Lindsay Lohan Flourishes as Pseudo-Pregnant Halfwit Type in 'Labor Pains' Trailer

STV — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:55:00 EDT

Maybe it's just that Don LaFontaine is dead, but we're more invested than usual in the spectrum of new trailers making their ways through the mourning cosmos The Voice left behind. In fact, it's his special touch that perhaps most conspicuously missing from this new spot for the Lindsay Lohan comedy Labor Pains: "In a world... where one of the biggest celebrities is among the least employable... an independent film gave her a chance... to dazzle audiences again... by faking a pregnancy..." Adding insult to injury, the standard "Coming soon" title card is subbed out for "Now in post-production," reminding us that the film has yet be picked up for American distribution. It'll happen though, don't you worry; this has straight-to-Flopz written all over it. Check it after the jump. [Cinematical]

The Paparazzi Take A Weekend Trip To Louisiana For Jamie Lynn Spears' Baby Shower

Molly Friedman — Mon, 05 May 2008 14:10:00 EDT

Baby showers tend to be happy, innocuous gatherings dabbled with smiley supportive friends, gushing family members and the occasional guest who clearly doesn't want to be there. But when Juno Lynn Spears throws a big ol' baby party down in sweet home Louisiana, party guests also include armed guards and security detail. Why? Well, big sis Britney came to town, bringing her best pair of booty shorts and that memorable messy blonde bun from her barefoot bathroom escapade days along. The rest of the guest list, including which family member was noticeably missing, after the jump.

While thirty guests were reported to have been invited, the paparazzi which "circled around the house and also in helicopters" were not. But, as we know by now, anywhere Britney goes, helicopters and police will follow. And although father and Britney's official off-site prison guard Jamie Spears was present, People doesn't mention matriarch Lynne Spears among the small group of ladies-only invitees. We can only assume The Package and the grandmother-to-be are going through yet another one of their messy patches.

Jamie Lynn Spears' Baby Registry Only Includes One Typo!

Molly Friedman — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:55:00 EDT

Judging by some of the odder items featured on Juno Lynn Spears' alleged baby registry, it seems as though the 16 year-old is hopeful that her precious little one will turn out to be another Spears family cash cow. As People revealed this morning, Jamie Lynn drove over 80 miles from her home in Kentwood to register her bundle of joy at Babies R Us (we're guessing the internet must've been down in Kentwood?). Listed among necessities like strollers and baby monitors priced at $199, the mommy-to-be has picked out some jazzy presents designed to jump start an infant's road to insta-stardom, which will likely come via a role on some Nickelodeon song-and-dance show. See the full list, including the Idol-in-training items, after the jump.

At left, we find the Learn & Groove Musical Table, which "engages and entertains with songs, and features 15 musical activities in both English and Spanish and more than 40 songs and melodies." Surely Baby Juno will master "Soy Un Esclavo 4 U" in no time! At center, the freakazoid Groove 'N Go Music Maker promises to "come to life, playing a unique mix of music and light patterns while dancing around and swinging his arms to the beat!" That beats the way scarier option of being sung lullabies by Aunt Britney herself! Finally, the Take Along Tunes player will "introduce your little one to baby-friendly versions of classical masterpieces by Mozart, Vivaldi, Chopin and Rossini." Who said you can't teach class?

Just in case you're interested in jumping on the registry train, take a peek at the complete list here. But we call dibs on the batteries!

Jamie Lynn Spears Figures Out How To Distance Herself From Britney

Molly Friedman — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:06:05 EDT

Come April 4th, Juno Lynn Spears will finally turn one year older (and, we can only hope, wiser), at which point she'll finally be able to escape the nasty stigma of being Sweet 16 And Pregnant. But, sadly, she will never be able to escape the stigma of being Britney Spears' sister. At least, not technically. But based on photographs taken of the smiling Jamie Lynn in Louisiana yesterday, she may have figured out a way to distance herself from The Package using nothing but her wardrobe. While we are not necessarily advocating short shorts and visible bras as appropriate outerwear for pregnant teens, when you compare it to Britney's penchant for visible bellies and bikini tops worn as, well, tops, Jamie Lynn looks downright Victorian in comparison.

Just Saying No to cowboy boots and bikinis intended for, well, 16-year olds, has clearly helped Jamie Lynn inch away from the proud Spears family tree. Additionally, Jamie Lynn seems to possess an astonishing ability to run a comb through her hair and adopt the ever-popular librarian look (She's bespectacled! That means smart! Even if she still working on finishing her GED!) when trying to establish intellectual cred. If only she could take a note out of Paris' book and start carrying the Bible around instead of t-shirts and coffee, then we might really think she was a genius.
