Janet Jackson Released from Montreal Hospital

Janet Jackson has been released from the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canadian news network the CBC is reporting.

The 42-year-old singer was discharged after two hours on Monday night, a spokesperson for the hospital told the CBC.

Jackson cancelled her show in Montreal on Monday and was taken to the hospital after she "got suddenly ill" during her sound check, according to a statement from W&W Public Relations.

Further details of the singer's condition were not immediately available, and reps for Jackson did not return requests for additional comment.

Jackson kicked off her Rock Witchu tour promoting her latest album, Discipline, in Vancouver on Sept. 10.

Jackson has complained of exhaustion, a source close to boyfriend Jermaine Dupri tells PEOPLE. "A 42-year-old body can't handle what a 22-year-old body can," says the source. "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."

The same night that Jackson was rushed to the hospital, Dupri was spotted in New York City partying at Patron's Music in Motion Tour featuring TI at Marquee. "If [Janet's condition] was more serious he would've rushed to her side," added the source.

Jackson is due to perform in Boston Wednesday night. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20229837,00.html

Alright! I am back once more! A lot has been going on since my last post!

So here we go!...

I survived the meeting again of the boyfriend's mother by seeing her but not much and leaving early to visit a somewhat near by relative.

Then our friend (Mr.'s and myself) from Portland came to visit just a few days after we had gotten home. He had never been to the east before so off we went to show him around....

1st stop Gettysburg on the way to DC.

Day 2: Capital building, Botanical gardens, Air and Space museum, the mall, Washington monument, Korean monument, Lincoln monument, WWII monument, Vietnam monument and finally the White house where we say the President's Scotti dog playing outside.

Day 3: The DC Zoo, Natural history museum, Jefferson monument, FDR and after our friend broke my drivers side mirror off the car on a ticket booth, a nice finish in downtown Frederick.

Day 4: I fixed the mirror with epoxy, drove up to the 1000 Islands area with a quick stop to water the plants at home (it was literally right on the way), and a stop for dinner at Dinosaur BBQ...soooooooooooooo good!

Day 5: A nice swim and off to Ottawa for some poutine (sooooo good!) and a good long rain shower!

Day 6: Swam in the lake and drove to a nice wild life preserve in Quebec.

Day 7: Then off to Montreal in the morning, had a good evening in old Montreal, a night in a hotel was nice

Day 8: Montreal in the morning (something about that town always gets my spirits up!) and on to Vermont

Day 9: Loved Vermont and decided to stay and tour some cheese farms and Ben & Jerry's (the Jelly Belly tour outside SF is much better). Had some GREAT cheese and got to pet baby sheep and cows.

Day 10: Off to Cape Cod and Province town! Good times in the tide and night life

Day 11: More beach and Province town crazy goodness

Day12: Caught the sun rise on the Atlantic and then headed off to home for a good night sleep!

Day 13: Back to the airport an hour and 15 minutes away at the crack of dawn to drop off our friend, breakfast with the folks and a hamster exchange (they watched Ebichu for me) all done before 7am! Then back home, a nap and Batman!

That was a great trip!
Hey I even lost a lb while doing it! There was so much walking and great eating but not much! Score for me! I even started jogging again right after we got home! It is all coming together!

More soon!

Brad brings the hotness to the Great White North!

Brad Pitt is back on set in Montreal finishing up filming for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which tells the story of an odd romance that sparks between a woman (Cate Blanchett) of 30 and a man who, at 50, begins aging backwards.

Brad slapped on his prosthetic wrinkled mask and headed back to work, shooting scenes in his heavily made-up face.

Since he’s been busy at work filming his own movie, it was Angelina's turn to drop the kiddies off at school today.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is set for a May 2008 release.

Gwen Stefani Dishes on Blizzards, L.A.M.B. and Tough-Girl Chic

It's been a crazy week," exhaled Gwen Stefani hours before yesterday's L.A.M.B. presentation at Milk Studios. After a blizzard threw her design team for a loop, the superstar turned the frenzy into a fun show filled with her line's signature mix of tough-girl chic. "I had a guy driving 7 hours from Montreal last night to bring me 5 samples," she told us. "The combination of all that chaos got us to be really creative." Now that her first fall show is behind her, Stefani continues to focus on her full plate of projects, which include fragrances, jewelry and of course, more fashion. "I can't wait to move onto the next collection," she said. "That's what I love about fashion-it keeps moving!" -Enid Portuguez
