Hot off the press this week Janet Jackson puts tour on pause, Beyonce drops a milli on wigs, Prince knocks the vote, and Usher covers his goods.
1. Show Stopper
Janet Jackson is out of the hospital but it looks like her tour may need serious rehabilitation. The singer has postponed show dates in Boston and Philly, initially scheduled for this week, following a brief hospitalization in Canada. The postponements follow cancellation of a show in Detroit over the weekend because of "production restraints," but the rumor mill is saying disappointing ticket sales are behind the lagging "Rock Witchu Tour" train.
Well before Janet had her health issue, Jermaine Dupri got so sick to his stomach the couple couldn't even celebrate Jermaine's 36th birthday without any drama. Janet and JD were partying it up in honor of the mini mogul at Tenjune with Ne-Yo, Busta Rhymes and Ice-T - until Dupri "vomited in Janet's lap."
You would think that might keep JD home for a little while, but Monday night, while his girlfriend was hospitalized in Montreal, Jermaine was spotted out at the Music In Motion Tour Party at NYC nightspot Marquee.
Rebel Talking... Jermaine, please get it together! Take a break out from the partying and get your girl together to finish out this tour.
2. Unbe-weavable
Yes Virginia, there is a wig crypt.
Turns out all those Beyonce jokes had more than a grain of truth to them, at least if In Touch Weekly sources are to be trusted. The October 6th issue of the tabloid features an item about the multi-platinum entertainer that's sure to raise a few hairs - pun intended.
A friend of Bey's recently told the magazine that the singer keeps a climate-controlled closet stocked with finely crafted hairpieces.
"Beyonce's wigs are worth a fortune," the singer's friend revealed, noting that some cost more than $10,000. "The majority of them are custom-made from real hair and she's probably got $1 million worth of stunning wigs. It's part of the reason why she always looks gorgeous."
The best part is that Bey's very generous with all that hair of hers. The In Touch insider added that since she frequently updates her look, Beyoncé donates many of her castoffs to a charity that supplies wigs to women going through chemotherapy. How sweet!
Rebel Talking... Halt the Senate negotiations, America's fiscal crisis can be solved by selling Bey's wigs back to China!
3. Losing His Religion
Don't look for Prince to join will.i.am and other musicians backing Barack Obama anytime soon.
In this fiery political climate, Prince opted to voice the fact that his faith will be keeping him from the polls. The Purple One recently spoke up about his religion, saying, "Being a Jehovah's Witness, I don't celebrate birthdays or holidays. I don't vote."
Rebel Talking... Lemme find out being a Jehovah's Witness allows you to wear assless pants, but keeps you from casting a vote.
4. Down Under
Usher is throwing his hat in with the rest of the artists/designers, launching a new line of intimate wear for men and women. The Here I Stand singer spent some time in Paris for Fashion Week, and was seen taking in the Marlies Dekkers' runway show Sunday possibly getting ideas for his own upcoming lingerie line.
"You may have heard that I might be launching a lingerie line for men and woman," Ush told Women Wear Daily. "Comfort and intimacy is very important."
Some of Usher's naughty new undergarments can be seen in his video "Trading Places."
Rebel Talking... Usher's knocked Tameka up twice in under two years, can't imagine these drawers helping him keep it in his pants.
While you were waiting for Jennifer Hudson to drop, we've been saving up to buy tickets for Tina Turner's new tour and wishing America could be more like Robin Thicke's "Dreamworld".
Soul Rebel or who ever wrote this ignorant comment about Prince and his faith. Ignorant should be your column name. For one thang if you read your bible you will know that in Psalm 83:18 in any King James Version it states that god real name is Jehovah. Wit that being said Prince has put to rest his own personality from which you know him as the artist who had holes cut out of his jeans to his new personality which is one that's not partaking in paganism(celebration of holidays and so forth) or voting. The reason JW's don't vote is that no one i mean no president has made this country better. NO ONE. Every single year this country is getting worse and worse regardless of who's in the White house. The reason JW's don't vote is because of JESUS Christ he's the only one that is going to bring this wicked system to an end. Not John Mccain not Barack Obama. Yo comments really basically sound ignorant and I can see that you don't study your bible or have no hope as to where you want to eventually end up when you die. To be honest you probaly don't care. So really think before you write these ridiculous comments about JW's because you truly do not know the truth about the bible. Every holiday that is celebrated originated from paganism but your ignorance wouldn't even allow you to look up the information to know....
PRINCE IS A IGNORANT FUCK, HOW SOON WE FORGET WHAT OUR ANCESTORS HAVE DONE FOR US TO HAVE THE BASIC RIGHT TO VOTE!!!!! HE WON'T VOTE BUT HE CAN TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF NASTY SHIT ON HIS CD'S!
Man Sohh rebel aint what u all shocked about prince man, this is not new everybody knows jw dont vote, what u all shocked by, man dont u see the kids in school dont salute the flag either, try givin a 2nd grader jws kid birthday cake bet u they say no, aint nothin new, but i tell u , after being well informed of other religions i never get on anyone that choses a religion to change there way of life man do get on anyones religion thats deeper then political and national pride. yo to roy b.. dude u kind of hard son ummm b e z, to big mook ddue where uve been Prince been changed his style up his concerts back in the day was a freaknic wild jumpoff now he all family have the audience sing brong the whole fam non of his joints nasty anymore so it even nothin, i dont get on anyones religious beliefs leave it alone. peace
Also, To add to Roy B's comment. Princes's activities and life style was way before he became a JW. So don't associate his former ways with the present. Prince has taken on the new personalty.
Ephesian 4:17-24. Try reading it.
JW's are just another false religion from my understanding. Your not righteous by any stretch of the imagination. Your also a billion dollar entity which means high level political connections which means being in bed with this wicked system. If you read the Bible without any supporting material you wont understand it. Case in point; the Bible talks about every major ancient world empire in history, but how many of you could even give a brief little history of the Roman empire where Christ was crucified. None of you I bet. Or how about the subsequent history after Revelation was written, like how Christianity took over Europe and how that helped lead to the creation of the USA. I bet you dont know thing damn one. Part of righteousness is knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. See, it gives you something to do, so you dont have time for sin. If your actually stupid enough to think just hollering out someones name and in the meantime being just as petty and stupid as everyone else is going to get you into heaven, then your a damn fool who deserves hell.
you all should read the book A Call To Sanity.
What sanity are you talking about? Your pointless, purposeless, nowhere, no answers, nothing world where you just die and go into non existence and a small group of rich and powerful people preside over this circus. Thats your sanity, congratulations, your a complete fool. Why dont you just face the facts, your ego is the size of Jupiter, your too caught up with your own intelligence, and you hate the idea of anything higher or greater than yourself.
Why is everyone jumping on Prince??? He's not the only entertainer who is a JW. The Williams' sisters (Venus and Serena) and so are the members of the Jackson Family(Janet and Michael included). I hope that everyone who are making these hateful comments are registered to vote. Not only be regeistered but actually go out and vote!! Becasue people if we don't vote then we can't complain!!
