After six canceled shows, Janet Jackson is officially back on tour. Her people made an official announcement early this morning.

"Janet, who has been under her doctor’s care and recuperating over the last week, is excited about getting back on the road and again being able to share with her fans what she feels is one of her best stage shows ever."

But some other news has come out about the mega star as well.  Turns out the people of Las Vegas have spoken and are trying to get Janet to headline in Sin City. The good news is Janet is considering it. 

"They have approached me and I am giving it some thought." 

At least she won't have to travel so much. Celine Dion and Cher seemed to have made out really well with their respective deals. 

Miss Nasty's Rock Witchu tour will resume in Connecticut this Saturday.

Janet Jackson has been released from the hospital. The Rock Witchu tour is still postponed, but the good news is the singer is resting comfortably and no longer under a doctor's care. Rebecca Burns, spokeswoman for the McGill University Health Centre, which operates the hospital, says,

"Yesterday evening she was checked into the Royal Victoria Hospital and left a couple of hours later."

For some reason, representatives for the Montreal are still citing "production constraints" as the reason why the show isn't happening. Why can't they just say Janet is tired? Or sick? I think her fans will understand. 

Further details of the star’s health problems have yet to be released, although sources close to the 42 year old’s boyfriend, music producer Jermaine Dupri, claim she has been suffering from exhaustion. The insider tells People.com,

"A 42-year-old body can’t handle what a 22-year-old body can. I can tell you that she’s definitely tired. It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her body isn’t the same as it used to be."

No word yet on whether or not the Boston show will take place this Wednesday.

While in the middle of sound check for her upcoming Montreal show, Janet Jackson suddenly felt very ill and was rushed to the unnamed hospital. The singer is currently still admitted and being closely monitored by staff according to W&W Public Relations. That night's show obviously was canceled.

No further news is available at this time.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Janet!

Janet Jackson reinvents herself as often as Madonna does... and it works! I am suddenly very interested in the Rock Witchu Tour. Here she is rocking a hawk in Vancouver city and giving her all on stage. What do you think about her look?

The summer is such a wonderful time. It gives fashionistas the license to go bold and big with great dresses and accessories. Check out Eva Mendes' dress! Love it!! She joined Liv Tyler, Janet Jackson and Claudia Schiffer at the Christian Dior spring/summer 2009 couture show at the Rodin museum in France.

Ooh! How exciting! Jermaine Dupri told People Magazine that as soon as Janet Jackson completes her upcoming tour, the couple has plans to conceive.

"Yeah, soon. Right after the tour."

Dupri is so excited he doesn't care about the gender.

"It really doesn’t matter. Janet would be a great mom. She was around so many brothers and sisters all her life, so she’s got to know what that is (like). And her mom is a great mother."

Jackson is set to hit the road for her Rock Witchu North American tour - the first tour for the singer in seven years - this September (08).

Another one bites the dust. Janet Jackson is the next in a long line of celebrities who will star in her own reality show. She'll be trying to find the next pop superstar.

"It's really about finding who's the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we'll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn't typically find it from. We'll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centres and try to cast the show."

I'm a sucker for these shows and I grew up loving Miss Jackson, but I'm kind of reality'ed out. What about you, will you watch?

I am going to have to split these pictures up into two posts because there are WAY too many to put on one. Nearly everyone attended the Cartier's Third Annual Loveday Celebration held at a private residence in Bel Air. Can you IMAGINE what that house looked like? I wish we could have seen those shots.

Here is the first group:

• Janet Jackson
• Ashanti
• Fergie
• Hilary Duff and Mike Comri
• Haylie Duff
• Emmy Rossum
• Chloe Sevigny

I am such a Janet Jackson fan! So when she sat down and talked about her upcoming tour, I was thrilled to hear that she's going to be performing ALL of her hit singles from every album she's ever released! I can only imagine what a show that will be...dancing everything from Rhythm Nation to If to Feedback. :)

On the tour:

"It's a completely different show, like nothing before in the past. My real goal is to try and do every single I've ever had, so I have to figure out how to fit that into two hours and yet give them enough so they don't feel hungry for more of that song in particular."
