Singer/actress Janet Jackson will visit The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 18, Access Hollywood said Thursday. According to NBC spies, Janet is expected to chat up her role in the new Tyler Perry comedy-drama Why Did I Get Married Too.

Janet Jackson has reportedly agreed to stand in for her late brother Michael Jackson when the recently reunited Jackson 5 takes their new show on the road later this year.

Ms. Jackson has a confession: She loves Gossip Girl and thinks Chace Crawford is a total dreamboat. After all, who doesn’t? The “Escapade” singer recently revealed that she’s a big fan of The CW’s teen soap and was thrilled when she got to meet the show’s 24-year-old leading man at the MTV Video Music Awards last summer.
“I love ‘Gossip Girl’. I love the whole cast. And it’s so weird because I ended up meeting Chace Crawford. He’s beautiful. And the thing about it is, in person he’s even more beautiful. When you see him on the screen, he’s really good looking, but then you meet him in person,” the delighted 43-year-old recalls in the March issue of Wonderland Magazine. “We met at a bar, someone brought him over. It was after I did the tribute to my brother Michael at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). We talked for a minute.”
