Jamie Lynne To Marry Before Year-End
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Jamie Lynn Spears is on the cover of the current OK! Magazine issue and she’s supposedly racing to the altar. The magazine states that the new mom will be marrying fiance and babydaddy Casey Aldridge before the end of the year. The couple is said to be marrying at Jamie Lynn’s new digs in Liberty, MS, which is just thirty minutes from her mom’s Kentwood, LA home. “She loves everything about the area where she lives. She’s not going to get married at some luxury resort in the Caribbean or a hotel in Beverly Hills,” a friend of JL’s told OK!. “Her own backyard with just the people who matter most is more Jamie Lynn’s style.” Older sis Britney is going to be the maid of honor, of course, and Casey’s sister is said to be one of the bridesmaids. Looks like Brit will be traveling back home South once again in the next few months. Good luck with the wedding plans, Jamie Lynn! Let’s hope she doesn’t turn into a Bridezilla.
The Drama Of It All
Monday, January 28th, 2008The events of the last week have caused us to do a little reflection on ourselves and the nature of our business. By our business, I’m referring to entertainment and gossip reporting. There’s credibility and liability issues involved with every story and picture we post here at JFX. Fortunately, since we deal with our own veteran photographers and proven sources, we do take comfort in the stories we post and stand behind them.
I mention this for a couple reasons. First off, the inaccuracies that surrounded Heath Ledger’s death have been an embarrassment to many news agencies as well as popular gossip blogs. The majority of the gossip blogs that posted inaccurate details on Heath’s death felt no obligation to correct the inaccuracies they had run. But some handled themselves ethically. (Editors note: I just laughed out loud after typing ethically in referring to our business)
TMZ has established themselves as a legitimate news source and we often credit them for many stories we run on JFX. Yet despite their considerably well placed sources and journalistic efforts in attempting to confirm their stories, they inaccurately reported that drugs had been found next to Heath’s body, which was later proven false. To their credit, TMZ did correct the story and even offered the story behind how they were misinformed and the source. Moreover, as TMZ broke the story of Heath’s death, rumors of drugs spread like wild fire over the internet with many sites crediting TMZ. After that, stories of drug laden rolled twenty dollar bills and past drug problems started cropping up on many less than ethical gossip sites. It was difficult to get confirmation, so we here at JFX decided to only run stories that our New York photographers could confirm, which was mainly that Heath had indeed passed away, his body was moved and that his family and daughter had arrived at the apartment.
Why am I babbling on about this you may be asking? Well, we’ve been getting many emails and phone calls about rumored videos of Britney Spears, which are allegedly being shopped around for a whopping $2 million. Many people claiming to have seen the clips and offering details on the videos for us to run on JFX. Perez Hilton originally ran the story crediting New of the World as the source and quoting what seemed like detailed information on the clips. What struck me was that this story was reminiscent of a previous story about how Adnan was trying to sell semi-nude photos of Britney, which later turned out to not exist. Given the track record of the Adnan haterfiers and the conspicuous absence of the story on the worlds most anti-Adnan photo agency blog, it’s rather telling if you read between the lines. My feelings were that the tapes are about as real as the alleged semi-nude pics and the restraining order Britney was rumored to have filed against Adnan. Both, of course, never existed. Adnan’s agency, Final Pixx responded by running a story on their blog stating that the $2 million video story was false and that no such videos exist.
What’s a poor blog editor to do? Well, I dropped a couple dimes and put out a feeler to Adnan, who I have already confessed to having met a couple times in the past but never knew very well. So after spending a few minutes talking to Adnan on the phone, he adamantly denied the existence of the rumored tapes and stated that the details of the clips were “totally fabricated.”
So there are no semi-nude photos or video clips of Britney for sale. Wow. I wonder if Kitsons has Team Adnan and Team Osama shirts printed up yet. I’m going to have some made if not. Which shirt would you rock? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. For everyone who registers and comments, I’ll enter your name in a contest for your very own Team Adnan shirt. Or that other guy if you really choose him. And please people, regulate on the comments as this is a family friend blog. (Editors note: I laughed again after typing family friend blog)
Osama’s Turn
Thursday, January 24th, 2008
TMZ is reporting that Brit’s original shady pal Osama ‘Sam’ Lutfi is being deposed by Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. The main item on MVK’s list is trying to find out more about Sam’s relationship with a certain paparazzi photo agency that has been allowed special access to Britney. If it can be proven that Sam is on the payroll of the agency, Commissioner Stone won’t be too pleased that the kids are being used in such a manner. Tsk-tsk.
