Singer LaToya Jackson ends a 10-year absence from the spotlight with a series of Hawai'i appearances with Sarina Paris, starting tomorrow on Kaua'i.

The two acts — being followed by VH1 and "20/20" cameras — will be at autograph and photo-op sessions at Hilo Hattie stores statewide, at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Lihu'e; at 4 p.m. Friday in Kailua, Kona; at 1 p.m. Saturday in Lahaina, Maui; and at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Honolulu flagship store on Nimitz Highway.

In Honolulu, Jackson appears at a world premiere listening party for her "Just Wanna Dance" CD from 9 p.m. Sunday to 2 a.m. Monday, at All-Star Hawaii, 2080 Kalakaua Ave. Admission is $10 at the door for those 18 and older; a VIP ticket (for rooftop admission) is available at www.wantickets.com.

An invitational dinner, pegged to TV filming, is also on the agenda at a Waikiki restaurant.

Dubbed as the "Wicked Wahine Tour 2004," Jackson is previewing her new CD here, with TV newsmagazines "Extra," "Entertainment Tonight" and "Access Hollywood" among those pointing their cameras her way.

One thing she can't talk about — affairs dealing with her family, including brother Michael Jackson.
