Lily Allen Turns Down Maternity Wear Line

Karen — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:03:00 GMT

Pregnant with boyfriend Ed Simon's baby, Lily Allen has been turning down offers to design and market her own maternity wear line:

"I've had a lot of offers from people to do my own maternity range but I don't think it is the right message to send to young Britain. I'm not the best example. I'm pregnant and a bit young, aren't I? My demographic is generally young girls, so I don't think a maternity line is suitable. It isn't the best impression to give them."

2008 promises to be another crazy year for Allen. "I'm still busy," she says. "I start filming my new TV series in three weeks and have a new album to finish in six months."

Who Knocked Up Jamie Lynn? NOT Casey Aldridge!

HerBadMother — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 23:19:00 GMT

Now, this is very interesting, if it's true: Star Magazine is reporting that Casey Aldridge is NOT the father of Jamie Lynn Spears' forthcoming baby, and that his name is being used to deflect attention from the real father, who is said to be old enough to be charged with statutory rape if the relationship is revealed.

Showbiz Spy picked up the story from Star, and reported it as follows:

The father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby is NOT boyfriend Casey Aldridge, according to shocking reports from the U.S.

News that Britney’s sister was pregnant at 16 - under the legal age for sex in the U.S. - forced 18-year-old Casey into hiding.

But now Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.

Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101′.

“Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.

They say the real reason is that an older man could be charged with statutory rape if revealed to be the father of an under-aged girl’s baby.

But in Jamie Lynn’s home state of Louisiana, Casey would escape charges because a 16-year-old can legally have sex with someone less than two years older than her. “Conveniently, Casey falls under the bar by just 26 days.

“The man many suspect is the father, however, would face charges and probably prison time if he were to come forward and admit he had sex with her,” Star magazine states.

The magazine quotes “two separate Spears family insiders” who believe the father is someone who works on Jamie Lynn’s kids’ show. “Jamie Lynn has been working on Zoey since she was 13,” one of the sources said. “In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast, and she is no exception.

“With everything that has gone on in her family, she needed someone to look up to.

“But the man she found seems to have completely taken advantage of her.”

Another family source added: “Some of us have doubts as to the legitimacy of the claim that Casey is the father.

“Before the news of the pregnancy, how often did you see them together?

“Jamie Lynn has dated Casey on and off over the past two years.

“But it was not steady. In fact, she was looking to date Kevin Federline’s brother about a year ago.

“Jamie Lynn went through a time of partying, and Casey was just a part of that.”

Even Casey recently posted on his own MySpace that he was feeling “blah” about his love life, and added: “Me and Jamie are over…”

In fact, Star claims he had a pregnancy scare with a different girl and had to confess to Jamie Lynn. “Casey is a serial cheater who has lied to Jamie Lynn time and time again,” a close friend told the magazine. “This past spring, he was forced to tell Jamie Lynn that he’d cheated on her and gotten that girl pregnant.”

In fact, Star even insists Casey was openly dating yet another girl at the same time as he was supposed to be romancing Spears. “Yes, my sister is dating Casey - they’ve been dating for a while,” said Kevin Seals of his sister Whitney Seals.

“I know Jamie Lynn was real jealous about Whitney’s relationship with Casey.”

No matter who the father is, insiders believe the pregnancy will be the death knoll for Jamie Lynn’s burgeoning career. It will leave them terrified that she will prove to be the new Britney - and also that Nickelodeon, the TV channel behind Zoey 101, will be terrified of ruining its clean-cut image.

“I cant think of any way that Nickelodean could keep Jamie Lynn’s show on the air, said PR expert Michael Levine.

“If they do, advertisers will drop it like crazy. No advertiser wants to be associated with a minor getting pregnant."

Hmm. Kinda puts this story in a different light. Could it be true?

Then there is this.

Bad News For Literates: Lynne Spears Book Will Be Published

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:05:00 GMT

I almost spilled coffee all over my Zoey 101 Birthing Guide when I read this: Lynne Spears' book will be published after all. Despite earlier reports that it had been shelved. Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame in a Tabloid World will be coming to a bookstore near you. Thank goodness, because I sure am tired of getting all my parenting advice from Alec Baldwin.

After putting the book on hold when news of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy broke, seems like publisher Thomas Nelson had a change of heart. Although, in a statement released by the Christian company they did admit that it will require Divine intervention to finish the project. "Though the book has been delayed, we believe God is at work. The story is still being written, and we are confident in His ability to turn ashes into beauty."

Is anyone else pissed that God is spending time on Lynne Spears' book? No wonder He's been too busy to help me out with my bunions.

Spears Family: Keep Jamie Lynn Away From Britney?

Karen — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:03:00 GMT

A source close to the Spears family is saying that the family wants to keep Jamie Lynn away from Britney Spears to avoid her Mama Influence:

"Britney wasn't the first to know about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, but she's trying to show her sister that she supports her. That's great, but at the same time we're worried. Jamie Lynn always liked to do everything with Britney, but as untimely as this pregnancy is, Britney is probably happy that their kids will be close in age and they can raise them together.

"But the longer Jamie Lynn is around Britney and bonding over this, the harder it's going to be for her to leave and go back to Louisiana like she says she will. It isn't hard to imagine what trouble she could get into if she gets too close to Britney right now."

Keep her away from Britney? But they can share parneting tips and court appointed parenting coaches! It would save so much money!

Let's be real here - the real reason for this is so that Britney doesn't mistake Jamie Lynn Junior for a Junior Whopper and eat her sister's baby. Obviously.

Dave Grohl Faults The Spears Family for Britney's Troubles

Karen — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:05:00 GMT

Dave Grohl, of Foo FIghters and Nirvana fame, blames the Spears family for Britney's trainwrecky goodness:

"Fame will f**k with your head, and if you don't have a solid foundation, you get swept away in it. When Nirvana became famous, I was only 21, but I had a good foundation. Whenever s**t got too crazy, I'd go back to Virginia and spend time with the people who loved me the most, and it kept me from getting dragged under."

Jamie-Lynn's recent pregnancy is another indication that the family is in trouble. Not so much the pregnancy though -- lots of teens from solid families get pregnant, but the thing that proved the lack of support was the fact that Lynne Spears, the woman who was supposed to protect her scared daughter at this time called a frigging magazine and SOLD the story to them. That my friends, is complete bullshit.

I have no issue with teen pregnancy (it happens) and I do hope Jamie-Lynn gets all the support she needs. Britney is a train wreck because she is a drug addicted, mentally ill woman who also needs help. She clearly displays characteristics of a bi-polar or someone with borderline personality disorder. She’s an overgrown child who needs professionals to intervene.

Lynne Spears was not the bane of negativity simply for allowing her daughters to travel down these paths. Sure, some people might be saying that and I think they are idiots for simplifying it to just that.

My HUGE problem with Lynne Spears is 100% completely valid and it’s this: What kind of mother calls up OK Magazine to SELL A STORY of her 16 year old landing in a situation where the child is scared?

The woman has exploited both daughters and I take serious issue with that. Not the acting, not the singing, not even the “Britney image,” it’s the blatant tell-all-to-whatever-publication-will-give her the highest payoff. Period. She’s disgusting and her priorities are way off.

Kids mess up. Parents mess up. I totally get that. But selling their stories (and future stories - OK Magazine paid $1 million for the baby pictures exclusive) when they need to you to support them, love them and protect them from the sharks in the media? Totally wrong.

I’m pissed at Moms who are whining about having to pull Zoey 101 from their living rooms. I’m pissed that these same Moms are putting so much stock in a frigging television starlet to be a role model to our kids. That saddens me. My role models were not stars — they were friend’s mothers, my grandmothers, aunts and cousins. Not Debbie Gibson or The Bangles.

This should open up discussion (as it did in our house last night as I broke the story on Famecrawler when I told my 9 year old). We talked about how it happens, how to prevent it, how to deal with it if it happens and it was a very open and frank discussion — one of many that will happen in this house I’m sure.

Think about Jamie, Britney and their babies — those children (and they all are still very much children in my eyes) are the ones who need more education, support, protection and love.

Jamie Lynn Spears and Baby-Daddy Casey Split

HerBadMother — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:01:00 GMT

Just when you thought that it couldn't get any worse: Jamie Lynn Spears, knocked up at age sixteen, has split up with boyfriend and baby-daddy Casey Aldridge and is said to be planning to raise the baby as a single mom.

According to Life & Style magazine:

“Jamie Lynn and Casey are NOT together. They’ve broken up numerous times, but he was her first and she kept taking him back,” says the insider.

“They’re not dating now. He’s really got nothing to offer this baby. He’s a kid himself. They have no plans to get married.”

“At this point, Jamie Lynn has asked her mom — and not Casey — to be in the delivery room with her.”

A rep for Jamie Lynn was not immediately available for comment.

Not exactly a shocker that a relationship between a pregnant sixteen year old and her nineteen year old horndog boyfriend would maybe not be, you know, forever, but still: this story just keeps getting sadder and sadderer.

It's Safe to Go Back to the Bookstore: Parenting Book By Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears' Mom Will Not Be Released

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:40:00 GMT

Please tell me this book would have been in the fiction section: In a move no doubt prompted by news of 16-year old Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy, Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, Inc. announced that they would be postponing indefinitely the release of Lynne Spears' book on parenting.

Which prompts me to ask - what does Lynne Spears know about parenting? Isn't that like asking Britney to author a DMV manual, or getting her ex Kevin Federline to write a book on hygiene?

A spokesperson for the publisher would not comment on the delay and it's relation to the current Spears family crisis except to say "I can tell you that we are standing behind Lynne and supporting her decision to be with her family at this time."

“Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” chronicled Spears' experience raising children in the public eye and was initially scheduled to be released on Mother’s Day, 2008. Guess I'll have to buy mom the Blackout CD instead.

Britney Just Found Out That Jamie Lynn Spears is Pregnant

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 03:05:00 GMT

According to TMZ, Britney Spears had no idea her little sister was pregnant until the story broke today and is apparently "frantic" over the news. Jamie Lynn, the 16-year old star of Nickelodeon's "Zoe 101", confirmed in an interview with OK! magazine that she is expecting a child with boyfriend Casey Aldridge. She describes him as a longtime boyfriend who she met at church. Okay.

Britney has been estranged from mom Lynne but was seen recently spending time with her younger sibling, so it's surprising that Jamie Lynn kept this "exciting" news from her. Then again, the way Britney's life has been going lately, maybe she just plain forgot.

BREAKING NEWS: Jamie-Lynn Spears is Pregnant?

Karen — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:01:00 GMT

OK Magazine is reporting that 16 year old Jamie-Lynn Spears, younger sister of the popwreck Britney Spears, is PREGNANT!

Together with her mother, the Zoey 101 star spoke to the magazine in an exclusive interview.

All we have heard at this point is that Jamie-Lynn wants to keep the baby and the father is allegedly Casey Aldridge. The pair have been dating for some time.

Nickelodeon issued the following statement this afternoon: "We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."

Might I suggest a gift basket of birth control for the entire Spears family? Yeesh.

UPDATE: Brit-Twit just found out.

Somebody Stop Her: Britney Spears is Pregnant With J.R. Rotem's Baby

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:55:00 GMT

From the "Don't Forget to Spay and Neuter Your Pets" Department: InTouch Weekly is reporting that Britney Spears is pregnant with music producer J.R. Rotem's baby. The magazine will report in its upcoming issue that on November 14 Spears confided to her friends in e-mails that she was four weeks pregnant and that she was certain that Rotem was the father. By 'certain' she means that none of the other guys she'd slept with would take her calls.

Rotem, whom Spears has been seeing of-and-on since splitting with Kevin Federline, has apparently confirmed to InTouch that the baby is his. "It's true," he says, surrounding his words with big fat quotation marks as he mimes fanning a stack of bills.

If you'll recall, Rotem is the prize specimen who sold Britney out by talking explicitly about their sex life to Blender Magazine earlier this year.

May I be the first to say, "Congratulations." I'm talking to their lawyers, not to them.
