Spears pregnant. No, the other one.
Britney Spears' sister Jamie-Lynn, the 16-year-old star of a popular Nickelodeon TV show, is pregnant.
More proof that the universe is a strange place. When I was in high school almost everyone I knew was having sex -- but I didn't know anyone who got pregnant. Because between condoms and birth control pills, they cannily avoided it. And they were none of them millionaires.
This could be the beginnings of a good argument that money does actually make you stupid. When you have as much money as Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan but you drive drunk rather than have a driver take you around town in one of any number of luxury cars or limousines at your disposal, when you're crafty enough to be an essential cog in an adolescent television and marketing juggernaut but can't summon the sexual intelligence of the average small town teen who says to her doctor: "Is procreation right for me...?" --- then I think there are serious cash/IQ questions to be asked.
Kicker: Jamie and her babydaddy met...wait for it...at church.
Call everybody in the non-abstinence-only sex ed class I had godless heathens, but we all learned how to use a condom.
UPDATE:
"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Jamie Lynn told OK!, according to the Associated Press. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."
Somebody sit these kids down for a birds and bees talk...
