‘Tis the season to get knocked up!

First was the jaw-dropping shocking news that Jessica Alba was preggers (she didn’t even give the tabloids time to report on rumours, nor print the possible baby bump pic, or even spotting her at some chic LA baby boutique… She jumped all the preliminary steps and went right out and announced it. How selfish!). Brit pop tiny tart Lily Allen is apparently also expecting with her boyfriend of three months, Chemical Brother Ed Simons who’s 14 years her senior. A rep for the Smile singer said in a statement that “the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, [so] the couple ask that you respect their privacy," People magazine reported. "The couple will be making no further comment but they are obviously both thrilled by the news." Now it’s teen time! Britney Spears’s 16-year-old little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, has announced she’s got a bun in her oven. "I can't say it was something I was planning to do right now," Spears told OK! magazine. "But now that it's in my lap and that it's something I have to deal with, I'm looking forward to being the best mom I can be." With her sister’s track record, I can’t imagine it would be that hard to be better. And on a related and not so surprising note, Mommy Spears (aka Lynne Spears) has had her parenting book, which was scheduled to come out on Mother’s Day, delayed indefinitely. What a shock!
