Janet Jackson sells up - to marry?
Janet Jackson has further fuelled rumours of an upcoming marriage to boyfriend Jermaine Dupri after selling her Malibu, California, beach home for $9m (€7.4m).
The secretive couple have been fighting reports they're planning a wedding for the best part of 2004, but now it looks as if Jackson is planning to pool their assets after making a big sale on her former dream home, which features panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
The five-bedroom house was built in the 1960s and features a media room and a gym.
The new owner is top interior designer Kelly Weartster, who created the décor in the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California, and the lobby level of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Jackson has accused President Bush of using the so-called Nipplegate affair to divert attention from the Iraq War.
She says she regrets apologising for exposing her breast during her performance with Justin Timberlake, saying it only made her look guilty. The singer had issued a public apology within days of the incident at the MTV-produced Super Bowl performance in Houston in February.
She feels the White House used her notorious "wardrobe malfunction" to distract America from criticism of President Bush following the war. Now she says: "Do I vote? Yes I do. Will I be voting for Bush? Hell no!"
