NO COMMENT: JD BOOTED FROM UNIVERSAL.

Jermaine Dupri was let go from Universal Music on Thursday. Dupri, who served as president of Island Records Urban Music division, basically collected a paycheck but didn't show up to work for several months. "After [his girlfriend] Janet Jackson's album and tour bombed, he didn't come back to work... he just lost heart," sources told gossip paper Page Six. While executives tried to talk to Dupri about his performance, nothing changed. "He didn't bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up," sources said.

His departure follows shortly after Jackson broke ties with Island Def Jam after her latest album, 'Discipline,' posted disappointing sales of less than 500,000. According to Page Six, "Dupri was widely blamed for Jackson's album flop as he insisted on letting her get her way on song selection and production." A rep for Dupri's boss, Island/Def Jam head L.A. Reid, declined to comment

YAWN: SUPERGRASS QUIT RECORD LABEL.

British rockers SUPERGRASS have left their record label of 12 years and appointed bassist MICKEY QUINN managing director of the band. The trio has walked away from their deal with EMI-owned Parlophone records, which has been their home since their 1994 debut track Caught By The Fuzz. They will now release all of their future music through their own company Supergrass Records, in a bid to give them more control over their careers.

Quinn, who will take over administrative duties for the band, tells NME.com, "When you're footing the bill you pull your horns in. In a lot of ways that makes you more creative." The All right hitmakers are the latest in a long line to walk away from EMI, with acts including Sir Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Radiohead all leaving after the company was taken over by private equity group Terra Firma in 2007.
