Lily Allen is Pregnant

So much for that sudden weight loss.

While Stateside gossipmongers may still be abuzz with news of Jamie Lynn Spears' expectancy, entertainment watchers across the pond have a surprise starlet pregnancy of their own to talk about: Lily Allen's.

A rep for the 22-year-old "Smile" singer has confirmed she is expecting her first child with 37-year-old musician Ed Simons, one half of electronic dance duo the Chemical Brothers. As it is, the stork wasted no time in RSVPing the happy coupleé—¡æ*„e duo has only been dating since September.

"I am pleased to confirm that Lily Allen and her boyfriend, Ed Simons, are expecting their first child," the songbird's rep said in a statement Wednesday. "However, as the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy, as the health of Lily and their child is their paramount concern."

Just last month, the Alright, Still popster, who recently earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album, announced she had been diagnosed with a heart murmur over the summer, a condition that, apart from the shock of the diagnosis, appears relatively harmless.

Allen issued the medical memo after U.S. and U.K. publications began noticing the singer's vastly slimmed down physique and picked up on her seeming sudden adherence to the cookie-cutter starlet mold.

The singer, however, took care to stress that her new designer-friendly figure was the result of a better overall health regime and not born from a desire to "become some skinny minnie謔* will never be like that."

Particularly not for the next nine months.

Despite the burgeoning bun in the oven, Allen's rep said the singer has no plans to pull out of any upcoming professional commitments, chief among them finishing up her highly anticipated sophomore album.

The as-yet untitled record release will go ahead as planned in spring 2008, with Allen due back in the studio in the new year to put the finishing touches on the album. Allen will also forge ahead on a chat show she's set to host for BBC Three, Lily Allen and Friends, which will revolve around topics of the day as spun by the singer and a bevy of her MySpace pals, of which there are, famously, no shortage.

A spokesperson for the BBC said they "have heard the news and we are thrilled for her."

While Allen has long said she only wants to make one more album before retiring from the music biz altogetheré—¡æ°¸me and contracts will tell if that remains the caseé–*?he has only recently started talking about starting a family of her own.

"It's a great job, but it doesn't leave time for what's important," she told Britain's Sunday Times last month. "Like having a family."

"I'd like to live in the country and have a walled garden, and chickens and pigs."

While the pregnancy may allow her to step out of the limelight and pursue the lifestyle she wants, it might also give her the final push to exorcise one of her remaining demons.

"I should also give up smoking," she said last month, "but haven't quite managed that yet."



Jamie Lynn Spears es prego, too

Lynne Spears is going to be a grandmother for the third time. But it turns it out it isn't Britney who's adding to the brood.

Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's 16-year-old sister, has revealed that she is pregnant.

The Zoey 101 star confirms her expectant status in OK! magazine's new issue and says that the father is longtime beau Casey Aldridge.

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Spears says. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

The high school junior who still calls Louisiana home told the tabloid she's 12 weeks along but didn't break the news to her mom until just before Thanksgiving.

"As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody," Spears said. "Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."

A rep for Britney Spears tells E! News exclusively that the pop star has heard the news and "wishes her sister nothing but the best and asks for privacy during this time."

As for Lynne Spears, who has already watched her oldest daughter go through the media ringer this year, the news definitely came as a shock.

"She was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all," Spears says. "A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."

Support doesn't necessarily equal happiness, however. A source close to the Spears family tells E! Online Senior Editor Marc Malkin that "the family is in shock. They are coping but they're very disappointed."

"I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious," Lynne Spears told OK! "She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."

The teenager said during her OK! sitdown that she hadn't yet informed Nickelodeon, which carries Zoey 101, about this latest turn of events, but the network is obviously in the loop now.

"We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation," Nickelodeon said in a statement Tuesday as soon as word of Spears' pregnancy started to get out. "We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."

The cliffhanger third season finale of Zoey 101, which features the title character having to choose between remaining at California's tony Pacific Coast Academy or moving to London with her parents, is scheduled to air Jan. 4, which is perhaps not a moment too soon.

When asked by OK! what message she had for her fellow teens about premarital sex, Spears acknowledged that she isn't exactly in a position to judge.

"I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she said. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."

Spears told the Associated Press recently that she has always considered attending Lousiana State University after high school, although she has enjoyed traveling to Malibu, where Zoey 101 is filmed and Britney keeps a beach house.

But she tells OK! that she wants to raise her child in Louisiana, "so it can have a normal family life."

Coincidentally, Lynne Spears' book about her experiences raising two daughters in the glare of the media spotlight has been postponed indefinitely, her publisher confirmed Tuesday.

Contrary to what it looks like, the brakes were temporarily applied to the project last week, according to inspirational book purveyor Thomas Nelson.

"We are standing behind Lynne at this time and understand that she needs time with her family隰｡e support that," a spokeswoman told People.

Yeah....apparently, she's now saying that Jamie isn't prego. Maybe she's trying to cover up her embarrasment about finding out through a tabloid.

We'll have to see how this one goes. She's already looked down upon because she's 16. Funny how she met the baby daddy at church. XD

"Britney shaves K-Fed's pubes while he sleeps!"
