)#2 on today’s NY Times most popular links…truer column titles have never been written…
)Woman sat dead in front of TV for 42 years
Seriously!? How is this even possible?

At least now we can take its picture off milk cartons

I knew this day would come. What’s next? Dolphins with thumbs?
)…that make them want to one-up their big sis? Jamie Lynn, just because your sister is unwed with two kids (and walks into public restrooms with no shoes on) in her mid-20s, doesn’t mean you have to have four kids by your own mid-20s. You don’t need to start this early.
But here’s my question: why on earth would Lynn Spears need to cancel–sorry, postpone–her Christian parenting book now? Now more than ever, the world needs to know of her parenting philosophy. So they can do the opposite.
UPDATE, 3:16pm: Bonnie Fuller at HuffPo absolutely (and justifiably) lights into Lynn Spears.
Lynne Spears, what were you thinking? Or not thinking and not doing? Did you never sit down with either of your daughters—Britney, now just turned 26, and the divorced mother of two toddlers or Jamie Lynn, 16 and now three months pregnant—and give them The Talk?
You know the one, where mothers warn their daughters about the dangers of unprotected sex: as in, you can get pregnant if you don’t use contraception and you can contract any one of a number of dangerous sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Or were you too busy pushing their careers to ever have this heart-to-heart with them? Were you too tied up lining up meetings with record company executives, TV networks, publicists and tour managers to check on whether you were instilling personal values and self-esteem in your daughters?
And what kind of mother upon hearing the news that her 16-year-old daughter is knocked up, reacts by picking up the phone and negotiating to get her daughter’s photo plastered on the cover of a magazine with a tell-all interview by the daughter and herself inside?
