While In Touch continues to trumpet that Britney is pregnant, her baby sis, Jamie Lynn, has come out to OK! Magazine saying she’s the one who’s 3 mos along.

Someone strike up the banjo and get this family on Maury. At least she knows who the baby daddy is, Casey Aldridge. Who? Yeah, it doesn’t matter cause the story is going to be all about Britney’s 16 yr old sister getting knocked up.

I’m glad she’s out about it. It means she won’t have one of those “medical procedures” to remedy the problem.

I’m pro choice. It’s not my place to regulate your body, but as someone who had an unplanned pregnancy and someone who lives with someone who was adopted and as someone who is wanting to adopt, my opinion on abortion has considerably softened.

I’d really like to see more support given to adoption as an option. When Jen was adopted 35 yrs ago, snagging a cute kid was easy. Trying to adopt in BC in 2007 is a little more difficult which is why more and more people are choosing the overseas route, which is expensive.

Congrats Mrs Lynne Spears, you raised some pretty wild and crazy girls - can’t wait to read that book on parenting you’re writing! At least they have the sense to bring their babies into the world. Now, I’d be glad to adopt the little bebe and get him/her out of the tabloid hellstorm your daughters insist on perpetuating.

Remember that joke Sarah Silverman told at the MTV VMA’s? The one about how Britney is 25 and accomplished everything she’s going to accomplish in her life?

Not to throw any pressure on Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or anything, but she’s barely 1 and she’s already hit the top of a Forbes list:

The ‘Most Influential Infants’ in pop culture.

1. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
2. Suri Cruise
3. Zahara Jolie-Pitt
4. Sean Preston Federline
5. Pax Jolie-Pitt
6. Sam Alexis Woods (daughter Tiger Woods)
7. David Banda (son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie)
8. Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead
9. Cruz and Romeo Beckham (tie)

*Ahem*! Where’s Le Grand Monsieur?

So Brian Mulroney is in Ottawa continuing his sombre mea culpa in front of a Commons Committee about what he did and didnt do with Karlheinz Schreiber.

I dont think jail time or charges will follow but can we just pretend that Ben Mulroney is the one that did a whole bunch of things that were a little shady?  Then we could send him off to Majorca in exile!

That would be sooooo cool.

Oh wait, maybe he did.

Just as Tony Parker and Eva Longoria are in damage control about an alleged affair with some topless model, screenshots have popped up of text messages allegedly between Tony Parker and said attention seeker.

tony texts en francais

I like that they’re in french. It adds a little je ne sais quoi to the little tryst.

Je parles francais.

Il y a des pamplemousses dans mes fenetres. Voila un crayon. J’ai faim. Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?

See… it’s all good til that last one. It’s the last one that gets you in trouble. Tony. Allegedly.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon broadcasting from the Safeway at Oak and King Ed for Nat and Drew’s Foodbank FillUp. I had my MacBook, and 4 wireless connections popped up - but I couldnt crack any of them.

For a blogging addict, this was painful. Pain. Full.

So, a day late, not a dollar short, here’s yesterday’s show notes.

- Woot! It’s the word of the year.
- Got some kids that dont know if they believe in Santa or not?  Check out MakeBeliever.com, where you can get a personalized video from Santa sent to them.

- If you always have the kids when you’re shopping and can’t figure out how to get their gifts, try this little trick.

- Pam Anderson and her new husband, Rick Solomon, each starred in pretty popular sex tapes.  It’s no surprise Pam answered “We’re in every night having sex,” when asked about her life as a newlywed.  Get ready for the reality show.  Pam and Rick will be the new Nick and Jessica.

- Dont use your cellphone as a modem.

Close your eyes. I’m going to say a phrase, you say the first thing that pops into your mind. Okay, maybe dont close your eyes, after all, this is a blog.

The phrase: Rock N Roll.

What do you think of? Sex? Drugs? Motley Crue? Bill Haley and the Comets? The Beatles, Rolling Stones, U2

Did you think of Madonna? Probably not. But Madonna has been announced as an inductee into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

Many are announcing this as a “no brainer.” If it was the Music Hall of Fame, or the Hall of Fame of Contemporary Music, sure. Rock N Roll? Nope.

I mean, it’s not like she didnt try. In a recent tour she went all Sid Vicious in a kilt and weilded a mighty axe.

But try as she may, Madonna is not Rock N Roll.A musical icon? Yes. A legend? Yes. An innovator? Yes. Rock n Roll? No.

Change the name of the museum, I get the sentiment - it’s just the title that’s wrong.

I have seen 2 movies in the past 6 months. It’s an effect that is directly proportional to the birth of my son. My mom babysat for us to have a “date night” for the Bourne Identity Ultimatum Supremacy 3 and then a couple weeks ago we saw American Gangster at the Twilight Drive In.

That’s it.

There was a time when I would see 3 or 4 movies a month and I would be fully versed in the pros and cons of each nominee for the Oscars or Golden Globes. This year I haven’t got a clue.

Even with the ability to download movies freely on the internet, I’m still not motivated to go and grab anything and cosy up with my Creative Zen and watch a flick. Nothing interests me.

That said, the Golden Globe nominations were announced today. The nominees are:

MOVIES:

Picture, Drama: “American Gangster,” “Atonement,” “Eastern Promises,” “The Great Debaters,” “Michael Clayton,” “No Country for Old Men,” “There Will Be Blood.”

Picture, Musical or Comedy: “Across the Universe,” “Charlie Wilson’s War,” “Hairspray,” “Juno,” “Sweeney Todd.”

Actress, Musical or Comedy: Amy Adams, “Enchanted”; Nikki Blonsky, “Hairspray”; Helena Bonham Carter, “Sweeney Todd”; Marion Cotillard, “La Vie En Rose”; Ellen Page, “Juno.”

Actor, Musical or Comedy: Johnny Depp, “Sweeney Todd”; Ryan Gosling, “Lars and the Real Girl”; Tom Hanks, “Charlie Wilson’s War”; Philip Seymour Hoffman, “The Savages”; John C. Reilly, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.”

Actor, Drama: Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”; Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”; Hugh Laurie, “House”; Jonathan Rhys Meyers, “The Tudors”; Bill Paxton, “Big Love.”

Series, Musical or Comedy: “30 Rock,” NBC; “Californication,” Showtime; “Entourage,” HBO; “Extras,” HBO; “Pushing Daisies,” ABC.

Actress, Musical or Comedy: Christina Applegate, “Samantha Who?”; America Ferrera, “Ugly Betty”; Tina Fey, “30 Rock”; Anna Friel, “Pushing Daisies”; Mary-Louise Parker, “Weeds.”

Actor, Musical or Comedy: Alec Baldwin, “30 Rock”; Steve Carell, “The Office”; David Duchovny, “Californication”; Ricky Gervais, “Extras”; Lee Pace, “Pushing Daisies.”

I got nothing.

The awards are scheduled for the new year, but the show might be super boring if no stars show up. There’s word the actors will boycott in solidarity with the Writers Strike.

Jessica Alba is pregnant.

This is good news. She’ll actually look human for the next 5 months, instead of the rail thin Hollywood bobblehead look she has right now. Check out what pregnancy has done for Nicole Richie!

Nicole Richie pregnant

Next up is the wedding announcement. They haven’t announced it yet, but you know it’s coming cause that’s what Hollywood does.I don’t know why.Okay, so Luongo let one in, big deal. You love each other, you’re going to be great parents, but just because you got pregnant doesn’t mean you have to get married. Ask Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe etc etc how well that works.

You got pregnant because you were careless, fine. Get married because you’re committed and want to, not because the right wing says you have to.

There hasnt been a decent new Christmas song in almost 10 years.

Not since Britney and Boy Bands ruled the charts in the late 90s. Christmas albums from Britney, NSYNC, Christina Aguilera and others were all released.

Since then Destiny’s Child put out 8 Days of Christmas - meh. Hilary Duff’s Santa Claus Lane? No thanks.

The Barenked Ladies put out a holiday album recently, but the original songs, like Green Christmas are kinda lame. Sarah McLachlan’s Wintersong album is a nice one, it came out last year, but even the single she released, River, was a cover of a Joni Mitchell track.

Yes, there are classics that stand the test of time and Michael Buble’s new album serves up some great versions, so do albums from Chris Isaak, Clay Aiken, Josh Groban etc etc etc.

But it’s the same old holiday hymns recycled by different people.

Did you know there are more than 200 versions of Wham!’s Last Christmas? Hell, a blog about all the versions has even cranked up.

The last great original Christmas song was Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You. Why was that the last great original? Because this week it’s in the top 10. With digital downloads now counting towards chart position, this 15 year old song is #8 this week.

This year Colbie Caillat has a nice new song, Mistletoe, but do you hear it anywhere?

Remember the Hugh Grant flick, About a Boy? He was a rich wayward man living off the royalties of a Christmas song his father wrote.

People - there’s money in Christmas music. When will somebody write a new classic?
