According to recent news, Janet Jackson has confirmed the rumors that started last October that she is writing a book on weight loss.

In a recent interview with Billboard Magazine'', Janet said that she is writing the book in collaboration with her nutritionist David Allen and expects the book to be out by the end of 2008.

"Everybody asks me, men, women, how did I do it?. Even young people will come up to me and they have an issue with their weight and they're very concerned. So it's basically my journey. It's not just this sterile, weight loss and how to do it book, but my journey even from when I was a kid, being an emotional eater. It takes you through those moments in my life up 'til now and what worked for me. And hopefully within that, if it doesn't work for them, maybe they'll find something that does work for them and a nice place for them to be content with who they are". Janet Jackson
