Janet Jackson extends Las Vegas residency with fall dates: How to get tickets
Janet Jackson will stay in "Control" of her Las Vegas residency a little longer.
The pop superstar, who received the Icon Award at the 2025 American Music Awards, is extending her run at Resorts World Theatre with a new round of dates.
Jackson already has May 30-31 on the books and will return Sept. 10, 13-14, 17 and 19-20. Tickets for her fall shows go on sale at 1 p.m. ET on May 30 via axs.com.
The Janet Jackson: Las Vegas production finds the petite singer, 59, slow-burning her way through a two-hour set that includes several R&B cuts from her 2000's output ("Feedback," "Slolove," "No Sleeep") but plenty of throwbacks to her massive '80s and '90s eras ("That's the Way Love Goes," "Nasty," "Miss You Much," "Black Cat").

With her setlist spanning 43 songs (sometimes abbreviated versions), Jackson has crafted a definitive career overview.
It's a glossy spectacle that showcases Jackson's stylish aptitude through her Thom Browne wardrobe as well as her still-nimble dance moves. She launched her residency on New Year's Eve and played eight shows in January and February before tacking on six May dates.
During the May 26 AMAs, Jackson performed a medley of 'Someone to Call My Lover' and 'All for You' - also included in her Vegas production – before accepting her award.
"My family, myself, our dream wasn't ever to be famous," Jackson said. "We always had a special love for music, dancing and singing and fame came with the result of hard work and dedication."

Margaret Atwood, Jeanne Beker reference Canada-U.S. tensions at awards gala: 'We all wish [The Handmaid's Tale] was more fictional'
A celebration of Canadian women in entertainment, some of the country's most beloved talents were in Toronto for the The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada awards on Thursday night. Among the award recipients were Amrit Kaur, Jeanne Beker, Margaret Atwood and Tantoo Cardinal. Several of the women who accepted awards didn't just reference Canada's entertainment industry. They also spoke about escalating tensions between Canada and the U.S. "When [The Handmaid's Tale] came out, a certain number of people felt I was a lunatic, because surely the United States would never, ever do such things," Atwood said while accepting the Icon Award. "I'm sure we all wish the H.M.T. was more fictional and less of a docudrama drama. Will we all look back and say, 'Remember how scary that show was back then?' Or will we be unable to say anything at all, because we will have been censored out of existence. Meanwhile, we live in hope." When Jeanne Beker accepted the Impact Award, she spoke about how she was able to build her career in Canada, and not move to the U.S. "You do not have to move to the States to make it, you might have to move to the States to make more money," Beker said. "Things have changed so much. ... When I was rising up through the ranks in the '80s, there were not a lot of powerful women around. ... Women were kind of jealous of each other. It almost felt like, and certainly in this country, that there are only so many pieces of pie to go around." "There was an intense competition. I felt it and I felt threatened by women, I'm sorry to say, some beautiful, wonderful women. We were all just fighting to hang on to what we worked so hard for, to what we aspired to. And I have to say that slowly, but surely, over the decades, things started to change in the most amazing way. And an older woman didn't have to be threatened by a younger woman anymore. Quite the opposite." You do not have to move to the States to make it, you might have to move to the States to make more money. Amrit Kaur began her speech for the Breakthrough Award speaking about how inspired she was by Deepa Mehta's 1996 film Fire. "It was the first time I saw two women in a romantic relationship that were Indian women," Kaur said. "It was un-glamorized. It was raw. It was real. It was me. That bravery in telling the truth by the production, the artist, the director, that came out in Canada, is the reason I'm an actress." "I don't think our talents should have to go to America to break through. I think we can find more art like Fire. There are a lot of wonderful women in this room and that is so f—king rare. A lot of women decision makers, and I want you to take more chances, more risks. Women have intuition. We're not scared of the truth the way men are. We understand the human condition. We've dealt with oppression. We don't take no for an answer." Kaur also made a call for action to stop being so "polite." "I want you guys to fund art that fuels our fire as women, as humanitarians and as artists," she said. "Art that's ugly, art that's uncomfortable. But in order to do that, we have to stop being so polite." "Art isn't always polite. Art isn't always good. And as Canadians, we're so caught up in being good, we forget to be human. But I know as women, we can change that, because women know the pretence of being nice. We know the pretence of smiling, because behind every smile is a goddamn raging story." Tantoo Cardinal, who received the Equity in Entertainment Award, spoke about growing up as an Indigenous person in Canada. "I was born right into that world where people were breathing just really short breaths," Cardinal said. "There was no pride in who we were. There was shame in who we were. People who spoke the language were ridiculed." "You put the kids in school for generations and generations, and make them ashamed of who they are. ... My people have been forged in the fire and the smouldering embers of genocide. And we were not allowed to speak until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission revealed it in their findings. ... I came from a powerful people. Our history will tell you we found truth in our survival of atrocities in the marrow of the children that did survive, touched by the spirits of those who did not. ... Stories are part of the sacredness of life. We still have so many stories to change so that we might walk in balance in this new world we're creating," she said. "We must be allies. We must honour each other's truth and trust us to tell our own stories."

Jessica Biel on Her New Wine, 'The Better Sister,' and Being a Boy Mom
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Jessica Biel is standing at a place called Pocket Peak in Sonoma County, California, surrounded by golden hour light, verdant canopied vines and tilled dirt trails. The crystal embellishments on her black tweed Chanel bomber are glinting; the stained-glass sun is filling her hazel eyes. The multi-hyphenate star might be launching a brand new streaming series, The Better Sister, but right now she's in town to celebrate the launch of a new wine called Prophet + Poet, on which she has partnered with her brother and sister-in-law, Justin and Rose Biel, the renowned winemaker Jesse Katz, and Ariel and Chris Jackson (you've likely heard of Kendall-Jackson wines, a product of their family's). There are five Prophet + Poet types on offer: two Chardonnays, a Cabernet Sauvignon and two proprietary blended reds, with such romantic, brooding monikers as 'Mourning Cloak' (named for a nocturnal butterfly that plays dead) and the almost musically coined 'Broken Road' (named for a particular west-facing vineyard on Pocket Peak). 'It just felt like intuitive timing,' says Biel of her foray into the viticulture space. 'We were making these wines for each other, so it just… it really happened authentically.' To note, this is not just another celebrity alcohol brand: Prophet + Poet's story goes back to 2019, when Biel gifted her brother and his then soon-to-be-wife a bottle of bespoke red. Katz was the engineer behind that bottle. He had also created a wine for Biel and her husband, Justin Timberlake, when they married in 2012 (Katz and the Biels grew up together in Colorado). The group has stayed close, and over time they decided to officialize their amiable collaboration. Prophet + Poet's first run–all vintages from 2021–will tally only 900 cases total, with pricetags to match (these bottles' stickers start in the hundreds of dollars). 'This whole process has made me really understand why wine moves people so much,' Biel adds as we step into the vines to snap some photos. 'It becomes such a big part of so many people's stories.' She mentions loving Super Tuscans, which she first discovered with Timberlake during their travels to Italy. Biel has had a busy few days: she had been making press rounds for The Better Sister in New York City just 36 hours earlier. She then jetted home to Bozeman, Montana, to pack and regroup before flying into California. Coinciding with Biel's wine launch, Timberlake would soon perform at BottleRock, the increasingly popular Napa-based music festival located about thirty minutes from where we're standing. (While the musician was originally supposed to meet us at Pocket Peak, he stayed at the hotel with the couple's two kids, Silas and Phineas.) The Better Sister is an adaptation of a bestselling book by the same title, which was written by Alafair Burke and released in 2019. It's a stylish thriller about a troubled family, tracking, in particular, the dynamic between two very different siblings: the seemingly put-together and polished Chloe, played by Biel, and the messier Nicky, played by Elizabeth Banks. There's murder (Chloe's husband, Adam, is found dead), there's deception, there's suspense and there's beautiful real estate–from the trailer, the series' aesthetic appears to deliver a glossy, Big Little Lies-esque sheen. (Another point: Biel and Banks are executive producers on The Better Sister too, via their respective companies Iron Ocean and Brownstone Productions.) 'Secrets upon secrets upon lies upon truths,' says Biel about the storyline. 'That's what I was drawn to with this project. There's this thing between a perfect persona with an Instagram-able life, and then something completely different going on behind the scenes and inside the home. And then Chloe starts to show some really dark attributes. You see some really strange decisions. I thought, 'How do we keep her likable? How does an audience follow that? Is it even possible?'' Biel also credits the show's great writing, led by co-showrunners Olivia Milch and Regina Corrado, with her decision to get on board. 'Normally I'm in much earlier,' she says of her production work. 'This came at a little bit of a later stage. All the scripts had already been written. Of course, we talked about a few things and made some changes, and adjusted some things in post. But it was really, really solid from the moment I saw it.' Biel says she enjoyed working with Banks. 'She is amazing. She's such a boss, she does everything–she directs and produces and acts and writes, and I thought I did a lot. She does everything, and she's exactly who she is. Plus, she finds humor in everything.' The duo bonded beyond the screen, too: they're both the mothers of two sons. 'Being a boy mom is a thing,' she says, laughing. 'You can look at another mom who has boys and you just know what she's been through. You know she got hit in the head with a toy, then told she had a bad idea, then told that lunch was awful, they told 'I love you,' then given a hug.' The sun is starting to fall behind a faraway ridge, casting a deep and dark purple wash over the valley. Our group has started tasting Prophet + Poet's chardonnays inside. Biel looks out to the jagged horizon: Even though The Better Sister takes things to an extreme, she concludes there is identifiability–and maybe even threads of a cautionary tale–between her character and reality. 'I think we can all relate to this idea of presenting a certain version of ourselves,' she says. 'It's topical. And, really… it's human.' Watch The Better Sister on Prime Video
