Did Janet & Jermaine Get Hitched on the DL?

Have Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri already said, "I Do?" Depends on who you ask. If TI is to be believed, the answer is yes. On the last episode of his show, TI's Road to Redemption, the rapper dropped the dime on the couple in this exchange with an elementary school student:

Student: If you had choice between Mary J. Blige or Janet Jackson, who would you marry?

TI: Well they’re both married, so I wouldn’t marry a married woman.

Stay tuned...

Love & Art -- Janet Style

Janet Jackson may be in love with her boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri, but that doesn't mean she's not trying to change him. According to the New York Daily News, the singer -- who was hanging out with her friends -- was overheard saying that the rapping record mogul had never been to the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. She said, "I want to educate him." No word on whether or not he's amenable to such teaching.

Big Pimpin' Could Cramp Snipes' Style

Note to Wesley Snipes – when you're doing things you're really not supposed to do, make sure you steer clear of the cameras. That's some advice he'll have to heed from now on. According to E! Online, the actor – who was sentenced to three years for income tax evasion but is free on a million-dollar bond pending appeal – was photographed big pimpin’ with the likes of Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, and Janet Jackson at a party in the United Arab Emirates back in November. The only thing was that he told the judge that he would be overseas working on a film project.

Last summer, a judge allowed Snipes to travel to Vancouver, London, and Bangkok to work. However, in light of Snipes’ unscheduled stop at the gala opening of the $1.5 billion Atlantis the Palm hotel in Dubai, federal prosecutors really don’t want him to go out of the country again. Assistant US Attorney Robert E. O’Neill filed papers in the US District Court in Ocala, Florida to deny the actor’s request to go to Namibia to reshoot scenes for the horror movie, Galllowwalker, and then to Torino, Italy to film the action flick Game of Death.

O’Neill feels that Wesley has abused the court’s trust in a public way and shouldn’t be allowed to go. In addition, the prosecutor also stated that Namibia is a known haven for international fugitives. Meanwhile, Snipes’ attorney Daniel Meachum said in the latest travel request filed on behalf of his client that Snipes “has never presented and does not currently present a risk of flight. It is essential that Mr. Snipes complete this project to satisfy his civil tax liabilities and provide for his family.”

No word yet on the judge's decision. Stay tuned.
