The British OK! story, “Madonna to Duet With Janet,” attracted a lot of attention, and a slew of other media outlets picked up on it.
“Madonna will perform a duet with Janet Jackson as a tribute to Michael Jackson,” began the report, adding, “The two singers are working on a tribute to Janet’s late brother after bonding over dinner after Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.” The mag even had a source who said, “Madonna was so impressed with Janet’s tribute to Michael that they started talking about how great it would be to honour him by doing something together.”
How about we honor Michael Jackson’s memory by no longer publishing phony stories about him? Madonna’s rep told Gossip Cop point blank: “They did not meet at or after [the] VMAs.”
Side note: “Scoop” Hilton, who “reported” the story as well, added, “Maybe they should give Janet’s brother Jermaine Jackson a call. We hear he needs killer acts for Vienna.”
Cute . . . except this somehow “celebrity expert” seems to have missed the hundreds of thousands of stories about how the tribute concert has been moved to London. Including the one on his own site.
Oops.
