Janet Says “The Tour Is Still On”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As people finally stop whispering about why she was hospitalized recently (as she’s conceded it was vertigo) — and move on to the latest talk, about her reportedly splitting with longtime boyfriend Jermaine Dupri — Janet Jackson herself is telling her fans on a special phone line that “The tour is still on,” and she’ll be on stage tonight in Washington, D.C. .
If you dial 323-622-8139 — and press 1 as the message begins — there’s a greeting from Jackson where she says: “I know you guys have been hearing a lot, a lot of rumors - the tour has been canceled — none of that’s true…I’m actually rolling into D.C. right now to do my first show coming back. I feel a lot better…and it’s gonna feel good coming back…Don’t believe anything that you hear and you read.”
(Except, we guess, what you hear her say on this message).
Last night at Atlanta R&B superstar Usher’s private 30th birthday dinner, at The Mansion on Peachtree Hotel, V-103’s Miss Sophia said Dupri confirmed that Jackson will resume her “Rock Witchu” tour this evening at the Verizon Center.
But the entertainment reporter on “The Frank and Wanda Morning Show” chose not to ask about reports on MediaTakeout and EURweb of a breakup; and instead let Usher’s family (including his mother Jonnetta and visibly pregnant wife Tameka) and friends (Dupri, Monica, Bryan-Michael Cox) enjoy the celebration.
Planning to go to the show in Atlanta Sunday? Have friends that have seen her previous “Rock Witchu” date? And what about this talk that the part-time Atlantan was recovering in a local spa — happen to see her?
