Oops! Sis did "it" again?

[BREAKING NEWS?] I was about to tell my boyfriend that he's been living under a rock when he sent me a link to a news story called, "Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant"--She gave birth to that kid three months ago, duhhh!

But when I actually read the story, I was shocked to find that Britney's little sis might have another bun in the oven.
The National Enquirer is reporting that Spears is pregnant with her second baby, after giving birth to baby Maddie Briann (wtf kind of name is that?) on June 19.

[UPDATE]
A rep for Jamie Lynn told E! that the 17-year-old is not pregnant. A source who lives in Jamie Lynn's native Kentwood, La., tells E! News: "I talk to [her mom] Lynne all the time. Believe me, she would have mentioned if that little girl is expecting again. That's just a bunch of made-up crap."

Here are some of the tidbits the Enquirer got from an "insider":
“Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical. Jamie Lynn believed she couldn’t get pregnant while she was breast-feeding." - an inside source on Jamie Lynn's rumored pregnancy.
A home pregnancy test came back positive, the source said, and apparently the former "Zoey 101" star's friends are urging her to terminate.

And hey, who the baby daddy???

Who knows if any of this is true, but it seems like one Spears has just gotten her life back on track while the other one is following the deadbeat beaten path.

Thanks, TJS!

D-d-d-did you watch it?

If a glowing piece of the radical rock was something you dreamed of when you were younger, Nickelodeon is giving you another chance to make that dream come true.

"My Family's Got GUTS,"
a family version of the popular 1990s game show, premiered tonight on Nick. Contestants compete in events similar to the original GUTS, including the basketball "Sky Slam," a football throwing competition and a soccer ball scoring battle.

And of course, we get a glimps of the trademark Aggro Crag - intimidating as ever.

The show will run weeknights at 8 p.m. starting tonight (Monday) until Friday, Sept. 26. The series is comprised of two, 11-episode tournaments, each of which includes an hour-long finale and a half-hour special. This season's finale will air Saturday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.

Unfortunately, MFGG took a backseat to tonight's episode of "Gossip Girl" (my crack in television form), but I did manage to catch a few minutes of it during CW commercial breaks...

Props to Nickelodeon for revitalizing one of the greatest shows in the station's history--especially amidst a period of what I consider comparatively lackluster children's programming--but nothing is ever going to live up to the good ole' GUTS days.

This new host, Ben Lyons, can't hold a candle to Michael O'Malley's enthusiasm (and oddly enough Lyons is the new host of the popular critic show "At the Movies"). And Nickelodeon actually had the audacity to bring in a judge with a funny accent who's not Moira Quirk ("Let's go to Mo - MO!").

Maybe I'm just hating a little bit because my family is too old to go on the show now, as is likely the case for most of the original GUTS viewing audience. Watch the clip below. Seriously - how badly did you want to go on this show when you were younger? I remember screaming at the stupid kids who missed an actuator and yelling about how badly I would own them if only I were given the opportunity to try out...



Thanks, Dave!

'Cindy, when you throw up on someone, you're not just throwing up on them, you're throwing up on yourself...'

If you thought watching Christopher Knight on VH1 was embarrassing for the Brady kids, check out lovable Cindy Brady making a fool of herself on a recent radio interview.

Susan Olsen, the 46-year-old better known for playing Cindy Brady on "The Brady Bunch," was giving an overall uninteresting interview on the Darren and Coba show at Jet 107.9 in Colorado Spring until she starts turning a shade of green and admits that she has to blow chunks.

"Chris got me wasted last night and I am so ready to vomit on the microphone," she said, as the panic starts to creep up in the DJ's voice.

After plugging her appearance that night, her young son sitting next to her gleefully chirps, "Watch her drink like a pig!"

Susan runs out of the booth as the DJ super awkwardly tells the kid to leave. Check out the video.

Bo, fo' sho'

I stumbled across this video of Bo Burnham, a white rapper busting some rhymes in what appears to be a small room presumably in his parent's house (because he doesn't look a day over 17).

He may not be the fliest rapper alive, but his rhymes are actually really good. And he could probably wipe the metaphoric rap court clean with Shaq if they were to ever throw down in a battle.

Oh, and he totally gives all you babies of the '80s a new way to think about Patty Mayonnaise...

Baby mama drama

Updating a previous item:

The father of Jamie Lynn Spear's baby, boyfriend Casey Aldridge, 19, could face up to 10 years in prison for statutory rape after getting the 16-year-old Nickelodeon star pregnant.

If the baby was conceived in Spears' home state of Louisiana, the act could technically be considered "felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. There, a person can only legally consent to sex at age 17. If aged 15 or 16, the other person involved must be no more than two years older for the act to be considered legal.

If the baby was conceived in California, where Spears shoots Zoey 101, he could face up to three years in prison: Any person who engages in sexual intercourse with a minor under 18 who is not more than three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanour and faces up to one year in a county jail. If Casey boy is more than three years older than Spears, he could face felony charges, which carry up to three years in prison.” ...Poor guy.

Pregnancy 101

So unless Britney Spears dies, or I run into her at the supermarket, the chances of her even being mentioned on The Jerc Store are slim.

However, I've just gotta share this new Spears' family news, hot off the presses--Britney's little sister, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears, is totally prego.

Yes, the teenage star of "Zoey 101" is 12 weeks pregnant with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge's child. SIXTEEN, people, sixteen.

Mama Lynne Spears apparently was shocked--couldn't imagine why.

"I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."--Lynne Spears
The baby news is detailed in OK magazine, on stands Friday.

Ahh, yes, following in the successful Spears' family tradition. Jamie Lynn is planning on raising the baby in Louisiana, "so it can have a normal family life." Normal! Please, tell me that was joke.
