Lately it seems that you simply cannot avoid Britney Spears. She’s on the cover of every trashy magazine at the grocery store checkout, her latest “endeavors” are constantly being discussed on every radio talk show- VH1 is even airing tell-all specials such as “Britney’s Secret Childhood.” However, the other day I saw the […]

So imagine my shock and utter disbelief this evening when I read on People.com that Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney’s little 16-year-old sister was pregnant.

It is certainly a sad day in the world of publishing. USA Today has reported that O.J. Simpson’s book (I’d call it more of a confession) If I Did It will indeed be published. I’m not sure if everyone remembers, but this was the man who endured a very public trial regarding the slaughter […]

Since I have three sisters and a brother, we get tons of magazines delivered to our house each month. I picked up the latest issue of Seventeen during lunch today and was surprised and very happy at how much the magazine has grown up.
Ashlee Simpson was on the cover, which was a little disheartening, […]
