In an exclusive interview with E! news, Janet Jackson says if she were gay, she’d be diggin’ on Alicia.

“You’ve said it doesn’t bother you if someone says you’re gay or bisexual. So if you were, who would be your top three girl crushes?
I don’t know if I have three. I think I would pick Alicia Keys, for sure. I think she’s wonderful.”

Well, that would certainly be a step up.

Don’t look for Miss Jackson on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend. Sources say she’s cancelled the performance on account of the flu. The pop star checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. last night for shortness of breath, but the latest reports are positive.

According to her reps: “Janet is fine. She’s just battling this flu like everyone else.”

Woo, woo, woooo…

Update: Mariah Carey will take the stage in Janet’s place on “SNL.”
