- <p> Give her a beat--and anything else she wants. With that
- sentiment, Virgin Records last week wrapped up Janet Jackson
- for $32 million. In signing the largest record deal ever,
- Jackson, 24, left A&M Records, which saw her through four
- albums. But the Rhythm Nation queen's contract was up, and,
- courted by other labels, she gave in to Virgin chairman Richard
- Branson. Says he: "A Rembrandt rarely becomes available. When
- it does, there are many people who are determined to get it. I
- was determined." Brother Michael won't miss out on the dollar
- spree. He's expected to re-sign with Sony Music for as much as
- $60 million.
