We have a sure winner for our dumbass of the year award, and the lucky recipient is Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby dady, Casey Aldridge. Seems that Aldridge took some family photos to the one-hour photo department at Wal-Mart the other day. Okay, no problem, nothing wrong with that. But what WAS wrong with that is that said photos contained images of Jamie Lynn breastfeeding their baby, with one image showing an exposed breast. The big problem arose when an employee at Wal-Mart decided to make copies for himself, and is apparently attempting to sell them.

Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pictures, or even buying them, could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting child pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor's breast - even if not taken for sexual purposes - could land the creeps in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the photos could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property, according to TMZ.

There is now a federal investigation being made of this incident. Authorities are trying to discover how the security breach happened at Wal-Mart, and are on the hunt for the unscrupulous employee. Yikes! Note to Casey Aldrige: please refrain from reproducing. And if you’re going to reproduce, stick to photos. And even when it comes to photos, don’t go to the one-hour photo lab – buy a good photo printer for heaven’s sake, Jamie Lynn has the cash for it!

Breastfeeding can be dangerous

George Michael should stay away from public toilets

George Michael was arrested on Friday for possession of illegal drugs, which supposedly includes crack cocaine. He was found in a public restroom with the drugs. This is the second time the dude has been arrested for illicit activities in a public rest area, the first of which happened ten years ago in Beverly Hills for “lewd conduct.” Perhaps the guy has fears of being home alone? What would cause him to conduct himself in this way in such a strange environment? Truly bizarre!

Emmy awards sucked

Seriously, what more can I say? It was a disaster of epic proportions, saved only by Ricky Gervais in a hilarious bit with Steve Carrell, and by seeing justice served with Mad Men taking home the Emmy for Best Drama Series. This was not only the worst show quality wise, it was the worst Emmy ratings in history.

I liked how MSNBC summed it up: "The Emmy telecast offers quality that's dismally lower than nearly anything else on television. "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" deserve plenty of criticism, but even their worst episodes — typically their results shows, as they lack content and waste time — are more engaging and entertaining than the Emmys ... The Emmys need to dump their producers and directors.”

Emmys fail miserably

Mariah eyes Oscar?

Last week I reported that Mariah Carey is going to be in a new film called Tennessee, which is actually receiving some good reviews (although I still think it’s going to go straight to DVD). Now we have news that Mariah is set to star in yet another film, this time with hopes to perhaps garner some Oscar attention. Apparently Mariah is going to “go ugly” for the film, titled Push. Director Lee Daniels was so impressed with her grit that he's cast her in his movie, in which she plays a Harlem social worker ministering to an obese, HIV-positive woman impregnated twice by her father.

Mariah must have watched Tropic Thunder and realized that she has to transform herself in order to be considered for an Oscar, much like Charlize Theron who “went ugly” for Monster and Dustin Hoffman, who “went tard” for Rain Man. The only way Mariah is ever going to get close to an Oscar is for singing on a movie soundtrack, and even that is a stretch. Perhaps I’m being too hard on her, I don’t know. If I see her acting and like it, I’ll admit it. But I can’t help being skeptical.

Glitter 3?

Heather Mills: The public adore me!

This has got to be the most delusional statement in recent memory. C’mon, gold digger, you have got to be kidding. Honestly: we, the public, despise you. Doesn’t matter where. The UK, the US, Canada, we’re all in agreement. Though I will give you credit for your work with animals and your recent million-dollar vegetarian food donation to underprivileged children in Harlem. But we still don’t like you.

They like me! No, they really don't

New Killers single released: Human

Yay! The Killers are back with a new CD called Day and Age, to be released in November. The first single is called Human, a more upbeat danceable number, which I’m really liking so far. What do you think?
