In a video obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the 49-year-old singer closed her eyes and stood still next to a mannequin donning a black concert costume, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Her fans who thought they would only get to see Jackson's collections at the museum went into hysterics after they noticed that the statue moved and that it was their idol.

The singer then took time to shake hands and take photographs with her fans. One of her fans even got a chance to kiss her cheeks.

In the video, a fan could be heard saying: "Janet, we love you."

Another fan explained the sweet surprise Jackson gave.

"I saw her and I said, 'Oh my God! That's her!'"

Another part of the video showed Jackson talking to a fan about her new album "Unbreakable".

"This is my favourite album, the cover, the title," she said.

Her fan responded: "Oh my God, it's a beautiful picture." Jackson was then escorted out by several bodyguards as she left the room.

Jenny McCarthy wants to pose nude for Playboy one last time

McCarthy made the announcement during her talk show "Dirty, Sexy Funny with Jenny McCarthy" on Wednesday, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The star admitted she's disappointed with Playboy's decision to stop publishing nudes next year.

"This is the thing I have a problem with. Playboy to me...is a classy magazine...a lot of people really do read it for the articles," she declared, noting that Hugh Hefner "worked hard on trying to find that Girl Next Door."

The former "The View" co-host worked at a Polish grocery store when she first posed for the magazine.

"When I did my test shoot there, I had one uni-brow and a giant bush to my knees. And they were like, 'You're in'," she recalled.

"They really captured that innocence of the women... almost like art...there was nothing ever skanky about the photos. I would always pick up the Playboys and think, 'God these women are so beautiful and it's so beautiful'," she added.

She said that the shoots never felt "embarassing" or "gross".

"It kind of breaks my heart that it's the end of that era, that we have to lose what I would consider very classy nudity in a magazine," she added.

"I would totally be willing to just take it all off one more time - just to say I'll be in the last one."

"Jessie fell hard for Luke, but over the summer she started having doubts," a source told The Sun newspaper, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

James had stopped following Jessie on Twitter and in the early hours of Thursday morning, she posted a motivational message on the micro-blogging website.

"You got this girl. You are stronger than you think," she wrote.

Earlier this month, James had shared a cryptic message on the site which read: "Love is all you need, when it's real."

The duo's split comes as a surprise to many as just a few months ago the "Bang bang" crooner was talking about her desire to start a family.

Asked what else she would like to do with her life, she said: "Have a baby - not today! But that's something that I hope that I'm blessed with in my life."

"For those of you who may not be aware, 'smize' is short for smiling with your eyes. To pull off a smize, you'll need to: squint, relax both your lips and eyebrows and then pretend as if a string is pulling up your face from above," Banks said, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"It all starts with the classic head tilt. Lead with your best side and work it," she added.

The model also insisted that your hair should be pushed away from the neck area to "flaunt it".

"Brush hair away from your neck onto the side you're leaning in towards, helping to leave your gorgeous neck bare. If you've got it, flaunt it," she said.

She then suggested that rather than taking a photo from high up, which people do to make themselves appear skinnier, it's better to take shots from below because it will "accentuate the length of your beautiful neck."
