Yesterday afternoon we brought you, courtesy of our greasemonkey brother, Jalopnik, word that Britney hadn't really screwed up (this time). Sony BMG put out a press release, as Jalopnik reported, noting that "rear-facing seats are only required if the infant is not more than 20 lbs. Britney's son Sean weighs over 20 lbs." A case of tabloid overreach, it seemed. But then — hold on, Skippy.
Page Six reports today that omnipresent publicist Lizzie Grubman and her new husband Chris Stern are expecting their first child. The two were married not two months ago and recently returned from their honeymoon in Paris, but Lizzie's a multitasker and a busy lady. When it comes to matters of her womb, there's no time to waste.
Shock, awe: In an unannounced appearance yesterday, Britney Spears confirmed her pregnancy to David Letterman (only marginally better than a press conference). This finally and thankfully puts an end to rampant speculation that she was simply fat.
As blogger Miss Modernage astutely notices, British actress-cum-photog Amanda de Cadenet, who's "very much married" (though not officially) to Stroke guitarist Nick Valensi, has dropped a disturbing piece of information on her website's message board:
While we suffer through sleepless nights waiting for Angelina Jolie to bring forth her full-lipped little demon, enjoy the above video, which has images of Barron and Moses from the forthcoming People. Pause the footage, stare at the famous bundles of joy, and use a condom.
The image at right is not, of course, of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bringing home the world's sexiest baby. Instead, the disturbing image is from New York's cover story about the paparazzi scramble to score a photo of the forthcoming baby "that Jen wouldn't give Brad" (yes, a celebrity weekly editor actually said that).
New York magazine's mating columnist Amy Sohn — who's been on the world's longest maternity leave — is apparently gearing up for her return. We suspect that the new mom will be writing about issues near and dear to her heart, judging from the following email she's sent around:
• Finally, the first not-squishy photos of little Violet Garner-Affleck have emerged. Aw, how cute — it's baby's first real invasion of privacy. Welcome to the world, little one! [The Cooler]
• Katie Holmes receives her 6-foot cue cards reminding her to not make a noise while her forthcoming baby rips through her vagina and out into the world. [Sun UK]
• BlackBook goes to SXSW with a whole roster of questions pulled from vintage copies of Tiger Beat. The result? Lots of uncomfortable indie boys. [BlackBook]
• Mr. Belding, just because we can. [The Apiary]
• We've received a press release announcing that houseboy Kevin Federline has finally come up with a title for his debut album: Playing With Fire. It's OK to get a little excited — we won't tell.
• Joseph Gordon Levitt attempts to understand the paparazzi, bless his little heart. [You Tube]
