PHILLIPS: Live pictures from the Roosevelt Room, where the president of the United States will step up to the podium any minute now, actually. We will take it live. He'll be talking about those job numbers. Also, getting ready to head to India for a ten-day trip through India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan, hoping to talk about economic benefits for the US. We're following both for you. In 1977, seven black women dressed in the colors of the rainbow talked about their lives in an effort to educate and hearten young, black girls. That Broadway play was called "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Was Enough." Now, that Tony- nominated show has been turned into a movie with a star-studded cast. Janet Jackson plays the self-made and self-assured Jo Bradmore in the Tyler Perry production. Last night, she sat down with our Larry King and talked candidly about her sometimes lonely life and burgeoning movie career.</s>JANET JACKSON, SINGER AND ACTRESS: Jo, Joanna Bradmore, she runs her own fashion mag. She's very, very -- a very successful woman. She comes from the ghetto, where the rest of the girls reside. She has worked really hard to make her way out of that. She's very shrewd.</s>LARRY KING, CNN HOST, "LARRY KING LIVE": She's the most successful of the group?</s>JACKSON: She's, yes, she is the successful one and will do anything to stay away from that life. She wants no part of it whatsoever. There's nothing worse than being lonely and having people around you, especially people that you love, people that you may be involved with. That's -- it was very, very sad for me.</s>PHILLIPS: Well tonight, Larry King talks to actor Jeff Bridges. That's 9:00 PM Eastern right here on CNN. There's a promising development in the fight against lung cancer. Doctors might have a better way to find the disease sooner and save more lives.
