Janet shuns Jackson family reunion

Janet Jackson has refused to join her siblings in a Jackson family world tour - because she is reportedly trying to distance herself from her "freaky" brother Michael.

The King of Pop and his siblings are planning an international tour with stops in 40 different cities - but their youngest sister is reluctant to join in the reunion as she doesn't want to be linked to the troubled singer and his legal woes, according to New York gossip column Page Six.

A source tells the website: "Janet said she would be willing to participate in a few select shows next year, but (her fiance) Jermaine Dupri is holding her out of it.

"He wants Janet to go back in the studio and record another album, and he's also wary of having her be associated with Michael because he has such bad press and is just freaky."
