Janet Jackson has reportedly refused to join the Jackson family world tour because she is trying to distance herself from Michael.

According to New York gossip column Page Six, Janet doesn't want to be included in the reunion with her siblings because she's afraid to be linked to his brother and his troubled image.

Janet Jackson enjoyed a lapdance from boyfriend Jermaine Dupri at a party. The 'Together Again' singer and the hip-hop producer were seen getting intimate at a fifth anniversary bash for magazine In Touch Weekly at New York's exclusive Tenjune bar last Wednesday.

A fellow guest said: "They were all over each other and Janet was thrilled when Jermaine decided to treat her to a private dance."

Janet Jackson doesn't want to get married again. The singer - who has been dating record producer Jermaine Dupri for the last six years - revealed her two divorces have put her off another marriage.

Janet said: "For me, I don't need a piece of paper to validate what I have with Jermaine. Some people need that, but I don't. It's about a connection of spirituality and finding your soulmate and I think to share your own vows with one another is enough. Maybe I feel this way because I've been married twice, I don't know."
