Britney Spears's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant.



Nickelodeon, which carries her TV show Zoey 101, said in a statement: "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."

Spears and her mother confirmed the pregnancy to OK! magazine, saying she was 12 weeks along and the father is Jamie Lynn's longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge. Aldridge's mother confirmed it to TMZ.com.

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Jamie Lynn told OK!, according to the Associated Press. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

Spears told the magazine that after confirming the pregnancy with a home test and a subsequent doctor's visit, she told only one friend – then waited two weeks before telling anybody else, including her parents.

"I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision," she told the magazine. "Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."


"I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious," her mother, Lynne Spears, told OK!. "She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."


Aldridge's mother, Joyce Aldridge, told TMZ she was "aware of the recent interview regarding her and being pregnant" and that "we are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn."

"Everything is fine," Joyce Aldridge added.

Spears, a high school junior who is 10 years younger than Britney, had until now escaped much of the attention about her personal life that has surrounded her sister.

Jamie Lynn stars as a schoolgirl at the fictitious Pacific Coast Academy in Zoey 101, finishing its third season next month as one of Nickelodeon's highest-rated shows.

A rep for Spears was not immediately available for comment.

Britney Spears Forgets Her Bra… Again







Last night turned out to be quite the adventure for Britney Spears and the paparazzi trying to keep tabs on her, finally ending at 2am with a pink-wigged Britney arriving at The Peninsula Hotel.

Things started off with the Piece Of Me singer, who was wearing the same clothes as the previous evening, stopping at a 76 gas station for a pack a smokes.




From there, Britney found time to change into a red dress, once again forgetting her bra. After prettying herself up, the pop tart made her way to Cross Creek for a bite to eat.

Then the fun began. According to an insider on the scene, “After having dinner in Cross Creek, a bra-less Britney Spears sent paparazzi on a wild goose chase following her strange antics from location to location.”

Continuing on, the source tells, “She made not one, but two toilet stops - the first at Walgreens 24-hour pharmacy where she came out holding a video camera, and the second at a gas station where she held her nose until she returned to her car. Her peculiar behavior didn’t stop there - the singer made another spontaneous stop to take pictures of a building before taking refuge in a photographers car.”

Switching up her look once more before arriving at her final stop, Britney showed up at The Peninsula Hotel wearing a leopard print dress complete with ripped fishnet tights and her trademark pink wig - checking in for who knows what!

Kat Von D: A New Hollywood Wild Child



Which self-respecting guy doesn’t secretly lust for a bad girl? Kat Von D, the star of TLC’s “Miami Ink” and “LA Ink,” screams bad ass with her raven-colored hair, love for rock and heavy metal and more tattoos than you could possibly count.

Not only is Kat Von D a hard-partying wild child with a hot body (though every inch of it being covered in tats might be a slight turn-off for uptight guys), she’s a gifted tattoo artist to boot. What’s not to love?

Since she began the hottest spinoff on TV in LA Ink (eat your heart out, Private Practice), the wild side of the former Miami Ink co-star has really taken hold.

As if she weren’t inked up enough, Kat and her boyfriend just got matching tattoos with each other’s names on them - and they’ve only been dating a month!

While most would wait more than a few weeks to tag their lover’s name onto their skin for life, the LA Ink hottie and her long haired, Shaggy-like boyfriend showed off the new tats at a Rolling Stone Hot Party last week.



Perhaps a second, tattoo-removal spinoff is in the works for Kat Von D?

In really random news, the boyfriend in question is Alexander Orbie Lee Kelton Orbison, son of Roy Orbison and drummer for Cisco Adler’s band, Whitestarr.

Also interestingly, Kat Von D was on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last week and actually said she’d never tattoo a boyfriend’s name on her clients if it were a new relationship. Someone doesn’t follow her own good advice!

Spears’ visitation rights suspended



Spears' Visitation Rights Yanked


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Britney Spears can’t even visit her children now.

The troubled pop star may not see 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James — who are in the custody of Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline — until she complies with a court order, Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled.

The order, dated Wednesday, does not spell out what directives Spears defied. A hearing in the matter was scheduled for Oct. 26.

A message left with Spears’ attorney, Anne Kiley, was not immediately returned.

In the past, Gordon has reprimanded Spears for not complying with other court orders, repeatedly saying that she lost primary custody to Federline due to her own choices.

Among other things, Gordon has ordered her to undergo random weekly drug testing, citing evidence that Spears engaged in “habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol.”


She could not visit with her children without a parenting coach present. The coach participated in the emergency hearing Wednesday. Both parents were ordered to remain sober around their children.

Theron named 'Sexiest Woman Alive'







LOS ANGELES - has an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award. Now she's Esquire magazine's "sexiest woman alive."

Past winners of the title include Jessica Biel, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson. The issue featuring Theron hits newsstands Oct. 16. Theron talked with the magazine about growing up on a farm, her political interests and her work, including her latest movie, "In the Valley of Elah," a murder mystery set among U.S. troops newly returned from Iraq.

"I wanted to make the movie precisely because it evades formulas about guilt," the 32-year-old actress said. "I'm drawn to ambiguity."

Theron also candidly discussed her least favourite film, "Reindeer Games."

"That was a bad, bad, bad movie," she said. "But ... I got to work with John Frankenheimer. I wasn't lying to myself - that's why I did it."

Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon get married



Rick Salomon and Pamela Anderson were married in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The couple said their vows before Anderson’s three children and some of her family as well as Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas and Hans Klok.

>

Right after the pair were married, Anderson headed back to perform in her second magic show for the day, and made no secret of her new husband. “Hello, I just got married…I did. I’m distracted. It’s a big day,” she said. “A big day at the office.”



This is the third marriage for each. Anderson was previously married to Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. Salomon was married to Elizabeth Dailey and to actress Shannen Doherty. He is probably best known for his sex tape with ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!

Lindsay Lohan Leaves Rehab




Lohan has finished and left rehab, after a one month stay at the Utah centre, completing her program to "get clean."

Her mother told People Magazine: I'm proud of her. She's moving ahead with her life. Things were getting out of control and she took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal.”


Lindsay returned to rehab a second time after going on a car chase during another drug binge on July 24th.

I hope she has really finally cleaned up and can return to a healthy movie career or make a sex tape, the last thing she has not done. The drug binges and car chases are becoming quite a bore at this point.

MTV.com says that she is supposed to start filming a move titled Dare To Love Me

Paris Hilton squirms in Letterman’s hot seat




Paris gets grilled

David Letterman threw some tough questions at Paris Hilton during her appearance on his show last Friday.

NEW YORK - Paris Hilton missed out on a scheduled “Late Show with David Letterman” appearance earlier this summer in order to serve time in jail for a probation violation. When she finally made it to the late-night talk show this past Friday night, David Letterman didn’t let her forget the reason she missed her original appearance.

After a couple of quick opening questions, Letterman went straight into probing Paris about her visit to the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, Calif., this past June.

“How’d you like being in jail?” he asked.


“Not too much,” Hilton replied.

Letterman carried on with a series of slammer-related questions, including what jail was like.

“Well, obviously it was a very traumatic experience, but I did it. I feel like I can do anything now,” Hilton told Letterman.

As the interview pressed on however, it appeared there was one thing Hilton couldn’t do — tackle more questions about jail. As he jumped in with humorous inquiries about jail food, Hilton began to kick one of her legs and squirmed in the guest seat.

“What would a breakfast be?” Letterman asked.

“Like a hard-boiled egg and an orange,” she said.

“What was dinner usually?” he continued.

“Jail mystery meat.” Paris replied with a smile and more leg kicking. “It was pretty bad.”

As Letterman continued to probe, asking if the experience in jail was “ugly,” Paris quickly noted she wanted to change the subject.

“I’ve moved on with my life so I don’t really want to talk about it anymore,” she said.

Letterman, however, did.

“This is where you and I are different, because (that’s) all I wanna talk about,” he said to the heiress as the studio audience erupted in laughter.



“Have you, did you make any friends while you were in jail?” he continued.

“I’m not answering any more questions about it. I’m here for my clothing line and my movie and my perfume. I’m not here to talk about that. I’m moving on,” she replied.

After a few more uncomfortable minutes, Letterman finally switched subjects and Paris was able to promote her projects, including a new movie she is filming in Toronto — “Repo! The Genetic Opera.”

Spears loses custody of children




LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears' legal problems continued Monday when a judge ordered her to surrender custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled that Federline will take custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, beginning Wednesday, "until further order of the court."

The order stemmed from an unspecified oral motion made by Federline's attorneys and was handled in a closed-door hearing. The judge's order didn't state the reason for the change in custody and all transcripts of the proceedings were ordered sealed.

Phone messages left for representatives of Spears and Federline were not immediately returned Monday.

Last month, Gordon said Spears engaged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol." He ordered the pop star to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody dispute with Federline.

Spears also was previously ordered to meet weekly with a "parenting coach" who was to observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills. Both Spears and Federline must complete the court's "Parenting Without Conflict" class.


Spears, 25, and Federline, 29, were wed in October 2004. She filed for divorce last November and it became official in July. The two have joint custody of their sons, but Federline is seeking a greater share of custody.

Since Spears became single, her troubles have played out in the tabloids. First she was photographed at various Hollywood hotspots partying with Paris Hilton. Some photos captured Spears without panties. Then Spears shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and ended up spending a month in rehab.

She was born in McComb, Miss., although she has lived in Los Angeles for many years. Spears was a child performer, a member of Disney's New Mickey Mouse Club and even appeared on (and failed to win) "Star Search." In 2000, her solo music career exploded and she has remained in the headlines ever since.

Many of her latest problems are said to revolve around substance abuse.

Former bodyguard Tony Baretto told NBC's "Today" show that he saw Spears using drugs at a nightclub twice in the same night soon after she got out of rehab.

An MTV Video Music Awards appearance last month meant to herald her comeback was universally panned for her lacklustre performance. The following week, Spears' management firm dropped her and her divorce lawyer resigned.

She then was charged with misdemeanour counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid licence for allegedly crashing into a parked car in August.

Authorities said the accident occurred Aug. 6, when she was filmed by paparazzi steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a parking lot. Spears is scheduled to be arraigned in that case Oct. 10, but she is not required to appear.

It's claimed she has never held a valid California diver's licence, although she has applied for one.

Britney Spears was charged Friday with misdemeanour counts of hit and run



Britney charged over hit & run





LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears was charged Friday with misdemeanour counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August, prosecutors said.

If convicted, the singer could face up to six months in jail and a US$1,000 fine for each count, said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney's office.

Messages left with Spears' lawyers were not immediately returned.

The accident occurred Aug. 6, Velasquez said.

Spears, 25, was filmed by paparazzi that day steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. After assessing the damage to her own car only, she was shown on paparazzi video walking away.

Three days after the accident, the owner of the other vehicle filed a police report, and investigators later determined that Spears does not have a license, officials said.




Spears was scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 10, but she is not required to appear.

The case adds to the singer's woes, coming days after a court commissioner ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing in her child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Her management firm also recently dropped her, and her performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards was widely panned.

BRIT DROPPED BY MANAGEMENT !!


Britney Spears' former management company, The Firm, has confirmed an exclusive report that they have dropped the singer.

In a statement issued Monday evening, The Firm announced:

"It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears. We have represented Britney for the past month. We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job. We wish Britney the best."

A source close to Spears told CelebTV.com on Monday the singer was dropped by The Firm, her management team of one month.

Spears hired Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm in August to help revive her flagging career. He apparently dropped the singer due to her recent erratic behavior.

The same source told CelebTV.com the change in management could possibly affect the scheduled November 13 release of her new album.

But a rep for Spears' record label, Jive, told CelebTV.com they were unaware of any change in management and did not anticipate a delay in the album's release. “As we gear up for our Nov 13th album release date, we are

Ex-bodyguard says Spears used drugs


LOS ANGELES - A former bodyguard for Britney Spears offered on Monday to testify at a custody hearing about nudity and drug use at her home and his fears for the safety of her two young sons.

Gloria Allred, the lawyer for bodyguard Tony Barretto, said outside the courthouse that she was shocked that her client was not questioned by the attorneys in the case and that, instead, Barretto's comments were filed with the court as what she described as evidence.

The pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are battling over custody of their sons.

Barretto, 28, said in a court filing that he worked for Spears from the time she left a rehabilitation clinic in March until May 17, 2007, and that he watched her behaviour in and out of the house.

"Our client was prepared to testify on issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use, and safety issues involving the children post-rehab," Allred said.

Federline's attorney, Mark V. Kaplan, said it was not unusual for lawyers to decline questioning a surprise witness. "Sometimes lawyers don't like cross-examining when they don't know what the extent of the answers will be," said Kaplan.

Kaplan did not discuss what went on inside the hearing, but told reporters his client was not seeking more money from Spears. Kaplan said a new custody hearing would likely come in mid-November. An exact date was not yet available.

Meanwhile, Spears' attorney Laura Wasser was replaced by Mel Goldman of Los Angeles law firm Freid and Goldman. Goldman gave no reason for the change, and Wasser did not talk to reporters after leaving court.

In yet another development, the Web site for celebrity TV show Entertainment Tonight posted a story citing unnamed sources as saying the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation was looking into death threats against Federline
A spokeswoman for the FBI said that the agency had received "non-specific and uncorroborated" information about such a threat and had passed the information to local police. She said the agency investigates such matters routinely.

Los Angeles police confirmed that in June they investigated a claim that someone tried to arrange a contract killing on Federline, but the report was never proven. The case was closed.

Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay Creates New Dish: Seared Bollock





I am sure all you guys will cringe after reading this story. It seems Gordon Ramsay “played with fire, ” and lost:

Celebrity chef had to take trip to hospital after getting too close to cooker

Gordon Ramsay burnt his testicle when he got too close to a hot oven.

The celeb chef, 40, had to be rushed to London’s private Cromwell Hospital - and he’s not too proud to tell the tale.

The other day I was standing too close to the hob when I was cooking,’ he told the Daily Mirror at the GQ Awards.

I was wearing cotton trousers and underneath I was going commando.

Then suddenly I felt this searing heat - my balls were burning.

I burnt my right bollock (ball/testicle) and I’m in absolute agony. You wouldn’t believe how much this hurts.

I wonder what kind of garnish he served with his new dish?

Audiotape of alleged O.J. Simpson robbery emerges




LOS ANGELES — An apparent audio-tape of the alleged armed robbery involving O.J. Simpson emerged on Monday as the disgraced American football star languished behind bars in a Las Vegas jail.

Simpson, an iconic athlete who was famously acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife and her friend, was arrested by police in the gambling haven on Sunday in connection with an incident last Thursday.

The 60-year-old was charged with two counts each of robbery with a deadly weapon and assault with a deadly weapon as well as burglary charges. If convicted he could face years in prison.

On a tape that surfaced in US media reports on Monday, a man identified as Simpson could be heard angrily confronting two dealers of sports memorabilia, who claim they were robbed at gunpoint by Simpson and a gang of associates.

"Think you can steal my shit and sell it?" the man purported to be Simpson is heard to say after telling his associates: "Don't let nobody out of here!"

Several unidentified voices are heard barking aggressive, expletive-laden demands at the victims of the heist, Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong.

In interviews with US media, Simpson has insisted he is innocent, saying he was merely collecting personal possessions that had been stolen from him.

Fromong meanwhile told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday how Simpson and his associates had stormed into his hotel room.

"The door burst open and they came in commando style, O.J. Simpson and some of his people, I guess you would call it, with guns drawn," Fromong said.

"The thing in my mind as soon as I saw him, I'm thinking, 'O.J., how can you be this dumb?'"

Simpson spent the night in jail in Las Vegas on Sunday and was due to remain behind bars until a court hearing on Wednesday, Clark County Court judge Nancy Oesterle told reporters Monday.

Police are also searching for four other men believed to be with Simpson during the incident.

Simpson, one of the best known American football players of his generation during the 1970s before going on to appear in several movies and television shows, was the prime suspect in the horrific 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

Simpson, who has always vehemently denied the killings, was acquitted after a racially charged Los Angeles trial in 1995, a verdict that was greeted with widespread outrage across America.

Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a 1997 civil suit and was ordered to pay damages to the victims' families totaling 33.5 million dollars.

The father of Ron Goldman, Fred Goldman, who has campaigned relentlessly to prevent Simpson from profiting from his alleged crimes, said he had been struck by the former sports star's "arrogant swagger" following his arrest.

"I guess the first reaction I had to seeing him in handcuffs and walking was he still had that arrogant swagger about him, 'I'm still in charge of the world,'" Goldman told CBS's "The Early Show."

"Which is what I think this whole thing is all about. He thinks he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, the world is his stage and he's the master puppeteer."

Last year the Goldman family led a storm of protest against Simpson's book "If I Did It," a hypothetical account of the murders.

Publication of the book was later cancelled following a nationwide outcry, and the rights to it were subsequently awarded to the victim's families.

It was finally published last week and is second on Amazon.com's best-seller list, with all proceeds going to the victim's families.
