'THE THINGS CELEBRITIES SAY': JANET SPAZZES OUT ON JERMAINE DUPRI FOR NEGLECTING HER TO WORK WITH USHER & MARIAH.

"...if there is something that we both feel differently about, it just should really be talked about and that’s the way we’ve always done it. Except this time around I see Usher and Mariah [Carey] coming out of the studio and I say, “Okay, wait, aren’t you supposed to be working on my stuff? We’re supposed to be doing our stuff together.” And he goes, “Well yeah,” and I’m like, “Why are they here, don’t I come before them when it’s time for the album to be released?” Not because I’m his girlfriend [laughs], but for the release of the album. Mine has to be released first, so doesn’t it make sense to get me out of the way first? But it’s all good."

--Janet Jackson tells Prestige magazine how she spazzed out on her longtime, live-in-boyfriend and music producer, Jermaine Dupri after 'catching' him working on Mariah & Usher's upcoming solo projects when he was supposed to be working on hers. LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO @ Janet saying, 'It's all good! Who knew she could get so gully? I love it!

MICHAEL VICK'S TEAM MATES TO VISIT HIM IN PRISON; FINED BY THE NFL FOR SUPPORTING VICK DURING RECENT GAME.

Michael Vick's former Atlanta Falcons teammates has every intention on supporting their jailed quarterback and friend although his new home consists of iron bars and barbwire. Now, that's teamwork! Bless their hearts.

Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he and other players plan to visit quarterback Michael Vick in prison. Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal custody after pleading guilty to federal charges related to dogfighting. "Probably in the next week or so," Hall said. "I think a couple guys are going to go up there to Virginia, get a chance to go see him. We all talked about [doing it] when the season was over. The season is over. We'll try to formulate a plan to get up there to see him." Hall said it would be tough to see Vick in prison. "Probably harder for him to see us," he said. "It's probably going to be real tough for him. I know when I spoke to him before training camp started, being told he wasn't going to be able to come to training camp crushed him. He loved this team more than anything."

On the day of Vick's sentencing, Hall, Crumpler, Joe Horn, Chris Houston and Roddy White were fined by the NFL for uniform violations that had messages supporting Vick in a game.

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT WHY VICK'S VIRGINIA HOME IS BACK ON THE MARKET.

In related news, Vick's Virgina home is back on the market for a cool $1.1 million. Developer Wilbur Ray Todd, Jr. tried unsuccessfully to auction off the property last month, which had an opening bid of $345,000. With only two bidders making offers, Todd rejected the final bid of $747,000, which was the assessed value of the property at 1915 Moonlight Road. Coincidentally, Vick's Virginia pad is the same pad the former quarterback (and his three co-defendants) raised pit bulls and trained them for fighting in the wooded area behind a 4,600-square-foot white brick house.

NE-YO SUES R. KELLY FOR DROPPING HIM FROM TOUR; NE-YO SAYS HE HAD AN 'ORAL AGREEMENT' WITH R. KELLY.

R. Kelly's promoter has been hit with a lawsuit by singer Ne-Yo, after he was mysteriously dropped from a prestigious support slot on the R&B superstar's American tour in November (2007). The So Sick hitmaker -real name Shaffer Smith - claims he was kicked off the tour after just two shows because his opening set was getting a better response from the audience than concert headliner Kelly's headline act. At the time of the incident, Kelly's representatives claimed Ne-Yo had never signed a contract. But in legal papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday (Dec. 31, 2007), Smith alleges he had an "oral agreement" in place with Kelly's promoter, Rowe Entertainment, which is named as the defendant. Smith also says he lost out on $785,000) in earnings from the gigs, which was meant to be for a minimum of 25 dates, and is suing for breach of contract, violation of the right of publicity and unfair practices, according to TheSmokingGun.com.

This isn't the first time Kelly has faced legal trouble after a tour - his Best of Both Worlds roadshow with rapper Jay-Z also ended in litigation in 2004. Smith's lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal woes faced by Kelly - he is due to stand trial for child pornography charges in May (08).

Among the guests were best man Johnny Gill, maid of honor Nicole Avant, matron of honor Julie Lev, as well as Edmonds's parents Jacqueline and George McQuarn, her brother Michael, Murphy's mother Lillian Lynch and his brother Vernon.

Actually, I'd like to add to the story that Eddie has eight children in all; two sons from 2 previous relationships with Tamara Hood and Paulette McNeely.
