Janet Jackson releases 'Dammn Baby' amid pregnancy reports


(CNN)Janet Jackson has some baby news: She's dropped a video for her new single "Dammn Baby."
But that's not the only chatter surrounding the superstar that has the Internet buzzing -- several outlets have reported that Jackson is expecting her first child.
Jackson, who turns 50 on May 16, has not confirmed the reports or even addressed them. CNN has reached out to reps for the singer.
In April, Jackson announced she was halting the second leg of her "Unbreakable" world tour for the second time as she and her husband worked on a family.
    "I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour," she told fans in a video released on Twitter. "Please, if you can try and understand that it's important that I do this now. I have to rest up, doctor's orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."
    Jackson quietly married Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana in 2012 and the couple has been intensely private about their relationship.
    In late December, Jackson attributed a tour delay to her need to recover from an unspecified surgery. Talk swirled then that she was suffering from cancer, but she quickly shot those rumors down.
    "The rumors are untrue," Jackson said at the time in a video message. "I do not have cancer. I am recovering."
    Speculation about a possible medical condition was once again rampant when Jackson postponed her tour the second time, especially as she appeared to be lying down in the video when she announced that she and her husband were planning a family.
    Late Wednesday, Jackson tweeted her music video and said, "It's all about Love... #DammnBaby."

    Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

    After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album,  Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the  New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the  Channel Orange  follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...

    Why My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade' Was The 'Sgt Pepper' Of The Emo Generation

    Secret (or not so secret) noughties emos rejoice! Grab some black hair dye and vow to disown your parents all over again! Because  My Chemical Romance  look  set to reissue an expanded version of 'The Black Parade' , their third and most successful album, for its 10 year anniversary (yes, you really are  that  old).  The news last night, stoked by a  mysterious video  teased on the band's long-dormant Twitter page, was enough to rev some sections of the internet into a frenzy. But what's all the fuss about? Well, the album in question wasn't just the band's best, nor just most succinct album of its genre, it was one of the most important records of the last decade.  An  "ostentatious concept-album-cum-rock-opera about death" , as we described it upon its release, the record is a bombastic tour-de-force that took cues from Green Day's 'American Idiot' (both albums were recorded with the same producer) but sounded nothing like its...
