I guess nobody bothered to tell Mike because he had this to say about it, "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them."
And She Was Doing So Well
Obviously Janet Jackson does not want to 'Rock Wit Chu' cause she's back to cancelling concert dates. JJ's concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut had originally been scheduled for October 11, that is until Jan came down with severe migraines associated with Vertigo.

Those who purchased tickets at ticketmaster.com or via phone will be refunded automatically.

Terrence Howard Being Sued
Debbie Allen's brother Tex Allen is suing Terrence Howard for 5 million dollars because Tex says Terrence socked him in the mouth during rehearsals for their Broadway revival of 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.'
