Jamie Lynn Spears - Spears Fools Paparazzi


JAMIE LYNN SPEARS left hospital on Saturday (21Jun08) with a cunning plan to outsmart the waiting paparazzi - using a decoy to give her a snapper-free exit.

The 17-year-old gave birth to her first child, Maddie Briann, on Thursday (19Jun08) at Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in MCComb, Mississippi.

And according to America's OK magazine, when the Zoey 101 star was due to be discharged, she reportedly hired a look-a-like to be driven back to her parents' home in Kentwood, Louisiana.

The decoy joined new dad Casey Aldridge, and Spears' parents Lynn and Jamie, while the actress slipped out the back entrance, with her daughter, to a car and a police escort waiting to take her to Serenity, Mississippi, where she shares a home with her fiance Aldridge.

The teen star stunned the Spears family when she announced her pregnancy news last year (07), at the age of 16. The couple had reportedly been delaying their wedding until after the birth of their first child.

Studios agree deal with acting union

One of America's two major acting unions has reached a tentative agreement with the studios, quelling fears that Hollywood productions could be halted due by a strike.
According to Reuters, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) and the studios agreed on how to handle contracts for internet-only shows and 'residual' payments for the online display of TV clips.
However, the Screen Actors Guild, the larger of the two unions with 120,000 members to AFTRA's 40,000, many of whom are also in SAG, has yet to find common ground with the studios - three weeks of talks ended in stalemate earlier this month - and is seen as more militant and likely to strike.
The 100-day writers strike that ended in February caused a host of TV shows and films to cease productions and unease over the current dispute have led to 'de facto' strike conditions in certain parts of the industry, with episodes being stockpiled and productions not being green-lighted.
Talks between SAG and the studios will resume soon, with the SAG are believed to be seeking larger 'residual' payments for actors from DVD sales as well as making new arrangements to cover internet issues.

After a brief false start out between 1991 and 1993, Italy's Aborym truly came to be in 1997, with leader Malfeitor Fabban (bass, synthesizers, programming) drafting Sethlans (guitars, samples) and singer Yorga SM to take part in the self-financed Antichristian Nuclear Sabbath demonstration. This, in turn attracted new vocaliser Attila Csihar -- fabled for his seminal put to work with Mayhem -- and lead guitar player Nysrok SS, world Health Organization united in clip for 1999's Kali Yuga Bizarre album, released by Scarlet Records. Introducing a truly original brand of futuristic black metal, the album's jagged samples, electronic drums, and industrial overtones have Aborym's peculiar sound very hard to pin down or define.

In many slipway, Jack Penate is Lily Allen minus the satire and the party frocks. The South Londoner's music is glossy, radio-ready pop, simply its center is frozen in the Two-Tone ska revival and the more soulful end of '80s pop, along the lines of the Style Council and the Housemartins. Add in Penate's impinging vocal resemblance to the loretta Young Billy Bragg and he's like the postmillennial equivalent weight to the U.K. pupil discos of deuce decades antecedently. Jack Fabian Penate (beingness of Spanish descent, his cognomen is pronounced "Pen -- yah -- TAY," not "Pen -- ate") was innate in Blackheath, a fair swish London suburbia, on September 9, 1984. While smooth in his teens, Penate formed a band called Jack's Basement, which besides featured his classmate Felix White, later lead guitar player for neo-Brit-pop play the Maccabees. When that group broke up as its members went off to different universities, Penate began a solo career, backed by bassist Joel Porter and drummer Alex Robins. While development a substantial live next due in enceinte section to his phrenetic onstage dance, Penate signed with the Young Turks label and released his debut undivided "Second, Minute or Hour" (each of the thousand limited edition vinyl copies containing a Polaroid self-portrait of the artist) in the fall of 2006. The single's favorable buzz allowed Penate to derail to the bigger indie XL Recordings for his beginning EP, Spit at Stars, released in the spring of 2007.

Hardcore/drum'n'bass DJ and producer Grooverider has over the age go near synonymous with the London drum'n'bass setting. A DJ for over a x spinning everything from soul-jazz and acid-house to hip-hop and hardcore breakbeat, "Grooverider the Hardcore Provider," as he's come to be known, has followed the development of drum'n'bass up from its earlier roots in breakbeat techno and felicitous hard-core on through to contemporaneous styles such as ambient and techstep. A residing DJ at some of London's biggest-name clubs (including Rage and his have long-running, extremely lauded Metalheadz nighttime at Blue Note), Grooverider's influence, non solely on the sound but likewise the politics and ideology of jungle, is plausibly rivaled alone by Goldie's (and then with non near the flamboyance). A DJ since his former teens, Rider (born Roger Bingham) spun everything from acid idle words and deep house with the South London Sound System and pirate station FAZE FM earlier landing place a residence with Rage, an origination of early-'90s hardcore thrown under the umbrella of London's biggest weekly, Heaven. Fired from an apprenticeship in accounting when he couldn't make it jibe with nights out spinning 'til 4 a.m., Grooverider went full-time with DJing when he was hired on at Rage, and began producing music curtly after.


Rider recorded his first base tracks (as Codename John) for his fresh launched Prototype label in belated 1993, at the height of the reign of ragga and jump-up. Fusing breakbeat with elements of rave, blistering, and techno, Grooverider's approach on tracks such as "Dreams of Heaven" and "Deep Inside" pushed for a crossing over of jungle's to the highest degree important historic constituents -- hardstep, darkside, and the music's hardcore yesteryear -- an approach path presently popularized by supposed "techstep" artists such as Origin Unknown, Ed Rush, and Boymerang. In metre, Prototype would go synonymous with futuristic dancefloor drum'n'bass that notwithstanding refuses the conservativism most frequently associated with the dancefloor. Early releases on the label include Ed Rush's "Kilimanjaro," "Door" by Dillinja's Cybotron fancy, and Boymerang's monolithic "Still" (tracks from these releases all appear on Prototype's kickoff uncut release, The Prototype Years). Grooverider signed a non-exclusive recording parcel out with Sony underling Higher Ground in 1996 -- The Prototype Years was the kickoff fruit of that, followed in 1998 by his proper solo debut Mysteries of Funk. Prototype remains active as well.
