Janet Love has spoken directly to Janet’s official representative Patti Webster asking whether the recent report on MSNBC.com which suggested a “rep” for Janet had spoken to the site – and denied rumours that she would not perform at the O2 in London – was true.

In a short written statement to Janet Love, Patti Webster confirmed:

“None of Janet’s reps have announced anything [regarding an appearance by Janet at the O2]“.

It is not uncommon for some media organisations to simply quote a “rep” or “friend” without using their name when a story has been fabricated.

Janet Love will of course bring you any announcement should one be made regarding Janet’s appearance at any Michael Jackson tribute shows in London.

In an interview with France 2, a French television channel, Jermaine Jackson has given the strongest hint yet that Janet will appear alongside her brothers in a show at London’s O2 Arena on 29th August to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.

He said: “There has been talk that we are going to do something at the O2 on the 29th with my brothers and also Janet.

“But just know this: there will be never be another Jackson 5.

“We’ll be just The Jacksons, because I feel that Michael played a very, very important part in the Jackson 5 and to do that would not be fair to him. We will tour and he will be with us always.”

Watch video of the the interview at ITN.

A previously unheard Janet song recorded around the time of Rhythm Nation has been leaked. Work found its way to the internet alongside several previously unheard Michael Jackson songs on producer Bryan Loren’s MySpace page.

Bryan writes on his MySpace page:

“‘Work’ is a track that Janet did not use on ‘Rhythm Nation’. I produced and performed the track, and co-wrote with Janet. The two of us are doing the background vocals. Imagine a coal mine/construction site. Yeah, that’s it.”

You can download a re-mastered version of the track here for a limited time only. Thanks to Effrem Adams.
