Some good news for the Spears family, at long last: Jamie Lynn passed the GED, and now she’s already thinking about college.

People reports that she passed the equivalency test about a month ago, “scoring particularly well on her reading comprehension,” and may be moving onto the ACT. “She’s already got her diploma,” says a friend, to People. “When she gets something in her head, she’ll make it happen.” Like a baby, perhaps?

Just a month ago, J.L. was seen walking around with a GED near her home in Louisiana.

FIRST THING FIRST! You can watch the Sarah Silverman “I’m F*cking Matt Damon” video RIGHT HERE.

You can watch Jimmy Kimmel’s “I’m F*cking Ben Affleck” response video RIGHT HERE. 

Now the story!

Jimmy Kimmel has blasted back at girlfriend Sarah Silverman in the wake of her recent revelation – in an hysterical music video – that she and PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive Matt Damon are intimate.

Her song: “I’m F—ing Matt Damon.” Kimmel’s song of revenge, unveiled on his ABC show Jimmy Kimmel Live Sunday night immediately after the Oscars: “I’m F—ing Ben Affleck.” (Watch the video here.)

“Matt, Sarah, this is for you,” said Kimmel, noting that Silverman and Damon’s music video has been seen by about 8 million people on ABC.com and YouTube.

And the hilarious new clip – in which the two are seen giving each other pedicures before Affleck tweaks Kimmel’s bare chest – isn’t just a duet: It’s an all-star performance on par with “We Are the World.”

When it comes to backup singers, Kimmel somehow managed to round up a who’s-who of the entertainment industry, including Don Cheadle, Ashlee Simpson, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz, Huey Lewis, Christina Applegate, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, Benji and Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Josh Groban and Harrison Ford – who blows the new couple a kiss.

Even Brad Pitt makes a cameo, albeit in a non-singing role. He plays a FedEx deliveryman who brings a cake of congratulations to Kimmel and Affleck.

Kimmel and Affleck also stand nose to nose in the video, and all but kiss. As Robin Williams rhapsodizes, “This is not a man crush.”

“The reason I did it like this, I didn’t want my parents finding out from the tabloids,” Kimmel said after showing the video.

Affleck said his wife, Jennifer Garner, didn’t take the news very well. “Thank God my daughter is too young [to understand],” added the actor, referring to 2-year-old Violet.

Retorted a straight-faced Kimmel, “Well, she’s our daughter now.”

PEOPLE 

Paris Hilton gets around, seriously. I mean.. just think about all you’ve read about her and different dudes. It’s sick!

Less than two weeks after Benji Madden split from fiancée Sophie Monk, the rocker is stepping out with another blonde bombshell. The new woman in his life? None other than Paris Hilton.

“Yes, they are dating. It’s pretty serious,” a source confirms of the couple, who have been spotted together all over town – make that all over the country! In just the past few days, they have partied at Home nightclub in suburban St. Louis, shopped (while holding hands) at Hollywood’s Fred Segal, and even grabbed lunch with Madden’s mom.

On Sunday night, the two hit the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where they cuddled in a massive booth and engaged in an intimate conversation.

The apparent love connection is certainly convenient: His twin brother, Joel, dates Hilton’s B.F.F., Nicole Richie.

PEOPLE

Okay so this picture hit the internet this weekend but since I’m too lazy to work on the weekends, I’ll just have to post it now. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt showed up at the 2008 Film Independent Spirit Awards and Angie was wearing a tight black dress showing off her obvious pregnant belly (and her still rail-thin body). Rumors were sparked a couple weeks before when Angie wore a loose, flowing dress to an awards show, trying obviously to hide her body. This is the couple’s second blood child together but will make number 5 to their clan.

I must say, Angie looks pretty good here. She looks happy, probably from all the positive attention and her pregnancy. I think she still looks a bit thin but she looks good. Brad, on the other hand, looks worn out. His face is a wrinkled piece of brown paper and his hair is a piece. Seriously, if thats not some sort of wig then I will die of shock. Honestly.

After all the heavy duty Oscar talk from last night and this morning, we really need to lighten the mood. Let’s do that by looking at Brooke Hogan jumping around in a blue bikini. I myself am a fan of Brooke Hogan and her music. I do think she wears some funky clothes and a bit too much make up but who cares? I think she’s doing some sort of beach work-out here. I think she’s got a great body. She’s thin but not too thin, fit but not too fit. I hate it when people call her fat because I think she’s thinner than normal and if that’s fat.. well, that’s not good. For those of you who think Brooke Hogan looks good, then these bikini pictures are for you!

Jennifer Aniston is virtually in the tabloids every week. I feel bad for her because she’s just trying to get on with her life and be happy but the tabloids CANNOT let her be! I mean, I’m a firm believer in famous people needing to accept that they’re going to be in the tabloids cause they’re famous but I also believe ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! As if getting dumped (and cheated on) by Brad Pitt isn’t bad enough, now she’s gotta face a new drama every week with these magazines.

One of them was reporting that Jennifer was supposed to have a face-to-face with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at a party for the Oscars on Saturday night. I’m thinking this was just more drama the tabloid has put on Jen’s shoulders because it didn’t happen. Jen showed up to the party but Angie and Brad did not. I’m thinking this whole story was made up because why would Angie and Brad show up? Both of them were snubbed for their work in the film industry last year so showing up to Oscar parties would be odd as it is. Nonetheless, the meeting of ex-lovers and current lady never went down.

In other Jennifer Aniston news, apparently she is freezing her eggs. I guess since Jen is getting older and has yet to meet Mister Right, she wants to ensure that when she meets him she can still have their babies. A good idea, I guess, if you don’t want to be like Nicole Kidman. But, just like other Aniston stories, I doubt this is true. According to Star Magazine, Jen’s good pal Sheryl Crow told her she should just adopt but Jen is thrilled to be having her own children in the future, and wants to preserve that dream by freezing her eggs. Jen’s rep has denied the story, which in Hollywood doesn’t really mean anything. Nonetheless, I think this story is probably untrue.

MSNBC 

5:39pm: Jon Stewart pissed off Dennis Hopper, I’m pretty sure. And before that, I’m pretty sure George Clooney was irritated for Jon to be talking to him. His political jokes about the Iraqi war was typical and, because of those jokes, I wish he wasn’t hosting. He was definitely pushing the Democratic thing and it was sort of funny but mostly annoying because the Oscars are about movies, not politics.

5:42pm: Jennifer Garner is the first presenter. She is presenting the award for Achievement in Costume Design. The winner is Alexandra Burn for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. She was previously nominated in the same category for her work on the film Hamlet. BORING! Let’s get to the good jokes, the good awards, and the good celebrities!

The first commercial break. The first of many, I’m sure. I wonder what those losers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing right now? Besides getting snubbed.

5:46pm: George “I’ve got an attitude problem” Clooney is on-stage. He needs to learn how to read. Seems like he stumbled a bit. He is announcing the whole”80 Years of Oscar” bit. Seeing Julia Roberts winning reminded me how glad I am that she’s out of the spotlight. Charlie Chaplin sure looked different as an old guy but seeing the clip of him getting his Honorary Oscar was pretty neat.

5:51pm: Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell (who was funny AS USUAL!) are presenting for Best Animated Feature Film now. They came out to Get Smart music because of their new movie, Get Smart, coming out in June 2008. The winner is Brad Bird and his feature Ratatouille. This is Bird’s 2nd Academy Award.

5:55pm: Katherine Heigl is on-stage presenting the award for Achievement in Make Up. She was incredibly nervous and shaking, which I found endearing. The winner is La Vie En Rose. Now Amy Adams is singing some gay song from Enchanted. This is the time where I get up and eat and pee cause I hate this type of crap.

Second commercial break of the night. Hope everyone is watching these at home so you guys can relate to my comments!

6:06pm: And we’re back! Thank goodness that Amy Adams performance ended. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is now on-stage. He looks like a monkey! He’s presenting the award for Best Visual Effect. The winner is Michael Fink for The Golden Compass.

6:09pm: Cate Blanchett, who is a double-nominee this year, is presenting the award for Art Direction. The winner is the people for Sweeney Todd.

Okay so I was just reminded how little people care about all these awards as opposed to the big, main awards. So I will slow it down and update just for the really good stuff so that you guys aren’t reading a crap load of stuff.

6:16pm: Best Supporting Actor awards being presented by Jennifer Hudson. The winner is.. Javier Bardem for his role in No Country For Old Men.

6:34pm: Best Supporting Actress award being presented by last years Best Supporting Actor winner Alan Arkin. The winner is (I’m totally gunning for Cate but I’m waiting to see who actually wins it!) Tilda Swinton for her role in Michael Clayton.

Third commercial break

6:54pm: Kristen Chenoweth performing some horrible song from Enchanted. I’m so glad I never saw that movie!

Fourth commercial break but after that performance, we all need a break!

7:02pm: Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill presenting and they are hilarious. I wish all the presenters could have as much life and happiness as these two. Everyone else is boring. They presented their award to two hippies (seriously) for The Borne Ultimatum and they were totally lost the whole time. Classic.

7:09pm: Forest Whittaker presenting the award for Best Actress In A Leading Role. This one will be tough but I am still rooting for Cate B. The winner is (drumroll!) Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose.

Okay it’s 8:05pm and its been through seven commercials and I’m so tired of watching this! They just did the tribute to all the people who have passed away and seeing Heath Ledger’s name up there just wasn’t right. It’s so sad that he’s gone. Let’s hope the BEST ACTOR award is next!!

8:14pm: Tom Hanks just spoke and I wish there was more of him in this show. He’s beyond awesome. In fact, from seeing him I’m getting tempted to turn off this show and watch Forrest Gump. Seriously.

8:30pm: Best Actor award finally being given out by Helen Mirren after frickin 3 hours of waiting. The winner is Daniel Day Lewis for his role in There Will Be Blood. DAMN! I really wanted Viggo Mortensen to win. He did an excellent job in Eastern Promises.

8:45pm: Best Motion picture being presented by Denzel Washington. I wanted 3:10 to Yuma to win but it wasn’t nominated. No Country For Old Men was the winner. Hooray. The 3rd Oscar for them (the Cohen brothers) in one night.

FINALLY! They are over! What did you think of the results?

5:07pm:    Javier Bardem, who is nominated as Best Actor for his role in No Country For Old Men, is there with a hair cut looking very good! He gave a shout out to his sister in Spain and then spoke some Spanish.. it sounded good!

5:14pm:     Daniel Day Lewis talks about his role in There Will Be Blood. He sounds good with his accent and even though his hair is totally grayed out, he looks good. His wife has got a hideous dress on.  Regis is talking to the oldest Oscar fan, some lady in a bright yellow sweatshirt with an Oscar on the front. The show is starting in 11 minutes! Get ready!

5:23pm:     Ellen Page had a nice blurb to say about her nomination for Best Actress in the movie Juno. I hope she wins because she is so genuine and she is still so young she hasn’t been affected by all the dram and bitchiness!  Regis is talking to all the chicks who are performing the 3rd song of the night; a song from the Disney movie Enchanted. Should be gay.

*If you would like to see the list of 2008 Oscar nominations, CLICK HERE* I will be live-blogging through the whole ceremony and will post the winners later this evening, as they are announced. Enjoy the commentary and pictures! TIP: refresh your page frequently! I will continue to add pictures every thirty minutes or so! Enjoy the 80th annual Academy Awards!*

3:20pm:     Okay, I’m starting my live-blogging of the 2008 Oscars right now. I don’t want to start this early but it’s either this or reading about the Cold War and, well, we all know watching stuck-up famous people give each other fake hugs and dirty looks is wayy better than reading about any war. Heidi Klum and Seal were just interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and Heidi Klum is annoying. Anytime people ask her if she’s looking forward to seeing anyone famous she’s says no. Girlfriend thinks she’s too famous to get star-struck or something.

3:30pm:     I’m watching the pre-Academy Awards red carpet thing on the E! channel with Ryan Seacrest, Guiliana Rancic, and Kimora Lee Simmons. I found it totally hilarious when George Clooney (with girlfriend Sarah Larson) totally shot down every possible joke or conversation piece from Ryan Seacrest. I actually found him to be a little rude, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. Jason Bateman was funny when he insinuated that George Clooney wears a wig. I bet George heard him say that and was pissed! No one calls George out… no one! (Well, except Fabio, huh?) I’m totally already getting tired of watching this and the awards haven’t even started yet! To make it worse, I definitely don’t think Jon Stewart is neither cute or funny… so it’s going to be rough!

3:56pm:     Ryan is interviewing Saoirse Ronan of Atonement and I’m loving her cute little accent and her emerald green dress. I just learned from the text band at the bottom of the television screen that Kristen Chenoweth will be singing (eh, performing) a song tonight. And if you saw her on Leno then you know she’s the adorable blonde actress from Pushing Daisies.

4:00pm:     Steve Carell and his wife are being interviewed by Ryan right now and Steve is funny. I love The Office and I love all his movies so I’m happy to see he’s a funny, cute guy in real life. He’s starring in Get Smart with Anne Hathaway coming out in June. I love that Steve and his wife just said happy birthday to his wife’s sister… so cute! Patrick Dempsey and his wife are talking to Ryan. They’re boring and plain, I hate to say it.

4:05pm:     John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston are looking old and they weren’t very friendly with Ryan. Travolta’s wig is shaved off so that’s a plus. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is on the red carpet and is presenting tonight, which is a total joke because he’s like, the worst actor ever. I used to love him like 10 years ago but that fizzled out a long time ago! Atonement star James McAvoy and Anne Marie Scott are both so cute. I love James’ accent, as always.

4:12pm:     Charlie Wilson’s War actress Amy Adams just got interviewed on the red carpet by Ryan and she was cute and charming as always.  Adams was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2005 Academy Awards for her role as Ashley Johnston in Junebug.

4:18pm:    Gary Busey just awkwardly hugged Jennifer Garner (who looks gorgeous with a huge diamond necklace on) and then kissed her. It was HILARIOUS and she handled it pretty well, aside from the fact she was beyond freaked out. She said she needed her man Ben Affleck around and I think she was right! Laura Linney was at Jennifer Garner’s side. Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are looking like twins with pubic hair beards and black glasses.. but they are so hilarious. I love them. Miley Cyrus is wearing a red Valentino dress (and I’m wondering why she’s even there) and Ryan Seacrest is just feeding her ego.. it’s sick!

4:30pm:     Ryan Seacrest cannot let go of the whole “Gary Busey busting in” moment. It was, however, quite hilarious. Keri Russell is now talking to Ryan Seacrest. She is wearing a gold strapless dress and she is with her husband, Shane. She is a presenter for some sort of song. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are being interviewed by Ryan and they’re totally stuck-up. Her face is looking fat now that she’s in her third-trimester. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is talking to Ryan promoting his movie A Raisin In The Sun on ABC tomorrow night. Cameron Diaz had to ask her assistant what brand of jewels she was wearing. She is presenting at the Oscars again this year, the same as she did last year. Tilda Swinton talked about her role in Michael Clayton. That’s some red hair!

4:45pm:     Still on the red carpet with Ryan.  Lisa Rinna walked by in the background and I’m not sure why her and her big lips are there but whatever. Colin Farrell was there with his mommy and he said Nicole Kidman had nothing to do with why he became an actor, contrary to rumors.  Casey Affleck, who is being nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Assassination of Jesse James, was friendly with Ryan. Hilary Swank is wearing a black Versace dress. It’s pretty but somewhat plain.

4:58pm:    Katherine Heigl wearing a bright red dress with bright red lipstick. A bit intense for me but whatever.

5:01pm:    Now I’m watching the Red Carpet Countdown to the Oscars with Regis Philbin on ABC.  The Reeg is talking to George (been there, done that) about his Best Actor nomination for Michael Clayton. The Reeg couldn’t hear a damn word that George said and he made a fool outta himself. Funny, though. Marion Cotillard is wearing a white dress and is there for her nomination for Best Actress.

*This post is getting long so I will continue on the next post.. keep refreshing your page for updates! Thanks!*

This is Britney Spears at age 36 according to this site. I think it looks a lot like an older, fatter Britney. They did a good job on her. Maybe someone should show this picture to Britney and hope it serves as a wake up call to her. You know what’s funny about this picture? I totally know ladies that work in grocery stores that look like this–minus the famous pop star past. Maybe this is what Britney is destined for? What do you guys think?
