Britney Spears's sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant with her second child, according to US reports. The unexpected news comes less than four months after the 17-year-old gave birth to her first child Maddie Briann. Jamie Lynn and her mother Lynne were so stunned, they have desperately being trying to keep the teen's pregnancy a secret, according to the National Enquirer

If there’s one person who gets a pregnant teen, it’s Jamie Lynn Spears. Britney Spears’ little sis is reaching out to Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s vice presidential pick. A source close to the Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor tells CelebTV.com exclusively that a gift from Plain Mary was sent to Bristol Palin on behalf of Jamie Lynn Spears. An insider says it was actually Lynne Spears, Jamie Lynn’s mom, who called about the gift, and requested the gift come from her daughter. “It was ordered by phone, and they asked what could be...

The FBI wants to know if you've seen him. Mark Everett, child star of the 80's, is still being sought by the FBI. Mark Everett, aka, Manuel Benitez, Manuel Velasco, Manuele DeValasco, Michael Evers and Mike Evers is wanted for the brutal beating death of his girlfriend Stephanie Spears in 2004.

I am one of those people who actually thought Britney and Kevin would make it. I mean, what's not to work: young, immature, rich too fast, talentless Louisiana small town girl, meets two timing, scum bag, cigarette smoking loser and fall madly in love for the entire world to see in their underwear on Hawaii's beaches. It's the stuff romance novels are made of. But, I digress. Back to the point of the article. I believe that Britney, Paris, and Lindsay are uniquely positioned to be future world leaders and here's why:

Afghanistan’s Shame March 7, 2008. Every country has at least one person who will go down in history as an utter disgrace. For Afghanistan, that person is Adnan Ghalib. Why is he a disgrace? Well, for one thing, he impregnated Britney Spears. [I’ll pause while you clear the vomit from your mouth.] The Afghan-Brit, who is occasionally misidentified as Pakistani-Brit, is the paparazzi photographer who has been “dating” Ms. Spears for the last while. Also, there is a war and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. But never mind! Who cares? Back to Britney and her Afghan bacha-dost. This led Al Arabiya...

Britney Spears’s klieg-lighted meltdown sent her to the psychiatric ward twice, and left her long-divorced parents, her brother, and a SWAT team of lawyers and accountants grappling with how to protect her from predatory hangers-on, from the paparazzi who dog her every move and from her own erratic behavior. Beyond the psychodrama being played out on tabloid covers, celebrity-news shows and gossip Web sites is another serious subject for the Spears family: how to protect the millions of dollars that Ms. Spears, 26, has amassed over a decade as one of America’s biggest pop music, merchandise and endorsement engines. It’s...

FEBRUARY 5--As if anyone needs another glimpse into the lunacy that is Britney Spears's life (and that of her assorted footmen and paparazzi cohorts), the singer's mother has filed a court declaration purporting to describe how her troubled daughter came under the sway of a manipulative manager who drugged the pop star and drove her further from reality. In a Los Angeles Superior Court filing, Lynne Spears describes a series of increasingly bizarre episodes at her daughter's Los Angeles home, where the performer was regularly in the company of businessman Osama (Sam) Lutfi.

Britney will receive the help she desperately needs...whether she wants it or not. While eonline.com has stated Britney Spears feels “more comfortable” staying in the ULCA Medical Center this time, remaining in psychiatric hold for 72 hours, other sources hint that her stay could last longer, possibly even against her will. The medical center where Spears is currently residing has informed TMZ.com that the pop star has been classified as “G. D” -– Greatly Disabled. It appears her Bipolar disorder has taken even more control of the singer’s life, reaching a new level of danger, with “G.D” meaning Spears is...

Britney Spears taken from home in ambulance By Bonnie Malkin Last Updated: 10:53am GMT 31/01/2008 Troubled pop star Britney Spears has been taken to hospital in an ambulance to "get help". The ambulance picked Spears up at her Studio City home shortly after 1:30 am (0930 GMT). It was escorted to the hospital by more than a dozen motorcycle officers, two police cruisers and two police helicopters. Los Angeles police would not immediately confirm the report but one officer, who requested anonymity, said Spears was being taken to "get help". Celebrity gossip website TMZ.com reported Spears was rushed to UCLA...

Britney Spears stunned sales staff at a Betsey Johnson store in Sherman Oaks, California on Sunday (13Jan08) when she stepped out of a fitting room completely naked. A day before Spears' bizarre antics outside a Los Angeles courthouse cost her visitation rights to her young son for a month, the singer was stripping in front of shoppers. Spears and her paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib caused a stir at the upmarket store upon their arrival, and as trendy shoppers watched, Spears grabbed a Betsey Johnson dress and took it to a fitting room. But when she re-appeared, she wasn't wearing the...

Thank goodness Nickelodeon executives are reacting responsibly to the news that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears - star of the network's tween hit "Zoey 101" - is pregnant. Of course, I don't mean the TV big suits decided to cancel her show and stop promoting an unwed teen as someone to emulate. Oh no. The cancellation of the series would cost millions, especially since next year's season has already been filmed. So, of course, canceling is not an option. Instead, Nickelodeon bigwigs are considering airing a special for its young viewers "that would focus on issues of sex and love," according...

... Yes, she's a girl with problems. Yes, Britney's messed up her career, her marriage, motherhood, etc. But when Dr. Phil McGraw showed up at her hospital to help her "get real" with her "issues" - supposedly with her family's blessing - there's one thing that happened to Britney Spears that took the meaning of "wrongness" to a whole new level. "He's crossed the line," mental health pros wailed after he appeared before Britney (reportedly on the invitation Lynne Spears, Brit's mom) and then turned the private meeting into very public plea to "treat" the troubled star on a special...

Dr Phil, called into help Spears family as Britney mnelts down, went public with plans to air it on a special "intervention" show.

"Britney is having a whole host of problems that no one can diagnose for sure," said Dr. Robi Ludwig, a New York psychologist. "Clearly, though, she is troubled."

The bosses of children's TV network Nickelodeon are considering staging an educational special on sex and love after learning one of their biggest stars, Jamie-Lynn Spears, is pregnant at 16.

Decisions, decisions. Keep Zoey 101 on the air, even though series lead Jamie Lynn Spears is now the poster girl for teenage pregnancy, or pull one of cable's most popular youth-targeted series as a PR tactic? Nickelodeon thus far is opting for Plan A and sticking with its schedule to broadcast the remainder of Zoey 101's fourth and final season, which had wrapped production in September, says the Reporter.............."

NEW YORK - Lynne Spears' book about parenting has been delayed indefinitely, her publisher said Wednesday. Lindsey Nobles, a spokeswoman for Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., said Wednesday that the memoir by the mother of Britney Spears was put on hold last week. She declined to comment on whether the delay was connected to the revelation that Spears' 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant. "I can tell you that we are standing behind Lynne and supporting her decision to be with her family at this time," Nobles told The Associated Press. "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - About 200 people armed with spears, knives and sticks, rioted in an Australian outback aboriginal town after an argument in a tavern, police said on Tuesday. The argument, possibly between feuding families, started in the tavern at Aurukun, an isolated aboriginal community in northern Queensland state, on Monday.
