Janet Jackson is speaking out for the first time about her brother Michael’s death and her break-up with producer Jermaine Dupri. On the media frenzy surrounding his death, she says “I haven’t watched the news in weeks. People can have rhinoceros skin, but there’s a point when something’s going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I had to ask my chef, How’s Obama doing? I haven’t read a newspaper.”

The last time Janet saw Michael was on May 14, two days before her 43rd birthday. It was a family celebration, the Jackson kids were running around, and she and her big brother hung out, ate Thai food, and tormented each other. “We had so much fun that day,” she says, her soft voice almost inaudible. “We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was.”

On if she’d ever get married again and dating: “I don’t know if I’ll get married again. I’ll put it like this: If God wants me to, then I will.” Dating? “Yeah, I’ve had people ask me out. I haven’t entertained any offers thus far, but I’m locking myself in my work right now.” Some might say boys smell anyway. “Yeah, they stink,” she chuckles, “and they’re dirty.”
