EMBARASSING MOMENT: "When I was over in Sweden, I was performing onstage and I jumped into the crowd-and I came back with no pants! A girl pulled my pants down...and she kept them. I had to [leave the stage]-I had no pants on!"
EXERPT FROM VIBE MAGAZINE: "There's a miniature waterfall in the front yard and a purple Lamborghini collecting dust in the garage...There's a Sony 64-inch flat-screen TV for playing Sega Dreamcast games and toys for his son, Elgin Jr., and every light switch features pictures of G himself (courtesy of his home decorator and No. 1 fan, Mom). But you have to enter the pleasure dome, Ginuwine's master bedroom suite, to see exactly how the Bachelor unwinds. G's bedroom is filled with the basic playboy essentials, from Star Tac cell phones, Motorola two-way pagers, and a fax machine to a DVD-player and yet another enormous flat-screen TV. Close at hand are stacks of is favorite movies and the entire Jodeci collection. "I've gotta have the first Jodeci album," says Ginuwine. "All of them are classics, but Forever My Lady? That's makin'-love music right there." The focus of the room, however, is the massive bed, with, of course, satin sheets. "They're smooth and slippery, so they feel better all over your body," he says. But satin also doesn't breathe like cotton, so don't they get all sweaty?... "Exactly. That's all the better." But will Ginuwine the Bachelor ever become Ginuwine the Domesticated Hubby? "Never," says G. "Well, at least not while I'm still [in the spotlight]. For now, I'm lucky enough to have close female friends who understand. I guess they're all kinda just waiting it out, hoping to outlast the competition."
