Janet Feels Too Nasty for "SNL"
Posted Mar 11th 2008 3:08PM by TMZ Staff

Janet Jackson won't be live from New York this Saturday night -- she's got the flu!
Sources tell TMZ that Ms. Jackson has dropped out of performing on "Saturday Night Live" this week. No word who her replacement will be.

Us first reported Janet checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. last night for shortness of breath and the flu.

Story developing ...

that's the bad thing about Janet tours. she gets sick alot.

After that Ashlee Simpson mess up I'd say most lip synchers are afraid of SNL.

do you remember the thread a couple years devouted to excuses Janet could give on tour to cancel shows instead of her standard, exhustion or flu?

She's preggers.

my mom called and told me the news... .but im not surprised.. she is traveling to promote her CD and come into contact with lots of people: Lots of viruses, bacteria and fungus

looks at watch and waits for midnightmover to comment

Hope she gets well soon AND makes this up. I loved the last time she was on SNL.

here we go again....

Yes yes yes!

Thank you!!!

well thats wrong of you to do so.. knowing you are sick.. and its stupid for janet and anyone to NOT wash their hands...

cause before i touch anything other then my door nob... i immediately wash my hands when i come in the house...

and i wash my hands at least 4 or more times a day... but thats just me...

I really don't ever get sick...

Nothing to do with her album selling like shit of course.

Why would that have anything to do with it?

SNL is a pretty decent publicity tool to get the attention of people across the nation that otherwise might not have heard your new music yet

Guess who is going to fill in for Janet...

When I read this headline, I just shouted "NOOOO!" It's like Mariah is just fucking with Janet...probably gave her the damn flu!

As far as promotion goes for the album, stick a fork in it, it's done! She did slightly more than Britney did at least....

She wasnt too scared to sing "I Want You" Live. stfu

lazycrockett said:

sorry but i think janet waited to long to do promotion for this album.. she should have started promotion in december.. and she waits until the last minute to do interviews and magazines... maybe thats why she is so busy.. cause she waits until the last minute.. when everything piles up

I hope that U are kidding, or I feel bad for Janet reaching out to a fan
The flu that's been going around is no joke It's so bad that I wouldn't even answer the knock on my door to someone I that love. It's at epidemic levels in the USA, and lots of people have needed double dozes of antibiotics and weeks to recover.

people really need to buy lots of disinfectants and wash their hands EVERY TIME THE enter their house from outside..

WASH your hands EVERY TIME before you eat, touch your nose, eyes.....

im not a germ freak... but i carry tissues.. so i don't' have to touch door nobs,and things like that.... and i don't even touch my food unless i wash hands..


i think people think we live in a germ free world... if they only knew how much fickle and bacteria are on door knobs.. they probably be to disgusted to even touch their face.. before washing their hands...
