Miss Jackson is set to hit the stage – not the concert stage like we all thought, but the casting stage as she prepares to star in Tyler Perry’s upcoming flick, “Why Did I Get Married.” In her forthcoming role, Jackson will star opposite of Tyler Perry in the film based on the stage play of the same name. The film revolves around a married couple who go away each year to examine their marriage along with other couples. However, this time a sexy vixen joins one of the couples and causes loads of trouble for the others. Jackson, who has been acting since age eleven, has not graced the silver screen since her starring role in Nutty Professor II in 2000.

Now that Perry is Hollywood’s golden boy, the upcoming role is good news for Jackson who is still struggling to get over the not-so-successful release of her album “20 Y.O.” The album sold slightly over 296,000 copies during its first week, which was considered a disappointing debut for the starlet. Jackson’s tour was scheduled to begin this summer; however filming for Perry’s production also begins on March 5th in Vancouver moving on to Atlanta later in the year. So is this in unofficial confirmation that Jackson will not tour at all? Fans keep your fingers crossed.

Whether Ms. Nasty decides to-tour, or not-to-tour, fans will still be able to watch her at work in the new Tyler Perry Film that is sure to be a box office success. Already set to join Jackson in the film are Jill Scott and Sharon Leal of “Dreamgirls.” Although there is no official date of when the film will be completed, let’s just hope we can see Janet on stage one more time doing what she does best – being in complete Control.
