Janet Jackson cancelled her show tonight in Montreal shortly before it was suppose to start and her reps say it was because she was hospitalized according to AP. They said that she suddenly became ill during soundcheck and was rushed to the hospital. No other information was known at this time, but maybe she got bit by the same bug that her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri throwing up in her lap.

Daily Mirror is reporting that the Man in the Mirror Michael Jackson has been having secret rendezvous with Pamela Anderson.

A source said: “It was all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger.

“They arrived separately at the Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no one would suspect anything and then had a few drinks in the bar.”

Our source went on: “They were very chatty. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding. They are such a strange couple but they seemed to really hit it off.”

So much so Michael plucked up the courage to ask Pammy out on a second date. And she was more than happy to accept.

We’re told: “They went for a coffee at Country Mart in Malibu and looked very comfortable with each other.

“They chatted about Michael turning 50, his new album, their kids. And he seemed genuinely interested in Pamela.”

I wonder what Tommy Lee thinks of this? 

What a weird couple that actually works in a strange way?

We really shouldn’t be surprised at anything when it comes to Michael Jackson.

But we have to admit we were shocked when we found out he’d been on a string of dates with Pamela Anderson.

The odd couple seem to have bonded over their love of plastic surgery and have been hooking up in Malibu.

We hear the big-boobed babe is a massive fan of Michael… and it seems the feeling is mutual.

A source said: “It was all arranged by their people in total secrecy, very cloak and dagger.

Michael is such a private person. He gets nervous when he thinks people are following him around, so he chose somewhere neutral for their first date.

“They arrived separately at the Shutters Hotel on Malibu Beach so no one would suspect anything and then had a few drinks in the bar.”

The pair requested a hidden area in the corner - for two reasons.

Firstly, it shielded them from any prying eyes. And second, it would have protected them from the dangerous melting effects of the Californian sunshine.

After all, there’s a fine line between looking hot and having a runny, bubbling face. Our source went on: “They were very chatty. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding. They are such a strange couple but they seemed to really hit it off.”

So much so Michael plucked up the courage to ask Pammy out on a second date. And she was more than happy to accept.

We’re told: “They went for a coffee at Country Mart in Malibu and looked very comfortable with each other.

Let’s hope they move on to a third date - and, who knows, maybe Pammy will get to have a “sleepover”. Go for it Mikey!

It is nice to see Michael Jackson walking around and not being wheeled around in a wheelchair. Too bad he is going around Vegas in PJ bottoms and without a mask. Now that we have seen him unmasked, he can go back to wearing it. 

So sad to see what happened to man who had so much talent.

Michael Jackson took his three kids to see Nathan Burton’s magic show in Vegas and I wonder if he was there to see if Nathan could make his face reappear. The good news is Michael Jackson is letting his kids go without their masks, but when will he go out without one again?

BTW when will he buy his kids news hats? Seriously every time we see them they are all wearing the same hats or hoody, can’t he afford a $10 hat for each of them every now and again. Oh wait…

They grow up so fast, don’t they? But whose are they? That’s the question we’re posing on today’s Defamer Celebrity SpawnWatch brain teaser. The answer is after the jump!

No, that isn’t a still from the upcoming popcorn flick, The Mummy: Tomb Of The Wheelie-Popping Pop Emperor. Rather, it’s Michael Jackson, being helpfully piloted by an attendant into a Las Vegas Barnes & Noble, accompanied by his three fashionable kids—Prince, 11, Paris, 10, and 6-year-old Prince II, aka Blanket. From the NY Daily News:

Jackson, 49, showed up wearing pajamas and slippers and spent about two hours Monday inside a Barnes & Noble store in Sin City, where he lives. He browsed through children’s books and CDs while the kids sat separately at a reading table.

The one-time chart-topping star wore a black scarf to cover most of his face, a surgical-style mask and a Marines baseball cap.

After serenading the family with a slightly modified, all-sung version of their favorite bedtime story (”Goodnight Moon—HEE Hee!“), all four ventured back into the Las Vegas heat only for as long as it took to caravan to the local Wet ‘n Wild. There, the proud father was parked beneath a wavepoolside canopy, clapping and giggling gleefully as he cheered on Team Jackson in an epic Chicken Fight tournament with Team Underprivileged Day Camp Kids.

Any popstar worth their salt knows that to survive in the business, you have to reinvent yourself every so often - and the King of Pop must know that better than any.

But quite what Michael Jackson thinks this look will do for his career is anyone’s guess.

As he approaches his 50th birthday next month, the singer’s appearance just seems to be getting more and more bizarre.

Pictured on a visit to a toy and book shop near his current home in Las Vegas, the singer was slumped in a wheelchair wearing pyjamas, a dreadlocked wig, a surgeon’s mask, a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Such theatre was presumably designed to prevent shoppers from discovering his true identity.

The irony is of course that Jackson is now better known for wearing such ludicrous disguises than not.

Indeed he would have stood a much better chance of not being noticed had he strode into the shop without any disguise - and had not pulled up in four cars filled with his eight-strong security team.

It remained unclear last night whether Jackson, who is most famous for his footwork and in particular his moonwalk, actually needs the wheelchair to get around or whether he was just using it as a prop.

He has been spotted both with and without the chair in recent weeks.

He has battled numerous health problems over the years, having being diagnosed with lupus and vitiligo and the amount of surgery he has had has rendered him unrecognisable from his former self.

Following accusations of child molestation in 1993, Jackson lost a massive amount of weight.

In late 1995, he was rushed to hospital after collapsing during rehearsals for a televised performance; the incident was caused by a stress-related panic attack.

During his further trial on molestation charges, the singer again suffered from stress-related illnesses and severe weight loss.

He has also been addicted to various painkillers over the years to cope with the accusations levelled at him.

The last time he was in the chair was to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Las Vegas in May at the MGM Grand hotel.

On that occasion, he also draped a coat around his face to try to disguise himself. But as always, the peculiar appearance only drew more attention to himself.

On this occasion, Jackson arrived with his three children, who were unusually unmasked, and headed straight for the children’s book section, where he remained alone for some time.

An eyewitness said: ‘They arrived at the Barnes and Nobel shop in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon.

‘First Michael was in the childrens’ section on his own in the wheelchair reading books. The three children were at another table with the bodyguards.

‘He was in the children’s section for about half an hour. He then went to the music section and was sitting in the chair looking through various books.

‘But this time the children were in the children’s section. Then he pushed himself around in the wheelchair for a while and ended up in the magazine section.

‘He was in the shop for about two hours in total. There was no special treatment. The shop was not closed to the public at any point.

‘There were quite a few members of the public in the shop who knew he was there but no one approached him.

‘To be honest, he looked a bit weird wheeling himself around covered up in a surgeon’s mask and that is probably what freaked people out to not want to approach him.

‘When they left the shop, the children came out first and he was wheeled out behind them. He never left the wheelchair at any point in the shop.’

A Jackson family friend indicated last night that the wheelchair was indeed needed for a recurring back problem that Jackson has had ever since his performing days.

‘He has a problem with his back which surfaces from time to time,’ the friend said.

Jackson is currently living in Las Vegas trying to land a residency at one of the big venues in the city to clear massive debts he has accrued.

His career fell apart and he spiralled into debt - despite selling 170million records worldwide - after a string of child sex allegations were made against him in 2005, of which he was later cleared.

BOTH Corey Haim and Corey Feldman say they were sexually abused as child stars - and the culprit was not their old pal, Michael Jackson, who was acquitted of sexual abuse charges filed by others. “People can say whatever they want, but it wasn’t Michael,” Feldman told GQ’s Mickey Rapkin. “He and I have our own issues, but that wasn’t one of them. The guy that did this to me was my assistant. I was still a virgin at the time. I hadn’t even had sex with a girl. So for me it was just kind of bewildering.” About his abuse, Haim adds, “It’s something that will be addressed in my inner soul for the rest of my life, and it’s something that truly affects me . . . It’s just like, it happened, it’s over, and move on. Let’s move on to the next subject.”

In news that is sure to warm the heart of Michael Jackson and umm, other areas of his body, Jermaine Dupri told Kneepads magazine that he and Janet Jackson are ready to have a baby. Jackson who is 42 now, and Dupri are planning on having/getting this baby after her current tour finishes.

If they adopt, I’m sure Michael will want to be in on the selection. I mean he is a caring uncle right? He wants nothing but the best little baby for his sister. He already has given her a card which entitles Janet to free babysitting for life. Of course it will be Michael who will be doing the babysitting. Don’t worry he has a big bed and brings his own pajamas. Crotchless, but he brings them.

Music producer Swizz Beatz is fueling rumours that pop icon Michael Jackson is planning a live return, after revealing he has been in talks to work on a tour by the Thriller superstar. The singer has already enlisted the talents of R&B stars Ne-Yo and Akon to work on his forthcoming LP, and now Swizz Beatz is confirming he is contributing to the music project as well. But Swizz also admits there has been talk about some live shows. He tells MTV.com, “I’m working on this new Michael Jackson s**t. I’m probably gonna be producing his tour and everything.” Jackson prompted speculation he will headline his own Las Vegas residency when an equity group linked to the Las Vegas Hilton helped him save his Neverland Ranch from foreclosure earlier this year. He has also made a number of personal appearances in the Nevada city lately.

Michael Jackson is in the process of designing his very own fashion line. He and Christian Audigier are in the first phases of designing the line and hope to have something out in the stores by the spring. Now, that report comes from Life & Style. They really don’t have anything else to say about it except for the fact that Michael is spending all of his own money to do it.

I’m just kind of wondering what kinds of clothes he is designing that people will want to wear. I can’t even think of a time in my life where I said to myself, “OMG, look what Michael is wearing. I need that.” There have been times in my life when I have looked at Michael though and said, “WTF is he wearing?”

With that being said, Michael probably does have a lot of experience with children’s fashions. He has probably worn them, seen them, removed them, and really just investigated them thoroughly. Therefore, it probably makes the most sense for him to design a line for kids. Of course he will need lots of real models to try on his clothes and lots and lots of fittings and private runway shows just to make sure he gets everything just right. Of course he doesn’t have to look very far to find kids to play with since he has some of his own. Yeah. Think about that. Have you really thought about that?

Gotta love Latoya Jackson because she always looks like a hot mess  whether it is her birthday or not.

MICHAEL JACKSON reportedly pulled out of a planned appearance on AMERICAN IDOL due to stage fright.

The star had been rumoured to be staging a comeback during the live final of the hit TV show last week despite denials from both his representatives and the show’s producers.

But it has now been reported that Jackson was due to appear and the news was kept secret.

The Thriller hitmaker was eventually absent from the celeb-studded lineup and according to British tabloid newspaper The Sun, he pulled out at the last minute as he was too nervous to perform.

A source tells the publication, “This was his big chance but he got stage-fright. (He kept saying) ‘I can’t do it. Everyone will hate me’.”

Seriously doesn’t it look like Janet Jackson just took the curtains off the rod and put it on as a dress. When I saw these pictures I was reminded of the bit that Carol Burnett did on her show called Went with the Wind where she just literally did that but she kept the rod in them.

On a positive not, I like the color of the dress minus the red trim.

I can’t tell if Latoya Jackson looks good for 51 or not? But one thing I can say, is that it is a good thing that all The Jacksons go the same plastic surgeon, so this way they still all look alike.
