Miley Cyrus appears to be the opposite of Jamie Lynn Spears. Talented. Innocent. Lacking an insane, older sister.

But the singer who portrays Hannah Montana has nothing but good things to say about the knocked up sibling of Britney Spears.

"We've actually been talking," Cyrus said.

"She's now really excited, so I'm proud of her."

Miley Cyrus and Jamie Lynn Spears: Friends forever!

As for pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears' impending baby with Casey Aldridge, Miley says her pal has "done the best she can."

We're not sure what that means. We guess it's true that Spears hasn't fallen down any stairs and caused a miscarriage.

Whether it's a stay in the hospital where you actually receive care (Britney Spears), an 8:30 a.m. drunken joyride (Barron Hilton) or a week in Hawaii filled with a nude Katharine McPhee (Nick Cokas), all good things must come to an end.

Here, the former American Idol runner-up and her husband return from their week in paradise. Katharine may have just been released by her record label, and dissed by Simon Cowell, but we trust she's in good hands with Nick Cokas...

Days until Nick Cokas gets Katharine McPhee pregnant? We have no idea, but start the countdown now. The girl has babies on the brain. It won't take that long!

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears took some time out from taking her l'il dog to the vet's, throwing a Super Bowl party and getting her GED in Kentwood, La., to attend to more important matters... at AutoZone and J.C. Penney.

Yup, the 16-year-old mother-to-be and her 18-year-old baby daddy, Casey Aldridge, are living the high life down South. Ding dang, y'all!

If Casey Aldridge hadn't gotten his piston lubed up in JL's undercarriage, we may never have known about this trip to AutoZone. Think about that.

A baggy t-shirt hiding her baby bump, Jamie Lynn Spears proceeded to ignore every question thrown at her and her boyfriend. Probably smart.

The apple doesn't fall far from the irresponsible, law-breaking tree in the Hilton family.

A few months after Paris Hilton was popped for drunk driving, her 18-year-old brother Barron Hilton has been arrested for the same crime. He was pulled over for DUI in Malibu... at 8:30 a.m. today. He must have had a lot of mimosas!

Police told TMZ that Barron was driving a black Mercedes on Pacific Coast Highway with a passenger when he was pulled over at a 76 gas station. His blood-alcohol content was .14, twice the legal limit.

Moreover, Barron allegedly struck a garage worker at the gas station. Fernando Pellez was not seriously hurt when Barron's black Mercedes bowled into him between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m., but he insisted on calling the cops.

"I was knocked to the ground," Pellez said. "The Mercedes lost control as it was turning into the gas station and Barron got out of the car and he was totally drunk and couldn't walk straight."

The younger Hilton was booked at the Lost Hills Sheriff's station, the same place Mel Gibson was taken. No cops were referred to as "sugar tits" this time, however.

Britney Spears' recently rekindled interest in dancing isn't entirely based on boredom or her love of little kids, the New York Post reports.

The buzz at the Grammy Awards (which she skipped) was that Spears' newfound focus on her dancing is preparation for an upcoming world tour.

Britney "will be leaving the country in the next few weeks," a source told the Post. "She'll train in privacy for a month, then go on a global tour."

Would you pay to go see this in concert? Not us. Well, maybe we would ... if it were some kind of comedy tour in which her various personalities did standup.

In other Britney Spears news (and we use that term loosely), paparazzi who follow Britney Spears have been infiltrated by gang members - specifically, notorious L.A. groups the Crips and the Bloods, the New York Daily News reports.

Celebrity photo agency execs claim "rival agencies are arming thugs with cameras and sending them out to do battle with dozens of paparazzi" who hound the train wreck in search of the best Britney Spears photos.

Veteran paparazzo Nick Stern, who quit Splash News this month, said: "I've heard stories of fights, car tires being slashed, cars being blocked in."

All agency heads interviewed said they do not hire street toughs.

"They may dress like gang members with large pants and tattoos, but to say they're gang members right now? Well, real gang members are not into Britney Spears," said Frank Navarre, a Frenchman who owns celebrity photo mainstay X17.

"[Spears] attracts huge numbers of photographers, and whoever muscles their way to the front gets the best picture. They're not AP photographers in flak jackets, but that's not to say they're thugs, either," said Chris Doherty, owner of INF.

Why the heck would real gang members would possibly throw themselves into the celeb news fray? How about cash. Spears' own boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, works for Finalpixx, and has been reportedly made $200,000 a year covering Spears.

Things may be safer now that the singer is under psychiatric care and Jamie Spears has his daughter's vehicles garaged. But the troubled Britney continues to be the top story in the celebrity gossip world, day after day after day.

"I cannot say she's boring, no," Navarre said. "She's been pretty good at renewing herself. She doesn't accept any authority, or any boundaries. To some people, that looks crazy. She's stronger than you think."

The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition comes out this week.

As usual, the issue is sure to stir up debate among those who think this publication should be reserved for athletes... and those who cannot lift their jaw up off the floor due to a series of Bar Refaeli bikini photos.

Instead of choosing sides, we're simply gonna publish a few images from the issue. You can decide if they're worth getting irked about. For starters, here is this year's cover girl, Marisa Miller, looking beautiful and almost naked:

Meanwhile, Danica Patrick is also barely wearing a bathing suit in this picture. But the race car driver is still wearing more layers (one) than she has wins on the IndyCar circuit (zero):

Lastly, Heidi Klum backs down Will Ferrell in this semi-promotional ad for the actor's new movie, Semi-Pro. We really should have become comedians instead of celebrity gossip mavens:

Will Ali Lohan soon be moving in on Zac Efron?

Don't worry, Vanessa Hudgens fans, we're solely talking about the fictional realm of High School Musical 3.

According to Marc Malkin of E! News, the younger sister of Lindsay Lohan might play a role in the third installment of the wildly popular High School Musical franchise.

All we know at the moment is that Ali would portray a spoiled student in the mold of Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Her rep confirmed almost as much, saying: "She is auditioning for it."

So, what do you think? Would Ali Lohan make a good addition to the cast of High School Musical?

After dominating the Grammys (winning five!) on Sunday, Amy Winehouse is back "on the road to recovery," says her mom, Janis Winehouse.

"Well, it's Amy coming back, she's definitely on the way back," Janis said in a new interview with Britain's GMTV.

Winehouse, 24, delivered a polished performance via satellite at Sunday's show -- proof that she has already cleaned up her act a bit.

"As you saw, she looks good and it's a case of she's on the road - and that's what it's about - she's on the road to recovery," Janis said.

A rep for Winehouse said the Back to Black singer "is an outpatient and she is under medical supervision and the treatment continues."

Amy Winehouse stole the show - even via satellite - at the Grammys.

The troubled R&B / soul sensation went to rehab last month after Britain's The Sun released a video of her apparently smoking crack out of a pipe.

Her spiral into oblivion can be tied to Blake Fielder-Civil - her husband of about a year, and who she visited in jail yesterday. We hope he's doin' well.

While Amy's mini-comeback and haul of trophies were the talk of the Grammys along with Kanye West's performance, one past winner wasn't thrilled.

Natalie Cole, who hasn't been big since, oh, 1991, blasted the Grammy Awards for honoring the "Rehab" singer, claiming Amy doesn't deserve her wins as "it sends the wrong message" to award a musician "in the midst of her stupor of drugs."

First, Amy is at least trying to clean up.

Second, this is music, Natalie. We love Carrie Underwood to pieces, but she might be the only good girl in the entire industry. You want to bar everyone else? An award show in which she wins 87 of them might get a bit tedious.

Reportedly, Patrick Aufdenkamp isn't just a bad influence on kindergarten students learning to spell.

Those close to Lindsay Lohan claim this old friend is endangering her sobriety, often putting the Firecrotch Queen in situations that involve alcohol and drugs.

TMZ reports that Aufdenkamp is somehow not sleeping with Lohan, but he may be putting the progress she's made in serious jeopardy.

"He has nothing to offer her," a source said, "and he looks at Lindsay as his meal ticket."

Patrick Aufdenkamp: Weird name, dangerous companion of Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay's rep had no comment on the matter, but Lohan has supposedly been warned numerous times about Patrick Aufdenkamp. But she was probably too busy straddling random Italian dudes to listen.

Hey, when you're crazy and can't see Sean Preston and Jayden James, you might as well do the next best thing. Teach other kids to dance!

It's a slow celebrity news morning.

Yes, Britney Spears was teaching dance to children not much older than her own boys on Monday at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood.

Those kids' parents? Probably not aware of who the "instructor" was when they dropped the little tykes off. And probably not thrilled now.

In all seriousness, though, the dance studio is a great place for her to be. Brit needs to stay as far away from Sam Lutfi as humanly possible.

The pop star, who skipped the Grammys, introduced herself to each of the students - five-year-olds - and shooks their hands, a source said.

"She comes in, she winds them up, and then tells them, ‘I guess I have to introduce myself to you guys!'" said Robert Baker, Millennium co-owner.

Britney Spears reportedly looked happy and upbeat.

Madonna's "Material Girl" and "True Blue" were on her playlist. Britney led the class in "her favorite brown cowboy boots, fishnet stockings, a red short skirt, and a bluish greenish top that hangs down past her skirt."

A remarkably stable Britney Spears recently taught dance to some kids.

"She worked out this great little routine for them, they were dancing all over the place, she had them dancing in a circle like a choo-choo train."

"The kids loved it - they are having a ball right now. And Britney - she's just drinking it up. She's totally enjoying herself."

Fortunately, none of the kids were locked in a bathroom with a ballistic Britney Spears for several hours, and all left with smiles on their faces.

Spears last saw her sons January 3 when she was rushed to the hospital for a psychological evaluation. Her visitation rights were then suspended.

Less than a month later, Britney Spears was involuntarily committed to UCLA Medical Center for treatment of bipolar disorder.

We reported that last weekend, Kevin Federline was willing to allow Britney to see Sean Preston and Jayden James under the supervision of her mother, Lynne Spears, but it does not look as if this actually materialized.
