DOES JANET JACKSON HAVE AN 18-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER?

Does Janet Jackson have an 18-year-old daughter? If you believe what Young DeBarge said during an appearance on New York City radio station Hot 97’s Morning Show With Miss Jones, the answer might be yes.

On the show Friday morning (October 21), DeBarge said that Jackson had a daughter when she was married to James DeBarge. He claimed on the show that he had a niece, “Renee,” the “just-about-18”-year old daughter of James DeBarge and Jackson. Young DeBarge refused to confirm that she also had a 16-year-old son from the same relationship.

Young claimed that the marriage took place approximately 19 years ago. He explained how he wasn’t prepared when his brother brought Jackson home and claimed that the Jackson family kept the relationship quiet.

During the interview, Young DeBarge said that he expected that the release of the information would occur “naturally.” He added that the Jackson issue is “a common question. I’ve always dealt with that. I’m prepared to deal with that.”

I can't keep up with the Jacksons.

I can't keep up with the Jacksons.

I think it doesn't matter. Why should we bother in their personal business? We wouldn't like it if people posted our secrets on the internet or told them to reporters, so why do we bother trying to learn about the secrets of people who are so-called "famous."

I can't keep up with the Jacksons.

I don't know how she manages to keep these things secret (remember when we found out she was married to that wimpy little man, René Elizondo?) but can't manage to keep her breasts in her clothes.

The famously secretive pop star broke her silence Wednesday on assertions by her former brother-in-law that she had a secret 18-year-old daughter.


"I do not have a child, and all allegations saying so are false," Jackson said in a brief statement.


Jackson did not mention ex-husband James DeBarge. She didn't have to--Young DeBarge, one of James DeBarge's brothers, did that himself last Friday during an interview on New York City's WQHT-FM ("Hot 97").


Young DeBarge said on the air that his brother and Jackson, who were briefly married from 1984 to 1985, had a baby together. The child, named Renee, was raised by Jackson's eldest sister, Rebbie, he said.


When not dishing on family gossip, Young DeBarge was said to be promoting an upcoming album.


Jackson, meanwhile, reportedly was moving on to more pressing matters--namely, trying to get a stalkerazzi video of her backyard sunbathing routine off the Internet, MSNBC.com said.


The clip, making the rounds for about a month, shows a slap-happy Jackson playing her bare bottom "like bongos," as the New York Post originally put it. "I believe that she's particularly unhappy about this video because shes not in great shape," a source told MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls.


Jackson, 39, prefers to show off her shape at the Super Bowl.

I think the most normal one is Reebie.  She stays faaaaarrrrrrr from the spotlight.
