Diva Janet Jackson stunned radio show bosses by insisting she have chilled spring water, from Fiji. Janet sent a minion to the studios of London station Capital an hour before a breakfast show interview to place bottles in a fridge. Then when she arrived she demanded her staff check the water with a THERMOMETER to ensure it was exactly the right temperature.

A source who saw the palaver before Jackson’s chat with host Johnny Vaughan said: “It was simply unbelievable the lengths she went to for a cold glass of water. “She insisted the water was her very own, from a Fijian spring and cooled to a precise temperature before she would drink it.

“How anybody can tell the difference between a standard bottle of mineral water and some from a Fijian spring beggars belief. It was hilarious watching her staff make such a fuss.” Jackson, 40, is not the only star known for outlandish demands. Mad-onna, 48, insisted on a new toilet seat at every single gig on her Confessions tour this year.

Even Janet Jackson isn’t sure whether she’s engaged to boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, she revealed in an interview that aired Tuesday on Britain’s Choice FM Radio. Referring to Dupri, Jackson’s boyfriend of five years, a DJ said, “You guys are getting married …” Jackson responded, “That’s what he said. He, um … that’s … everyone’s been asking me about this. He said something about September 26th we were getting married.” “What are you saying?” asked the DJ. Said Jackson, laughing, “That’s the date the album comes out! September 26th.” (The 26th is the drop date for Jackson’s latest disc, 20 Years Old.)

The DJ then asked, flat-out, “Are you engaged?” “That’s what he said!” Jackson said with a laugh. “So if … I don’t know. You know … Everyone’s been asking me about it. And if it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen.” When the DJ started to ask a follow-up question, Janet asked, “Why is everyone just staring at me? It’s really quiet in here. It’s too quiet in here.”

Should Jackson, 40, and Dupri, 33, tie the knot, it would come as no surprise. At an Atlanta press conference on Friday, Jackson told reporters, “Being with Jermaine has really changed my life. … I always wanted to find love. Now that I found love, I’m in a different space.” Last year, Dupri told People that the only thing holding them back from getting married was timing. “We are trying to get our records right first,” he said. At the time, Dupri had just released his compilation album, Jermaine Dupri Presents: Young, Fly & Flashy, Vol. 1, and Jackson was recording 20 Years Old. “I am trying to make sure that she returns and her career soars the way it is supposed to and we live happily ever after,” he said.

This is just weird! Are all the Jacksons losing their minds as they grow older? Does Dupri remind anyone else of a hobbit, or is it just me?

Janet Jackson’s new single, Call On Me (featuring Nelly), has been leaked onto the web. It’s not as great as I expected, but it’s still good. Nelly is great all by himself. Let us know what you think.
