Two-fer...friday?

I'm back in the same day! Holy cow!

I came on because I wanted to talk about what's going on in the media that has me laughing my butt off, etc.

The first thing is I want to talk about my new CD that I got for Christmas and how aaawwweeeesome it is. It's the new Alicia Keys CD called "As I Am" and it is crazy awesome. I can't get over it. The intro to the CD is FIERCE. It's a classical piece and it's just the piano, then about a minute or two into it a whole rock band kicks in, so it's like a symphony but cooler. It's some well-known classical song, but that's not my field of expertise. My favorite songs on there so far are "Lies, Lies, Lies" (the first track), "No One" (numero tres), and Lessons Learned featuring John Mayer (numero... cinco? I don't remember).

Secondly, I know this has been harped on and harped on for the past like, week, but I have to weigh in as well (even though nobody's even reading this, I'm sure)... Jamie Lynn Spears is such a hooker, and everybody's kind of acting like it's perfectly normal. Maybe it's because of the fact that there's such a celebrity baby boom going on right now that the general public is used to pregnancy rumors, announcements, bump-sightings, etc. The bottom line is this: a girl being pregnant at 16 is not a good thing. It doesn't matter if she's a star, or if she's never left her hometown of Smalltown, USA. The most disturbing part of the whole situation is the fact that there are rumors circulating now that the baby isn't Casey Aldridge's, that he's being paid off to take the blame even though he and JL have allegedly been broken up for several months. Who are they saying is really the babydaddy? A Nickolodeon Executive directly responsible for JL's show. I don't think I have to point out the problem here. What I think we're seeing here is the result to an underlying problem that JL's family needs to address now in order to prevent her from becoming Britney, Jr. There has been hinting that JL dated Casey when she went through her "wild period". No doubt, there are kids out there that go through a rebellious stage. But at 16, still presumably under her mother's roof, this really shouldn't be happening. I don't think this situation is rehab-worthy, but it will progress to that in a short amount of time if they don't watch her close and guide her in making better decisions.
