In late 2009, Janet Jackson released her 34-track hits collection 'Number Ones,' but kept busy in 2010 by penning her first book, 'True You,' and appearing in two Tyler Perry films -- 'For Colored Girls' and 'Why Did I Get Married Too?' -- the latter which spawned her 35th hit 'Nothing.' All that time away from touring has led Janet to miss her fans much and make plans for her biggest escapade yet ... but there's a catch. The icon wants her fans to pick the 35 cities for her "largest ever world tour" in 2011 behind 'Number Ones.' Fans can vote and map out the schedule at JanetJackson.com.

Fans are encouraged to submit questions about her recent turn in movies, book and music to @theboomboxblog on Twitter and The BoomBox on Facebook, of which fifteen will be chosen. Janet reveals more details in the video below.

Randy Jackson has insisted that several tracks on Michael Jackson's new album do not feature his vocals.
The late singer's brother claims that a number of new songs on the album are not sung by Jackson, and admits he was immediately "suspicious" of the project when music bosses banned family members from visiting the studio while the tracks were completed.
In a series of posts on his Twitter page, he said: "Me and my nephew were the first to say that it wasn't his voice on some of the tracks. The family and the executors of the Estate, Branca and McClain, are not on the same page.
"I became suspicious about the album when I heard [that] armed guards were involved. Since my brother's passing, John McClain insisted that no family members were allowed at his studio where the project was being completed."
He continued: "My first thought was, 'What are they trying to hide?' Teddy Riley (producer) was brought in just to mix and insisted on switching studios, at which [point] he called me to come down and hear my brother's music.
"I heard the music and I immediately said it wasn't his voice. Some of the songs are him, and some aren't. I would bet my life on that."
Jackson also insisted that music bosses were being "harsh" and "more concerned about making money off his death".
He added: "They could care less about why and how he died, or maybe they already know."
Michael Jackson's posthumous album Michael is released on December 14.
