Jamie Lynn Spears
Gossip

Look out, Hayden Panettiere: Jamie Lynn Spears is coming after your title of the Hollywood's Most Ambitious Anti-Cougar.

In its current issue, Star Magazine reports that Britney's 18-year old sister has moved on from her baby's daddy, Casey Aldridge, and into the arms of a 28-year old named James Watson.

He owns a company called Advanced Multimedia Partners and "installs communications equipment and high-definition TVs for large corporations," a source says, adding: "James enjoys making money  - and enjoys spending it, too."

NO LONGER OK: Despite the presence of a camera, fresh muffins and a newly-brewed pot of coffee in their kitchen, Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge somehow did not make it as a couple.

The couple started dating in December, which doesn't come as a surprise to those that know Jamie Lynn.

"Even when she was pregnant, she didn't really see a future with [Casey]," a friend said. "She only gave the impression of staying with him so long because it looked better in the eyes of the public."

That seems morally wrong, doesn't it? That's not the sort of thing Sarah Palin would ever force her own knocked up daughter to do because... oh, wait. Nevermind.

In yet another insane Facebook rant, Courtney Love derided her estranged, teenage daughter Frances Bean Cobain with a cheap shot at Jamie Lynn Spears.

Yes, we're serious.

After slamming her 17-year-old daughter as "deceptive" earlier this week, Love ranted late Wednesday afternoon that she's not upset with Frances Bean.

"id just prefer she not become Jaimie [sic] L Spears," Love wrote, referring to Britney Spears' little sister, who had a daughter, Maddie Briann, at age 17.

So uncalled for. So nonsensical. So hilarious.

Love continues her advice to Frances: "she should be a writer or an a... artist wich i support 100% but this is a circus it pains me cos i know she hates it."

We're loving it, at least.

In case you missed it, Frances Bean Cobain is now under temporary guardianship of her aunt and paternal grandmother, Kurt Cobain's mom and sister.

The Cobains won't say why Courtney Love lost custody, but the rocker has been Facebooking like a madwoman ever since, lambasting her only child.

This isn't the first time the Spears clan has been involved, either.

For some reason, Love recently took aim at Britney and her dad Jamie Spears, writing that "britneys dad molested her" in a November 25 Facebook post.

We don't get it either.

What we do know is Facebook is Love's only mode of reaching out to Frances after a judge issued a restraining order against her, barring any contact.

"There's not a whole lot i can do about it," Love wrote, referring to Cobain's relatives, who she implied are responsible for Kurt's death in a prior post:

"This is a hand grenade thrown into our lives and it's not Frances!"

She later added: "im despairing and so sad, so sad, but i just want to her be happy, get her house and get her school and thats all ive ever wanted."

With all she's been through lately - giving birth to daughter Maddie Briann and nursing baby daddy Casey Aldridge back to health after his serious car crash - it's nice to see Jamie Lynn Spears enjoying herself just like any other unwed teen mother:

Getting her drink on!

The younger sister of Britney Spears partied the weekend before last - along with her recovering quasi-fiance - at a club called The Buzz in Hammond, La.

As you can see, Jamie Lynn was having a blast, offering a classic single-finger salute when a fellow club-goer saw that she and Casey were in da house:

Despite welcoming their first child almost a year ago now (June 19), life isn't all about changing diapers for wild and crazy lovers Jamie Lynn, 18, and Casey, 20.

Is it a big deal that Jamie Lynn and Casey were drinking? No. Do we care? No. But it's still funny, and likely how Maddie Briann was made. Just saying.

The Buzz is an 18 & over club and, when asked, the VIP manager somehow said he didn't even know Jamie Lynn Spears was ever there that night.

Good cover story, VIP manager. Plausible deniability.

Whoever imagined Jordan Miller, who started a Britney Spears fan site while a high school sophomore in 2004, would one day receive half a million visits a day?

Whoever imagined Miller, now a typical college student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, would be threatened with legal action by her dad, Jamie Spears?

Miller's world was turned upside-down last fall after he received an angry phone call from the pop star's father-guardian, accusing him of copyright violations.

"I'm working my ass off to report on this girl," Miller said.

In February 2008, after Britney Spears was forced into a treatment program for bipolar disorder, Jamie Spears was awarded conservatorship, giving him the authority to make legal, financial and medical decisions on behalf of his daughter.

Miller posted several blogs begging for Britney to be "freed."

One fan site creator's opinions on Britney and posting of stories about Jamie Lynn Spears apparently have not gone over well with the stars' father and chief handler.

He also posted about a magazine story that suggested Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, was expecting her second child. Then his cell phone rang.

Miller said Jamie Spears told him, "I am going to destroy your ass."

"I was really freaking out for a good three or four weeks," Miller said. "Lately, I've been doing my own thing. I just kind of want to keep it going."

Each day, Miller scans the Internet for stories about Britney Spears, posts them on his site, BreatheHeavy.com, and adds his own comments. He encourages her fans to send him Circus tour photos or updates regarding her.

Miller said the site keeps him busy, but it is not as demanding now as it was when the troubled, out-of-control singer was shaving her head, bashing vehicles with an umbrella, being photographed without no underwear, and so on.

We love year-end lists, in case you couldn't tell.

In the past couple of weeks, we have unveiled ABC's most fascinating person of 2008 (Barack Obama), the most searched-for term of 2008 (Britney Spears) and have been unveiling our personal list of Celebrity of the Year finalists.

Today, it's another most-searched for list - but only celebrities 21 or younger! Which youngster do you think was the most searched-for online this year?

HINT: It's one of these peeps:

Any guesses? Follow the jump to find out who was searched for by Internets users more than any other celeb under 21 - and for the whole top 10 list ...

Today is Christmas, but for many of the stars we know and love, the best present ever came earlier this year. We are talking, of course, about celebrity babies!

Here's a delightful photo sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Check out this poignant moment with Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and their daughter, Honor ...

Jessica and Cash are just two of the new parents of 2008, of course.

Jamie Lynn Spears became America's hottest unwed teen mom when she welcomed little Maddie Briann (below, left). Bristol Palin may compete for that title, but hasn't given birth quite yet - though Sarah Palin welcomed baby Trig in April!

Elsewhere, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves pooled their remarkable genes and created Levi, while many big stars, such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie and Nicole Kidman, became first-time mothers.

As 2008 winds down, it's time to reflect upon those - from household names to relative unknowns, from A- to D-list - who made this year so memorable.

The Hollywood Gossip is unveiling 10 finalists for its 2nd Annual Celebrity of the Year award. They've given us their best, their worst, even their nude pictures in some cases. Now it is time for us to give something back with this moving tribute.

We previously profiled the incomparable cast of High School Musical. Today, we present Celebrity of the Year finalist #4 … Jamie Lynn Spears!

In 2007, Britney Spears was our Celebrity of the Year in the most lopsided race ever. But under the care of papa Jamie, she's had a relatively low-key 2008. Fortunately, little sister Jamie Lynn was there to carry on the Spears train wreck tradition!

Jamie Lynn and then-unborn Maddie Briann share a moment.

Desperate to follow the lead of her sibling and start makin' babies early, Jamie Lynn one-upped Britney (and most females) by getting knocked up at age 16. The proud papa? Boyfriend Casey Aldridge, 18, who then became her fiance.

Despite being thrust into the spotlight even faster and harder than she let Casey inside her, Jamie Lynn Spears persevered, battled back, made no excuses, and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Maddie Briann Aldridge on June 19.

Since then, she's been doing well, despite rumors of a second pregnancy and of Casey railing girls all over Southern Mississippi, mom Lynne selling her out in a lame memoir, and some stalker taking pics of her breastfeeding Maddie. Creeps.

Way to go, Jamie Lynn Spears. Here's hoping your 2009 is filled with joy... and perhaps baby #2. Here's a photo tribute to her we put together. Click to enlarge the pictures - including some classic celeb gossip magazine covers!

Lynne Spears feels she is to blame for her daughter Britney Spears' public meltdown last year - although that hasn't stopped her from trying to cash in!

At one point, Lynne debated accurately titling her autobiography It's All My Fault. In the end, she went with the vague, melodramatic Through the Storm.

"I can laugh about it now, but did I feel that way at the time? Yes, I did and, if I'm being totally honest, I still do," she told the UK's Daily Mail.

"When her life was such a success, what did she need me for? And when things took a turn for the worse, I was out, because other people - dancers, managers - were closer, and with her day and night. Being a mother, you can't help but have regrets about what you did and didn't do for your kids, and I'm no different."

Lynne Spears reflects on her greatest parenting achievements.

Ever since the National Enquirer reported it, celebrity gossip blogs have been abuzz over a family insider “confirming” Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant again.

There are also rumors that Casey Aldridge can't keep it in his pants - electing to repeatedly rail Kelli Dawson and Whitney Seals. But that's beside the point.

Anyway, “Diane,” a friend pictured with Jamie Lynn at Wal-Mart lately, is now speaking out, claiming Jamie Lynn is not knocked up with baby #2. She says:

I am the friend with Jamie Lynn Spears in these pictures and I was also the friend in the pictures that said we were leaving the crisis pregnancy center several months ago (when in all actuality we were leaving her OB-GYN who happens to have a sign in front of the office supporting the crisis pregnancy center).

Jamie Lynn is NOT pregnant and I wish everyone would stop being judgemental [sic]. If you weren’t having sex at 16 it probably means you were very unattractive. She just happened to get pregnant and did the right thing by not having an abortion. She is an exceptional mother and loves that baby with every fiber of her being.

As the paprazzi [sic] chased us through the store as we humbly tried to buy groceries for our families, she was not one bit worried about them getting pictures of her or what anyone would say about her, but she did not want them to exploit her child anymore than they already have. This girl has been through enough.

Please show a little compassion and back off. There was nothing exciting about our trip to wal mart, yet we were followed the entire time by 3 photographers. Stop supporting these idiots and make them get real jobs. Before you judge anyone else, I beg you to please try to imagine yourself in their situation.

Well, that about sums it up. Sorry, virginal teens. Guess you're ugly and no one wants to make the sex with you. Jamie Lynn, on the other hand, is the sister of Britney Spears, so her panties have been around her ankles 24-7. Inevitable.

This has a Rielle Hunter-like feel to it.

Despite several denials, the National Enquirer continues to ride this story harder than Casey Aldridge does Jamie Lynn Spears, insisting that America's favorite 17-year-old unwed mom is indeed pregnant for the second time in under a year.

The Enquirer reported last week that Casey got Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant again. After some public denials from the Spears camp, the story fizzled.

But this weekend, the venerable celebrity gossip tabloid has run it back with installment #2, claiming not only that Jamie Lynn is pregnant, but had kept a secret and Casey Aldridge only learned about it through the subsequent media reports.

A close family member has supposedly revealed, anonymously of course, that the Spears family is up in arms. The denials are simply buying time, the source says.

“Jamie Lynn’s mom is furious about the pregnancy,” the family member told the Enquirer. “And she’s livid the news leaked out, especially during her book tour."
