janet jackson released from hospital
Janet Jackson has been released from a Montreal, Canada hospital after she was admitted to the emergency room with a mystery illness on Monday (29Sep08).
The R+B superstar was rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital on Monday night, shortly before she was due to take to the stage for her latest stop on her Rock Witchu tour.
The Nasty singer "got suddenly ill" during a sound check and was taken to seek medical attention. But she was discharged after a brief consultation. Rebecca Burns, spokeswoman for the MCGill University Health Centre, which operates the hospital, says, "Yesterday evening she was checked into the Royal Victoria Hospital and left a couple of hours later."
The show in Montreal had to be postponed, with her representative blaming the cancellation on "production constraints". Further details of the star's health problems have yet to be released, although sources close to the 42 year old's boyfriend, music producer Jermaine Dupri, claim she has been suffering from exhaustion. According to an insider, "A 42-year-old body can't handle what a 22-year-old body can. I can tell you that she's definitely tired. It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her body isn't the same as it used to be." Jackson's Rock Witchu tour is her first in seven years. She is due to perform in Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday night (01Oct08), but it is unknown as yet whether the show will go ahead as planned.

victoria parleys with paparazzi
Victoria Beckham will "never complain about the paparazzi" because she understands they are just part of life as a celebrity. The former Spice Girl admits that there are negative aspects to the press attention, but claims she has learned to accept their constant presence because it was her decision to step into the spotlight.
And she reveals that the snappers have also provided her with some of her favourite family pictures. She says, "(I) would never complain about paparazzi intrusion. I put myself in this position. I am a celebrity and so is (husband) David.
"Sometimes the paparazzi do get violent, they drive dangerously, and it's not fair to the kids. That's the sad thing about it. "The good thing (is) you never have to take a camera because somebody is always going to capture that moment…and they often re-touch the photos."
