All the dates/tickets from the upcoming Kanye West and Lady Gaga ‘FAME KILLS’ tour have mysteriously been removed from ticketmaster.com.

Kanye told Jay Leno earlier this week that he was going to take a long-awaited break and with this new info, it seems like he really is.

There appears to be a burgeoning mystery surrounding his upcoming Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga, which was reported to go on sale this week. The full dates were first revealed on the website for industry trade Pollstar yesterday morning, but no official information from either West or Lady Gaga’s camp has followed.

This morning, however, a smattering of tour dates for the trek were listed in the Ticketmaster website. They have since been removed. As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, Ticketmaster currently lists no upcoming dates for West.

Seems as though the new Janet Jackson material that leaked Sunday night is, indeed, her new single, but from a double-disc set of her global #1 hits.

The set, according to AOL Radio Blog, will comprise of 30 of Janet’s #1 hits in the United States, as well as internationally.

The dual CD set will hit stores November 17th. In addition, Janet has already begun working heavily with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins on her eleventh studio album, according to Rodney at this year’s VMA. Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m working heavily with Janet,” Jerkins said, adding that her new album will have a throwback feel.

“We’ve been in the studio for the last month. We’ve been getting it in. We’re going back to basics and fundamental sounds of Janet. We’re trying to target her fans by making the records that her fans will embrace. A lot of up-tempo stuff makes you feel good. There’s so many different colors of Janet. I’m a fan, I’ve always been a fan of Janet. The Rhythm Nation, the Control, the Janet. record… those make you feel a certain way. It’s been fun. I’m excited about it.”

This could be a good thing for Janet, especially after the chemistry they created with produced D’Mile on her Discipline’s lead single, “Feedback.” The new Janet studio album is scheduled for release next year. And now that folks have seen that Janet’s performance is still up to par, hopefully she’ll be able to have another successful run this go ’round.

DC native Wale’s album is getting delayed, but with good reason.

His debut studio album, Attention: Deficit will now hit stores on November 3rd, but not due to label complications. Wale is will be hitting the road with none other than Jay-Z, on a tour of college campus arenas and traditional venues.

At this year’s VMA’s, fans were pleased to see that Wale performed in between performances and awards with the well-known DC go-go band, UCB. Joining him on the stage with the house band, also were Solange, Kid Cudi, Pitbull and a host of others. He is currently promoting his third single, featuring Jazmine Sullivan, “World Tour.”
