into a suicide and I am a lover not a killa.
It was bad enough you had to change your screen name. But it’s sucks to know you have to change your real name too. LOL
I reccommend Petunia!!! Sucka!
Janet is looking AWESOME!!! You go girl. I knew all those pics of you blowing up wasn’t the real deal and you do wear 40 well. The comment was a little extra but that is just because I am not used to speaking like that but if that is how she grew up then who are we to judge??
GO Janet…do that daxn thing!!
Mother and Papa Joe don’t take no mess. The Knowles learned from the best.
What wrong with saying “MOTHER”? Stop trying to make something out of nothing BOSSIP.
NEXT
I can just hear her whispering “Mother” and giggling while saying “…they were dirty.”
Yeah, I’m sure Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty….lol.
She’s so funny & presumptuous to me.
How strange; use of the term, “mother.”
Hilarious.

this sounds like lines from “Mary Poppins”
All of the Jackson kids are effin nuts…..can’t knock Janet’s wig game.. she got that ***** on lock
wELL MY MOM NEVER LET ME CALL HER MOTHER BECAUSE IT SOUNDED TOO MUCH LIKE I WAS GONNA ADD A F-BOMB AFTER IT. eSPECIALLY WHEN I TRIED TO BE SARCASTIC WITH IT…
Janet is my idol. If I had to model my dream life after anyone’s it would be hers.
http://www.iheartmysugardaddy.blogspot.com
Yep that coat is FYRE!!! But that wig is hideous and her face is looking to damn plastic these days like Lil Kim. The comment is a little strange but then again them Jackson’s are strange so hey it goes hand in hand. I will say this though her body is banging to be 40 she bounced back cuz she was huge not long ago.
My cousins call their moms “mother” and they were Jehovahs Witness at one time too. It’s probably just the term they use in that denomination. Nothing strange about though, just different. I grew in the north but I live in the south now and everybody down calls their aunt “auntie”. I had never heard anyone up north say that but its not weird, just different dialect. Anyway, Janet is the most beatiful entertainer in the game. Believe it or not she is actually prettier in person. I see her all the time and up close (no photoshop in person). Trust me. She has not had all the surgery people thinks she has or she would not look this good still.
It’s always something. Everytime there’s a new CD about to be dropped,from anybody, we have to hear new confessions. So what about “yo momma GIRL”. Go on and drop that ***** and let us be. Please no more family history…I swear we get it!!!!! You are 42 now. *****ody is checking for The Time, and Vanity Six anyway. Now Prince…a whole different story. You should’ve said something like “you and Prince got down”, now that would’ve been great Bossip!!!
The Jacksons have always called Katherine “Mother”. Anybody who’s seen that movie based on their life (comes on VH1 like once a month)will see they called her “Mother” throughout the entire mini series. So seeing Janet using the term now doesn’t surprise me at all. Its just what they do.
Janet and the whole clan are just funny. They are some peculiar folks.
And yeah I’m bout to go there… that ***** better look good, she has nothing else to do, that is her job! She has made a living off of shaking her *****, nothing wrong with it, a good gig if you can get it.
Because I am 34(couple years younger) I don’t go to the hairdresser, I don’t wear expensive clothes, I work out and eat right, get plenty of sleep…etc
I get compliments all the time on the way I look. So if I had all that she has at her disposal I would REALLY look good, so she has NO EXCUSE not to look good.
Janet better not bring her ***** out the house looking bad.
the whole jackson family is crazy, also have anyone every notice that when these people have a new album or a new movie , the come up with all this ***** that happen to them when they were kids, i tell these people are some sick motherf*uckers….
@ Mono *****
When did BOSSIP ever imply that it was exclusively a woman site? And if it is a women site, then what does that say for you? – *****uming that you’re a man…And another thing *****, stop *****uming that you’ve cyber-slapped me or Kevin.
Now you can impress these garden-variety aunt jemima *****-hoes with your long-winded ghetto coffee house diatribes on being the (supposed) enlightened black male, but you know and i know that your bull***** is nothing more than pseudo-intellectual psycho babble. In other words *****, go peddle your hustle somewhere else. I’m unimpressed.
Leave her alone…Every family has their way of doing things. Yall always hating on Janet. She looks pretty and she has clothes on.

You know what u get a life. I havent heard nothing new we havent heard before.
I can tell y’all are not Jackson fans cause you would know that all the kids call her “MOTHER”.
What I think is creepy is that she took her mother to a Prince/Vanity Six concert. Why? I could see her taking Joe but Katherine?
She looks absolutely fantastic in these pics!! The closeup is refreshing!! Do ur thing Penny!!!!
Are Black Americans that closed minded? You ppl have never heard other ppl called their Mother “MOTHER” . Whats the difference with calling your MOTHER , “MOTHER” or calling your MOM , “MOM”. I have heard it from both black and white, especially rich white folks.
I MISS THE 80s! Oh well, gotta move on! ANyway, I can NOT believe Janet gained all that weight hoping to get the role f Effie in dream girls! Poor thang is delusional!
FINALLY SOME JANET PICS THAT ARE FRESH, NATURAL, AND MATURE. That alien look was not good. The half naked look is getting old. Now, if we can only get Mariah Carey to do the same. The older they get, the more skin you see.
Bossip is soooo ignorant! My grandmother’s name was Catherine and all of her children called her “mother” there entire lives. Catherine’s grandchildren called her “Grandmother” ( myself included ) all their lives. The narrowminded thinking of the people who write for and frequent this site is what is “scary” to contemplate! There ain’t nothing weird about calling your mother “mother” my people are from N.E. Washington D.C. and are regular, decent folks. Come on now!
gimme a break!!!!!!
Zana, sit down. lol Saying “mother” DOES sound kind of creepy! ha ha ha ha
Bossip, it ain’t that serious.
Some people on here are so dumb of course calling her Mother, Mother is not creepy. The creepy thing is that she is not saying my Mother she is just calling her Mother. When normal people tell someone a story about their mother they say “I did not want to sit next to my mother” they don’t say ”
“I did not want to sit next to Mother” unless they are talking to their brothers and sisters.
Wrong again Henny Bossip! Maybe they’re all screwed up because they DIDN’T LISTEN TO WHAT “MOTHER” SAID!!!
BOSSIP there is nothing wrong with her calling her mother, “mother”,
you people find something wrong with any entertainer you don’t like…no matter what they say or do.
LMFAO @ Wenzel Dashington that pics is hilarious LMAO
@ Mz. Asia that is a cute coat…..
Sorry I meant *pic
I love me some prince!
@Marqueezy de Sucka
How’s the marketing working any new dates? LOL
@Bossip
Hey everyone, I just learned Marquise de Sade doesn’t like the Advertising we have done for him whatever you do don’t read my very long commentary. It’s hurting his feelings.
I can understand calling her “mother”, so to speak, but when she’s actually speaking ABOUT her mother, then why not just say “my” mother? It reminds me of that movie Flowers in the Attic. Creepy.
Janet is my girl and all but does she believe she gives pure performances?
Yes. Creepy. Repressed, more like? Not that I want to watch naughty stuff w/ my parent(s) either, but… Yes. Creepy. Sad.
I saw Mom & Pop Jackson once. Driving on Ventura Blvd.. You know we went thru several lights together and those folks never said a word to one another. You wanna talk about a business relationship, rather than based on love…! Even the business is slow.
At least Michael’s kids are GORGEOUS! Haven’t seen Blanket lately…
Maybe she is a nun
Oh, for crying out loud. I call my mother “Mother”. Give it a rest, Bossip.
Mother was/is used in the south mainly. Most people, like our grandmothers & grandfathers called their parents Mother…it’s a way of displaying the utmost respect.
@ JD…I agree!
lol
All the Jackson kids call their mother “Mother” but I think to them Mother is like her first name like Joe is their fathers first name. The reason she didn’t say I didn’t want to sit next to “my mother” is because if she would have been talking about her father who’s name is Joe she wouldn’t have said I didn’t want to sit next “my Joe” she would have said I didn’t want to sit next to “Joe”. Do you people get it? To the Jackson children “Mother” is to mother like “Joe” is to father (do you follow the break down people) The Jacksons were raised diffrent from us so you have to see were there are coming from if you called your father by his first name and your mother by mother it would be common for you to think of mother as her first name. Come on people use your brain before you make stupid comments. Some of you are thinking like 2nd graders and not like adults (Bossip staff included)!
You’all leave Katherine Jackson alone. They LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE their mother. Let’s also be fair. SHe did the best she could with what she knew at the time.
Look at Britney Spears and other child stars. As a poor parent, it sounds good. Your kid will be making all this money??? It doesn’t always work out, but when you are poor, it sounds good.
I like the colors on her(the trench coat and hair color). You stop acting crazy because she articulates. Outside of Poetic Justice have you ever heard her split a verb?
Nothing wrong with the term “Mother” she could be using is as a term of endearment..something some of you heathens might not know about…otherwise, Janet is the most sane/normal of all the Jacksons beside Tito and Rebbie…leave her alone!!!!
Actually you ignoramuses if you listen to most older black people they called their mom’s that. Read a *****king book or learn some history. There is nothing psycho about call your mother mother. What is wrong with you people. Sometime my race just irritates me.
My 8 year old daughter calls me Mother- its nothing wrong with it. I didn’t teach her to say that but I she says that more than she says mama or mom. I call my own mother, mama. She doesn’t like “mother” to much.
40 is the new 20 I swear!! Janet is killing it!!
No it doesn’t. My Mom is from the country. That is some throwback ish
Back in the day people did consider Prince and the Time dirty and some parents did go with their minor children to concerts.
all of my aunts and uncles call my granny Mother. Its a term of endearment for people over 40…50. Oh well, some of you lack common sense saying the term is creepy. Grow up!
My aunts and uncles call my Granny “Mother” too. It’s a respect thing.
WOW…Big deal…who cares? That was not worth writing a story over!!!
It was like the Jacksons were raised without emotion…that was creepy the way she’s refers to her mom as Mother…..*shivers*
Forget all the “mother” talk…..I’m wishing I could see Prince, Morris and Vanity all on one ticket. BTW I just saw Morris and the Time about 3 weeks ago and that fool still clowning.
So they call their dad Joseph and their mom Mother??? Proof something was seriously wrong in the Jackson house.
HA! Ah, Bossipists, you know damn well you’d call Janet Mother if she told you to.
i think it’s really cute and polite how they call their mother “mother”
