Justin Timberlake is Janet Jackson's New Fling?

AFTER saying "Bye, Bye, Bye" to Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake has found solace in the arms of Janet Jackson.

Justin Timberlake is reportedly dating Janet Jackson - who is 15 years his senior.

The couple was spotted in action at Missy Elliot's birthday party in Miami beach, Florida, last week, where the two singers brazenly locked lips together in front of celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire.

A fellow reveler says, "Janet and Justin just started making out in front of everyone. It's like they wanted the whole place to know." And according to another source, rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri - who allegedly dated Jackson - had a close encounter with the pair together at a Los Angeles nightclub two weeks ago.

The spy says, "Janet had paged Jermaine and told him to come meet her at this club. But when he showed up Janet was on the dance floor grinding all over Justin. She was going buck wild. Jermaine was not happy."

Timberlake's representative, Ken Sunshine, says, "People magazine just named Justin the most eligible bachelor in the world. I guess he's fulfilling that role well. But we never, ever comment on his personal life."

Janet refuses to joke about Michael

While Janet Jackson was happy to poke fun at herself during her appearance on "Saturday Night Live," she drew the line at jokes about her troubled brother Michael Jackson.

The 37-year-old singer appeared on the show April 10, scoring a high rating when she made fun of her own breast flashing incident at February's Super Bowl.

But sources say that when writers proposed a skit about Easter with the Jacksons, with Amy Poehler as Michael and Maya Rudolph as LaToya, Janet laughed at the LaToya jokes during the read through, but was silent during all of the Michael gags -- even though none referred to his child molestation case.

The source tells US Weekly that Janet's handlers demanded the skit scrapped.

Janet's representative insists it was dropped because it wasn't funny enough.
