Never far from the media spot light, the younger sister of the deceased King of Pop,Michael Jackson, La Toya Jackson, made a normally united family infuriated in March 1989 when she took up the offer from Hugh Hefner to grace the cover of is iconic men’s magazine Playboy.

But not content with causing in family feuding just once, La Toya went on to pose once again in the November 1991 issue of Playboy and appearing on a Playboy Calendar in 1990 and even on her own Playboy video.

With only a semi-successful recording career, La Toya believed she had little to lose breaking into the world of glamour modeling and to this day, her magazine cover sells more copies than her little known attempts at displaying her other talents in front of the camera as a singer.

In 2004, LaToya resumed her singing career by launching a new single, “Just Wanna Dance.” It reached No. 13 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Club Play Charts and became her highest charting single. “Free The World” followed months later in March 2005. The single peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play charts.
In 2007, LaToya, who made her acting debut in an episode of “Counterstrike” in 2002, appeared in two episodes of the CBS reality TV “Armed & Famous.” Her new album, “Startin’ Over” was also planned to be released that same year, but was put on hold, indefinitely!
