Janet Jackson released her 10th album, Discipline, on Tuesday, and while it has gotten some not-so-good reviews, Janet has staying power. She released her first record back in 1986,  incited many grade-school girls to dance to “Rhythm Nation” or “Escapade” at a talent show, and forced us all get in touch with our sappy, emotional side when she breathed the lyrics to “Again.” Today, she’s back to looking amazing, rockin’ bod and all (we’re not so sure about the super streaky highlights or semi-wavy hair but LOVE her with bangs). Not only that, but Janet doesn’t mind making fun of herself to get a laugh. See her star in an mock episode of My Super Sweet 16 after the jump.

Do you remember what was playing when you lost your virginity? Someone at The Frisky lost hers to Willie Nelson [Oh, heck, it was me.—Editor], which is an interesting choice, no? Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan lost his to Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” and Cobra Starship’s Ryland Blackinton was listening to the Home Improvement theme song. In a Virgin Mobile survey, 25 percent chose “It’s Your Love” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as the best song to lose your virginity to, which is just too sweet. But, like, how many guys have that in their iTunes? That song beat out “Feels Like the First Time”  by Foreigner, “Like a Virgin” by Madonna, and “Give It To Me” by Timbaland. Basically, those choices make us want to vomit, they’re so cliché.

A few years back, I was stood up on Valentine’s Day. He was a flaky musician, I was a fool. As I sat all alone on my sofa, in my new red dress, I thought to myself, “Gee, Valentine’s Day sucks if you don’t have a way to celebrate it.”  Luckily, that night, I had a full bottle of vodka in the freezer.  After I mixed myself a few too many drinks—and told him where he could go via voice mail)—I decided that I would start a new ritual of mix making for Valentine’s Day. What began as a drunken search through my music collection for a song that would perfectly sum up how sad/pissed I was about getting ditched on V-day (after three months of dating no less), grew into a holiday tradition of telling my love life via pop songs. This particular mix, entitled “You Can’t Screw The Hole In My Heart Too” was inspired by a bad break-up in which I didn’t get to keep the dog, but I luckily got to keep my pride… whatever’s left of it. The mix charts the arc of a heartbreaking split, all the emotions: confusion, anger, denial, loneliness, jealousy, desperation, and then the eventual sigh of defeat.  So, if you’re feeling it this Valentine’s Day, breakup with me. Misery loves company and a soundtrack.

The Puppini Sisters may sound like a ‘40s girl group, but their songs are thoroughly modern. On their new album, The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo, they cover Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love” and the Bangles’ “Walk Like An Egyptian” in addition to original material. It is really funny, though, to hear such an old-timey group harmonizing about things like not trusting the advice in a Cosmo quiz. On “Jilted,” the sisters, who aren’t really sisters, sing, “How did I get it so wrong?/I tried new positions, I learned his friends’ names, I made myself sit through football games…,” but we’re guessing that women back in the day had similar issues, even if they didn’t need to feign interest in ESPN.

Quit playing games with my heart! Oh wait, wrong boy band, but still, are New Kids on the Block getting back together or what?! People says yes, Danny says no, but then he tells you to go to the newly created NKOTB.com to check for announcements. You tease! I’m sure you boys, who are now almost 40, still got the right stuff. Leggings and Ray Bans are big again, it’s your turn to make a comeback. So, pack a bag full of condoms and hit the road already!  We’ve been waiting to be loved by you since the 80’s. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. [Perez Hilton]

In the grand tradition of Lindsay Lohan and Brittany Murphy, actress Scarlett Johansson has turned recording star. It may be shocking after her mediocre, albeit cute, karaoke version of Elvis Costello’s “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” in Lost in Translation, but ScarJo has been signed to a record deal. Slated for release in the May 20 by the recently revived Atco Records, her debut album was produced by Brooklyn indie rock idol, David Sitek from TV on the Radio and will feature cameos from the likes of goth guitar god Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The record entitled Anywhere I Can Lay My Head, will have one original song and 10 covers of Tom Waits tracks. This is good news for Scarlett’s fans and for Tom Waits fans like us—we love his moody love songs—but even better news for Waits who will finally be able to wank to his own music. [Us Weekly]

Just because you’re the cutest celebrity couple of the moment does not mean you should pull a Marc Anthony and J.Lo and do a duet together in front of a nationwide audience at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Seal, you are in, Heidi you are out! [Red Lasso]

Utilizing a smoke machine, glimmering disco balls, totally ‘70s suit-age, and the keytar, Snoop Dogg seriously takes sexy back to the future in his video for “Sensual, Seduction.” Naturally, there’s pot smoking too! [Best Week Ever]

Forget batting the eyelashes or sending over a drink, Brit pop star and all around cutie pie Lily Allen takes a slightly more juvenile…err, scandalous approach to flirting with men she likes.

If I fancy someone I’m quite immature about the whole thing, and just punch them on the arm a bit. It certainly breaks the ice. And you keep punching lower and lower until you’ve got their d**k in your hand and then that’s it. You’ve got them.

Yowza! Her tactic has certainly worked, as Lily was betrothed to music producer Seb Chew for a few years and is now dilly-dallying with one of the Chemical Brothers. Wonder if Chew was equally as afraid of her aggressiveness during a breakup—many of the songs on Lily’s hot debut Alright, Still are revenge anthems that call out past loves for their bad bedroom behavior and small (below the belt) stature. Although, you think she would have noticed a guy was “Not Big” with that initial “I think I like you” punch… [Monsters and Critics]
