KEY POINTS:

Yet more confirmation that Britney's lil' sis' Jamie Lynn and sperm donor Casey Aldridge are no longer loved up. This just in from Life & Style Magazine:
"Jamie Lynn and Casey are NOT together. They've broken up numerous times, but he was her first and she kept taking him
back," says the insider.
"They're not dating now. He's really got nothing to offer this baby. He's a kid himself. They have no plans to get married."
"At this point, Jamie Lynn has asked her mom - and not Casey - to be in the delivery room with her."
A rep for Jamie Lynn was not immediately available for comment.
More goss on Jamie Lynn's baby dramas later in this post...
Britney's babies to be drug-tested
Britney's ex, K-Fed, has long spoken about his fears that Brit Brit has their kids hooked on junk food and sugar. Well, the pop wreck is now accusing Kevin of exposing the kiddies to something far less wholesome: marijuana.
A source tells In Touch: "Britney believes Kevin's been smoking pot in front of the kids.
"She says she can smell it in the boys' hair and on their clothes when she has her visitation with them."
Britney is said to be out of her mind with worry about the damage the drug exposure could be doing to her kids, so she's planning to have them drug-tested.
Now that's ironic.
"She's asked the court-appointed monitor and her lawyers if they can prove the kids have been exposed to environments in which drugs have been taken," the source says.
So, armed with a nifty pair of scissors, Brit Brit plans to snip off a few strands of their hair and whip them off to a lab to be analyzed by men in white coats and huge foreheads.
Brit Brit's legal team is poised to call an emergency hearing if the drug tests come back positive.
My oh my, could this saga be any dirtier? Yes it can...
Have a look at this classic picture of Britney looking, well, a little worse for wear.
She looks like crap. What happened? Was this the candid moment someone whispered in her ear and told her that her little sis was in the pudding club?
In other news...
Yes, believe it or not, there is a world beyond the Spears' trailer park.
Mamma mia!
Oh, Nicole Kidman must be devastated with the news that her kids are calling Katie Holmes "Mom"!
In an interview with Parade magazine, Holmes states that Tom's two sprogs, Connor and Isabel, "are incredible, really smart and kind. They call me 'Mom'".
Ouch.
Is Nicole bovvered, though? Is hers a face that cares?
Probably not. Isabel who?
If it came to a handbags-at-dawn-type showdown, you just know that ice queen Kidman would bitchslap Tom's trophy wife to oblivion.
Let the battle commence...
And I'm going straight to hell, obviously...for inciting violence, if nothing else.
What can I say: I bitch, and therefore I am.
C-section
Christina Aguilera is reportedly TPTP (Too Posh To Push) - she's booked herself in for a Caesarian section for January 10.
A source close to the Dirrty singer reveals that the star decided to opt for the operation so she can avoid the pain of a natural childbirth.
A source close to the star said: "Christina has a C-section scheduled for January 10 but she might need to push the date of the delivery up."

Oh baby, baby. More gruesome details are emerging about 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spear's shock pregnancy.
Rumours are now emerging that Jamie Lynn and long-term partner Casey Aldridge might have split up.
Papa don't split!
The Sun reports that Casey's MySpace page has the following message on it:
"Me and Jamie are over..." and that he's set his mood to "Blah".
However, the screen grab the newspaper has published might well be fake - his age is noted as 17, which is two years younger than noted in the six-page OK! Magazine article.
Click here to see what appears to be Casey's MySpace page.
TMZ has also unearthed some juicy details about how the teen baby machine's exclusive interview with OK! Magazine came about.
Here come the factoids:
Britney's mother, Lynne, was the one who masterminded the magazine deal. The model mother apparently called the magazine peeps herself when she found out that news of Jamie's pregnancy was about to break.
Jamie Lynn did not get paid up front by OK! Magazine for the bombshell interview; nor did she ask for money.
However, OK! has agreed to pay US$1 million for a photo shoot when the sprog is born. The relatively low figure (in comparison to what major celebs would scoop), is down to Jamie Lynn's relatively incognito status.
Lynne's only prerequisite was that Britney be kept out of the picture completely. This is Jamie's movie, not Brit Brit's.
A source tells TMZ: "She trusted them to do it in a way that would be sympathetic to her daughter."
Jamie Lynn is supposedly lying about how far gone she is. Word has it that she's way beyond the 12 week mark. I can't get my mitts on any recent pictures of Jamie Lynn, so it's anyone's guess just how long she's got to go before she pops.
Big sis Britney is said to be "frantic" at hearing the news, and will most likely spit the dummy when she hears that her ex hubby was told the happy news before her.
Check out this vid of Britney yesterday denying her sister is pregnant.
A source tells NY Post: "Britney didn't know that Jamie Lynn is pregnant.
"In fact, Britney's mom Lynne, told Kevin about it on Monday because Lynne wanted Kevin to be prepared."
"We're waiting for the fallout from Britney. Kevin is sure Britney will flip out and blame her mom and dad."
A Britney friend added: "This is going to kill her. In the end, she'll be supportive, but this is a big shock."
Meanwhile, mother Lynne was all set to release a book about parenting and her struggle to bring up two celebrity daughters, but as you can imagine, the book has been put on hold "indefinitely".
The book's publishers had this to say: "We have postponed the book indefinitely," said Lindsey Nobles, spokeswoman for Tennessee-based Thomas Nelson.
No shit.
Jamie Lynn's father, Jamie, is reportedly "devastated" over his daughter's pregnancy.
Big papa Spears is said to be gunning for Jamie Lynn and her mother for selling the pregnancy exclusive to Ok! Magazine.
A source close to the family tells Usmagazine.com, "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children. Lynne didn't care."
The father maintains that he believes Jamie Lynn has "ruined her life" by becoming pregnant at such a tender age.
But the biggest punch line of all has to be Jamie Lynn's insistence that she will raise the baby in Louisiana "so it can have a normal life."
You've got to be kidding me? Spears + baby do not a normal make.
That poor child will no doubt be brainless, toothless and dragging it's knuckles along Hollywood Boulevard before it's reached puberty.
Doomed!
Anyone else have something to say?
Now Jamie's Lynn's make-up man is getting in on the act too.
Pagesix.com has spoken to make-up artist Michael Johnson, who has worked with the pregnant teen throughout her career.
On Jamie Lynn's shock pregnancy, he said: "When things like this happen they certainly end up as blessings."
Johnson also thinks highly of the baby's father, Casey, and is of the opinion that the pair could well end up going to the chapel to get wed.
Erm, you might want to check out daddyo's MySpace page, mate.
"Casey is a good man, I know that he loves her very much," said Johnson.
On the subject of motherhood, Johnson thinks Jamie Lynn will make a good mother.
Meanwhile, Jamie Lynne's aunt says she thinks her niece may have gotten knocked up on purpose, to divert media attention to her, instead of sister Britney.
Chanda McGovern says in an interview with Pagesix.com: "I believe Jamie Lynn is entirely too young to be sexually active. She's got her whole life ahead of her, she's just a baby herself and 16 is entirely too young to be sexually active."
