JANET GETS ILL ON TOUR
A representative for Janet Jackson says the singer has been hospitalized after falling ill shortly before a concert.
According to statement released by W&W Public Relations, the singer canceled her concert in Montreal on Monday after she "got suddenly ill" during her sound check and had to be rushed to the hospital just before show time.
The statement says Jackson is being monitored at the hospital and hopes to reschedule the show. No further information was given about Jackson's condition.
A phone call placed to W&W after hours went unanswered, and a representative did not immediately return an e-mail seeking more information.
Jackson, 42, is on a North American tour

JHUD DOES LENO
Talks about engagement, movie and music. I can't believe she's marrying Punk. He finally got his big break by marrying a popular person.
NEGRO PLEASE
[WISDOM FROM THE SELF PROCLAIMED MARTIAN......]
You’ve been documented as saying that you would charge your sister [$75,000 for a verse], is that a true statement?
Hell yeah. The first rule in business is there is no emotion, there is no love. It’s business.
How hard is it now to keep that same credo?
It’s not hard at all. It’s easier. It’s easier to tell you no if you about to come at me with that. Check Billboard, I’m number one right now. Respect me right now, wait for later. You want me on a song that bad respect that. I’m that nigga. You want that nigga on your song, pay for it like it’s that nigga. You go in the store and it’s that jacket that you want, leather, mink or whatever, it’s that real shit, though. Pay for it, get it.
Every MC that’s great, outside of sales, has had to have blood on their hands from dealing with other MCs. If you look at our generation, you look at Eminem, Jay-Z and Nas, they have all had these epic battles. Do you feel like you’re missing that from your arsenal?
I’m the new-age artist. I don’t beef. I do the song, smile, do a few dance moves, put on nice clothes, wear cologne. I don’t want to beef with you. I don’t want my music to have to go towards how I feel about you or how I feel about your music. That’s not music. Music is supposed to make the listener feel a certain way. That’s what I’m dedicated to, making your heart, making your mind, feel a certain way when you hear me. And not making a some person feel a certain way when they hear me.
What are you reading right now to help you…I don’t read a damn thing. That’s why I don’t write music. I’m too cool to be reading and writing…I’m a very intelligent nigga. I can read like a motherfucka. I don’t want motherfuckas to think I’m illiterate.
You’re in college so…
I don’t read, other than that shit.
But we talking about books for leisure.
Nah, I’ve done that like once or twice. It’s just not my thing. I’m not into made-up stories.
You know how people get together and they like, “Yo, you read…”I’m not even in that conversation circle. That would be crazy, I can’t answer nothing so why would I sit there and talk? I ain’t read no books. I sit and watch ESPN all day. I can tell you what happened in sports. I do what floats my boat. If you trying to figure out where I get this talk, that’s me. I’m born with that. I don’t have no brothers, no sisters. My brother is 6-years-old. My dad ain’t never had one of those. And the one I called pops, he passed. My momma, she do her cooking thing. I’m an intelligent nigga,. I just refuse to be dumb.
Is it because you were surrounded by…
No, ‘cuz my father made me this way. My father is God. I thank him everyday and night. I think I’m the perfect example of…of…pure. Meaning not planned, not scheduled, not practiced. You know how white people practice to be smart, intelligent and all that shit? You know as black people we like a certain child, a certain way, and all that will have you believing that you have to do that. Just like a motherfucka might think you have to train to be a great football player, and some nigga just walk on the team and catch 100 passes. Now we know this nigga forever, know what I mean? Shit like that so, I am the definition of pure. I have no reasons why I am the way I am. -Datwon Thomas
HERE WE GO AGAIN
"Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday evening in Santa
Barbara County, Calif.
"Around 4:30 p.m., a female witness saw Heather Locklear driving erratically while leaving a parking lot in Montecito," California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall tells PEOPLE. "The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly, and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times."
Soon after, the witness – who apparently didn't recognize the actress – spotted Locklear, 47, stopped on a nearby highway, exiting her vehicle.
"The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear's safety," Marshall said. "When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway."
Because Locklear appeared "disoriented and impaired," she was taken to a local CHP station and drug and alcohol tests were administered, Marshall said. The actress was cooperative.
"Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer's observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication," Marshall added.
Locklear was arrested on suspicion of DUI and being under the influence of a controlled substance. She booked at a local jail around 7 p.m., and released hours later.
The actress's lawyer, Blair Berk, wasn't immediately available for comment. Locklear's publicist had no comment.
Just two months ago, Locklear left an Arizona treatment facility after battling anxiety and depression." People.com
PRINCESS CIARA TAKES FANS ON A FANTASY RIDE
Princess Ci (aka the love child of Janet and Prince) graces her flock with her presence by leaving her gated community where she hides out (instead of staging candids) to join fans who won an essay contest at 6Flags in Atlanta. 6 Flags actually honored Ci by renaming one of their rides the "Fantasy Ride" in ode to her new album of the same title.
She made the announcement on the same day on the local radio and Fox TV station. I hear Ci is now making a list of subjects she does not want to talk about for interviewers which includes: 1. 50 cent and romance rumors; 2. No Vibe controversy; and 3. No talk of her shady former manager Philana who is on a negative campaign against her. In her interviews she mentioned the actual release date of December 9Th (although I hear it might come out earlier) and collaborations with Young Jeezy and a special surprise guest.
[And her response to the haters]
I don't respond to that with negativity because I'd rather they be a fool all by themselves.
IN THE MOMENT OBSERVATIONS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2008....FROM AN INDEPENDANT
1. John McCain looks like an old troll...can't help but to stare at his dentures.
2. Obama looks like he got a tan...or someone went crazy with the bronzer
3. Oh no he didn't say 'he doesn't get it'....oh yes he said it again.
4. I personally see nothing wrong with giving corporations more tax cuts..loop holes and all....but what about my cut
5. Neither has revised their plans post bail out.
6. "I got a bracelet too" reminds me of playground antics
7. WTF does earmarks have to do with my gas price being $4.50?
8. John never looked at Obama except a glance at the ending hand shake...this reminds me of yt folk in corporate america who treat black folk as though they have no business being there
9. Both potential first ladies were dressed to impress.
10. Uhm why is Biden's post debate spin/response to McCain criticism a better comeback than Obama's?
NEW JOINT OF THE WEEK: Jazmine Sullivan
Dare we say......A legend in the making?

ALBUM REVIEW: Jennifer Hudson
I've had a chance to listen to Jhud's new LP which comes out September 30th. It starts and ends hot but there are a few misteps in between. Lets break it down:
1. Spotlight - midtempo; relatable lyrics by Neyo, great melody, fire delivery...A
2. If This Is Love - Ballad; Doesn't sound like her; What that song "Energy was suppose to sound like; Great Melody; Should be a single; Could see Beyonce doing this song........B+
3. Pocket Book - Uptempo; Swagga/Sassy intensified; Sounds like something En Vogue would do; Luda Kills as always....A
4. Giving Myself - Ballad; Something Whitney would do, classic R&B; Sounds like reflective of her current relationship; Here comes the yelling; Filler cut....B-
5. What's Wrong (Go Away) - Ballad with Tpain; Tpain singing with Jhud, really?; Jhud and a Vocorder really?; filler....C
6. My Heart - Mid tempo with Polo da Don; Love the beat; Hate the melody; Simple lyrics; Something Brandy would do; Kinda boring; Sassy lyrics for a chruch girl...B-
7. You Pulled Me Through - Ballad; Classic RnB; Inspirational lyrics; Wierd melody; SOunds like something Mariah would do...B-
8. I'm His Only Womam - Ballad with Fantasia; Bootleg "woman to woman"; Here comes the yelling; Single worthy only becuase of the collabo appeal; no vocal chemistry; Still proves why Fantasia rightly won AI...B
9. Can't Stop the Rain - Midtempo; Advice to another woman; Sounds like for crossover appeal; Like the melody...B
10. We Gon Fight - Ballad; Lyrics a lil too street for her image; Swaggalicious delivery; Do not like the melody or the bridge; Sounds R Kelly-ish...B-
11. Invisible - Mid tempo; Sounds familiar; Simple production but it builds up which is nice; Seems to have a crossover appeal; Reflective; Okay Melody...B
12 And I Am Telling You - Played out but we like it....A
13. Jesus promise Me - Church.....A
14. All Dressed Up - From Sex in the City Soundtrack; Love it; Dixco feel; Should have followed "Spotlight".........A
In all, it didn't live up to the first single. That should be her sound. Seems like they just mixed a lot of sounds together. Still better than I expected from her. With the right single choices, she could go platnum. But well see. Overall grade......B
50 HAS DELUSIONAL NEGROES IN AN UPROAR
[One of those bogus rankings claim Jay Z is worth a billion dollars just after Forbes ranked 50 the richest man in hip hop...and 50 is asked to respond to that]
I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the [United] States and hip-hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce."
The In Da Club rapper has also disputed reports that Jay-Z is worth an estimated $1 billion (GBP540 million), but is adamant he's not jealous of his fortune.
He adds, "I don't believe he's worth that much! It's all been exaggerated. I'm comfortable. I don't want for anything so I'm not in a race."
Well this should add to the hate fif. You know there are two people negroes won't let you criticize...jay z and obama. Luckily you do what you want and are 100% truthful. Don't let them know Jay Z doesn't actaully own a basketball team, they may start a riot.
DON'T FORGET CHRIS WILL HAVE A SPECIAL ON HBO SATURDAY THE 27TH
He is promoting his special first on Larry King where he had me cracking to 106 n Park where he pretty much clowned Terrance. Good stuff
RUMOR CONTROL

THAT YT GUY GOING AT JAY Z AGAIN
According to the video source,

These dudes came back with a full 3:24 min song. What will Jay do now?!Oasis is this really you?
This guy was the one who did not want Jay to headline some UK festival.

OH BROTHER! CIARA INSISTS VIBE COVER WAS MISLEADING
****UPDATE***
Ciara updates her Myspace page to say this amoung other things
Vibe Article:
I know that there has been a lot of talk about the vibe magazine and this will be my last time talking about it.
When vibe presented the idea to me, I was excited about trying something different and doing something Artistic. The body is beautiful, and I wanted to celebrate it. I'm at a point to whereas I'm shedding old layers of my life and the new layers are surfacing. So much has changed for me especially as a young woman and I wanted to express that. There was talk about me being upset about the shoot. When I look at the photos, I do think they are beautiful photos and I am proud of my body, I was bothered because I did indeed have on items that were removed.
I know that it was vibes mission to do something beautiful and to present me in a nice light I just think it would have been appropriate for them to get my approval to do such a thing before doing it.. I don't want this to keep going; I just wanted to talk to u guys before I went totally silent on this topic. There are so many more great things to talk about like my LP and its on the way!! I promise you're in for a treat. I love u guys and I thank u for your support.
Forever your Go Girl CC!:) xoxox
Talk about scandolous. Vibe say it was Ci's idea, Ci says Vibe presented the idea to her...wow.

"I walked into the Vibe photo shoot very excited about making an artistic expression," she said. "And when I saw the photos, I was a little bothered because the photos appear as if I was nude, and I wasn't nude. I reached out to [Smith] — I sent her a letter — and I was a little upset, too, in the fact that she didn't respond to me, and that happened prior to me reading her quote on the Internet. That definitely bothered me, just because of the fact that I wasn't nude. I walked into the photo shoot to do an artistic photo shoot, so I was excited about that. I just didn't like the fact that I saw the picture and now, stuff is gone."
Ciara said the idea behind the entire shoot — at least on her end — was a celebration of the human form and that she'd walked away from the shoot thinking that everything had gone great. "When I saw the pictures, that wasn't what was discussed or what we were going in to do, so that definitely bothered me," she said. "I think the body is something beautiful, and I wanted to celebrate that. And unfortunately, it wasn't exactly what it was in the photo shoot, and I'm looking forward to moving forward."
No matter what Smith or anyone from Vibe says about the shoot, Ciara said she knows exactly what went down that day.
"I know what was there, I know what was taken, and I know what was done. And then to look at the book and go, 'It's gone' — it was just very upsetting to me," she said.

DANCING WITH THE STARS?
Question mark because the jury's still out on Kim being a star. However the only 2 I'm watching for are my girls Kim and Toni Braxton.
Kim sucked:
Toni ROCKED. It really isn't fair she's a pro. But what does she mean she's best known for 'Unbreak My Heart?' Bish you's a legend. Don't downplay it.
