London, October 08 : Janet Jackson has revealed that she has stopped reading newspaper after the death of his brother/singer Michael in order to avoid grief caused by speculations on his tragic demise.

"It will drive you crazy. People can have rhinoceros skin, but there''s a point when something''s going to hurt you,” the Sun quoted her as telling Harper’s Bazaar.

The singer apparently keeps herself updated about news around the world with the help of her chef.

She said: "I haven''t watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, ''How''s Obama doing?'' I haven''t read a newspaper."

Janet mentioned that she used to take care of the King of Pop in his earlier days whenever their mother Katherine was away.

Recollecting the time when the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker was just 21, she said: "When I was 14 years old, I would shop for him. I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When Mother would go out of town, she''d say, ''I''m leaving you in charge. Take care of Mike.''

"I would head home from school, see what he needed, then go straight to the stores." (ANI)
