Britney Spears has been all over the cover of magazines for her break-down recently, but new reports are claiming Jamie Lynn Spears may be pregnant!

The National Enquirer is reportedly alleging that Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, and this rumor comes just weeks after rumors of her moving in with her 19-year-old boyfriend!

GirlsTalkinSmack dishes: ‘Word on the street says she wants to move in with her boyfriend and the two were even spotted house hunting a couple months ago. One big problem though…she’s only 16 years old!’

So is she pregnant? We’ll find out soon, won’t we?

Nicole Richie pleaded guilty Friday to driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to about four days in jail and fined by a court commissioner who said she was lucky nobody was killed when she drove the wrong way on a freeway.

Richie, the 25-year-old daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, was subdued and somber as she was lectured about her driving. She entered court on the arm of boyfriend Joel Madden. Richie, who’s rumored to be pregnant but has not confirmed it, wore a loose-fitting, knee-length black dress and spiked heels. She stood before the judge and softly answered “guilty” when asked how she pleaded to the misdemeanor charge. She initially pleaded not guilty in February.

She nodded when asked if she understood terms of the plea agreement (including 90 hours in jail and a fine of $2,048) worked out between her lawyers and prosecutors. Superior Court Commissioner Steven K. Lubell also gave Richie three years of probation and warned that she would go to county jail for a year if she violates it.

She must complete her sentence by Sept. 28. She can serve it in either a city or a county jail.

With its outlook no longer Rosie, The View is ready to make Whoopi.
The Academy Award-winning funnylady is in final talks with ABC to join the daytime chatfest, replacing the not so dearly departed Rosie O’Donnell. Goldberg had been one of the show’s many guest hosts since O’Donnell’s abrupt exit in May.

The second slot will reportedly be filled by comedian Sherri Shepherd, another frequent post-Rosie guest host. ABC isn’t commenting on her appointment either, but her hiring will likely be announced in concert with Goldberg’s.

Shepherd, 40, is a stand-up comic who has appeared in a number of TV and film roles, including Beauty Shop. Next up for her is a run as Lady G in the comedy Who’s Your Caddy?, which opens today.

Britney Spear’s self-arranged and tell-all interview and photo shoot with OK! Magazine was a disaster. Reportedly, the photos are so bad, that executives at OK! are trying to decide whether to report what actually happened…or perhaps sugar-coat the truth to protect the pop-tart!

According to multiple TMZ sources, Britney’s behavior during the interview was “nothing less than a meltdown.” She was, according to the sources, “completely out of it” during the photo shoot. We hear that the photos are “so bad”, if OK! decides to publish them, it could “kill her career.”

At one point during the shoot the toxic singer’s eyes rolled back in her head and she looked half dead. The sources say that her mood was extremely erratic. According to a source, Britney took many bathroom breaks, and every time she returned, her mood would change. Apparently, she was also very paranoid during the interview, at one point she was fearful that the ceiling was about to cave in on her. This is either a complete melt-down or someone with a bad drug habit…or perhaps both!

Reportedly, the pop-tart also has no ‘home training.’ After eating some chicken, instead of being normal and using a napkin, Britney wiped her hands all over a Gucci dress that she was to wear for the shoot. The dress, worth thousands of dollars was stained with grease and ruined!

If that wasn’t bad enough, TMZ reports that she allowed her dog to poop all over the floor. In defense of poor Britney however, she did clean it up…but used a Chanel dress!

So, you might be wondering how the photos turned out. TMZ reports that OK! hired two of the best hair and makeup artists in L.A. to transform the pop-tart into something more presentable. However, Brit wasn’t having any of that, opting instead to have one of her “skank friends” make her over.
