Janet Jackson used to have a crush on Barry Manilow.
The 42-year-old singer was so obsessed with the 64-year-old 'Mandy' star she would pretend they were together when she saw him on television.
She said: "I used to kiss the screen whenever Barry was on TV!"
Janet - who has been divorced twice - also insists she has no plans to marry producer boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, and is happy with their relationship as it is.
She added to US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "I don't know if we are going to get married. We're good where we are right now."
However, Janet recently revealed she is keen to start a family of her own, saying: "At some point in my life I want children. When I was younger, I used to babysit my nieces and nephews."
Janet isn't alone in her admiration for Manilow.
He is so popular worldwide that he has coined his own phrase, a 'fanilow', for people who are followers of his music.
