No, not another celebrity couple calling it quits?? I hear Janet and JD are really done—you notice you didn’t see him at Michael’s memorial. Anyway, Janet has been busy taking care of her deceased brothers three kids and there’s no room for JD now.
OR could it have been footage of Jermaine Dupri boosting NFLer Pacman Jones to “make it rain” in a Las Vegas strip club? The footage from two years go shows JD with the mic instructing strippers not to pick up money that Pacman and Nelly were throwing until they finished dancing. JD says stop trippin’. He says, “This is what we do—we eat, kick it and throw money.”
Wait a minute—does LeToya Luckett have beef with actress Nia Long? Remember, last week Nia said entertainers like Beyonce just need to stay in their lane and sing! Well, LeToya has something about that.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent still hasn’t sold his mega-mansion in Connecticut, so he’s slashing the price. He did want $18.5 million for it, but now he’s asking for $10 million. If you’re interested, it has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms, club with a stripper pole. By the way, 50 has moved the date for his album “Before I Self Destruct”. It’ll now drop September 29th. He plans to drop two more free mixtapes before then.
Bow Wow is asking fans for some career advice. He tweeted over the weekend if he should sign with Atlantic Records and get with T.I. or get with Jermaine Dupri and help him rebuild So So Def? Bow was released from Columbia last month after his last album sold 34,000 copies its first week.
I hear Paula Abdul could be leaving the highest rated TV show “American Idol.” That’s because she hadn’t gotten a new contract and her manager says Paula really isn’t a happy camper right now.
