Janet Jackson’s book “True You: Finding and Loving Yourself” is a bona fide best seller and while she’s on her “Up Close and Personal” 35 city tour, she’s promoting the book between concerts. She popped into Book Soup in Hollywood and was greeting by a line of hundreds of people hoping for signed books. How she has time to fit her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana into her frantic life remains to be seen. He certainly won’t forget her – not long ago she surprised him with a fabulous gift: the much coveted 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors – in mint condition.

WISSAM AL MANA HOPES TO KNOCK JANET JACKSON’S SOCKS OFF

What do you buy for the girl who has everything? Janet Jackson’s boyfriend Qatar businessman Wissam Al Mana happens to be a billionaire so he has a lot of options. Wissam decided to ultimate gift for Janet would be Neverland – or what’s left of it. He’s quietly attempting to purchase Michael Jackson’s legendary property near Santa Barbara because he knows Janet has sentimental feelings about it. Now THAT’S what we call a thoughtful gift.

JANET JACKSON WANTS TO INTRODUCE HER NEPHEW

For some reason Janet Jackson chose to bring her nephew, Austin Brown, to the NY premier of her movie “For Colored Girls” instead of her Arabic boyfriend Wissam Al Mana. Austin, 24, makes a decorative escort and HE just released a single “Target Practice,” this month. Austin is the son of Janet’s oldest sister Rebbie and he’s definitely up and coming. (Why didn’t SOMEBODY tell Janet her pants are too long?)

JANET JACKSON AND WISSAM AL MANA: A PERMANENT VACATION?

Janet Jackson, 44, has never been as social as she’s become with her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana, 34, from Qatar. She’s been seen all over Europe with him, including Fashion Week in Paris, on vacation in Sardinia, and he accompanied her to New York where she put on a private concert at Radio City Music Hall. Now they’re back in Paris and going to the gym together. Since they started dating, Janet has lost around 20 pounds, so he’s a good influence. But when does this mogul have time to run his empire?

JANET JACKSON IS DATING AN ARAB

Janet Jackson was seen last December at a fashion show with Wissam Al Mana (Above, on her right) and they are still an item. Janet was seen with her Arabic boyfriend in Europe after she got her hair cut short. Wissam, 35, happens to be from an oil rich country – Qatar- and his family is loaded. He’s a very hip and fashionable guy, but when he’s home he wears traditional white Arabic apparel. (And most of the Qatar women are still shrouded in black burkas. Get the picture?) It’s nice to see Janet experiencing an educated, sophisticated man, and we think their cultural differences make them a fascinating pair. Although they’re not all THAT different- Janet’s brother Jermaine is Muslim too.
