Are Janet Jackson and former longtime boyfriend Jermaine Dupri on the verge of getting back together?
Uhh, not so much. Despite rumors of reconciliation, Jackson STILL referred to Dupri as her “ex” in a recent interview with Atlanta’s The Bert Show.
BF to BFF?!
“I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that,” Jackson said.
“Jermaine is one of my best friends,” she said in a sleepy voice. “I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.”
We wonder why he’s an exception?! Dude couldn’t even make it to her brother’s funeral! That doesn’t sound like a true BFF to us!
“We’re there for one another,” Jackson said of Dupri. “I think it will remain that way for the rest of my life.”
On Thursday night, producer and long time BF of Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, spun a set at Chicago’s Underground.
It’s been rumored that Jermaine and Janet recently split after the deejay showed little remorse following the death of Michael Jackson, his almost brother-in-law. He was blatantly absent from the MJ memorial due to his scheduled deejay tour, in which he just couldn’t get away. Additionally, he claims he “doesn’t attend funerals.” To add to the controversy though, Jermiane seemed unsympathetic and completely recovered from the recent death and potential split as he played on Thursday screaming to the crowd, ”I came to this bitch to get f***ed up!”
Jermaine opened the night with Kid Cudi’sDay and Night and exclaimed, “What’s up Chi Town?! I came out here from the ATL to tear this mother f***er down!”
Everyone has different methods of mourning, but Jermaine doesn’t seem phased at all! While he played a great show, his demeanor seemed a little too hyped following all the recent events. Good luck with your tour Jermaine… and your relationship.
Usher is slamming Chris Brown for the photos of him vacationing in Miami over the weekend.
In a video for Jermaine Dupri’s “Living the Life” series, Usher is seen around a laptop talking about a series of photos with some other men in a recording studio.
“I’m a little disappointed in this photo,” Usher says about the shots of Brown. “After the other photo [of Rihanna's bruised face posted by TMZ]? C’mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man’s on jet skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?”
We completely agree with Usher! Chris Brown needs to stay out of the limelight and assume responsibility for beating his girlfriend.
Not only has Janet Jackson been canceling her recent concerts because of “exhaustion”, but there may be problems in her personal life to blame as well.
According to MediaTakeout.com, Jackson’s management team blames Dupri for many of her failures and told him, “You’re not her boyfriend anymore.”
Who knows how much of this is true, but I can see how they’d at least be on the rocks since Dupri threw up on her lap after drinking too much at his his birthday party in NYC.
Some of Hollywood’s big boys were in the Windy City over the weekend and let’s just say when the wife’s away, the boys will play!
David Beckham, Jermaine Dupri and recently divorced Robin Williams were in town last week and they all went out for a boys night on the town! Beckham came into town with the L.A. Galaxy last Tuesday for their game against the Chicago Fire. After the game on Thursday, Beckham went out with some of his teammates. Beckham went to Rockit for dinner and then hung out at Underground late night where Dupri was celebrating his birthday. There was no sign of Beckham’s wife, Victoria, all week.
Also, even though Dupri was in town with longtime girlfriend Janet Jackson for a concert stop on her tour, Jackson did not make an appearance at the nightclub for her beau’s birthday. Jackson crashed at the Trump International Hotel Thursday night and checked out of the hotel at a different time than Dupri the next morning. Maybe it’s because she was worried he’d throw up on her like he did at a New York City nightclub.
Finally, newly single Williams came into town and performed at the Chicago Theatre on Friday and Saturday nights. After his performance Friday night, he made a surprise performance at the Lakeshore Theater for Christian Finnegan’s show. During his routine Williams joked about being single and referenced his divorce. After his Chicago Theatre shows both nights, Williams went to Gibsons for dinner.
Beckham reunited with his wife in New York City on Friday where they launched the Beckham Signature fragrance at the Herald Square Macy’s and went out for a romantic dinner at the Waverly Inn later that night.
Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri attended the Christian Lacroix 09 Fall/Winter Haute Couture fashion show today in Paris, France.
Jackson looks a little slimmer here than she did last week when she was out and about in Milan. We don’t understand how she gains and loses weight so fast and drastically. It can’t be healthy!
She better start laying off of the French pastries soon if she wants to be in tip top shape for her Rock With U tour, which kicks off this September. However, regardless we have no doubt she’ll be back to a twig by then!
Janet Jackson will be presented with the Vanguard Award at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 19th Annual Media Awards at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre on Saturday and answered to E! Online about the never-ending rumors that she’s gay.
Apparently the rumors that she’s gay or bisexual don’t bother her and when asked who her top three girl crushes would be Jackson responded, “I don’t know if I have three. I think I would pick Alicia Keys, for sure. I think she’s wonderful.”
I have a feeling her boyfriend Jermaine Dupre would approve.
Here’s some more photos of celebrities at VMA after-parties in Las Vegas last night. They feature Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, Nelly, Ashanti, Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri.
Of course Barker and Moakler were all over each other again. They are the new Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee!
Speaking of Lee…here are some more pics! Apparently his brawl with Kid Rock didn’t prevent him from hitting the parties!
Here are the celebrities photographed in order: Paris Hilton and P. Diddy, DJ AM, Tommy Lee, Paris Hilton and Cisco Adler, Jamie Foxx, Robin Thicke and Nelly.
Celebrity guests including Nelly, Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Usher, Ryan Cameron, and Monica attended the grand opening of Studio 72 in Atlanta yesterday evening.
Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson also attended. They have been together foreva! I don’t see why they don’t get hitched already!
