Janet Feels Too Nasty for "SNL"

Janet Jackson won't be live from New York this Saturday night -- she's got the flu!

Sources tell TMZ that Ms. Jackson has dropped out of performing on "Saturday Night Live" this week. No word who her replacement will be.

Us first reported Janet checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. last night for shortness of breath and the flu.

47. AWWWW MAN.... I was soooooooo looking forward to SNL.... (wink, wink nudge nudge)! Janet became popular how???:

#1 Having famous brothers- which lead to her roll on Good Times, Different Strokes
#2 Her name also got her the tightest duo in the 80's backing her up (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis)
#3 Dance moves... alas Paula Abdul who she couldn't even give props to for that....

It's not what you know ... it's what your name is and who you know... Girlfriend is not an actress (had roles handed to her because of her name) She is not a singer... (she lip syncs and given much aid in enhancing her voice.

She is a JACKSON.... plain and simple! However, she is a doll face who likes to eat and has the $$$ to look good.
It's okay damned... if she can generate record sells, cool. Just gotta stick with the facts.

HER TIME HAS LONG PASSED... soon she'll be like Natalie Cole...out of the game, on the sideline talkin' about the other players.... L.I.G.J (Let it go Janet... you have nothing to prove.... it's already been proven. Move on.... as Beyonce, Ciara, Rhianna and all the other P.Y.T's will have to someday.... it really is OKAY!

Get well girl... keep it 100!

48. It's been over a month since I got the flu and bronchitis and I'm still not well. It's been very common in the northeast this year and has affected all age groups. Hope Janet has a speedy recovery.

56. EVERYONE HAD THE FLU EXTREMELY BAD THIS YEAR! YOU WACKOS

57. Don't worry, Janet will be @ SNL somewhere in the next weeks!

Flu lasts ± 10 days, so I think they will exchange her with next week's act, so maybe she will be there NEXT week in stead of THIS week!

And: she cancelled this week's performance because she IS NOT ABLE TO FLY FROM LA TO NY due to that flu!

Travelling (by plane) when having the flu can make the illnes worser (due to the dry air inside aeroplanes)!!!!

It is better for her to wait until she has no fever anymore, only her doctor can decide if and when she'll be able to travel/fly again and only then she'll be able to perform in SNL!

Keep on watching the SNL site, I think they will announce a new date for Janet's performance soon!
