"&lt;img alt=\"1107_JERMAINE_JACKSON_tmz\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/11/07/1107-jermaine-jackson-tmz-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jermaine Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160;has filed a request to legally CHANGE his last name ... trading out \"Jackson\" for \"Jacksun\" ... TMZ has learned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jermaine filed a petition for a change of name with L.A. County Superior Court yesterday asking for the change in nomenclature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Jermaine says he wants to make the change for \"artistic reasons\" ... but he does not give any further details about the move. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The request has NOT yet been approved by a judge -- but a hearing has been scheduled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barring any crazy legal situations, Jermaine will be required to have his name change announced publicly several times in the next couple of months before it can be made official. A public announcement consists of having the name printed in a local publication ... just like Ron Artest had to do when he changed his name to Metta World Peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached out to Jermaine ... so far, no response."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
