Janet Jackson Cancels Two More Shows
After being briefly hospitalized and forced to cancel her Montreal concert on Monday, Janet Jackson, has now been forced to postpone two more shows in Boston and Philadelphia.
Although the singer has not released an official statement on her illness, some have suggested that it is due to exhaustion.
After postponing her Monday show in Montreal due to an unspecified illness, Janet Jackson has also canceled her Wednesday show in Boston and her Thursday one in Philadelphia, according to the venues’ Web sites.
The singer suddenly became ill during the sound check for Monday’s show and was hospitalized, but was discharged two hours later, according to a spokesperson from Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital.

Kim Kardashian Devastated by Dancing Departure
Tis a sad day for America: the nation’s latest plastic celeb-obsession Kim Kardashian was booted off Dancing With the Stars last night.
Hold back your tears!
A distraught Kim Kardashian could not be consoled after being the surprise third casualty of Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night.
Not only was she inconsolable after learning the news, she was kicked off the show on the fifth anniversary of her father’s death, “it will always be a sad day for her,” partner Mark Ballas says.
“Today, five years ago, my father passed away, and I just know he’s really happy and watching over me, and I made him proud,” Kardashian, daughter of late attorney Robert Kardashian and reality co-star Kris Jenner, said after her dismissal.

Leo DiCaprio Ain’t Ready To Be A Baby Daddy
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t ready to settle down, lose his hearthrob status, and start a family.
Apparently, that will happen after a few more flings with supermodels.
Leonardo DiCaprio says he’s not ready to be a father.
The 33-year-old actor, who has an on-and-off relationship with model Bar Refaeli, says he has no plans at the moment to settle down and start a family.
“Ah, how do you answer something like that? So, um, I am being asked to look in the future I suppose quickly. No, I don’t have any plan,” says the famously private star, who has been promoting his upcoming film, “Body of Lies.”

Phish Reunites For A Couple of Jams
It’s time, once again, to kick out the jams: Trey Anastasio’s jammiest of Jammy Award-winning jam bands, Phish, is reuniting after a four year hiatus.
The reunion will be brief, however, as the band is only planning to play 3 shows in Hampton, Virginia next March.
Phish is getting back together.
The Vermont-bred jam band, which disbanded in 2004, is planning three dates next March in Hampton, Virginia. A notice posted on the band’s Web site says Phish will play March 6, March 7 and March 8, 2009, at the Hampton Coliseum. The Web site says more 2009 dates will be announced later.
A spokesman for the Coliseum, who wouldn’t give his name, confirmed the booking.
Phish was among the nation’s top touring acts when it called it quits in 2004. The band received a lifetime achievement award at the Jammy Awards last May.
