Did Jermaine Jackson try to pull a fast one on Janet?

Sources are saying that Jermaine leaked an untrue rumor that his sister would be joining the upcoming Jackson 5 reunion!

According to reports, Janet got into a “huge screaming match” with Jermaine, which no doubt ended in Ms. Jackson telling her bro to eff off.

Here’s what Jermaine said:

“Janet will be joining us. We’re all talking about it now. She has never played with us before so that will be very special. She definitely wants to do it. We had a conference call and Janet has agreed to join us on tour.”

It appears Justin Timerlake is feeling somewhat remorseful about how he handled the much publicized Janet Jackson ‘wardrobe malfunction’ at the Superbowl 2004. When asked recently by Entertainment Weekly what his biggest regret of the decade was, Timberlake, 28, said:

“I wish I had supported Janet more (during the 2004 wardrobe malfunction Super Bowl controversy). I’m not sorry I apologized, but I wish I had been there more for Janet”

I can’t help but think this regret comes a little too late…

We recently told you about a  reconciliation between Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri, but Janet put that to rest when talking about her “ex” on the radio.

According to US magazine, while answering a question about Jermaine during a radio interview in Atlanta, Janet told the host :”I’m not the type of girl that stays in touch with your ex like that.”

DAMN!!!!

Dupri, however, seems to be an exception. “Jermaine is one of my best friends,” she said in a sleepy voice. “I love him to death. We’re still connected. We’re still good friends. We still talk.”

“We’re there for one another,” Jackson said of Dupri. “I think it will remain that way for the rest of my life.”
