Janet Jackson Hospitalized Suddenly

NEW YORK — Janet Jackson was released from a Montreal hospital just two hours after she arrived, a spokeswoman for the facility said Tuesday, but it was still not clear why she was admitted.

The 42-year-old singer became "suddenly ill" and was taken to Royal Victoria Hospital on Monday night shortly before her scheduled concert in Montreal, which was canceled, according to a statement released by W&W Public Relations.

Jackson was at Royal Victoria but was released two hours later, said Rebecca Burns, representative for McGill University Health Centre, which runs the hospital. Representaives for Jackson would not elaborate on her condition Tuesday, simply saying that she was ill and was "recuperating."

Meanwhile, Jackson's shows in Boston and Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday were postponed and she was due to resume her tour in Greensboro, N.C. on Saturday. There was no information on when those shows would be rescheduled.

Jackson, who is on her first North American tour in seven years, dropped out of her scheduled "Saturday Night Live" performance in March because she had the flu, and her publicist said at the time that she went to the hospital for treatment but was not admitted.

Janet Jackson cancelled a concert in Detroit on this past Saturday and she said it was cancelled for logistical problems? She has rescheduled th concert for October 28, 2008.

Stars get tired. Happens all the time. Hope she gets better.

[Dissident Dexter]

maybe that dude that threw up on her wasn't drunk...just a carrier.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

I wonder if this has anything to do with her boyfriend throwing up on her the other night. Maybe he gave her something when he did it.

That's too bad... I hope that she gets better soon.

[Dissident Dexter]

Gets better? Have you seen her? She's 42! Women of ANY age don't get much better!

[Cybersquirt]

My god, what is wrong with some of you people? Jealous?

I've seen her in concert - she works hard and put on a fantastic show. But that was when I could afford to see her. :/

I hope it's nothing serious.

[DoodleWhore]

These comments are über boring.

[Dissident Dexter]

sure, any excuse to use an umlat.

[DrFelch]

Does she have a vomit fetish? Is that why she loves Jermaine? Heck, I'd puke on her too, if I was Jermaine and she wanted me to, I guess.

[JScott]

And remember she's a Jehovah's Witness who are obsessed with blood transfusions-NOT ALLOWED.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

I didn't know she was a Jehovah's Witness! Wow... who woulda thunk it.

[madinirose]

No, she is not a Jehovah's Witness. Her mother is one and kids on this religion. However, Janet does not practice this faith (although she does believe in God).

VOMITITIS!­!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS HOPE!!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE BY JOINING VOMIT ACROSS AMERICA

[sammy50]

What happened is that the promoters demanded she actually sing and not lip-sync.

[javagirl322]

No doubt, probably Jermaine's toxic puke...yuk.

[Lucille]

Janet works super hard on those tours, they call her the hardest working woman in show business, and that the audience always gets their money's worth.

Janet probably underestimated her endurance and became ill. She's still very, very beautiful, but she's not as young as she used to be.

[Felicty]

Vomit on her sna tch?

[marymansour]

Must have been something in that vomitous.
