When we saw the announcement on Us Weekly's website regarding their June 5th issue, we applauded the tabloid. This cover which showed Janet Jackson's transformation from tub-a-lub to washboard was one of their best selling issues of the year! Wow!

We're not that surprised — after all, at the time, even we were impressed.
