After a personal introduction from Madonna herself, a fully-clothed Janet Jackson took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards to honor her late brother Michael.

In a routine reminiscent of Natalie Cole, Janet performed her part of the song "Scream" while a music video of Michael doing his part played in the background.

Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend -- and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.
Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers -- which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.
According to one of the dancers involved, some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.
Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, we're told, "there won't be a dry eye in the house."

Janet Jackson must have seen the valet at Katsuya in Brentwood yesterday and thought to herself, "What have you done for me lately?" And the answer, apparently, was nothing.

Miss Jackson was in such a hurry to avoid our cameraman, she forgot to pay the valet -- but he didn't seem to mind one bit.

Everyone is still buzzing about Janet Jackson and her possibly being pregs. Her guy, Jermaine Dupri, doth protest once again ... and possibly too much?
"No she is not pregnant and yes we're still together," says JD, on his blog. "It baffles me how y'all let these blog and magazines control your lifes [sic]." After Janet ditched her tour, the rumors flew.
Speculation also has frothed that the pair is splitting up. Again, not true.

Since no one can get a straight answer out of Janet Jackson about her pregnancy rumors -- the ever media ready La Toya Jackson will have to do.

Everyone's still wondering why Janet Jackson bailed on most of her "comeback" tour –- the one guy who would probably know says it's not because she was PG.
Jermaine Dupri tells Hollyscoop.com his woman isn't knocked up, despite the scuttlebutt. Dupri even called out certain members of gossiping classes for spreading false rumors.
Nonetheless, Janet hasn't totally pooh-poohed the idea of bringing more spawn of Jacko into the world: "I'd love to have children. It's just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do." Do the right thing, Jermaine.

Who knew Antonin Scalia might be into Janet Jackson's breast.
It's true ... The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review the 2004 Super Bowl breast incident that led to a $550,000 fine against CBS.
The FCC has asked the Supremes to review the case, after a Federal Appeals Court ruled the fine was bogus because the image on CBS was merely "fleeting."

Janet Jackson's quick trip to the hospital was not going to get in the way of Jermaine Dupri's night.

The R&B impresario hit up Patron's Music In Motion Tour Party at Marquee in New York City last night. Spies inside tell us he partied it up with friends, caught a T.I. performance, and didn't leave until 1:30 AM.
Hope he sent flowers.

Janet Jackson was rushed to a hospital yesterday in Montreal and had to cancel her show, according to her reps.
The singer "got suddenly ill" during her sound check, says a statement from W&W Public Relations, and went to an unnamed hospital. She's being monitored, but no other details of her condition are available.
A rep for the concert promoter said they got word just minutes before the gig was supposed to begin -- LL Cool J was the opener.
Jackson cancelled her show in Detroit on Friday also at the last minute, citing "production constraints," and rescheduled.
