The One That Didn't Get Away: Katy Perry Ties Janet Jackson & George Michael Musical Record



It has indeed been a very good year for Pop Tart Katy Perry! Not only has she recently celebrated her 1st anniversary with hubby Russell Brand, she's also tied a Billboard record shared by two of the biggest superstars in the music industry, Janet Jackson and George Michael.

Perry's latest smash hit song  "The One That Got Away" has become the 6th Top 5 Billboard hit from her multimillion copy selling CD Teenage Dream, which ties the previous record. George Michael accomplished the feat in 1987-1989 with hits from his top selling Faith album, while JJ did so in 1989-1991, with a long succession of hits from her Grammy-winning Rhythm Nation 1814 album.

So, it's been over twenty years since an artist has achieved the rarefied status of Six Top 5 hits from one album, which is very impressive. With two more weeks left in the year, is it possible that Perry's "The One That Got Away" will hit Number One on the charts (it's currently sitting at Number Four), breaking another record? The song is currently available of .88 cents on iTunes, so it's a pretty good bet that it will reach Number One...

My Love Will Never Do (Without Fur): Janet Jackson To Design Fur Outerwear Line

"Nothing comes between me & my Calvin Klein's, except maybe fur!"


Pop superstar Janet Jackson definitely will NOT be on PETA's Christmas card list this year, as it has been announced that she will be endorsing a new line of fur outerwear. (She must still think it is 1986...)

The Rhythm Nation bombshell will be designing a line of "luxe fur outerwear and accessories" for the Blackglama collection that will debut in stores just in time for the Black Friday insanity.  The collection will be comprised of 15 pieces ranging from coats, jackets, vests, scarves, gloves and other high-end fashion accessories. All contain both classic and contemporary elements and utilize Blackglama mink in conjunction with other materials such as leather.  "The art of fashion is one of my great passions," states Ms. Jackson in an official statement .  "I've worked for years to bring a collection into the world.  Partnering with Blackglama is very exciting."

The exclusive line is priced for the luxury market and will retail in the Fur Salon at select Saks Fifth Avenue and the Maximilian Fur Salon at select Bloomingdales. Red, fake blood stains will be provided free by protestors on the street!
