New last name for Jermaine Jackson
Jermaine Jackson has a new, brighter surname — Jacksun.
A Los Angeles judge approved the change to singer’s name Friday.
The 58-year-old, who shared lead singing duties with his younger brother Michael in the Jackson 5, did not appear in court.
He sought the name change for “artistic reasons” and said it has nothing to do with a recent rift in his family over the care of Michael Jackson’s children and family matriarch Katherine Jackson.
Lane signed divorce on Valentine’s Day
Court records show Diane Lane signed her filing to divorce Josh Brolin on Valentine’s Day.
Lane’s petition to end the actors’ marriage after 81/2 years was filed on Feb. 15.
Her filing, released Friday, lists irreconcilable differences for the couple’s breakup and lists Feb. 13 as their separation date. It does not indicate they have a prenuptial agreement.
It was a second marriage for both.
