Jamie Lynn Spears welcomed in a little baby girl this morning, Maddie Briann. With all the drama in the Spears’ lives it doesn’t surprise me one bit that Jamie Lynn picked a whacked out name like that for her daughter. Who am I to judge though, I’m sure it will all work out for the best in redneck-land y’all!

People magazine reports:

Just the family was there,” says a source about the birth around 9:30 a.m. at a hospital in Mississippi, near her Louisiana hometown. “Everyone is healthy and happy.”

Well sure everyone is happy and healthy right now, but just wait until little Maddie is all grown up. Auntie Britney will surely show her how to act like a proper lady!  Oh how I hope I am still around to see that shit-storm!

We first met People Magazine’s Hottest Bachelor when he played good-guy A.C. Slater on Saved by the Bell. He’s since moved on to Dancing with the Stars and is now co-host of Extra’s weekend edition and star of Broadway’s A Chorus Line. Still, Lopez, 34 – here recreating Mark Wahlberg’s famous “Marky Mark” pose – says he wasn’t always so fit: “I was a fat, fat baby. I looked like a sumo wrestler. My mom had to pull the fat folds apart when she bathed me!”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Perhaps Brangelina chose southern France for its blue skies, vineyards and the availability of an estate with a moat. But there’s another reason the world’s most famous expecting couple was smart to come here: French law is tough on paparazzi, especially when it comes to snapping photos of children.

That could come in handy after the birth of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins — particularly if they hope to sell rights to the first baby pictures for millions.

In France, where the Jolie-Pitts are believed to be setting up house to prepare for the births of children Nos. 5 and 6, other celebrities have waged war on gossip magazines with relentless,
precedent-setting lawsuits.

Often, the tactic pays: Monaco’s royal family grossed $681,120 through lawsuits in France in 2006, the newspaper Le Figaro has reported. On top of fines, magazines are regularly ordered to slap huge “mea culpa” notices across their covers.

“This country is medieval in terms of its legislation about printing information about celebrities,” fumed Loic Sellin, editor of glossy Voici magazine. “It’s shameful. Absolutely everything can be considered an attack on someone’s private life.”

Case in point: Former presidential candidate Segolene Royal won more than $12,000 from Paris Match magazine after it ran photos of her praying in an Italian church.

The lines are blurry and debatable, but there’s general agreement on the need to shield children from the media glare. To avoid lawsuits, magazines regularly blur out the faces of celebrities’ children or simply pull the photos.

The four Jolie-Pitt children — 6-year-old Maddox, 4-year-old Pax, 3-year-old Zahara and 2-year-old Shiloh — are an exception, simply because they have been seen out in public so often.

But if any magazines were to obtain snapshots of Jolie and her as-yet-unborn twins, two French lawyers say they would counsel them to blur the babies’ faces in most cases. Jolie has said in the past that the babies are due in August but there has been no further word.

“Let’s say she went to the French Open with her children, I would say, ‘she’s out in public and knows she’ll be seen, there’s no reason to ban the photo,”’ said lawyer Daphne Juster, who
regularly defends photographers. “But if she’s strolling in the park in sunglasses, minding her own business, she could say, ‘I tried to be discreet, this is not part of my public life,’ and can sue.”

Emmanuel Pierrat, who defends both gossip magazines and celebrities, said he might urge magazines to run photos of the babies snuggling up against their mother, or turned from the camera, so their faces do not show. Of course, he says, “some would take the risk anyway.”

In which case, he said, there would be an added incentive for Jolie and Pitt to sue: The couple sold exclusive photos of Shiloh to People magazine for a reported $4 million and donated the money to charity, a practice they’re likely to duplicate, with rumors brewing of a bidding war inching toward $10 million this time around.

There is no indication that paparazzi laws played a role in the actors’ decision to settle in the Provence village of Correns, in a sprawling stone villa with a tile roof and blue shutters.

The town’s mayor says they have moved in already, and a helicopter has been spotted taking off and landing at the site, but it is unclear if the couple is actually there. Though Pitt has been glimpsed nearby in Italy and Switzerland, Jolie has remained out of sight since the Cannes Film Festival in May.

“Entertainment Tonight” aired a story about the birth of Angelina Jolie’s twins despite being repeatedly told beforehand that the report was based on information from someone impersonating Jolie’s assistant, according to documents and two people with knowledge of the exchange.

The celebrity newsmagazine denied Wednesday that it knew about an impostor before the broadcast. The identity of the impostor remained unknown.

On Friday morning, the show posted a story on its Web site and sent an e-mail alert to media outlets saying it had confirmed the birth of Jolie’s twins. The Associated Press picked up the report.

“Entertainment Tonight” did not name its source at the time. It later revealed that the report was based on e-mails from someone it thought was Jolie assistant Holly Goline.

Shortly after the story was posted but several hours before the broadcast aired, Goline told “Entertainment Tonight” that she was not the person with whom they had been corresponding, a person with direct knowledge of the conversation told The Associated Press. That account was confirmed by another person close to Jolie.

“‘Entertainment Tonight‘ was told before the broadcast that their information came from an impostor,” said the second person. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

The people said there were several conversations Friday, by e-mail, text message and telephone, between Goline and “Entertainment Tonight.” Meanwhile, the story was quickly challenged by several other celebrity news outlets.

The TV show stood by its story Friday night, with host Mary Hart saying on the air, “Just this morning, a source who says she was inside the delivery room tells us yes, the babies were born and yes, mother and babies are fine.”

Later that night, the manager of Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt, told AP that the babies had not been born.

The show said in a statement Wednesday that it first learned of an impostor from a letter from Jolie’s attorney Monday — three days after the broadcast.

“‘Entertainment Tonight’ takes this very seriously and is, of course, concerned that the show may have been victimized by someone allegedly posing as a member of Ms. Jolie’s team,” the statement said. “We are actively investigating the matter and are reaching out to law enforcement agencies.”

The show has not mentioned the story on the air since the initial report, and the story has been deleted from its Web site.

The 27-year-old program is the top-rated entertainment newsmagazine on television, with an average nightly audience of 6.6 million viewers, more than double any competitors. The twins, who Jolie says are due in August, are one of the biggest stories of the year in celebrity journalism, with their first photographs expected to fetch at least $10 million. (The first pictures of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt reportedly fetched a $4 million donation to charity from People magazine.)

The mystery of who was sending the e-mail fit perfectly into the world of celebrity gossip, in which rumor and thirdhand sources coalesce into “facts” at the speed of the Internet. Even before the “Entertainment Tonight” report, there were international rumors of the twins’ birth, possibly started by an OK! magazine story that did not report the babies were born, but speculated on possible names.

According to an “ET” executive, the report of the twins’ birth began with Sharlette Hambrick, an “ET” producer. Hambrick told the show that she had obtained a BlackBerry e-mail address for Goline from a contact at CNN, according to the executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information.

According to e-mails provided to AP by the show, Hambrick sent a message to the BlackBerry address asking for confirmation of “reports swirling” that Jolie had given birth.

The reply came back: “Yes she did. I was actually in the room with her. They are doing fine and so is mom.”

Goline has never had a BlackBerry e-mail account, one of the people with knowledge of the exchange said. Hambrick referred a call from The Associated Press to the show’s public relations representative.

Shortly after “Entertainment Tonight” posted the story, Hambrick called the real Goline seeking more details, and Goline told her verbally and through text messages that Hambrick had been dealing with an impostor, the people with knowledge of the exchange said.

E-mails obtained by AP show that Hambrick sent a message to Goline’s real e-mail address showing the exchange with the impostor, asking “Are you saying this is now not your e-mail address? That you did not send me these e-mails?”

Goline responded: “This is not my e-mail.”

The hottest ginger to ever battle aliens and save the human race is knocked-up with child.  People Magazine announced 39-year-old X-Files star Gillian Anderson is expecting her third child.  This will be her second with boyfriend Mark Griffiths.

With the exception of Jessica Rabbit, gingers have never really gotten my panties moist.  And then there’s Gillian.  The X-Files will always remain one of my favorite shows, if only because I was always on the edge of my seat waiting, longing, for Agent Mulder and Scully to finally f^ck their effing brains out.

The movie sequel “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” hits theatres July 25.

Papa Joe whored out Jessica Simpson yet again.

According to TMZ, People Magazine agreed to pay $1.4 million for photos of Ashlee Simpson’s wedding but only if Jessica and Tony Romo were there.  Hence, Tony showing up despite their split a mere days before.

I have yet to see the wedding photos, but I’ll bet my virginity Pete has got on more make up than Ashlee and Jessica combined.

Below, the knocked-up couple out and about in NYC over the weekend.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s wedding pictures are in the new issue of People magazine (in case you need some actual proof, cuz just like me, you still can’t believe they got married).

The two secretly wed on April 30 at her home in the Bahamas.

Mimi told the mag that she feels Nick is her “soulmate.” Nick said, “I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me. She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside.” Nick appears in Mariah’s new music video for her latest single ‘Bye Bye‘ –he plays an ex boyfriend that Mariah is reminiscing about. The couple looks weird to me. What do you think?
