BUZZ THRILL
Jenna Dewan reveals Janet Jackson once gave her a huge box of sex toys as a thank you gift
AMERICAN actress and dancer Jenna Dewan has made the surprising confession that she was once gifted a box of vibrators by Janet Jackson.
The 37-year-old Step Up star was a backing dancer for music legend Miss Janet, 52, back in the early 2000s and was left gobsmacked when her idol gave her the unusual gift.

Jenna – who recently split from Hollywood heartthrob Channing Tatum after nine years of marriage – revealed all while appearing on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Casting her mind back to when she worked with Janet, Jenna revealed she made for a very generous boss.
She explained that she was gifted an expensive watch by the That’s The Way Love Goes singer – and then revealed there was a more unusual gift.
“On Valentine’s day — mind you, I’m 19 on tour with Janet, I’m baby baby baby naïve — she gives you a box of um … like, vibrators!” Jenna blushed while a surprised Jimmy listened.

“A pleasure chest. We all got it, all the dancers. But still, I was like, 'What is this?!' I was mind blown,” she continued.
Jimmy asked if the gift then made the rest of the tour “awkward” and Jenna laughed: “It was a little bit like, ‘Bye, guys! See you later! See you tomorrow!’”
Jenna – who has starred in dance film Step Up and TV shows American Horror Story and The Mindy Project – couldn’t say nicer things about working with Janet.
“Janet was my dream to work for. She was momma. I was her kid!” she gushed – while Jimmy laughed: “She gave her kid vibrators?”
Last weekend, Janet was honoured at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards where she was given the Icon Award.
