Africa's version of the Europa League or Cup came to an end yesterday after SuperSports United was held to a barren draw at home.

TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo defended superbly to force a 0-0 draw at SuperSport United of South Africa Saturday and retain the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Congolese club restricted the home team to just one shot on target in the second leg of the final in Pretoria, which saw each team have a player sent off late on, and won the secondary African club competition 2-1 on aggregate.

Mazembe became only the second club after 2006 winners Etoile Sahel of Tunisia to lift the trophy without losing a match.

The ‘Ravens’ won eight games and drew six after entering the Confederation Cup at the play-off stage having being demoted from the CAF Champions League.

Apart from two Confederation Cup titles, Mazembe have won the Champions League five times, the Super Cup three times and the now defunct African Cup Winners Cup once.

Those 11 trophies make them the second most successful club in CAF competitions after Al Ahly of Egypt, who have won 19 titles.

Malia Obama was recently photographed kissing someone with royal ties! The daughter of former US President Barack Obama was seen smooching Rory Farquharson, a British former public schoolboy who she recently met at Harvard, the university they are both attending. It has been revealed that her 19-year-old boyfriend from across the pond is linked to the British royal family. According to Daily Mail, Rory's second cousin was one of Queen Elizabeth's most trusted aides: Andrew Farquharson. Andrew was named Assistant Master of the Household at Buckingham Palace and was responsible for a budget of thousands of pounds for food and drinks at various events held at Balmoral, the Scottish holiday home to the royal family.

After a qualification campaign that never saw them look confident or cohesive, the Azzurri will spend next summer watching the tournament on television. As they do so, the players will reflect on their part in what has undoubtedly been one of the worst two-year stints in the history of a proud national team of one of the game’s most prominent footballing countries.

Before looking at the sorry state in to which Calcio has descended, let us take a moment to praise the side which ultimately knocked Italy out. Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden reinvented themselves as a well-organised, hard-working and energetic team who ran tirelessly to implement Janne Andersson’s tactical plan.

As a unit they held the Azzurri at bay for over 180 minutes, keeping calm and never letting a vociferously partisan San Siro affect them, the visitors looking in control even as their hosts poured forward with a passionate crowd roaring their approval.

But when all is said and done, the fact that a run of being present at 14 consecutive tournaments has come to an end has very little to do with the effort of the proud Scandinavians. Instead, the blame should be laid entirely at the feet of one man: Italy’s Commissario Tecnico Giampiero Ventura.

Forget the ridiculous complaints about foreign players damaging the development of homegrown Serie A talent. Forget penalty shouts for a foul on Matteo Darmian or even the shot-stopping heroics of Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen because, in truth, the work of the man on the sidelines hindered his team in almost every match of his tenure.

He arrived promising to bring through the exciting crop of attacking young players overlooked by his predecessor Antonio Conte and insisted his lack of success at club level would not affect his ability to lead the Azzurri. Yet Ventura failed summarily to do the former and, as time wore on, he also proved that the latter did influence his choices.

With time ticking away on Italy’s qualification hopes, the 69-year-old remained as cautious as you would expect from a man whose five previous jobs were with Messina, Hellas Verona, Pisa, Bari and Torino. The team ended the match with three central defenders on the pitch and with Lorenzo Insigne – arguably Serie A’s most in-form attacking player – as an unused substitute.

Napoli’s Jorginho finally made his full debut and shone in the first half, his passing the reason for the team’s best chances, as he showed why he should have been part of the squad long ago. His omission was baffling, but given that Ventura played just two central midfielders in Madrid against Spain, it was by no means his worst decision.

That suicidal 4-2-4 formation was overrun by La Furia Roja and left Italy to face the playoffs, where the Coach continued to make frankly ridiculous decisions and comments. In the first leg he sent on a bemused Insigne to play as a central midfielder, only to express his “surprise” at the physical approach of Sweden, something any casual observer of the sport would have fully expected.

The only hope was that the players would manage to overturn the result in spite of his errors, but it proved impossible and now Italy must face the reality of just how far they have fallen. If nothing else, Ventura’s time in charge must serve as a warning of what can happen with the wrong man at the helm.

Those tasked with rebuilding the national team must recognise that this failure has brought an unacceptable and unforgivable end to Gigi Buffon’s stellar international career, that a generation of players have to rediscover every quality that made the Azzurri a side to fear. They’ve got a long way to go.

The man is from Toto local government for crying out loud. How in the world does she not expect him to love the damn thing LMOA.

The Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Owerri - Professor Francis Chukwuemeka Eze seems to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.

It's barely a year since he assumed office but has an affinity for trouble. First the VC was in a mix for indiscriminate increase of tuition fees which met heavy resistance and protest from students of the institution. Much later, Professor Francis Chukwuemeka Eze had non teaching staff protesting over a cut in salaries and poor welfare.

The Staff was not spared as they also grieved over the poor conditions meted out by the current VC. Now the major host community of the school, Eziobodo seems to have felt the heat of Professor Francis Chukwuemeka Eze yet again as a newly constructed road by NDDC which links to the school and co-incidentally is a major entrance and exit to and from the community was barricaded with a gate which is controlled jointly by the school authorities and the community's vigilante group.

The bone of contention now is the fact that Professor Francis Chukwuemeka Eze stopped commercial motorcycles from operating in the school without a memo or proper consultation with the indigenes who use this as a source of livelihood; introducing the school's shuttle which is far below demand and restricts access for passerby's who are either moving out or coming into the community. The VC broke the carmel's back with this final straw; he stopped indigenes of the host community from dredging from their river 'ota miri' and supplying sand to their customers only for him to install his own dredgers not in the name of the institution but for personal gains and demands the people of the community to buy fine sand from him.

You will recall that the VC has been using the Police Force especially men from Nekede Division to illegally arrest people and students from Eziobodo with certain informants i.e Ja-rule from Ihiagwa community leading the team just to frustrate efforts of protesters. Laptops have been seized for no just cause and insecurity on the increase for fear of the police and not thieves. This is a distress call as Eziobodo community is in urgent need of the authorities to cushion the effect of a power hungry VC. Efforts to reach the VC has proved abortive as men of the Police force came as usual to raid the community on thursday but met a strong resistance by the youths of Umuayo Village majorly in Eziobodo.

Nigerian Television Authority like other Government parastatal have refused to meet up with modern technology and broadcasting standard just like most of our institutions. From picture quality to poor television programs to boring anchor men/women and a host of other issues. NTA cannot broadcast local sporting events or league games talk less of live international events on it's own. Now see this screenshot which depicts a wrong name and caption for Nigeria's president and vice president on live TV.

Official balls to be used for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia has been revealed by adidas.

The Telstar 18 will be used by the world’s best players as they seek to claim the biggest prize in football next summer.

The new Telstar 18 is a reimagining of the first adidas World Cup matchball, the Telstar, which was used at the 1970 tournament in Mexico.

The name of the original came from its position as the ‘star of television’, decorated with black panels so the pattern would stand out on black and white televisions.
The ball went through extensive testing to ensure it suits the needs of the best players in the world.

Some of the leading national and club sides have been involved in the testing process, including Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Manchester United, Juventus, Real Madrid and Ajax.

The Telstar 18 also features an embedded NFC chip, enabling viewers to interact with the ball using a smartphone.

Upon interaction, each ball generates a unique identifier, unlocking content and information for the user.

Lol i tire for the team. What an excuse.

Benevento President Oreste Vigorito insists “we’ll stay in Serie A” and blames witches for their poor form so far.

The Stregoni have lost all 12 of their games so far this season, scoring five goals and conceding 31.

Though they lost in Turin on Sunday, the newly-promoted side took the lead and only lost 2-1 to Serie A’s freest scoring side.

“There’s so much praise from everywhere, but always without points,” Vigorito lamented, speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“The blame lies with the malignant influences which have always been associated with this city… witches. Yes, it’s true. I’m superstitious.

“Seeing Juventus closing down the game and defending is like a moral victory, I hope we can get a real one against Sassuolo.

“One thing is certain though, we’ll stay in Serie A because we won’t give up.”

Vigorito’s reference to witches fits with Benevento’s reputation as ‘The City of Witches’, due to the legend that witchcraft was practiced there in ancient times.

Citizens used to leave brooms or salt on their doorsteps, as the witches could only come out at night and they’d be forced to count the fibres of the brooms or the grains of salt before entering, by which time the sun would rise.

For this reason, Benevento's badge contains the image of a witch on a broomstick.

Originally the city was named Maleventum, meaning ‘site of bad events’ but it was changed to Beneventum when captured by the Romans in 268 BC.

Correct my brother. People with no regards for God.

At least 26 churchgoers were killed when a gunman opened fire inside First Baptist Church in Texas during Sunday’s service.

The victims range in age from 5 to 72, according to authorities. Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. said once the shooting began inside the Sutherland Springs, Texas, church, there was likely “no way” for congregants to escape.

Well i'm a Juventus fan so i've got to blow my very own trumpet and rightfully so. Juventus is Italy's Pride next to the Milan clubs so happy 120th birthday to my Club. The team will be putting on this special Jersey which was won in the early days of the club to remember veterans.

Today 5th November 2017 marks the 120th anniversary of the founding of Serie A’s most successful club, Juventus.

The club was founded on November 1, 1897 by students from the Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum school, and initially wore pink and black kits.

It was in 1903 that the famous Bianconeri kits were adopted, with then Juve player Tom Gordon Savage sourcing black and white kits from his hometown side, Notts County.

Savage had met his wife, Sarah, in Turin and had two children in the city, Ettore and Richard Savage.

The first Scudetto arrived in 1905, before a split in the club the following year led to President Alfred Dick forming a new side: Torino.

That league triumph wasn’t followed up by quick success, with the dominant Old Lady we know today only really coming into being after the club was bought by FIAT owner Edoardo Agnelli in 1923.

Agnelli financed the construction of a new stadium, and the club’s first ever professional Coach, the Hungarian Jenő Károly brought a second Scudetto in 1926.

The 1930s saw Juve really become a dominant force in Italy, winning five Scudetti in a row, a feat matched only be il Grande Torino, and beaten only by the current Bianconeri side.

However, following the last of those consecutive triumphs Juventus fell away, with Torino becoming Italy’s dominant side both before and after the Second World War.

The early 50s brought a further two Scudetti, but it was with the arrival of John Charles and Omar Sivori, joining Giampiero Boniperti up-front that once again took the Bianconeri up a level.

They became the first ever Italian side to win 10 league titles, winning the Scudetto in 1958, 1960 and 1961.

The 1970s and 80s brought further Scudetti, as well as European success in the form of the 1977 UEFA Cup, the 1984 Cup Winners’ Cup and the 1985 European Cup.

However, the latter was marred by tragedy as 39 Juve supporters were killed after Liverpool supporters broke through barriers at Heysel Stadium, causing a mass crush.

Aside from the 1986 Scudetto, there was a period of relative decline after Heysel, with Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan and a Napoli inspired by Diego Maradona ending the Turin club’s domestic dominance.

It was not until the arrival of Marcello Lippi for the 1994-95 season, with the cigar smoking Coach winning the Scudetto in his first campaign.

The following season Lippi led a side featuring Alessandro Del Piero, Antonio Conte and Gianluca Vialli to a Champions League triumph, though they would lose in the final in the two following seasons, having won Serie A.

Lippi left during the 1998-99 season, and his replacement Carlo Ancelotti could only finish second in the two subsequent campaigns, missing out on the Scudetto by one point and then two points to Lazio and Roma respectively.

That prompted the club to bring Lippi back, and he won another two Scudetti before losing the 2003 Champions League final to Milan.

Fabio Capello’s arrival in 2004 brought a further two Scudetti, but there was a dark cloud hanging over the club.

Wiretaps were unearthed of general manager Luciano Moggi attempting to influence the appointment of referees, and the club was demoted to Serie B, with the two previous titles stripped.

The 2004-05 Scudetto remains unassigned, with the following season’s title awarded to Inter as a result of the scandal.

Those titles remain a controversial issue, with Juventini and indeed the club continuing to count them, especially after prosecutor Stefano Palazzi accused the Nerazzurri of the same crimes in 2011.

However, the statute of limitations had expired and no charges were ever brought against Inter.
Though many of the team’s stars left rather than remaining with Juventus in Serie B, several stayed, including Del Piero, Gianluigi Buffon, David Trezeguet, Pavel Nedved and Mauro Camoranesi.

The Bianconeri won the second division, returning to Serie A at the first time of asking, but despite some qualified initial success they were unable to return to their pre-Calciopoli heights.

That all changed in the summer of 2011 when, after two seventh-place finishes in a row, Antonio Conte returned to the club as Coach.

Aided by a shrewd summer transfer campaign which saw Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner arrive in Turin, the former midfielder led the Old Lady to the title unbeaten.

Juventus have won the Scudetto in every season since then, taking six on the bounce as well as the last three Coppe Italia.

Despite their domestic domination though, European success has continued to prove elusive, with Max Allegri’s side losing the Champions League final in 2015 and 2017.

Having won the Coppa Italia 12 times and Serie A on 33 - 35 if you’re a Juve fan - occasions, adding to those two European Cups is the final frontier a very Old Lady.

It is going to affect the church greatly.

Pope Francis has requested that Roman Catholic priests be given the right to get married.

The request applies to priests in Brazil, and is on the agenda for an upcoming synod (church council) in the Amazon region.

A small number of married Roman Catholic priests already exist, including previously married Anglican vicars who have joined the church.

A request to lift the ban on marriage was made by Brazilian bishop Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who reportedly asked the Pope to consider ‘viri probati’, meaning married of great faith, as priests.

Derry priest Father Paddy O’Kane suggested that Pope Francis may move to end celibacy earlier this month, saying there was support amongst the church for the idea.

Fr O’Kane cited Brazilian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff, who said: “The Brazilian bishops, especially the pope’s own personal friend Cardinal Claudio Hummes, have expressly requested Pope Francis to enable married priest in Brazil to return to pastoral ministry.

“I have recently heard that the pope wants to fulfil this request – as an experimental, preliminary phase for the moment confined to Brazil.”
Earlier this year the Pope told Die Zeit newspaper: ‘We must consider if ‘viri probati’ is a possibility. Then we must determine what tasks they can perform, for example, in remote communities.’

Francis and his predecessor Benedict XVI have both stated that celibacy is not a matter of inflexible church dogma unlike, and could be debated.

Voltron picture

Reminiscing on my childhood and how fun it used to be with so much innocence and came up with thoughts of our favorite cartoons from back in the days. Here's my list.

1. Voltron (Defender of the Universe)
The first series was edited primarily from Beast King GoLion (Hyakujû-ô Goraion), and features a team of five young pilots commanding five robot lions which can be combined to form Voltron. In this undefined future era, the Voltron Force is in charge of protecting the planet Arus (ruled by Princess Allura) from the evil King Zarkon (from planet Doom), his son Lotor, and the witch Haggar, who creates huge "ro-beasts" to terrorize the Arusian people.[2] Despite being the first of the two robots to appear on American television, the "GoLion" version of Voltron was regarded as "Voltron III" within the storyline because, within the original planned "three-Voltron" continuity, Arus was the furthest setting from Earth's side of the universe ("Voltron I" being intended for the Near Universe, and "Voltron II" for the Middle Universe)

2. Geforce
Battle of the Planets cast five young people as G-Force, consisting of Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny. G-Force protects Earth from planet Spectra and other attacks from beyond space. The most prominent field commander of the Spectra forces was a villainous, masked individual known as Zoltar. Zoltar would receive his orders directly from a being he would refer to as "Luminous One". The Luminous One would appear as a ghost-like, disembodied, floating head. Who, or what this being actually was, is never explained in any detail throughout the series.

The main ship of the G-Force team was called the Phoenix, which could carry, transport and deploy four smaller vehicles, each operated by one team member. The four vehicles included a futuristic race car with various hidden weapons driven by Jason; this vehicle was concealed within the Phoenix's nosecone. The "galacti-cycle", a futuristic motor cycle the Princess rode, was stored within the left wing capsule of the Phoenix. Keyop's "Space Bubble", an all-terrain, tank-like vehicle capable of VTOL as well as being a submersible craft, was held in the right storage capsule of the Phoenix. And lastly, a futuristic jet fighter Mark pilots was stored in the top rear section of the Phoenix command island structure, and which used its tail fin to make up the center tail fin of the Phoenix. The fifth crew member, Tiny, was assigned to pilot the Phoenix rather than one of the detachable craft.

A regularly featured plot device was the transformation of the Phoenix into a flaming bird-shaped craft able to handle virtually any exceptional situation by functioning as a sort of giant, super blowtorch called the Fiery Phoenix. The Phoenix’s primary weapon was a supply of rockets called "TBX missiles" in the series. It also occasionally flaunted a powerful solar-powered energy blaster, although the team had the misfortune of choosing very cloudy days to use it.

The G-Force team themselves would use a combination of martial arts skill, ninja-like weapons, and their "cerebonic" powers to dispatch hordes of enemy soldiers and overcome other obstacles. Their bird-like costumes include wing-like capes that could fan out and function nearly identically to parachutes and/or wing suits, enabling the G-Force members to drift or glide down to safety from heights which would otherwise prove fatal.

The G-Force members stay in contact through a wrist-band communicator device which also serves as a way for them to change instantly into their G-Force uniforms or back into their civilian clothes. Other weapons seen displayed by various team members include: Mark's sonic boomerang, a bird-shaped boomerang with razor sharp wings; Jason's and Tiny's multi-purpose gadget guns, which can be outfitted with grappling hook and line, drill bits, etc.; and Keyop's and Princess's yo-yo bombs, which could be used as bolas, darts, and explosive devices. Other weapons include feathers with a sharpened steel quill that could be used as deadly throwing darts, and mini-grenades shaped like ball bearings with spike studs.

3. SuperTed

"SuperTed" was created by Mike Young in 1978 for his son to help him overcome his fear of the dark. Later Mike decided to put the stories into book form. Superted originally was a bear from the woods who was also afraid of the dark, until one day Mother Nature gave him a magic word which gives him superpowers and transform him into SuperTed. After a while, Mike started to write actual story books about SuperTed. Then after some unsuccessful attempts, he was able to get his book published by a local printer. This led Mike to a successful career, writing and publishing over 100 SuperTed books, with illustrations done by Philip Watkins, until 1990. Just after his first book was published, his wife suggested he should produce a stuffed toy version of SuperTed, which was done in 1980.

The process also drew the attention of Warner Brothers, who in 1980 made an offer of £250,000 for the film rights. Mike was determined to keep SuperTed Welsh,[4] as he wanted to help create local jobs and prove that places outside London had talent. In 1981, S4C enquired about making SuperTed into animations, but Mike decided to create Siriol Productions to produce the series himself. Siriol management wished to create SuperTed in a way which their own kids could be proud of, free from facile plots and hard-line violence. This concept continued to be adopted in all series made by Siriol, which proves that "soft edge and quality animation can be more appealing to children than any amount of violence". Superted was also turned into a stage show. Melvyn Hayes reprised his role but other parts were taken by other actors. Superted's popularity even led to the production of a line of vitamin supplements for children.
In 1989 Mike Young partly sold of the rights to the series; with 75% stake of Super Ted being acquired by Abbey Home Media, with Young retaining the other 25%

4. Ovide and the Gang
La Bande à Ovide, a.k.a. Ovide and the Gang, is a 1980s animated TV show produced by the Canadian animation studio CinéGroupe (who also produced Mega Babies, Sharky and George and The Little Flying Bears) in association with Belgium's Odec Kid Cartoons. It ran on Société Radio Canada from 1987 to 1988 and also goes by the names "Ovide Video" and "Ovide's Video Show"; the series gained popularity in the United Kingdom when it was broadcast on the Children's BBC service in 1988 and 1989 in a Friday afternoon slot, while in the US, it was aired on Nick Jr. in 1992 and 1997.

5. Danger Mouse -DM
Danger Mouse is a British animated television series produced by Cosgrove Hall Films for Thames Television. It featured the eponymous Danger Mouse who worked as a secret agent. The show was a parody of British spy fiction, particularly the Danger Man series and James Bond. The show originally ran in the United Kingdom from 28 September 1981 to 19 March 1992.

A reboot of the original series, under the same name, began airing in September 2015 on CBBC. The series also spawned a spin-off show, Count Duckula, which aired between 1988 and 1993.
The characters were created and designed by Bernard Godi in cooperation with Belgian comics artist and animator Nic Broca, who had previously designed the Snorks for SEPP.
The show stars a blue platypus named Ovide who lives on a non-descript South Seas island, where he has adventures with his friends and thwarts Cy and Bobo, the show's villains.

Dybala is in the squad, Icardi and more. Argentina is Argentina. Eagles be careful.

He will not be as much threat as his late father. His every move is under watch.

South Africa’s football association president Danny Jordaan has denied raping a former lawmaker and singer who made allegations as part of the #MeToo social media movement against sexual assault.

Jennifer Ferguson claimed online that Jordaan, who was responsible for organising the 2010 World Cup and also sits on the Confederation of African Football’s executive committee, raped her in hotel room in 1993.

“Dr. Jordaan denies that he raped Ms Ferguson,” his lawyer, Mamodupi Mohlala-Mulaudzi said in a statement.

“We have, accordingly, as his attorneys, advised Dr. Jordaan that he must not participate in a public discourse of the allegation made against him by Ms Ferguson.

“From a legal viewpoint, serious allegations of the kind made by Ms Ferguson can only be ventilated in a court of law, where the rights of all parties are protected.”

Ferguson, who was a parliamentarian for the ruling African National Congress party, alleged on Facebook last month that Jordaan had attacked her in a hotel room in Port Elizabeth on South Africa’s south coast where he subsequently served as mayor.

“He entered and, without a word, grabbed me and forced me onto the bed from behind. He overpowered me and painfully raped me,” she wrote in a blog post following her Facebook disclosures.

She posted with the “#MeToo” tag that has been widely used on social media by women — and some men — to condemn sexual harassment and report incidents of assault in the wake of the allegations made against Harvey Weinstein.

“Dr Jordaan’s perceived silence in the face of such serious allegations is because of his empathy with the victims of gender-based violence,” said the statement issued on Jordaan’s behalf.

“Dr. Jordaan has, however, after careful consideration, decided to assert his innocence.” (AFP)

He's going through a lot emotionally.

The actor continues to cry and pace around the room before he starts talking directly to Norma again.

“I’m at $13,000 a month, what more do you want from me?” Gibson says loudly as he starts crying again. “I don’t hate you Norma. I don’t know why you hate me, but I don’t hate you. But you just can’t wake up on September 11th and accuse me of something I didn’t do!”

In court documents, Norma accused Gibson of abusing their daughter on Aug. 19, alleging the actor “pushed our daughter to the ground, pinned her face down, put his knees on her back, grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other.”

Norma — who was wed to Gibson from 2007 to 2009 — alleged her ex hit Shayla “between 12 and 16 times,” leading the child to allegedly later tell her mother that she couldn’t sit down due to pain and saying, “Mum, Dad beat me so hard that it hurts when I sit down.”

Gibson previously told PEOPLE in a statement that Norma’s allegations were “hurtful lies.”

In her declaration, Norma claimed Gibson was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well as manic behavior by three psychotherapists — which she said he denied. She also expressed she was “deeply concerned” about the actor taking their daughter to Dubai, where he has allegedly threatened to travel in the past — and stating the he did not return their daughter’s passport to her when she requested.

She also claimed the actor withheld contact between her and Shayla while their daughter stayed with him.

Apart from alleging that he abused their daughter, Norma also wrote in her declaration that he was prone to “beat on the people he is in conflict with” and that he had hit her “a number of times in the past including when I was pregnant with our daughter.”

Norma’s attorney Khanjian previously told PEOPLE that by taking legal action, “Norma wants Tyrese, her ex-husband, to receive the therapy he needs so that their daughter can have the relationship with her father she deserves. Norma wishes nothing but the best for Tyrese and is willing to support him, through the courts, to become the father he wants to be.”

Forty-three years after she was last in her hometown of Gary, Indiana, Janet Jackson returned for the first time to the tiny white-sided house she and the rest of her famous family called home.

“When I saw the house … I just started crying,” she said Friday, according to the Northwest Indiana Times. “Me and my family are so blessed. I’m so thankful.”

Accompanied by brother Randy Jackson, Janet, 51, made the trip to Gary after a stop on her State of the World tour at the Allstate Arena near Chicago.

“I can’t wait to see you,” said Henson, who plays Cookie Lyon on the hit show. “I’m going to scream ’til I’m hoarse. Cookie ain’t going to have no voice next Wednesday.”

Janet, the youngest of the famous Jackson family, lived with Michael Jackson, Randy and their six other siblings in the two-bedroom, one-story home at 2300 Jackson Street in Gary when the clan were children. The family moved out of the home when Janet was about 2 or 3 years old, she said.

“The last time I was here I was 8 years old,” Janet said.

Janet also stopped at the former Roosevelt High School (now named Theodore Roosevelt College and Career Academy), where her brother Jackie and sister Rebbie attended, and told students gathered for the visit she felt grateful to have been able to have a child at age 50. She and estranged husband Wissam Al Mana welcomed baby Eissa in January. The couple has since announced that they are divorcing.

“Every doctor told me it wasn’t possible,” she told students, according to the Northwest Times. “But I’ve got a beautiful, healthy son. He’ll be 10 months old.”

Can't be so sure.
