Janet Jackson Bows Out Of Lena Horne TV Movie
Reuters reports that a planned ABC television movie about the life of singing great Lena Horne has become the latest casualty of Janet Jackson’s breast-baring Super Bowl performance. Jackson bowed out of the TV movie, and executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron quit in support of her, after Horne refused to go along with the project as long as Jackson remained cast to play her in the film, publicists for Jackson and the producers said on Tuesday. “Janet is no longer part of the (project) because Lena didn’t want her in it,” Jackson spokesman Stephen Huvane said. “ABC and the producers were supporting Janet, and Janet realized this wasn’t going to change, so she needed to bow out, and then the producers bowed out with her.”
