Janet Jackson has reached out to her fans and released a statement apologising after some Instagram users had their accounts shut down for posting photos and recordings from her 'Unbreakable World Tour'.

The pop superstar reached out after it was reported on Wednesday that some users of the photo-sharing app had their accounts deactivated for uploading videos and images of Janet performing at her concerts.

Janet has now released a statement on Twitter where she explained that posting long video clips of her concerts causes a "contractual problem" but that it was never her "intention" for the accounts to be closed.

The 'Scream' singer also encouraged her fans to keep uploading short videos and photos from her shows.

She wrote: "Hey you guys, I have been listening ... I love and appreciate my fans. I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short video clips of how you are 'Burning It Up' at the 'Unbreakable' shows. Please keep posting them. My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed. Permitting the use of long clips does present a contractual problem for these projects."

Janet, 49, added that she loves her fans and wouldn't be where she is today without them and assured them they could still share content from the tour.

She continued: "I hope you understand. I trust the fans will use their short recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks of choice. I have asked my team to change their approach and allow you to engage socially with these videos. I know I wouldn't be here without the love I stand on."

The 'Burnt' star, who is dating Russian model Irina Shayk, has appeared in three films alongside the Oscar-winning beauty, 25, but insists they have never been tempted to take their friendship further.

Asked if they were ever going to hook up, the 40-year-old actor said: "Never."

Bradley, who split from 24-year-old model Suki Waterhouse earlier this year after two years of dating, previously suggested Jennifer was much too young for him, but says their 15-year age gap isn't the reason they have never gotten together in real life.

He told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show: "I said that once on a red carpet just as a diffuse thing and then it became a thing because the girl I was seeing was as young as she was.

"It just didn't happen. It's not the way we are together."

Meanwhile, Bradley thinks Amy Schumer is "very attractive" and is worried he creeped her out after she joked they were dating on 'Saturday Night Live' because he refused to let her leave his side at the Time 100 Gala last April.

He explained: "All that stuff of her getting called and me saying no, no, no - that really happened. I thought I was getting a little creepy because I was making her stay."

Selena also admitted she "loved it" when she was rumoured to be dating bisexual model Cara Delevingne last year.


She explained: "I loved it. I didn't mind it. Especially because they weren't talking about other people in my life for once, which was wonderful. Honestly, though, she's incredible and very open and she just makes me open."

Elizabeth Hurley on what she looks for in a man

Elizabeth Hurley says she finds men who work in a different field to her more attractive.

The 50-year-old actress, who was previously married to entrepreneur Arun Nayar and has dated the likes of cricketer Shane Warne in the past, has admitted she's more drawn to men who have "expertise" in an area other than showbiz.

Speaking to News.com.au, she said: "I have always quite liked people who know things in a different field to me. I have always found that attractive.

(Bang)

"My husband Arun, for example, he went to Oxford where he did physics. He was a scientist, whereas I would have got one per cent in my physics and chemistry exams in school so it's very nice to me when someone has expertise in a different field to me. I quite like that."

Although she has stunning good looks and a jaw-dropping body, the model doesn't date men who are particularly handsome because she thinks beauty comes from within.

She explained: "What I have always found is that people you might not think are particularly good-looking when you first meet them, when you start to like them or love them, you always see a beauty in them."

(Getty Images)

She added: "It could be the distance between their nose and their lip, it could be the back of their head. You always find a beauty in something you like or love."

Elizabeth, who is currently single, says there is only one man in her life at the moment and that's her son Damian, 13, whom she has with ex-boyfriend businessman, Steve Bing.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "[Selena and Justin] didn't record this together; they laid their tracks separately but were both very involved with the song's creation and writing. They weren't the main writers, but they will be credited as writers among others. This has been planned for months and they have been working on it at the same time they were working on their own albums.

"They are still very tight and [Justin] felt that it would be very therapeutic if they worked together. Their past could lead into some amazing future business decisions because they both know how each other tick."
