Jackson slams pregnancy report

Pop star Janet Jackson has slammed reports she is expecting a baby with her long-time love Jermaine Dupri.

Recent online media reports claimed the 40-year-old star was pregnant with her first child and had decided to cancel her tour next year to support her latest release, 20 Yo.

A representative for the singer tells American publication Us Weekly: "No, she is not pregnant and she is not cancelling her tour."

Jackson is expected to hit the road at the beginning of next year, though tour dates have yet to be announced.

The Control star has made no secret of her desire to start a family, telling the magazine in October: "I'd love to have children. It's just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do."
