Janet’s choreographer, Gil Duldulao, has confirmed in a tweet that the Number Ones: Up Close and Personal Tour will hit Australian shores in October and November.

“See u Australia in October November!” he wrote in a post today.

He added that he couldn’t be more specific on the exact dates the tour would be in the country.

An official announcement is expected shortly.

Janet’s choreographer and friend Gil Duldulao has posted a photo on his Twitter account of Janet at rehearsals for her upcoming Number  Ones Tour.

The first show will be in Manila in the Philippines on February 4th.

Janet’s long-term friend and choreographer Gil Duldulao has tweeted that the first leg of tour dates has been decided. The actual dates and cities have yet to be published:

“I just got the first leg of the tour dates and cities! Yay!”

Several reports are circulating that Janet will perform a tribute to brother Michael at this weekend’s Video Music Awards.

Choreographer Wade Robson posted a bulletin to his MySpace page which said:

“WADE ROBSON, MIA MICHAELS, BRIAN FRIEDMAN, CRIS JUDD, TRAVIS PAYNE, TINA LANDON, DAVE SCOTT, TYCE DIORIO, JERRY SLAUGHTER, LAURIE ANN GIBSON & GIL DULDULAO ARE PERFORMING WITH JANET JACKSON ON THE MTV VMA AWARDS ON SEPTEMBER 13TH IN TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON.”

TMZ is also reporting the story, saying:

Janet Jackson has been busting her butt rehearsing for a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTV Video Awards this weekend — and it promises to be a nipple-free affair. We think.

Ms. Jackson is set to put on a huge MJ-honoring performance featuring 20 backup dancers — which is being put together by some of the best choreographers in the world, including Frank Gatson and Travis Payne.

According to Kryiss Grant, one of the dancers involved (who was also an usher at MJ’s burial), some rehearsals have lasted 15 hours a day.

Once Janet is finished honoring her brother, Grant tells us “there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”

The VMAs air on MTV in the US at 9PM ET this Sunday, September 13th.

According to Variety.com, Janet will produce a new show for MTV. The currently untitled projcet is expected to see Janet mentor a group of aspiring dancers and singers. Despite the news, the article from Variety appears poorly written and seems to be unfinished.

Janet Jackson is getting into the reality TV business, developing a music competition with 25/7 Prods. for MTV.

Untitled project, which has already started casting, will feature Jackson as she mentors a group of aspiring singers and dancers. Project will be shot in the coming months as Jackson prepares for her world tour, which launches on Sept. 10.

“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher,” said exec producer Dave Broome. “And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”

Show will also take place in various street locales, rather than on a studio soundstage. Producers are still ironing out the prize – but it could potentially relate to Jackson’s tour.

Deal also reps the latest chapter in the recent turbulent relationship between the channel and Jackson. MTV produced the infamous Super Bowl halftime show that featured Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction.” After that, fans accused MTV of blackballing the singer from the channel.

But Jackson has been seen more often on MTV lately, having appeared on TRL to promote her latest CD in February. She also starred in a series of shorts spoofing MTV series like “The Real World” as part of MTV’s “52 Artists/52 Weeks Total MTV Takeover.”

Broome’s credits include “The Biggest Loser,” “The Radio Music Awards” and NBC’s Tsunami benefit.

Gil Duldulao and Jackson are behind the show’s concept; Jackson, Duldulao, Broome, Kenneth Crear and Johnny Wright are all exec producers.
