Promoter, Kyodo Yokohama, blamed the recession for the cancellation of the Japanese leg of Janet Jackson’s Rock Witchu tour. The concerts will be rescheduled later in the year for the market to pick back up. Earlier, Janet had to cancel a few dates in the US due to “vertigo”.

Of course, the other, much bigger, reason is that concerts are decidedly less fun when the words from your favorite songs are replaced by loud wheezing and requests for more cupcakes.

Remember how Janet Jackson had to cancel a string of tour dates after checking into the hospital for migraines that caused vertigo? FOX speculates Janet may have been using her illness to distract from poor ticket sales.

But Jackson watchers speculated that she’d picked up an old trick from brother Michael. When ticket sales are off, or you just feel blue, claim illness. Michael has made more unnecessary hospital visits than any other celebrity besides his own mentor, Liz Taylor.

Even with Janet back on the road, her biggest problems are not resolved.

For one thing, she’s left her record label, Island Def Jam, after one release, the disappointing “Discipline,” which followed two flops in a row: “Damita Jo” and “20 YO.” Her departure from Island/DefJam could cause a problem in her personal life since longtime fiancée Jermaine Dupri heads up the R&B part of the label and was responsible for Discipline being so, well, undisciplined.

Janet’s problem is no one wants to listen to her music. Did she release a single this year? I don’t even know yet I’d still rather listen to deaf kids sing Christmas carols than watch Janet in concert. The biggest things to happen to her in the past five years was slipping a nipple at the Super Bowl and eating 500 cupcakes in one sitting. Which I suppose was an amazing feat, but people really don’t go to concerts for that

The affliction that caused Janet Jackson to call off a bunch of concerts after checking into a hospital has been revealed. The singer was treated for vestibular migraines which causes a sensation of vertigo.

“[Janet is] a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect,” manager Kenneth Crear said in the statement. “She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again.”

Whatever. It sounds made up. They probably opened a medical book, flipped to the migraines chapter and picked a random, non-life threatening one. It is now my mission to find out the real reason she didn’t want to perform. Mark my words Janet. You’ll regret cancelling on me. I mean, your fans.

2 hours after checking into the Royal Victoria Hospital for a mysterious illness, Janet Jackson checked out. No word on what she had, but tomorrow night’s concert in Boston has also been cancelled. A rep for the hospital simply said she was treated and released. Could it have something to do with Jermain Dupri puking in her lap? Or just the fact that her boyfriend is Jermaine Dupri? Because that’s gross.

According to PEOPLE, Janet Jackson “got suddenly ill during the sound check” before her concert in Montreal. She was rushed to the hospital and is being monitored. The show has been rescheduled.

Sudden sickness? I think it’s lupus, but Dr. Gregory House insists, “IT’S NOT LUPUS!” Whatever Mr. Smarty Pants. We’ll see. How many times have you been right anyway?

Put back to back, which Jackson song do you think is better?

‘Rock with You‘ by Michael Jackson or ‘Rock with U‘ by Janet Jackson?

In my opinion (thanks for asking) Janet’s song is proof that you don’t have to have talent to successfully put an album out. She sounds like she’s trying to sing with a 450-pound fat motherf*cker standing on her chest. Worst singing ever. Even when filtered and edited and all that sh*t. I seriously cannot stand to listen to her sing on this single.

At least Michael has talent.

It looks like Mariah Carey will be Janet Jackson’s replacement this weekend on Saturday Night Live.

Jackson was hospitalized on Monday with a terrible case of the flu and is too ill to make her scheduled appearance.

Please, please please SNL, make fun of Mariah!

Janet Jackson’s been hospitalized with “the flu.”

Now normally I’d be all like “Enjoy the lipo, Janet,” but after what I went through a couple of weeks ago, it no longer seems so far-fetched for one to be hospitalized with the flu.

“Janet is fine. She’s just battling this flu like everyone else,” says her rep.

Meanwhile, Janet’s latest album, Discipline, is #1 on the Billboard charts.

Congrats, Janet!

Us Magazine says Janet Jackson checked into Cedars-Sinai for the flu. Janet’s rep denies she was hospitalized and tells PEOPLE “she’s fine” and “she’s just battling this crazy flu like everyone else.” Whatever. I’m sure poor Janet can survive. The simple fact is you don’t need to stay in a hospital for the flu. Jack in the Box gave me the gift of E. Coli from their hamburgers when I was a kid and the only thing the doctor did for me was inspect my vomit. Apparently, the best treatment at the time for E. Coli was to send me home to die.
