It turns out that when Janet Jackson was causing all that familial drama last year and kidnapping her mom and trying to help family members get their hands on Michael Jackson's money through their kids, she probably had plenty of money of her own because she was already married to almost billionaire Wissam Al Mana. Apparently Janet was ticked off that people were talking about her wedding plans when she was already married. Do you think that wedding planners were cold calling her? I don't think any of us should be shocked that Janet did this. Did anyone know about her other two weddings before they happened? What about her secret love child with James DeBarge? Yeah, she denies that one, but what can she say? Yes, I had a child with him and I choose to ignore the child and have the child pretend I'm an aunt?
Did she convert? Is she Muslim now? No one seems to know.
ReplyDeleteGood for her for being secretly married. Now, who is this love child???
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Rebbie raise her kid?
ReplyDelete@Ashlea
ReplyDeleteThat's the long standing rumor.
How old is the kid? Would that account for her huge weight-gain at one time?
ReplyDeleteIf you google it, you can see a picture of her. Her name is Renee and Rebbie raised her.
ReplyDeleteWhy not raise her child, was she really young at the time or something?
ReplyDeleteSlightly OT but is anyone else skeeved that Prince is working on ET abd 90210? I really hope for his sake he's just having fun.
I don't see why she needs to tell people she's getting married. She needs to stay away from her crazy family, but it pretty obvious the crazy was just well-hidden with her. But good for her on maintaining her distance. Her secret child is over 25 years old. There was an announcement within R&B magazines of her pregnancy at 7 months, then nothing.
ReplyDeleteShe was pregnant during her time on Fame. Allegedly bought the tapes from that season so that they couldn't be seen again. "Chloe" was very big suddenly then left the school.
Deletethe secret child is a rumor since 100 years (at least) like Richard Gere's gerbil
ReplyDeleteHere's a thread on LSA talking about the daughter. Someone said there was a pregnancy announcement in Jet magazine way back in the day, and that a couple issues later it was retracted. HMMMMMM....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I also wonder why she didn't raise the kid. It's not like she couldn't afford it. Maybe she doesn't like kids....who knows.
ReplyDeleteI used to exclude her fron the nuts in her family but she is pretty screwed up too. Some of the Jacksons are just better at hiding it. Who would have thought she would have been in that mess with the kids last year. I would have expected her to be above that bull.
ReplyDeleteI love how Michael K is referring to it as the "upgrade of all upgrades" from "Troll Dupri."
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me Janet ain't all sugar and spice. There is a serious mean streak bubbling just beneath her whispery voiced surface...
ReplyDeleteJanet has her own money. she's loaded, didn't need michaels or wissam's.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, you can never be too rich or too thin. Sometimes the more money you have the more you want!
DeleteSometimes I wish I'd married a billionaire. Sigh. Eh, just feeling poor today. And cranky with hubby.
ReplyDeleteAhh Figgy, I hate those days *passes Figgy a mimosa*
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was strange that MJ didn't choose her for gaurdian for the kids.. and last year proved exactly why she wasn't picked.
And just think, who would have thunk that La Toya was the normal one?!?!?!?!
so she was married when that stuff with Paris and Katherine went down?
ReplyDeleteinteresting.
It goes without saying shes an oddball and weird. Whole family has hitch in their giddyup. She prob wants to kerp her family from asking him for money, which is all these people know how to do. Like a family of ralph kramdens. And this family values money more than their internal organs. They all seem to have taken after their no account father, instead of their gracious mother.
ReplyDeleteIt really is true that the more people have money they concerned with it they seem to be.
ReplyDeleteOh well she's loaded now!
And he's cute!!
ReplyDeleteJanet was the only Jackson I thought had any integrity. I understand why she would keep this stuff secret and I respect her for that but I lost most of my respect for her when the whole "kidnapping Grandma" thing went down.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she's after money at all but I'd think twice before marrying someone from a different religion. Did she convert?
Wonder if she'll get "pregnant" now....wonder if he wants kids cause she will be trying to get her hooks into his money...
ReplyDeleteWait, I thought she got married on NYE 2012. That was the plan, but then it came out a few days later that she didn't get married because she got cold feet. I knew that was a lie, she probably said that to the Jacksons so they wouldn't be there. Anyway, mazel to them.
ReplyDelete@Auntliddy "hitch in their giddyup" Oh honey you made my day!
ReplyDeleteMimosas for everyone!
Janet looks an awful lot like Michael in this picture - for a second I actually thought it was him!
ReplyDeleteThe love child rumour conveniently entered the world at a time when Mr DeBarge had a new album coming out. Janet denied it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Janet.......
ReplyDeleteI've been a Janet fan for years. When she married the DeBarge kid she wasn't even out of her teens. She didn't have that much of her own money. She was still living with Joe and Katherine (which is probably why she got married and moved out). Not long after she got the marriage annulled and gained A LOT of weight. She lost the "weight" and she came out with Control. If you read the lyrics to control, it's a pretty angry song. It's a fairly common rumor that Rebbie was raising her child and she looks a lot like Janet. But if you think that this was early mid 80's, she was not equipped to raise with the stability that the much older stable Rebbie can provide.
ReplyDeleteAs for the kidnapping rumors, I pretty much have faith in Janet. She is the youngest with the deepest pockets (before she married this guy). She was doing whatever she needed to do to protect her mother and herself. I ain't mad at her, and since I wasn't there, I truly can't judge.
@figgy, my husband's so cheap, the stone cracked and fell out of my wedding ring 2 days after the wedding. Badump Bump.
ReplyDeleteI'm wth you PickyNicky. I always wondered if she was trying to protect her mom. I have a few siblings I'd like to protect my mom from.
ReplyDeleteJoElla, thanks *slurp!* :-D
ReplyDeleteg.strathmore, hee hee!
ALl the Jacksons had a penchant for living beyond their means.
ReplyDeleteI liked some of Janet's songs but she'd always bug me by doing interviews with sunglasses on and talking in lowered tones which always looked like she was hiding something.
all i know is he is CUTE!!
ReplyDeleteid convert to anything hed want
I wondered if she married Jermaine Dupri too but managed to get that marriage ended quietly. She doesn't seem to have long term relationships but marriages instead.
ReplyDeleteyou bet she converted. Al Mana is one of the big families in Qatar, it's simply not possible for him to marry a non Muslim.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Qataris are only supposed to marry other Qataris or at the very maximum people from other Gulf countries, so you know he had to get a MAJOR dispensation from the Emir to be able to marry Janet..
and yes, he is hot!
