According to AceShowbiz, Janet has been in talks with Live Nation to release her upcoming album through the company.

The report also states that Janet may rename the Rock Witchu Tour to reflect the new album and that it’s currently due to start in Amsterdam in June. There is no confirmation of this at the moment.

Janet has postponed her “Rock Witchu Tour” in Japan next month because of the global financial crisis.

Japan concert organizer Kyodo Yokohama said today that she would postpone five concerts in Japan scheduled between February 14th and February 22nd “due to the impact of economic crisis.”

Janet was due to perform at Saitama, near Tokyo, as well as in other major cities, including Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.

The tour will be rescheduled for later this year. New dates are expected to be announced in late March, Yokohama said.

Janet has officially cancelled her Fort Lauderdale concert which she postponed during her illness on October 7th at the Bank Atlantic Center, according to the Sun Sentinel.

This is the second show which has been officially cancelled. There is still no official word on other postponed shows including Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Greensboro and Verona.

Janet attended an after party in New York City on Saturday night following her concert at Madison Square Garden. Accompanied by boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, Janet and her dancers partied until the small hours at Club Citrine in Manhattan.

Janet has officially cancelled her Uncasville, Connecticut show which was originally scheduled for October 11th, according to the Mohegan Sun arena.

The concert, which was postponed during Janet’s illness, was amongst others which included Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Greensboro, Ft. Lauderdale and Verona.

No annoucement has yet been made regarding those shows.

Janet’s brother, Jermaine Jackson, has said in an interview with Australian Associated Press that the entire Jackson 5 will reunite next year for a new album and a tour. He has further stated that Janet will be the opening act – something that Janet has spoken about in previous interviews.

“It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family. … We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year,” Jermaine said.

It is not yet known whether the show will actually go ahead as it has been spoken about for several months or what impact it will have on Janet’s possible plans to take her Rock Witchu Tour across the globe.

Janet cut a segment of her show in Detroit last night due to Michigan state law. The law, which prohibits simulated sex acts in a performance space, saw Janet remove the songs Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun), Any Time, Any Place and Discipline.

A photo of Janet performing Pleasure Principle at last night’s show can be seen below.

Janet features briefly at the end of Jermaine Dupri‘s latest YouTube video. The clip show Janet on stage, complete with her mohawk style hair again, in Tulsa last night.

Janet performed in Kansas City last night on the latest stop of her Rock Witchu Tour sporting a new hairstyle. Rather than the “mohawk” style look that has been seen in previous shows, Janet opted for a hairstyle similar to the opening of the Feedback video.

LL Cool J also performed as announced to open the show.
