Pregnancy, Scandals, And More...

After a few grueling and paparazzi filled months, Jamie Lynn Spears had a baby. And just today, Britney Spears opened up about her sister's pregnancy in an interview in OK! magazine. As well, HSM star Vanessa Hudgens is being sued for $5 million by a music producer. The contract signed with the producer in 2005 says that Vanessa is to share her earnings with the producer, Johnny Vieira. Vieira would get a percentage of the earnings that Vanessa made from her first three albums. However, he claims that Hudgens and her father have taken every chance possible to NOT pay Vieira his share.

Another lawsuit that popped up in the entertainment world this week concerns Paris Hilton. The lawsuit, filed by Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc., claims that Hilon did not do enough to promote the film "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" in which she also starred. The company paid Hilton $1 million to promote and act in the movie. The company is seeking $75,000.
