Singer Janet Jackson once had an array of exotic animals for pets, including a giraffe. She looked back at the impressive pet animals she had grown up with during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“We had so many animals growing up,” she shared. “We had fawn, Mouflon sheep, peacocks, a giraffe… just all kinds of animals. It was my job to feed them, to clean them.” The singer said her busy schedule these days doesn’t allow her the time to care for such an extensive brood. “It’s very tiring,” she added. “You never get enough sleep … My mother did it (without a nanny), her mother did it, why not? Why can’t I? I’m sure I will need someone in the future for some help here and there, but I don’t have anyone, and I love it.” — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
