about this blog

  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Remember, oh, nine months or so ago, when then-16-year-old Jamie Lynn shocked the world (and, of course, her bosses over at Nickelodeon) by announcing she and boyfriend Casey Aldridge were expecting their first child? Well, now the latest rumor is that the Zoey 101 star -- and mom of less than three months -- is pregnant once again.

Yep, you heard us correctly. According to our MTV UK outlet (who picked the story up from the National Enquirer), Britney's younger sis is now two months into her SECOND pregnancy, and -- as the story goes -- Mama Lynne is none too happy about it.

So what's our take? For now, we're choosing to make like Switzerland and stay neutral on this one. At least, until we hear an official confirmation/denial from the Spears camp -- or TMZ gets ahold of Jamie Lynn's latest sonogram.

Yesterday, for reasons I still can't pinpoint, I was watching the Today show, and old-school octogenarian sexpert Dr. Ruth Westheimer, who's currently pimping her new book about kiddos and the nasty, was on. She weighed in on the Jonas Brothers and their notorious no-nookie rings after the pushy Kathie Lee Gifford brought up the issue of preggo teens and babies havin' babies. (Jamie-Lynn Spears! Bristol Palin! Juno! Oh my!)

Dr. Ruth perceived the Jonas Brothers' no-play pact as a fashion statement, and argued (not necessarily unreasonably), that the matter should be a personal and private one. (On a side note, when I spent two days with the Jonas Brothers during "Jonas Brothers: Live & Mobile," I was politely asked beforehand not to ask questions about the rings because the guys didn't really want to talk about them. They also didn't want to discuss the now-even-more controversial rings in their August 2008 Rolling Stone magazine cover story. So, um, blame Russell Brand!) But Dr. Ruth then also made another, somewhat absurd argument against the Jonas Brothers and their purity rings, and that's that "the other kids" could make fun of them. So much for that "who cares what other kids think?" argument!

Jonases, know this: Dr. Ruth is only 4'7," which means you can totally take her! Then again, if she's still around when you guys do get hitched, you know who to turn to for sex tips. Gross, I know, but she must be doing something right if she's still doing it at 80 years old. Watch the video below, if you can handle it. Hoda Kotb can barely deal.

The Spears family does a lot of things well, like … um… getting pregnant. Marriage, however, is not one of the things they're necessarily "good at." But a 0-3 family history of marriage bust-ups isn't going to stop our l'il Jamie Lynn Spears -- apparently she's engaged to soon-to-be baby-daddy Casey Aldridge. In lieu of onesies, just send Starbucks and Exxon gift cards. As that snooty maître d' in Ferris Bueller's Day Off said, "I weep for the future."

Britney Spears missed the cutoff for vacuum-packing all of her crazy into a jar labeled "2007" and tucking it away in a cool, dark place and kicked off the new year with a big, kinda scary bang. After a three-hour standoff with police, where she refused to hand over her tykes to ex-hubby Kevin Federline, she was strapped to a gurney and hauled off for some seriously needed medical attention. It's about time, y'all!

And while mommy Lynne and knocked up kid sis Jamie Lynn are nowhere to be found, Anna Nicole Smith's "friend" attention whore Bobby Trendy has been spotted holding a vigil "visual" outside the hospital in an attempt to stop another celebrity death … and to remind us that he, unfortunately, is still kicking around looking like a giant heap of discarded wrapping paper.
