Don’t call it a comeback; she’s lived here for years. In fact, she still hangs out with her mom in Foxborough when she’s home. We’re talking about Joanna Levesque — better known as pop star JoJo — who performed for fans at the Estate on Saturday night. The 19-year-old, whose hits include “Leave (Get Out)’’ and “Too Little, Too Late,’’ sang some new material, posed for pics, and mingled with Chelsea-bred singer Ashley Rodriguez, an early castoff on this season of “American Idol.’’ As usual, JoJo made time for family during her stay on the East Coast. She tweeted to fans about celebrating Mother’s Day with Indian food and even posted photos of her uncle Dale killing bugs around the house. Nice to know Hollywood hasn’t changed her. JoJo also made an appearance at theMGM Grand club Shrine at Foxwoods on Friday, not far from where Jerry Seinfeld was spotted smoking a cigar after performing for a casino crowd.Courtside Legend
