Stellar Deal
</hdr><body>
<p>By Sophfronia Scott/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<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.
