After reports hit the web that Janet Jackson and Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana got married in an over-the-top ceremony, the singer has set the record straight: They wed several month ago!
"The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony," the couple said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight today. "Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy."
The couple have been together since the summer of 2010 and they reportedly got engaged in December of 2012, so we're guessing the wedding came immediately after that. Jackson still hasn't worn her ring publicly, and a source tells Us Magazine, "She's afraid it will get lost, so she keeps it locked up!"
This is the third trip down the aisle for Jackson, who was previously wed to James DeBarge and Rene Elizondo in hush hush ceremonies. The two stepped out today at the Armani fashion show in Milan ... check out the photos in the gallery below.

Did someone indulge in a little too much tiger's blood?
While the rest of Hollywood was at the Dolby Theater attending the Oscars last night, Charlie Sheen was at home mocking the ceremony in a series of bizarre Twitpics!
In one snapshot, the Anger Management actor posed with an iPad down his pants and a packet of vegetables and captioned it, "I'd like to thank Bikram my Yoga teacher. and "Argo" for finally spelling my name right. c #BenIsSmart #Ware'sMatt?"
We're not sure we get where he's going with that!
Another photo shows him clutching a trash can while smoking a cigarette on the floor with the caption, "I'd like to thank Pfizer for all things being PERFECT!!! c #hashgag911 #gashSlag119 smashFlag... mom?"
That sounds like a shout out to the pharmaceutical company, but is he also implying prescription drugs were being consumed? We're so confused!
Whatever was going at Casa de Sheen last night seemed like one wild time!

Natalie Portman and hubby Benjamin Millepied didn't attend the Oscars this year, but they certainly didn't go unnoticed at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Sunset Tower on Sunday evening.
Natalie looked incredible in Dior (and have you seen her Miss Dior Cheri commercial?), but the loose fit of the dress has sparked rumors that she might be pregnant with the couple's second child.
Natalie and Benjamin welcomed son Aleph Portman-Millepied in June of 2011, and they got married last August in Big Sur. It was previously announced that the family will be moving to Paris as Benjamin has been named as the new director of the Paris Opera Ballet.
Natalie is currently prepping for her role in Jane Got a Gun and she's rumored to be starring in In the Garden of Beasts, but she doesn't have any other film roles lined up after that...
Poll
Do You Think Natalie Portman Is Pregnant?
Yes! Why else would she have worn this dress?
No. Why do people think an actress is pregnant every time they're not squeezed into a skintight outfit?

Miley Cyrus struck a pose at the 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar viewing party on Sunday, and after mingling with a fellow partygoers, she palled around with BFF Kelly Osbourne.
The ladies grabbed Elton and planted a kiss on him, and as much as we love Ozzy's daughter, we have to wonder if someone shouldn't call the fashion police on her for this sheer-paneled frock. You really gotta have a body like Miley to pull something like that off!
But who asked who for this group photo? Maybe Kanye's baby mama is secretly a huge fan of the "Can't Be Tamed" singer?

After leaving the 85th Annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater on Sunday night, just about every A-lister and producer headed to the Vanity Fair Oscar after party at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.
Ben Affleck showed off his Oscar for Best Picture, Jennifer Aniston gave us a quick wave as she walked in with fiance Justin Theroux, and the notoriously grumpy Halle Berry looked like a million bucks when she flashed us a smile.
Best Supporting Actress winner Anne Hathaway ditched her pink Prada dress for a silky blue number while Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence slipped into a sexy metallic gown, but most of the starlets stayed in the same couture we snapped them wearing on the red carpet. Check out the gallery below!

The Rocket Man sure knows how to throw a party!
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian managed to break away from filming their reality show to attend Elton John's Oscar bash last night, and the sisters rubbed elbows with tons of their celeb friends, including Nicki Minaj! Other pals at the party included Miley Cyrus, Kelly Osbourne, Molly Sims, and Carmen Electra, among others.
Pregnant Kimmy K donned a white gown that showed off her growing baby bump, while Kourtney kept it conservative in a floor length red and black floral dress. Although they looked amazing, it's Khloe who we think hit it out of the park with her fashion choice! Clad in a neon one shoulder dress, Lamar Odom's wifey managed to steal the show from her famous siblings!
The spotlight will be back on Kim soon enough, though! Due in July, the brunette beauty is expecting a baby girl with Kanye West, according to reports.
We wonder if Miss Minaj and Khloe talked about American Idol vs. X-Factor?

Heidi Klum did not attend the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night, but she definitely stole the show at the 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar Viewing Party!
"Honored to be sitting w/ the amazing @eltonjohndotcom," she tweeted. "The work he does for @ejaforg is truly inspiring! #Oscars"
The 39-year-old supermodel wore a daring gold Julien Macdonald gown which left little to the imagination, and not only did she accessorize with tons of clunky jewelry, but she also wore an ostrich feather boa. While this outfit desperately screams for attention, we have to hand it to the Project Runway host for her flawless figure.

We love the chocolate locks!
Britney Spears attended Elton John's AIDS Foundation Oscar party last night, and we almost didn't recognize the pop princess! The former blonde is now a brunette!
The "Toxic" singer showed off her new hairstyle as she walked the red carpet in a glittery black Michael Cinco dress, and we haven't seen her look this good in a while!
Now that she's single, she must be looking to spice things up!
After splitting with fiance Jason Trawick in January, the former X-Factor judge is getting romantic with a new man named David, who is reportedly a field researcher at a law firm. They even spent Valentine's Day together!
We wonder how a normal guy managed to snag our beloved Brit Brit?!
