"Who's this baby's daddy? "

Oh oh oh, that’s too funny. Hit on it. ha! Pun intended, I hope.
I'll just point out that there is a long track record of underage starlets/ingenues sleeping with producers/coworkers/managers who are twenty or more years their seniors.
Alanis Morrisette and David Coulier (ages 15 and 30) or Celine Dion and Rene Angelil (14 and 40), Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt (16 and 26), or Brandy and Robert Smith (16 and at least 30), or Aaliyah and R. Kelly (15 and 27) are all current examples of this phenomenon.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Morrisette, Dion and Brandy all maintained very squeaky-clean images until the facts got out, just like Jamie Spears.
Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern are in hiding.
And OJ is looking for the REAL father...
Depends. In Lousiana, if there is two years or less difference between the two, no. >[?
Dr. Phil says Lynne Spears is a dedicated mother...in a parallel universe!Dr. Phil McGraw has lost all credibility in my eyes. Not that he had a lot of credibility in my eyes to begin with, mind you -- I have never been a fan of his down-home, pop psychology. However, his latest statements really put the capper on the fact that he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
During a holiday party in Beverly Hills this past weekend, Dr. Phil told People magazine that Lynne Spears, mother to Britney and recently pregnant, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn, is a "great and dedicated mother". He admits that things aren't looking up for her right now (ya think?), but McGraw adds that the Spears matriarch has her feet firmly on the ground and that she is turning to her faith for strength in this situation. In fact, Lynne told her friend Dr. Phil that they are turning to prayer to get past this all. No offense, but she must be praying nearly 24 hours a day.
How can I put my opinion of Dr. Phil's statement into words that will not cause a hail of 'U R SO STUPID' messages to fill my inbox? Look, I could see the truth of this statement if it was said when Britney began going crazy, and if it was shown that Lynne Spears was doing her damnedest to keep her child in check. But, it has been YEARS and we have never seen Britney's mom do or say anything to help control her downward slide. Which, to me, totally invalidates McGraw's statement.
Don't you think that, seeing what was happening with her oldest daughter, she would have kept a closer eye on Jamie Lynn? If she had protected her younger daughter for as long as possible (and I'm not saying that Jamie wouldn't have eventually gotten pregnant anyway), then I could probably see some validity in Dr. Phil's statements. I just can't give her that credit right now. In fact, her credibility may be even lower than Dr. Phil's right now, since she was going to publish a book about her parenting techniques raising Britney and Jamie Lynn.
I think Phil and Lynne need to re-examine their strategy when it comes to these statements. Frankly, while the public may sympathize with the elder Spears' plight, they don't really support her.
Maybe K-Fed decided to go after the Little Sis’.
"Who's this baby's daddy? "
Just for the record, only one of the cases you posted - the abomination that is Celine Dion and that Frenchy-French dude - had more than a 20-year age difference. :)
BTW, when you mention the dude Alanis Morrisette slept with - is that the Dave Coulier that was on “Full House”? If so, EEEEEEEW!!!
OMG.
Maybe instead of all that praying, ol’ Lynne might have spent some time actually parenting.
As for Dr. Phil, I find him a bozo, and what you tell me doesn’t change my mind about that one bit. Ugh.
Thats who i was thinking it was...
That’s the one...sorry for spoiling your breakfast
Good point!
Yikes. Now I’m seriously off my feed and will likely need a good Bloody Mary to set the world straight again.
I wonder of her mom’s new book on child rearing includes a chapter called “What to do if your teenage daughter is banging more than one guy”.
Shania Twain became a hit after she married Mutt Lange-—17 years her senior and a music exec.
So did Maria Carrie to Tony Mottola who had a 21 year age difference and
yes
Celine had a 20 year age diff with her hubby.
And golly gee willikers Nadine! They wuz StaRs!
That’s why I don’t see any real talent in the three of those chicks.
ahem
SINGING talent.
Maybe Baby Spears girl wanted to become a super-star via the same path??
You cannot deny that Shania and Celine have singing talent.
Not sure who the second one is.
It's getting to be the flavor of the month in Hollyweird baby production.
Leni
Fintan?
You got some ‘splaining to do?
Bush’s fault. Hers.
