Earlier this week, Janet Jackson’s long term boyfriend Jermaine Dupri did an interview with Us Weekly in which he emphatically denied that his girlfriend is expecting. Just two days later, Life&Style is saying that Jackson is indeed with child, and has been spreading the news to all her friends and family. So, which is it?

After a series of canceled concert dates, Janet Jackson finally pulled the plug on her Rock Witchu tour in early November, setting off a flurry of rumors about what could have gone wrong.

Now, an insider close to Janet tells Life & Style the real reason she needed to back out: She and longtime partner Jermaine Dupri, 36, are getting ready for a baby!

I’m going to take a guess and say that Janet IS pregnant. Call it a feeling I have. Remember when “Discipline,” Janet’s new CD, was first released, and Miss Jackson came out looking all super buff and svelte? In the latest photos of her, she looks like she’s gained a little weight – but then again, that doesn’t mean anything. Janet has lost and gained weight many times over the years. Of course, what’s going on with Janet Jackson’s womb is her business entirely, but it is getting tiresome that all these alleged news outlets have a different version of the story. I would normally tend to go with Us Weekly, since they are a bit more reputable than Life&Style and in this case, they have word straight from the alleged father of this possibly non-existent fetus. But with Janet, you never really know. She’s managed to get married and divorced twice completely under the radar. Maybe her camp is issuing all these different stories on purpose?
