Janet Jackson, on drugs, in tears

Janet Jackson has confessed - she's had a bit of help from cocaine.

Yes, not entirely surprising, but what is surprising is it was just the once. She was prescribed liquid cocaine while in Japan. Because the whole point of cocaine is that, besides its unquestionable value in giving the bassists in guitar bands something to "sort" while on tour, it's also a proper medicine. Freud, for example, would usually prescribe it unless he could think of a good reason to not do so.

For some reason, though, Janet couldn't process this, and "burst into tears" when she found out what she'd taken:

She added: "I started crying and told him to take it – that I didn’t want it."

So, that's cocaine, just the once, in Japan. She doesn't explain how she managed to record all of Rhythm Nation 1814 in that evening, though.
