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."

    Google Doodle Honors Mathematician-Juggler Claude Shannon

    Keystone/Getty Images Claude Shannon, a mathematician at the Bell Telephone Laboratories, with an electronic mouse which has a 'super' memory and can learn its way around a maze without a mistake after only one "training" run. He transformed digital computing and electronic communication Claude Shannon, nicknamed “the father of information theory” for his work on digital computing and electronic communication, was also ajuggling unicyclist who would have turned 100 on Saturday. To mark his birthday and his achievements, Saturday’s Google Doodle honored Shannon, depicting him juggling a set of ones and zeroes, the numbers he used to transform computing after learning they could be used to represent words, pictures, videos and more. While he was a research assistant at MIT, Shannon drew from Boolean algebra to pioneer digital computing, using the value of “1” for circuits turned on, and the value of “0” for circuits that were off. Before Shannon moved ...

    Hillary Clinton Gains Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump in Key Battleground States

    Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Trump has been plagued by controversy since his party’s convention three weeks ago, clashing with the father of a fallen Muslim soldier, refusing to endorse House Speaker...

    Jill Stein on 11 key issues: Where does Green Party presidential candidate stand?

    Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein presents herself as a viable alternative this year to the two major-party candidates, who have the lowest approval ratings of any presidential nominees in the past seven decades. Stein, 66, of Lexington, Mass., is making her second bid for president on the Green Party ballot line. The Harvard-educated doctor received almost 500,000 votes for president in 2012, which she boasts is still the record for most votes received by a woman candidate for president in the general election. Stein says she became involved in politics more than a decade ago because she didn't like the country's direction, and had become alarmed about children becoming ill from environmental pollution and unhealthy foods they are provided. She and running mate Ajamu Baraka support a "Green New Deal" under which the government would end dependence on fossil fuels, fight climate change and create millions of new green-energy jobs.
