Janet Jackson and I Don’t Feel Like Working Right Now

I’ve been wandering around the office all day, stirring up trouble and generally being a nuisance, because, ya know, I just don’t feel like working right now. I mean, it’s a slow news day, and I just feel — off somehow. I can’t focus. Everything feels stressful and overwhelming. If my blog were a staged concert, I would totally cancel it today and tell you guys I had to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, because it is a blog, even if I were in the hospital you guys would be like “You’re so lazy! I mean, what else do you have to do? You’re in the hospital. Stop coming up with excuses not to work! Roll up your hospital gown sleeves and get to typin’!”

So I feel for Janet Jackson, who has canceled her third show this week, scheduled in Boston on Wednesday. Janet’s reps have released no explanation for why she needs to cancel shows, although they did say she was rushed to the hospital yesterday.

Get better, Janet!

  • She found out how stupid she looks in that costume and that hair, so she needs time to get her wardrobe redone and new wigs and lose those lbs. she has recently regained AGAIN.

  • Hey

    Look on the bright side…. atleast you can say that you’re sick and go to a hospital to get away from work.

    I work at a fucking hospital. *cry*

  • I’ve read about this. I think it’s pretty common to “hit the wall” from time to time and it sounds like you’ve hit it big time. You cannot blog 24-7 and not burn out. It’s ok to take a break. Obviously you rely on this site for income but if you can get a few pieces in the can, maybe you can just put them on a scheduled release so you don’t have to be “at it” quite so much. Or just become a Valium addict and then you won’t care.

  • Janet is probably in hospital while they tr and cut that god awful costume off her. She should have gone to the fire department instead.

  • You’ve sounded like this a lot for the past few weeks. Have you chosen your new weekend writer yet? Maybe you need a break.

  • maybe your period’s coming? i’ve been waiting for mine for FUCKING WEEKS and have been feeling the same fucking way… i’m surprised i haven’t killed someone yet. nurse, get me a vacay and a big fucking doobie STAT!

  • Now Evil, if you were in the hospital, I could cut you a break. But, it seems that you always think it is a slow news day or you’re in a crabby mood. With all of the crackpots, whores and fame seekers, it’s not possible to have a slow day in Hollywood gossip. Get better sources or move back to Los Angeles. Also, where in the hell is your weekend writer…get that person cracking on this shit.

  • slow news day? we just found out tss works in a hospital!!! that is some pretty cool news. i love knowing that people somehow daily are putting their lives and or health into the hands of a total asshole. (no sarcasm, i’m totally serious, that made my day)

  • she should sit down all ready. if you are going to stay performance ready you have to strap yourself to a weight machine and do reps in your sleep like Madonna does NOT binge on chicken & waffles with JD down in the ATL. Janet move back to LA so that you can stay obessive about your weight. No one wants to see sausage doing the huckle-buck on stage.
    So Ms. Jackson (cause i’m nasty!) :-( take a cue from Tina who is rippin it up at 68!
