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."

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.

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

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.

News about Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy? So five minutes ago. This hour's surprise baby news comes courtesy of British singer Lily Allen, who is reportedly expecting her first child with Chemical Brothers member Ed Simons. Shockingly, neither Allen nor Simons have impregnated, or been impregnated by, any member of the Spears family.

Lily, 22, has been dating Ed, 37, a whole three months. First comes love, then comes marriage, first comes baby in the baby carriage.

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.

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.
