Gossip Teen

Former Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn Spears has officially announced her engagement to Jamie Watson, 30,  her boyfriend of three years!

And by officially announced, we mean she posted it on Twitter and Instagram.  That counts as official, right?  The 21-year-old posted the above pic along with the caption, “Guesssss what??????” to her personal Twitter account and then posted this little number, along with the caption “He did good ”

The news comes just two months after big sis Britney Spears called off her engagement with her fiancé/manager Jason Tarwick.

You know that’s gotta sting…

With Britney Spears and L.A. Reid out the door, The X Factor is in the market for some brand spanking new judges for next season!  So who does show creator and fellow judge Simon Cowell want to join his crew?  Well, none other than  on-again/off-again celebrity boos Katy Perry and John Mayer!

Simon sees it as a brilliant pairing. Katy’s sassy, honest and a huge star, while John’s more reserved. Having them as rivals would be genius – if they had on-air bust-ups, it’d be unmissable.

While Simon is certainly right about Katy, we just can’t see John agreeing to a reality TV show.  Isn’t he supposed to be some sort of musical genius or something?  He just doesn’t seem to fit the bill…

Although nothing has been confirmed by either singers’ camp, nothing has been denied either – so we can only assume that both Katy and John are both 100% IN for X Factor Season 3 ;)

Oooooh Demi Lovato is sure to get her panties in a twist over this one!  Another pretty brunette on set?  We smell a feud!

Poor Brit Brit.  First her relationship with fiance Jason Trawick hits a rough patch and now this?

According to sources, X Factor host Britney Spears will be getting the ax at the end of this season because, well, she’s not as nutty as she once was!

One X Factor insider revealed that the show’s creator Simon Cowell is disappointed with the lack of antics Britney has drummed up the show this season.

He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.

Too bad your show didn’t air back in 2008 Simon…

Another insider shared that X Factor producers aren’t interested in renewing Britney’s $15 contract to have her “say ‘amazing’ and offer half-claps.”  Yeah, we can understand that.  We thought the “It’s Not in Your Control” singer would have a little bit more to offer as a mentor.

We wonder who they’ll get to replace her???  Ooooh our wheels are already spinning!

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian made her co-hosting debut on The X Factor last night and um, well – so did one of her aureolas…

Did somebody say “nip slip”?

Although, it’s tough to call it a “slip” when the 28-year-old was wear a sheer blouse under studio lighting.  We think it would be more accurate to call it a “nip publicity stunt”.

During an off-camera moment, judge Simon Cowell took to his Twitter to comment about the reality star’s glaring high beams.

I think the air conditioning is on high tonight looking at khloe.

Typical Simon.

But the wardrobe malfunction didn’t seem to put a damper on Khloe’s excitement over her new hosting gig – after sharing the news of her boobage blunder with fans on Twitter, she posted that she couldn’t be happier about being a part of the X Factor family.

Already half way into the show – and I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new job!!! #xfactor

Well that makes one of us!

During last night’s episode of The X Factor, host Britney Spears got a hankerin’ for some serious booty shaking!

The 30-year-old pop star stood up during a performance of Vanilla Ice’s hit “Ice Ice Baby” and started shaking her money-maker in front of the studio audience.

Now, we’re not necessarily saying that Brit’s dancing was “bad” per se; what we are saying is that it was completely and totally awkward.  Almost as if the producers of the show whispered in her ear during the commercial break that she needed to spice things up a bit.

We love you Brit Brit, but next time the rhythm moves you, save it for when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Check out a video of Britney’s solo dance party below…

Who says Britney Spears is over the hill?

The 30-year-old mother-of-two Tweeted this rockin’ picture of herself in a gorgeous white bikini yesterday, along with the caption:

Y’all ready for summer to end? I’m definitely not!

And neither are we after seeing how much work we have left to do to catch up to the stunning Ms. Spears!  Who knew our girl Britney looked so fabulous!?

It just ain’t fair!

Britney’s first season as an X Factor judge kicks off September 12th of FOX.  Be sure to catch B$, Demi Lovato, LA Reid and Simon Cowell in all their judgmental glory!

Whether we wanted to see it or not, X Factor host Britney Spears has never been shy about showing off her body.  But the singer took her exhibitionism to a whole new level yesterday when she Tweeted the above photo and can we just say – WHOA MOMMA!  We didn’t know our girl Brit still looked that freaking good!

Looks like sharing a judges table with Demi Lovato has done a body good

The 30-year-old mother of two Tweeted the sexy bikini pic while on vacation in Hawaii with sons Sean and Jayden, and fiancé Jason Trawick along with the caption,

Getting ready for some pool time! Having a blast xxoo

We’d be having a blast too, if we looked like that!

During an acoustic performance last night at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill, former Nickelodeon star Jamie Lynn Spears gave a touching (albeit painfully flat) performance of her new song “I Look Up to You” – a tribute to big sister Britney Spears.

The next song is called, ‘I Look Up to You,’… You can imagine who I wrote it about. I hope y’all like it a lot.

The song discusses the senior Spear’s difficult life growing up in the spotlight, with lyrics like,

Saying scared little girl living in a big old world. You’ve outgrown your room, it all happened way too soon. They took away your innocence. We forgot our strong defense.

The song was well received well by the audience, who undoubtedly saw the pain in Jamie Lynn’s face as she sang the very personal lyrics.

The 21-year-old singer took to her Twitter account after the show to thank her fans for all their support, but didn’t go into any further detail about the poignant tune.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight! So very appreciated!

Check out a video of Jamie Lynn’s performance of “I Look Up to You” below!

This is going to be the longest award show in the HISTORY of award shows!

Sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn’t because of an all-out diva brawl between X Factor newcomers Demi Lovato and Britney Spears.  Not yet anyway

Apparently, Lovato, Spears and L.A. Reid (judge Simon Cowell was out sick) walked off the set of The X Factor yesterday, when a would-be contestant refused to face them, while auditioning in Kansas City, MO.

According to sources, the judges felt the contestant, who apparently  couldn’t sing his way out of a paper bag, wasn’t giving them the respect they deserved and refused to waste their time listening to him sing.

We can only hope this is only the beginning of 2012 The X Factor shenanigans!
