Janet On Her Iconic Rolling Stone Cover:

Janet Jackson discussed her infamous Rolling Stone cover during a recent interview on "The Tonight Show." Janet famously posed topless for the iconic shot with her ex-husband, Rene Elizondo, covering her breasts with his hands. Almost twenty years later, the pop megastar explained how she got the idea.

"Patrick Demarchelier, shot that cover; I was like 25 or something like that," Janet told host Jay Leno. "Actually, when I was shooting Poetic Justice, we were staying in San Francisco and I came out of the tub and I got this idea. I was wrapped in my towel and I thought “Oh, this might make kind of a cool cover.” That’s really how it all happened and that was kind of the last shoot of the day and the only shot we did indoors."

Rihanna Steamy, Sexy, Hot, Pure Beauty Rolling Stone OutTakes

Earlier this year, pop superstar Rihanna graced the cover of Rolling Stone. Apparently, the photo shoot was too hot for print and some of them ended up on the editorial desk. Now you can finally see the ones that didn't make the cut.

Take a look.

This two-piece has single-handedly redefined the word "denim."

Her tank top and panties set may be one of the reasons why this was considered too HOT for print!

Are those boy shorts painted on? YES!

And here she's clad in an amazing pair of heels with studded embellishments and an open toe. Rih quickly turns a vacation destination into a high fashion editorial.

Did you peep the chain belt add-ons detailing the bikini bottom? Owww!

Flawless.

Get the point?

"The Message" Going To Hall of Fame

"The Message," the seminal classic single from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five will be the first hip-hop recording to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song was among 25 songs selected by the Recording Academy for cultural and historical significance.

“The Recording Academy is dedicated to celebrating a wide variety of great music and sound through the decades,” said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. “We are especially honored to welcome this year’s selection of some of the most influential recordings of the last century. Marked by both cultural and historical significance, these works truly have influenced and inspired audiences for generations, and we are thrilled to induct them into our growing catalog of outstanding recordings.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech, Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” the Rolling Stones’ album Exile On Main St and recordings by Mahalia Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Cosby, Leroy Carr and Gene Autrey were also inducted.

Nicki Minaj On 'Queen of Hip Hop

Nicki Minaj was flattered at Rolling Stone magazine calling her the new 'Queen of Hip Hop' some months back. Nicki sounded humbled by the recognition but acknowledged that there is no real weight to the 'title,' and that she doesn't make music so that she can be dubbed the 'queen' of anything.

"It was very, very amazing to me," Minaj said. "I was so excited 'cause [Rolling Stone's] really respected, and then when I went on all the TV shows, they kept on saying, 'She's been dubbed the New Queen of Hip-Hop by Rolling Stone magazine,' so I was like, that happened at the perfect time...I'm honored because I obviously have been working hard to get to this place. Whether or not I'm the queen of anything, everybody's gonna have their own opinion and I don't do this thinking 'I'm the queen of this, I'm the queen of that.' I just feel like I'm working hard and I just want people to recognize that."

Rihanna's Talking Freaky

Rihanna's recent Rolling Stone cover is getting a lot of attention for the skimpy, tattered shorts she's wearing in the shot, but the story within the pages is almost as revealing. The pop star opens up about sexuality and her fantasies. Yep--she goes there.

Warning: celebrity overshare coming in 5...4...3...2...

"Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun," Rihanna said. "You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your sh*t. That's fun to me...I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned - you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I'd rather have him use his hands."

Hmmmmmmm.

Cover Rihanna Rolling Stone Pure Sex

She loves going to the grocery store and cooking for herself; enjoys a nice chardonnay at the end of the day; forgoes weed (or at least claims to); and has a killer story about getting blackout drunk on bathtub moonshine while on vacation in Mexico.

Rihanna says that if it weren’t for singing she might have been a psychologist, and she certainly has a deep sense of empathy. “I actually feel really bad for my father,” she says. He was abused too – he got beat up by his stepdad when he was young. He has resentment toward women, because he felt like his mom never protected him, and unfortunately, my mother was the victim of that. I’m not giving him excuses. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I still blame him. But I understand the source.”

Rihanna is unattached. “I’m not dating,” she says. “I’m not sexing, I’m not even sexting. It’s on complete nil.” She says she hasn’t been with anyone since breaking up with Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp, which went down before the public found out in December, so it’s been at least four months since she got any action. “You think you’re disappointed?” she says. “Try being in this body.”

Still, she says, there are alternatives. “When you’re not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing. Well, Skype is safer. But a picture lasts a long time. When you’re alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy.”

That said, she adds, “I haven’t gotten a d*ck picture in a long time. I think people are a little afraid. It can turn out bad.”

“I like to take charge, but I love to be submissive,” she says. “Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho and in charge of your shit. That’s sexy to me. I work a lot, and I have to make a lot of executive decisions, so when it comes to being intimate, I like to feel like I’m somebody’s girl.”

What else does she like? “I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun. I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. . . . I’d rather have him use his hands.” She goes on to recount a recent trip to a sex shop in Sydney called the Toolshed, where she left with two full bags of whips, blindfolds and dildos. The takeaway? “Don’t go to a sex store tipsy.”

“[Chris Brown and I] don’t have to talk again ever in my life. I just didn’t want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did to me was a personal thing – it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can’t perform at awards shows – that definitely made it difficult for him. That was the only thing it was going to change, so I didn’t care. But you can never please people. One minute I’m being too hard, and the next minute I’m a fool because I’m not being hard enough.”

“When I think about it, I really do take some pleasure in the negativity,” she says. “I don’t want to say turned on by it – but I’m turned on by it.”
