On July 7, Michael Jackson’s family ­gathered to celebrate him at his much-watched memorial service.

Noticeably absent?

Janet ­Jackson’s longtime music-exec boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri. (A pal says Dupri skipped the memorial because he “doesn’t attend funerals.”)

And for good reason. “His friends are telling people it’s over,” a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

Echoes another: “They have been moving in different directions for a while.”

So what drove Jackson, 43, and Dupri, 36, apart after nearly seven years?

“You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure,” a mutual pal explains. (Dupri produced several tracks on her last two CDs.) “Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things sepa­rate.”

Plus, the polar opposites were never too compatible.

“Jermaine likes to be out there, mingling with everybody, and ­Janet’s more shy.” (And secretive: She kept her nine-year marriage to Rene Elizondo hidden until their 2000 ­divorce.)

Meanwhile, Jackson is still deeply mourning the death of her big brother.

“She’s devastated,” an insider says. “She’s busy caring for Michael’s kids. Janet’s the family’s backbone.”

Jackson’s rep couldn’t be reached.

Bachelorette Jillian Harris will likely pick Ed, predicts a former star of the show.

“I think she’s going to choose Ed,” Bachelorette alum DeAnna Pappas tells Extra.

On Monday’s Hawaiian episode, Ed couldn’t keep his hands off Harris as they took a catamaran ride and went for a swim. He even declared to Harris, “I love you,” and begged her to “trust” him.

Pappas says Harris has “only had eyes for Ed from day one.”

She adds that Harris likely regrets keeping bad boy Wes around for so long.

“I’m sure Jillian is sitting at home [watching the show] going [hits head], ‘Why did I let him get past night one?’” she says of Wes, who revealed he had a girlfriend and only signed up for the ABC reality show to publicize his album.

Pappas goes on to say it will be tough for Harris to confront the guys she let go on the July 20 The Men Tell All episode.

“You’re extremely nervous,” Pappas says, recalling her own experience. “The final four [guys], you have really strong feelings for. So I know for me going back and seeing Graham and Jeremy on my season, it was extremely hard, so I know it’s going to be that way for Jillian.”

The Bachelorette finale airs July 27 on ABC.
