...and I'd hate for it to get lost in the shuffle. From the Associated Press:

JERMAINE JACKSON PETITIONS TO ALTER FAMOUS NAME

Jermaine Jackson wants to change his name to something a little brighter. He's asking a court to allow him to alter his famous surname and become Jermaine Jacksun....The filing doesn't elaborate, but Jackson's friend Steve Dennis, who was speaking on the singer's behalf, said it's not unheard of for artists to change their names. "Phonetically, it changes nothing," he said. "It is something he has chosen to do, and it's fair to say that you cannot blame this one on the boogie, you've got to blame it on the sunshine."

Full story here.

Hold the presses... Jermaine Jackson is an artist?
Since when does being a money sucking waste of space qualify you for that title?
