The world of fame guarantees that all of your personal business will be aired out; it’s the simple downside to a life that’s decorated with the finer things. Even so, many celebrities, for years, have managed to keep small nuggets of knowledge about their past and personal lives from the public for long stints of time before that info is unearthed. We learned as much from Janet Jackson’s secret marriage.

So, in the interest of discovery, here’s a list of little known, but more fun facts about some of your favorite celebrities.

Jamie Foxx

As a 2nd grader, Django Unchained star, Jamie Foxx was so talented at telling jokes, his teacher used him as a reward for the hard work and cooperation of her students. If the class behaved, Jamie would entertain them.

Remember Tiffany Evans, the “little” girl with the big voice from Star Search and a couple of the “Madea” movies (she was Tyler Perry’s choir-singing daughter in Diary of a Mad Black Woman)? Well, she’s not so little anymore and she’s been up to a lot over the last couple of years – some of which may surprise you.

In an interview with Essence.com, Tiffany talked about her new music – an EP titled Take 1 – which she says finally shows off her talents as not only a singer but a songwriter.  As she says:

“My fans have never heard any music written by me. I thought it was important to do so this time around. I also thought it was important for me to experience life and go through things to write about them from a true place. I wanted this project to be organic. I had to take myself down a notch and go through love and write about it.“

And experiencing life is exactly what Tiffany has been doing. In a pretty shocking announcement, she revealed that at 19, she’s also expecting her first child with her husband of TWO YEARS!  This came as a bit of a surprise because although there had been rumors that Tiffany might have been married over the last six months, she never said a word confirming or denying it.  Tiffany is married to a man named Lorenzo, one of Ciara’s backup dancers, and apparently they’ve been going strong for a few years now.  Tiffany said she’s just been waiting on the right time to announce it.

She certainly has a lot going on for such a young woman, but that might not be a bad thing. We wish her the best!

What were you doing at 17 years old? Could you imagine getting married that young?
