Jamie Lynn Spears' Baby Registry



Bugaboo stroller? Check. Educational toys by Leap Frog and Baby Einstein? Yup. Cookie Monster towels? Got 'em. Although you can barely tell that Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, the baby is coming and it appears that the 16-year-old — and her rumored fiancĂ© Casey Aldridge — have registered in preparation for baby. But is it really the parents' wish list — or just another Internet hoax? While the Babies 'R Us registry seems like it could be the real deal (the basic info seems legit — hometown is Kentwood, La., due date is July 10), none of the big-ticket items have been purchased from the list — only three small things, including two items that retail for $1.99 each. And if it is their registry, they could have spellchecked their "special message" that reads: "THANK YOU FOR SUPPRTING [sic] US DURING THIS SPECIAL TIME."
In recent years, registries under celebrity names have turned out be a mixed bag. Back when Tori Spelling got married for the first ime, her Tiffany & Co. registry was online and anyone in the world could log in and view her wish list, which included a $2,800 menorah. (No word on whether or not she returned it after she got divorced!) And just last year, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, also registered at Tiffany's, requested a sterling silver scalloped bowl at a whopping $1,500! On the other hand, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had several wedding registries that turned out to be fake. There were also several fake ones created when Jamie Lynn's big sister, Britney Spears, was pregnant. When reached for comment about the authenticity of the registry, a Babies 'R Us spokesperson told Star they have a policy of not commenting on their clients.
Do you think this baby registry is the real deal? If so, is there anything you think Jamie Lynn is leaving off the list? And did she really need to register for an eight-pack of batteries? Weigh in on all things Jamie Lynn below.

Lutfi's publicist insists he is "a good guy"


Sam Lutfi's publicist has claimed that his client is a "good guy" who has been unfairly cast as a villain in the ongoing Britney Spears saga.Lutfi, Britney's former manager, was told that he must stay away from the singer after her parents applied for a restraining order in February. The ban was renewed for a further 30 days earlier this week.Sam has now filed an official objection to the California Superior Court commissioner who is overseeing Britney's case. He is expected to appear in court on April 16 to appeal for a new judge. His publicist Michael Sands told the Daily Record: "Sam did an outstanding job and participated in Britney's intervention on January 31. LAPD mental health experts were there that night and they thought he did a star job helping in the intervention."Sam is really a good guy and the public perception is not appropriate. That is the bottom line."

Madonna Speaks Spears on Radio




In recent radio interviews, Madonna opened up about her thoughts of Britney Spears and the paparazzi. On New York’s Z100-FM, The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer confessed, “I actually love Britney Spears’ new album. I usually work out to her record. I do a combination of Pilates and dance aerobics.” In an appearance on the Yo on E! satellite radio show, she also revealed that the pop-star is her eleven-year-old daughter’s favorite artist, and condemned the paparazzi for their constant focus on Spears’ downward spiral. “They need to step off. For real ... Let’s go save her,” adding that her daughter is equally concerned. “She knows Britney, but doesn't catch all that gossip stuff, [but] I think she sorta gets the drift of what's going on, and I think she's kind of protective of Britney.”

X17 XCLUSIVE: Jamie Lynn, The Rock & The Registry!

Guess "The Rumors Are True", folks, Jamie Lynn Spears is engaged to baby daddy Casey Aldridge, and X17 has the proof!
While out registering for her unborn child at Babies R Us in Kentwood yesterday, Jamie Lynn showed off not only her growing belly, but her diamond engagement ring as well!
And just what kinds of items are on Jamie Lynn and Casey's registry?
Although the black Bugaboo Stroller and white Ultrasound Picture Frame seem pretty gender neutral, Jamie does want her child to have a John Deere First Keys teething ring. Is she due to give birth to a boy, like Brit?
She's also registered for a Learn & Groove Musical Table! Sounds like she wants to keep music in the family - maybe Auntie Britney will buy that for her!

Madonna: I Work Out to Britney Spears' Album


Madonna has a surprising choice when it comes to what she listens to while exercising.
"I actually love Britney Spears's new album," she told New York's Z100-FM Thursday. "I usually work out to her record. I do a combination of pilates and dance aerobics."
The singer also explained why she gave Justin Timberlake a shot of B-12 while they were collaborating on her new album, Hard Candy.
"The reason I gave him a B-12 [shot] is because we only had a certain amount of days in the studio and I didn't want him to use that as a lame-a-- excuse not to come to work," she said. "Okay? It's got nothing to do with butt. I promise you. Listen, I don't need to give him a shot to see his butt. Duh."
Madonna – who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this month for her 25-year career span – admitted she's sick of some of her earlier music.
"I'm not sure I can sing 'Holiday' or 'Like A Virgin' ever again," she said. "I just can't – unless somebody paid me like $30 million or something. [Maybe if] some Russian guy wants me to come to the wedding he's going to have to a 17-year-old, you know it."

Britney's Toxic Trio


As Britney Spears continues to cool her heels under the supervision of her father Jamie Spears, there are a trio of former bad influences — former constant companion Sam Lutfi, boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, and her party-girl cousin Alli Sims — biding their time, waiting for the day when the pop princess is unleashed.First up is Brit's former shadow Sam, whom OK! can report has gone from riding the singer's coattails to fixing leaky plumbing and broken windows as the superintendent of his run-down condo in Venice Beach, Calif. Britney's dad has attempted to erase Sam from his daughter’s life by seeing to it that the restraining order against him is enforced to its fullest. However, Sam insists exclusively to OK!, “I’m a good person, and all that matters is that Britney’s getting better.”Sure...Of the three, Adnan, Brit’s notorious paparrazo beau, is the one who has the most contact with her and is the only one who gets to see her in the flesh. “She can call and text him," a Spears family insider tells OK!. "But Jamie has limited his physical appearances in the house.” In fact, the swarthy photog has reportedly been turned away at the gates of Brit's private community, The Summit, at least twice.Earlier this week, Adnan even took to the internet to proclaim his undying affection for Brit and to also say that he's never cheated on her "or any of my past relationships." We think his wife might have something to say about that...Rounding out the trio is Britney's fame-hungry cousin-about-town Alli, who had been using her family member to push herself into the spotlight. Except, as soon as Brit was committed for the first time this year, Alli was on a plane to New York City to "work on her album."Immediately following Brit's release into her father's care, the singing superstar was banned from texting Alli. However, Jamie has recently decided to permit brief phone calls between the pair. “Alli agreed not to be in communication with her close friend Sam Lutfi in order to be granted permission to call and text Britney,” the insider tells OK!.Only time will tell if Britney is able to succesfully avoid the tempting lure of her former party posse, or if this time in relatively quiet lockdown has helped her to see who really has her best interests in mind.Source:OK!

Britney Spears offered role in West End play


Britney Spears has been offered a role in a forthcoming London West End production of the Tennessee Williams play 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.According to the Daily Star, the singer has been offered the role of Blanche DuBois because her own troubled lifestyle echoes that of the character.The newspaper quotes an anonymous source as saying: "She has poise, timing and a real flair. We'd wanted her for Blanche because even though she's technically too young to play her, who else could embody this fallen southern belle so well?"She's living out the story, so to harness that on stage would be amazing for an audience to see – and cathartic for Britney too."

Britney Spears Visits Dentist, K-Fed Talks




Seemingly on the up-and-up, Britney Spears popped out for a trip to the dentist’s office in Studio City on Wednesday afternoon (March 26).Wearing a blue dress and cowgirl boots, the Gimme More singer clasped the hand of her security guard as she was ushered past a pack of paparazzi - making her way inside for a teeth-cleaning appointment.Meanwhile, Brit’s ex Kevin Federline recently spoke to press about his former wives, saying: “I will always love the mothers of my children, and I will always be there for both of them. I believe that any good energy I put out there brings more good energy into my own life. The relationships with my kids and family will last my whole life and are the most important to me.”And although Federline holds full custody of his children with Spears, he’s adamant that his sons (Sean Preston and Jayden James) will grow up in positive environment.“Their needs define my schedule every day. It is so very important to me that my children will always know and never question, that no matter what happens, they have a mommy and daddy who love them very much,” he said.

Behind the Wheel, Britney Scares Her Neighbors


Behind the Wheel, Britney Scares Her NeighborsCategories: car trouble, britney spears Britney Spears is never seen behind the wheel of a car in public anymore. But inside her gated community, neighbors say Brit kills time by using the cul-de-sacs as her own private speedway.One neighbor tells E! News "Britney seriously drives every afternoon around the neighborhood over and over—like back and forth from her house to the gate to her house, spins around the cul-de-sac and back to the gate. At like 50 miles an hour!"This high-speed pacing only adds to our image of Brit as a caged animal, yearning to be free... but too much of a menace to herself and society to be let loose.The neighbor worries Brit is driving too erratically, adding: "She's kind of like a maniac. It's very weird, and I'm scared she's going to run over one of my kids."Consider yourself lucky, neighbor. At least she isn't offering them rides.Source:E!

Help Britney, don’t use her


So, this morning I read on Hollywood.tv that execs are considering giving Brit her own sitcom. Let’s be real here. It was good, it was better than we all expected, it was sweet but it wasn’t that funny.People tuned in for the same reasons people always tune in for Britney. They want to be shocked or catch something bizarre.It’s sad but true. You have a handful of real die hard fans who love her no matter what, probably a million people. Then you have another million or so who love the daily soap opera of Britney-Gate and who watch because they’re expecting full blown tragedy like the VMA’s.NO ONE is funny enough to earn a sitcom after 4 minutes of lines. Again, people trying to earn money off her really quick before the jig is up. Sitcom execs would spit her out the second people stopped tuning in.I say, let her continue to earn her way back into success. Handing her shit just because we were all shocked that she didn’t throw poop against the wall and drool on herself is not going to help her.She needs structure and reward and you will see her slowly comeback. This poor girl has never been told no and her reality is not healthy.I want nothing more than to see Brit succeed but with determination, hard work, and real commitment. Showing up to say 4 minutes of lines is not enough to determine that she has earned a show. I mean, how sad is that, that we are all going YAY!!! because she could function. Come on! Lets hope Britney gets well for good and for life!

Otherwise, it would've been private." Even Chambers' Grey's Anatomy castmates didn't know about the actor's hospital stay - until the media alerted them.

Miley Cyrus Replaces Britney Spears as Paparazzi's Favorite


Ever since Daddy Spears got control of Britney she has been a bore, so boring even the paparazzi have moved on, choosing the younger and hopefully future car wreck Miley Cyrus as their newer favorite target. A top photo agency told Rush & Molly that "there were less than a half dozen [paparazzi] covering Britney" this weekend, but "there were 30 in the pack covering Miley Cyrus."Not even the big news of Brit appearing on the TV show How I Met Your Mother was good enough to bring more photographers out. Even though we can only pray that Miley Cyrus will self-destruct in 3 or 4 years, it is a long shot.It is a sad state for the pop culture world when Miley Cyrus is the most interesting thing we have going on right now. Hopefully Amy Winehouse has something up her sleeve.
