Janet Is Horny, J.Lo Pregnant?

The New York Post reports that ‘Al Qaeda’ leader OSAMA BIN LADEN has more on his mind than just the destruction of America -- the world's most wanted terrorist is reportedly in love with pop superstar WHITNEY HOUSTON.

KOLA BOOF -- a Sudanese poet and novelist who claims to have once been Bin Laden's sex slave -- writes in her autobiography, "Diary of a Lost Girl," which is excerpted in the September Harper's, "He [Bin Laden] told me: Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen."

37-year-old Boof continues, "He said that he had a paramount desire for [Houston] and although he claimed music was evil, he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting."

Boof also says that the terrorist mastermind couldn't stop talking about his favorite singer and had big plans for her. "He said he wanted to give [her] a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum. He explained to me that to possess Whitney, he would be willing to break his color rule and make her one of his wives."

But Bin Laden's treacherous side also emerged in his fantasies about the pop diva. "[He would say] how beautiful she is," Boof writes, "what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband – BOBBY BROWN, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have womens' husbands killed.

Boof claims, "In his briefcase, I would come across photographs of the Star [magazine], as well as copies of Playboy. It would soon come to the point where I was sick of hearing Whitney Houston's name."
