Though she knew Michael Jackson had a drug problem, Janet says she had no clue her brother was using Propofol -- the drug that ultimately killed him.

In an interview with Robin Roberts, MJ's sister says it was "a shocker" when she found out about the dangerous drug he used to go to sleep -- and no one in family knew the extent to which he was using.

According to Janet Jackson, her family had tried several times to stage interventions before Michael died of a drug overdose -- but, obviously, they "weren't very successful."

In an interview with Robin Roberts, Janet talked about their attempts to get Michael clean, and though she says he understood "that it was out of love," she added "people tend to be in denial."
As we previously reported, Janet holds Dr. Murray responsible for killing her brother.

Janet Jackson doesn't want Dr. Conrad Murray to continue practicing medicine -- because she doesn't want the man she holds "responsible" for her brother's death to strike again on "someone else."

In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Janet also said she doesn't know if Murray was the only doctor hooking Michael up with drugs -- but added "the truth always prevails."

Just moments ago, Dr. Conrad Murray walked into a Las Vegas courthouse -- where he remained completely silent as reporters hammered him with questions about his role in the death of Michael Jackson.

Janet Jackson is finally pointing the finger at the man she believes killed her brother -- Dr. Conrad Murray.

In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Janet stated, "He was the one that was administering ... I think he is responsible."
Murray has admitted to administering Propofol to Michael Jackson, but claims he didn't kill Michael.
In the interview, which airs Wednesday, Janet also claims Murray should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.
Janet also says Michael is constantly on her mind, saying "It's been a tough year ... You have your days where it's just really -- it's hard to believe. And a day doesn't go by that I don't think about him."
Jackson also recounts June 25 -- the day Michael died -- saying, "I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call ... [my assistant] said, 'Your brother's been taken to the hospital. It's on CNN right now. I called everyone's. There's a line busy or -- someone wasn't picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya."
Jackson added, "I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody's calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that's how I found out that he was no longer ... I couldn't believe it."
"It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream. It's still so difficult for me to believe. It's, you know, you have to accept what is. But it's hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that."

Flash mobs usually pay homage to musicians who are no longer with us -- or at least ones who aren't right there -- but the Janet Jackson mob this weekend had a very special guest ... Janet herself!

But it wasn't a coincidence -- it was all to promote Janet's greatest hits album, which comes out Tuesday.
Still cool though.

Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend -- and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.
Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers -- which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.
According to one of the dancers involved, some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.
Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, we're told, "there won't be a dry eye in the house."

Janet Jackson must have seen the valet at Katsuya in Brentwood yesterday and thought to herself, "What have you done for me lately?" And the answer, apparently, was nothing.

Miss Jackson was in such a hurry to avoid our cameraman, she forgot to pay the valet -- but he didn't seem to mind one bit.

Michael Jackson turned on his own flesh and blood by torpedoing a family reunion concert, according to a lawsuit that was just filed.
AllGood Entertainment just filed a Federal lawsuit, claiming Jackson reneged on his promise to perform with his brothers and sister Janet before performing any other concerts on his own.
After allegedly agreeing to the deal with AllGood -- the company that was producing the family concert -- Jackson inked a separate deal to perform a series of concerts in London.
According to the suit, Jackson and his manager, Frank Dileo, "secretly teamed up with AEG [the London producer]" knowing full well that Jackson committed to doing the family concert first.
AllGood claims its deal with Jacko prohibited him from signing any other contracts until 3 months after he performed the family concert.
Jackson has claimed he never signed the deal with AllGood -- his manager did. AllGood says the manager speaks for Jackson.
AllGood is suing for $20 million -- minimum. The company is also asking the judge to derail the London concerts, scheduled to kick off next month.
