Jermain Dupri doesn’t think it’s a very good idea for Janet Jackson to be associated with her brother Michael. He also feels Janet should be recording her own music instead of touring with her family.

“Janet said she would be willing to participate in a few select shows next year, but [her fiancé] Jermaine Dupri is holding her out of it. He wants Janet to go back in the studio and record another album, and he’s also wary of having her be associated with Michael because he’s gotten such bad press and is just freaky.”

Can’t really blame him for that. La Toya’s probably looking for work about now. Bet she’d do it.

I suppose Jermain Dupri isn’t what one would call “ordinary” but when it comes to looks, he really has no business talking about anyone. Still, he has this to say about Justin Timberlake in his new autobiography, “Young, Rich and Dangerous”.

” I think Justin Timberlake is a talented performer. But he’s very ordinary-looking. He could be any skinny white kid from the suburbs of Orlando. You could go to the mall and find another Justin. He doesn’t make his style interesting even when he’s onstage. To me, he just doesn’t look like a star.”

It’s rumored that DuPri has no love for JT because he didn’t defend Janet Jackson during that whole wardrobe malfunction incident. Timberlake’s reps have no comment.
