Jamie Lynn Spears Says It With T-Shirts
So. First, there was the t-shirt that you see above: "The Rumors Are True." Which, as a professional rumor-spreader, I'm not sure how to take. Is it ironic? Is it sarcastic? Does it refer to recent rumors about her engagement to Casey Aldridge? Or to her rumored impregnation by some skeezy, much-older producer? Or to both? Are we being punk'd? Does she just have really bad taste in shirts? Does it matter?
Head. HURTING.
This message-in-a-t-shirt thing just really complicates the whole celebrity-gossip-media relationship. I mean, we're asked, by the t-shirt, to believe that the rumors are true. But if we start believing in t-shirts, what are we to make of this:
Expression of insecurity, or postmodern commentary on the media's obsession with the maternal figure? Or, again, just bad taste?
You tell me.






Those Spears girls sure do love their sloganwear. Remember the I've Got the Golden Ticket? Or Rock Out With Your Cock Out?

MSMBC is saying they're really engaged. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23907793/
Meanwhile, "Jamie Lynn won’t be rushing to the altar in the typical sense, however. The magazine’s source reports that she’ll wait to get back into shape before swapping “I do’s.” “I expect she’ll want to wait at least several months to get her figure back so she can wear a beautiful wedding gown and then have her dream wedding.” "
Her dream wedding involved a shotgun wedding at 16/17 years old? I'm pretty sure not.

Or should we thank her for affording us a glimpse of her at 53? Both of those Spears girls seem anxious to jump the clock. Or, again, is it just bad taste?
If you haven't seen Tracey Ullman on You Tube doing Dina Lohan, you don't know what you've been missing:

I'm going with bad taste. I know. Hard to imagine a Spears having poor taste. I'm just not sure I believe JL is sharp enough to get irony or sarcasm.
