Janet's Mystery Illness Revealed! Resumes Tour Tonight

Filed under: Janet Jackson > Music Minute

jj1__opt1.jpg

We have some Janet Jackson news.

And it's not another cancellation!!!

Ms. Nasty will be returning to her Rock Witchu tour tonight, Wednesday, at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Janet was forced to cancel/reschedule nine shows - in Montreal, Philadelphia, Boston, Greensboro, N.C., Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Uncasville, Conn., Verona, N.Y., and Manhattan.

E! News has learned through a statement issued by Jackson's people that the dysfunctional-wardrobe-ed pop star was suffering from a rare form of migraine called vestibular migraine, or migraine-associated vertigo. Which results in dizziness caused by a bad headache.

Sounds pretty unpleasant!

Or sounds like they scoured all the medical books for one of the rarest excuses they could find.

Well, whatever it was - dizziness or crappy attendance (We suppose we can see how one could be related to the other) - Janet's back on the road and the show's going on.

We hear that the Rock Witchu show is quite a spectacle, so we can understand why poor health or poor ticket sales could through a wrench in the schedule.

Tickets to the canceled shows will be honored at later dates.

Hopefully she will keep her word this time!

    She not fat dipshits and some migraines can be excruciating, give her a break.



  16. 16

    We have always loved Janet. We know that she will be dancing and singing until she can't anymore. She's a very hard worker and
    those Migraine headaches are bad, we know, they run in our family.

  18. 18

  19. 19

    WHERE'S PROOF OF HER 'CRAPPY ATTENDANCE'?

    ALL OF HER SHOWS WERE NEAR SELLOUTS.

    3 OF THEM WERE SELL OUTS.

    WHY HASN'T ANYONE POSTED PROOF OF HER 'CRAPPY ATTENDANCE'?

    BECAUSE IT'S A LIE, THAT'S WHY.



  20. 20

    VADGE FANS ARE THREATENED BY JANET. ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.

    JANET' S COMING TO SHOW HAGDONNA HOW TO PUT ON A REAL SHOW.

    I'D BE SCARED TOO IF I WAS A VADGE FAN.



  21. 21

    Re: WHORE1 – You're right, Madonna is a fug bitch who appears to be morphing into a tranny with them man arms and a gap between her teeth big enough to drive a mack truck through.



  22. 22

    Re: WHORE1

    Whore1, you should save your breath, Babe. Perez is a hateful and ugly cock sucker who is suffering from a major case of the munchies since he's been dieting and he's just taking it out on Janet because she look 10 times better than he could ever even dream of. And the same goes for all these other people that are hatin on Janet.

    Re: WHORE1

    Whore1, you should save your breath, Babe. Perez is a hateful and ugly cock sucker who is suffering from a major case of the munchies since he's been dieting and loosing weight. He's just taking it out on Janet because he's still fugly and Janet look 10 times better than he could ever even dream of. And the same goes for all these other people that are hatin on Janet. Let's see all of you post pictures of yourselves and stop hiding behind these fake avatars.

    that illness isnt funny my mom has the same thing and its horrible she gets really bad headaches and she gets dizzy and loses her balance…. she gets them out of the blue so its hard for her to drive and do everyday things because shes scared she might have 1 and lose control of the car



  31. 31

    vertigo really does suck I was just diagnosed with it a few weeks ago..and when you have a dizzy spell you cant walk or even sit up..its awful…Hope she gets in under control..THERE IS NO CURE!!



  32. 32

    Dude, I love Madonna, but her fans are sickos! Far more scary than any terroist group in the world. Their constant need to trash Janet Jackson and any other female artist really shows how pathetic and emotinally depraved they are. And Perez is a punk ass sell out. All up in Janet's face smiling and kissing her ass and then the second she turns her back-he trashes her. Kinda reminds me a little bit of the Justin Timberlake situation. Note to Janet: Let this be a lesson that you need to keep away from punk bitch white boys. If you lay with dogs then most likely you will get up with flees and ticks-or worse-when they bite you, you get a nasty case of rabies. Perhaps that's the true reason she had to cancle her shows. Rock on, Janet! Much love to you too, Madonna!



  33. 33

    now get rid of that rediculous outfit !



  34. 34

    Re: mama of 2 – mmm i like her thick legs. ILL BE THERE TONIGHT! WOOOOOOOOOOOO



  35. 35

    She is so fat!!!
    what just happened??
    she was fit a few month
    ago??



  36. 36

    Yes, I'm so glad her true fans will get to see her. I saw her in LA and the show was Amazing! Janet Fans, she will not let you down, it will be worth the wait.

    I have that illness too. It's hard to explain but she needs to get accupuncture and change her diet. I know it sounds crazy but it's worked for me. A diet for people who are Hyperglycemic usually does the trick. You can also go the old fashioned way by taking anti- anxiety medications like Topamax but I found the alternative way to be better for me. Ugh mine are so bad I'm sensitive to Flash Photography. If I were famous I would totally be one of those annoying celebrites that only wears sunglasses at night or request for photographers to use a filter to block the flash.



  38. 38

    Re: coco – I have it too, and good GAWD does it suck!!! I'm on beta blockers for prevention (doesn't work all the time - but better than nothing) and Imitrex injections…the nasal spray had nasty side effects and when I get migraines I vomit so the pills never stay in my system long enough to do anything.
    And the vertigo…eewwwwwwwww. The whole world spins.
    Wishing more migraine-free days to my fellow migraine sufferers.



  39. 39

    sounds like a wardrobe malfunction-vestibular whaa? and by the looks of it, it is. go back to "that's the way love is"style suited ya'.



  40. 40

    Re: coco – your hyperglycemic & have vertigo????
    im hypOgylcemic & vertigo…weirdddd :P



  41. 41

    its really not that rare actually- i get that too, and its incredibly debilitating, you can barely move and it feels like your head is exploding- light and sound are unbearable etc.

  43. 43

    It is NOT a rare form of Migraine, Perez. Do some real work next time and learn how to research a story properly. We all know you're LAZY as hell but… sounding as ignornant as you do might be an incentive to check the facts first

  44. Shai says – reply to this


    44

    Perez that is cold… Janet does have a heavy schedule and if she suffers from Vertigo that would explain why she had to cancel… You use to post nice stuff about her what happened? Janet will prove U haters wrong even if U R Madonna fans… I have respect for both artists but trashing someone when they are ill is below the belt… I love Janet to bits and wish her every sucess with her tour more power to Janet who keeps on going no matter what the haters say…..



  45. 45

    I love janet but that outfit is waayyyy too much!



  46. 46

    That hair! That outfit! That tour name! No wonder Janet is dizzy. Get rid of it all and get well soon.



  47. 47

    Re: Shai
    Perez, is just a cum whore who's just depressed because nobody wants to fuck him because he's still ugly after loosing all that weight.



  48. 48

    do your homework u fat slob! all u have to do is open up billboard and u can see EXACT ticket sales for shows! none of her shows are UNDER 50% capacity as u have stated. if youd just look into shit before u talk, u wouldnt always look like such an asshole.



  49. 49

    I also have Vestibular Migraines and it is NO picnic. I think it is worse than having a migraine because you can't hold your balance. You feel the room is tilting and that at any moment, you might fall over. It is not good. I bet she had to have tons of testing. I had to have a cat scan, which did show an abnormality. I panicked. I had to have balance testing, and that is when they found the issue. It takes a while to figure out, since this is not a common form of migraine.

    Janet, I feel for you!

    Leave it to Janet to have the best costumes and hair for her show. Im glad she's better and I cant wait to see this show!
