Janet Jackson tops bill at Louvre
Janet Jackson blasted her way through a raucous set at a glitzy charity gala inside the Louvre museum in Paris.
The concert - the highlight of the Liaisons au Louvre benefit, with proceeds going to the museum - was a first-ever for an institution more often associated with string quartets in period costume than American pop divas.
Held under IM Pei's pyramid, the Grammy-winning pop princess's performance was loud enough to make the glass panelling reverberate overhead.
Janet, sporting a white crocodile outfit and surrounded by a cadre of crotch-grabbing dancers, belted out a medley of her greatest hits, including 1986's What Have You Done For Me Lately, Miss You Much and Rhythm Nation, both from 1989, as well as her trademark hit Nasty.
Astonishingly for a charity event - where cumbersome evening gowns tend to keep guests glued to their seats - Janet had the well-heeled crowd of about 300 up and dancing.
The Louvre closed early to the public to receive guests including Prince Albert of Monaco and actress Diane Kruger, as well as hundreds of art lovers and do-gooders with deep pockets.
