Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson stars with Tyler Perry in "Why Did I Get Married?" She spoke to Nicki Gostin.

You ' re the biggest star in the movie. Did you have the biggest trailer?
No, I think Tyler's was bigger than mine.

Were you second biggest?
Probably.

The Us Weekly cover about your weight loss was a huge seller. Why?
Because it's an issue that everybody has, everybody can relate to.

What ' s your guilty pleasure?
Probably caramel apples.

Don ' t you find your teeth sort of stick together?
It's not hard caramel, it's soft.

What about Ring Dings?
I've never heard of Ring Dings.

You were on " Diff ' rent Strokes. " Was there a curse on those kids?
I wouldn't say a curse. It's just being in this business is really difficult, especially when you grow up in it and still have a career at it as an adult. It's not an easy task, and your parents have to have a really tight hold on the reins from day one. I think that's where it all begins.

What advice do you have for Britney?
A lot of people are passing judgment. No one knows what she's going through. Maybe that's where I would begin, by asking what's troubling her, if anything.

You gave Paula Abdul her big break. Don ' t you think you should be getting some " American Idol " money?
No, not at all. That's very funny that you said so.
