From Page Six:

October 22, 2005 -- Janet Jackson's former brother-in-law made a bombshell claim on a hip-hop radio station yesterday — the sexy siren has a secret 18-year-old daughter.
The stunning allegation came from Young DeBarge, whose brother James DeBarge was briefly married to Jackson, now 39, in the 1980s.

During an interview on Hot 97, Young said the busty star and his brother — a former member of another Motown family act — are the parents of "Renee," a daughter sent away in shame to live with the eldest of the famous Jackson siblings, Rebbie.

"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," Young DeBarge said. "No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced."

Janet Jackson's rep Patti Webster didn't deny the claim yesterday, only saying the singer didn't wish to comment. And the young woman is not happy about her star mom's refusal to acknowledge her, the uncle said.

"I think there's a little despondence," DeBarge said when asked about Renee's feelings for Jackson.

She hasn't really revealed that, but I'm sure that there's some feelings there. It's only natural that you wonder about what is and how it's come to be that way."

Young Debarge? That's on my top list of names for my children.

From the nypost site? Damnit.

He felt the beat of the rythm of her night. "The Last Dragon" had the best mid-80's negro kung-fu soundtrack ever. El Debarge disapeared shortly after asking "Who's Johnny?" to the wrong people.

The curse of Short Circuit. Damn you, Johnny 5! I'll see to it that you're not alive!

Janet's lawyer says it isn't true, and everyone knows lawyers are the most noble honest people on the face of the earth.

Haha. Yeah, the rumor she had a secret child has been urban legend for years. But this is the first time one of the Debarge family went out and actually said it.

I hope it is true, if only for the fact I like scandal.
