MUSIC NEWS: JANET JACKSON HOSPITALIZED + CANCELS SHOWS / BEYONCE TO PERFORM AT MTV EUROPE AWARDS / NEW LUDA ALBUM COVER

Janet Jackson, who has been getting rave reviews on her Rock Witchu tour was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical treatment “due to illness.”

After she “got suddenly ill during the sound check” of her concert in Montreal Monday, the singer was rushed to a local hospital, according to W&W Public Relations.

Jackson, 42, is being monitored at the hospital and hopes to reschedule the show. [SOURCE]

When asked for further explanation about the incident, Michal Wielgus, a publicist for Gillett Entertainment Group says that the incident is reported at the last minute just before the show time.

“We’re not entirely sure (what happened),” Michal explains. “We don’t have all the details. We just found out 20 minutes ago.”

Janet’s Rock Witchu tour includes a demanding 38-song set list and more than a handful of costume changes. The tour started to roll on September 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia and now there are at least thirteen remaining dates for the roadshow, including the postponed gig, which also has refunds available.

Last Friday, Jackson aslo canceled the weekend Detroit stop of her road show due to “production constraints.”

BEYONCE TO PERFORM AT MTV EUROPE AWARDS

It has been revealed that Beyonce will take the stage at this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards, which takes place November 6th in Liverpool’s Echo Arena. Fans hoped that Beyonce would debut her new singles at Fashion Rocks this year, but it looks like they’ll just have to wait until now.

It hasn’t been confirmed, yet, whether Beyonce will be performing “If I Were A Boy,” or The Dream and Tricky Stewart-produced “Single Ladies,” but I’m sure that Beyonce has a production in store for us. Her new album, which still remains untitled, is slated for release on November 18th and there are a flurry of rumors as to who Beyonce has worked with on the album, although confirmed are Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, as well as Sean Garrett.

The new singles were supposed to impact radio October 7th, but Michelle’s third LP, Unexpected releases the same day.

NEW LUDACRIS ALBUM COVER

Our good friends at Rap-Up.com debuted Ludacris’s new album cover for his forthcoming sixth LP, Theater of the Mind, which will hit stores just in time for Thanksgiving on November 25th. I like this cover, pretty interesting.

    I hope she feels better… Get well soon Janet!

  3. Phillyfashionista

    @ Janet…she pregnate?? Either way, get well soon!!

    @ Bey & Luda…Go ‘head with ya bad selves!!

  4. Big M

    I wonder if she’s pregnant? That was my first thought – but then again, Janet is a hard worker and probably overdid things.

    Go Bee! Can’t wait to hear the new stuff.

    The Luda cover is ‘just okay’ – could have been better.

  5. virgoixxen

    I hope janet gets better whatever it is thats going on—Beyonce and Michelle releasing a cd on the same day–whats up with that—I remember Beyonce changed her 1st cd release date cuz she didnt want her’s and kelly’e release during the same quarter—-
    Not feeling the Luda cover–but love em anyways

  6. pat

    janet is preggo!!!!!!!!?

  7. *Sigh*

    ——> Other blogs have stated that Janet told JD @ his bday bash that she was
    ——> preggers. Congrats! (if true)

  8. AREUREGISTERED2VOTE?

    MICHELLE WILLIAMS NEVER HAD A CHANCE….HOPEFULLY SHE WILL MAKE SOME CHANGES IN HER TEAM AFTER THIS MESS….

  9. 8baller

    Hope Janet gets better….whatever the problem is.

    Bey is going to tear it down.

    Boring album cover, Ludacris.

  10. Dame( Taking Up a collection to see Jay-z at the HOB in Houston)

    *********J. Hud cd is fire I mam gkad the real singers are back

    ******Bee it is good to see my girl back on stage I can’t wait for her cd I know she is
    *******going to bering that fire

    ******* I thought Luda cd was coming out on the Nov. 11th? Always I buying it

    ****** Get well JJ

  11. mayne

    I have the same thoughts as everyone else. I think she is pregnant. She got the celebrity 6 month window to deny the claims. then on month 7, she gonna come out and it ain’t JD’s baby either. LOL!! That was a joke, or was it………………..

  12. Brittney

    YES…MY GIRL BEE GON TEAR IT UP!!!

  13. kmniles

    Maybe Janet is still sick from when JD reportedly threw up all over her at his birthday party, lol

    Byeonce…can’t wait…Hating Season will be in full swing!

  14. kid1

    Get well soon Ms. Jackson.

  15. sanrio8301

    I don’t know about Ms. Jackson being preggers but, I hope that she fully recovers. I have heard none of the new stuff from beyonce but, it should be a good performance.

  16. NO!!!!! Janet should have had babies with Rene.

  17. Andre Le Dale

    Janet just has morning sickness because she’s pregnant. Get well soon Janet, see you Oct 15. As for Beyonce I need for her to stay on the top of the game. Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara VS. Britney, Christina, Pink. Janet VS Madonna. (Team: Black)

  18. ms. mimi

    Get well soon janet

    Beyonce…can’t wait for the album

    Luda…interesting cover

  19. SEAN2008

    GET WELL QUEEN JANET. DAMN 38 SONGS? THATS CRAZY. SHE REALLY LOVES HER FANS. AND IM SURE SHE JUST TIRED I MEAN THAT IS A LONG SET LIST.

    AND CANT WAIT FOR BEYONCE.

  20. Let me just say this.... (I don't care if ya get mad)

    Get well soon JJ!

  21. GreatestLoveOfAll

    Get well soon Janet. I love ya!

    Bey’s performance will be incredible.

    Nice cover, Luda.

  22. stralia

    Luda’s album cover looks gay!

  23. SAME OLE

    Every tour Janet’s had she’s been hospitalized due to exhaustion. I knew it was coming with this one, but damn Janet! Has it been a hot month?!

    The problem is… with this tour…. she’s older than before and she can’t snap back into shape how she used to. She waited too long to lose all that damn fat and she started the tour slimmer, but no where near the size she needs to be for the (lip-synching) endurance that her shows entail.

    Janet’s fine – she’s just winded from being overweight and trying to dance in those hot costumes.

  24. Jazz

    I WISH THOSE BEYONCE SONGS WOULD LEAK NOW. THEY ARE REALLY TRYING TO KEEP IT A SECRET AREN’T THEY?

  25. Luvbug

    Maybe she’s just wore out, even though Janet is in top notch shape, she is 42 years old. That’s a big difference from 20,25,30 yrs old, your body changes. Not saying Janet is old by a long shot, but your body changes inside and then again she might be pregnant. That would be so cute, a little Janet walking around. Hope she feels betta and just take it easy, lot of working out, dieting, jumping around is not good for ya at any age.

  26. Neena

    I hope JJ gets better soon.. and as for B.. I hope she falls off with this next album.. I’m not hating before the Bey Brigade rides in to burn me at the stake for speaking ill against their God.. just saying I just think she can’t stand see Kelly or Michelle or her lil pititful anti-Bey sista, have some spotlight and do their thang and then release her stuff.. Michelle and Kelly better wise up and get new management..and Solange, girl just a juicy tell all and then you will be infamous and really the anti-Bey!! LOL

  27. PC

    I hope Janet gets better! Still no word on that! As for Beyonce, sure she’s performing..it’s the ONLY reason she was nominated in that trumped up “urban act” category. LOL Poor thing..oh how the mighty have fallen. And Luda’s cover is as stupid as he is.

  28. Stop In The Name of Love!

    ……..People dont believe the bullshit!. They pushed b’s single back. Because
    ……..BRITNEYS was changed to that exact date. That whole michelle excuse is a
    ………cop-out. Which was a very smart move. Because we all know who’d get all the
    ………attention, if Brit and B singles would’ve been released on the same day. B
    ………knows who NOT to fuck with.

  29. Stop In The Name of Love!

    ………And I really hope Ms. Jackson gets better. Heard the tickets are selling like hot
    ………cakes. Ludas cover is interesting. I like it.

  30. PC

    #28 I don’t know why people ever thought she pushed her albums back to benefit them – they weren’t going to sell anyway! And if they did it would be mostly to the same fanbase and because of Beyonce…lol So she’d help them…people would likely pick up both because they’re going out to get hers. It’s crazy that people actually believe her albums are getting pushed back for any reason other than the standard typical reasons that all records get pushed back – NOT ENOUGH BUZZ/DEMAND.

  31. P.T

    To someone who just loves music and blind.you wouldnt have noticed on LUDAS album at the front there is a bold 6 if you get were im coming from you’ll understand.its funny how its kinds backmasked.kinda like a subliminal message.like one of D,X albums where he had to red pointy things on top of his head.whohc stood for Horns

  34. Gurl please

    Britney’s single has already been released stuipid. And oh please, aint nobody afraid of Britney. Her new single “Womanizer” is an airy, watered down, mess with a hot beat.

    Blackout was Britney’s best album yet it barely made the platinum mark. People arent interested with Britney’s music anymore. All people care about is her personal life.

    LMAO at #26 and #27 being the same person. You can wish for her downfall but it wont come. At least not anytime soon. NOW STAY MAD!!!!

  35. Stop In The Name of Love!

    ……..@ #34Youre a jackass. Britneys single has not been released yet. Its gonna
    ……..be OFFICIALLY released on Oct. 6th. Thats why beyonce pushed hers back.
    ………LMAO, U reeally think that attention whore beyonce pushed it back because
    ………she really cares about michelle? Yeah, thought so. Remember the time she
    ………pushed back her single the same day Latoya’s album was coming out?
    ……….Besides no 1 was taking about how good Brits single is. The point is that
    ……….when it comes out. It’s gonna
    ………get MASSIVE attention. Just based on her name alone. Thats something B
    ………just CAN’T compete with.

    #34
    Sorry, hun…I’m an individual…and I don’t care about anybody’s downfall, by the way… just telling the truth. Anyway, I see what might be construed as a 6 on Luda’s cover and I just don’t get it… it’s so pseudo-intellectual and he should be ashamed of himself after the Obama debacle.

  37. Gurl please

    @ #35
    Actually Britney’s single was released to radio Friday. It was also OFFICIALLY announced on Britney’s website.
    Only reason I know is because I intern at a Top 40 radio station. Check your facts before you start yapping those rotten gums.

    The single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6FSaSeOwrc
    Now tell me if you think people will give this shitty sounding song massive attention? Where was the massive attention for her singles off her last album, since she is able to sell records just off her name alone?

    Letoya? Who is that? Is that the chick that got the boot from DC eight years ago? Oh please, she is no competition to Ashanti let alone Beyonce.

    You sound stupid. Its alright to have deep hate Beyonce, I mean whatever its your prerogative, but dont try to pass fiction off as fact.

    I am through arguing with someone that has a 6th grade reading level (its obvious by the way you type). You and your delusions have a nice night.

  38. Gurl please

    *deep hate for* (typo)^^^

  39. Missjoy29483

    Anyway lookin foward to Bey & The EMA’s hope it will be better than the VMA’s

    ………. Britney was a sex symbol, now she is jus a magzines/tabloid wet dream.
    ………. no one cares what Britney does artistically. Her personal is a soap opera.
    ……… How could anyone compare Britney to BEYONCE…PLEASE!!
    ..
    …….. Hope Janet gets better.

    ……… Did any1 get J-Hud’s new cd?? It kinda sucks, but she can SANG her a** off.

  58. I Love Beyonce
