Janet Jackson filming special on O'ahu today

JACKSON
Tony Eaton, producer of HBO's "Janet In Concert From Hawaii," told The Advertiser that he and director David Mallet would likely be filming Jackson herself at various spots around the island today.

The footage will be included in a Sunday HBO special featuring Jackson's Saturday concert at Aloha Stadium. HBO executive Nancy Gellar said the intro footage of Jackson will be shot at an undisclosed O'ahu beach.

There will be a private, invitation-only Jackson performance at Aloha Stadium Friday night, HBO and stadium officials said, in order to rehearse her performance and block camera angles before Saturday's main show.

Meanwhile, stadium spokesman Les Keiter said banners, signs and noisemakers would not be allowed into the stadium Saturday. The list of banned items also includes cameras and recording equipment, purses, backpacks, bags, coolers, umbrellas, and outside food and bottles.

Fanny packs, binoculars and diaper bags will be allowed into the stadium.
