Janet Jackson Hospitalized

Janet Jackson was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles “late light with a shortness of breath,” Us Weekly is reporting.

Jackson's rep doesn’t think there’s anything to worry about saying, "She’s just battling this flu like everyone else. Janet is fine."

I hope she really is fine! Influenza is no laughing matter and it still takes lives here in the US. Heather O’Rourke of "Poltergeist" fame is one celeb who died from complication from flu some years ago. Take it seriously!

Janet Jackson land on yet another cover in March, this one is for HX magazine.

Here’s a bit of the interview:

HX: I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but there's an Internet war between Janet and Madonna fans. I know you and Madonna had some beef in the '90s, but do you think the heat between Madonna and Janet fans has any validity?Janet: No—I didn't know this was going on. [Laughs]

HX: They argue, make videos and, of course, it's mostly the gay fans. So people are curious: What are your thoughts on Madonna now?

Janet: I think she's done wonderful things. She's done great things in her career, in her life, and more power to her. I think fans will always be that way—always. They're just incredibly loyal and they love you so much that if anyone says anything remotely negative, they're there to just immediately jump on them. It'll always be that way—very loyal.

HX: If a "Janet" drag queen had to battle a "Madonna" drag queen, what advice would you give the "Janet" queen?

Janet: Kick the bitch's ass!

Janet Jackson Gives Good Vibe

Janet Jackson graces the cover of ther March issue of Vibe. The singer/actress opens up in a revealing interview.

On growing up in her household:

“I remember being a kid and they’d come over … you take so much for granted…. you’re not thinking about the fact that it’s Marvin Gaye over all the time, or Diana [Ross] or Smokey [Robinson].”

On her relationship with producer Jermaine Dupri:

“Married or not, it’s not important … I feel like it’s it …. It’s been about eight years. He’s just a sweetheart. Truly a good-hearted person.”

On being a responsible child in the entertainment business:

“One of the major things was my work ethic, since I was a kid … I never had my mother wake me up … I’d get myself up everyday. It never struck me … that’s a lot of difficulty for a 10-year-old … I don’t know if it’s something in the genes, or from watching my brothers, seeing them working hard.”
