Janet ­Jackson’s boyfriend of seven years Jermaine Dupri was conspicuously absent from Michael Jackson’s July 7th memorial service. Why the no-show? Us Magazine says

“His friends are telling people it’s over,” [says] a source. “They have been moving in different directions for a while.”

“You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure,” [another] pal explains. Dupri produced several tracks on her last two CDs. “Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things sepa­rate. [Plus] Jermaine likes to be out there, mingling with everybody, and ­Janet’s more shy.”

Bless her heart. Her pedophile drug addict brother just died, marriage number 3 isn’t happening, her last two albums have tanked and her ass is as big as fucking Kansas.
