I know it won’t discourage the sales department from coming down to pester me forever, but maybe I’ll get a brief reprieve.

Well, consider the source…

Britney Spears sister Jamie Lynn is reportedly pregnant with her second child, just three months after becoming a mother to a baby girl.

Spears, who is 17 years-old, is reportedly eight weeks into her second pregnancy, having become pregnant just a month after baby Maddie Briann was born on June 19.

I’m all for encouraging abstinence. As long as you’re teaching responsible safe sex in conjunction with it. It’s like teaching your kid how to drive a car and not showing them how to use a seatbelt because you’re afraid it’ll encourage them to t-bone little old ladies in an intersection.

Also, sidebar: this is a hilariously written sentence: “The report in the National Enquirer said that Spears was not aware that one could become pregnant while breastfeeding”, which has images in my mind of Spears being knocked up by her baby while she’s breastfeeding him/her.

CNN got a sneak peek at Watchmen (spoilers, but not such as any who’ve read the graphic novel should be concerned with):

Director Zack Snyder previewed and discussed three scenes from his upcoming graphic novel adaptation Wednesday. The film is based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ award-winning graphic novel of the same name about a group of subversive superheroes in hiding.

Snyder, who directed “300,” said the movie was originally slated to be set in modern times and explained how he slowly persuaded studio Warner Bros. to stay true to the graphic novel’s alternate 1985 setting, where Richard Nixon remains president and outlaws superheroes.

“I was like, ‘What if we just set it back a little further, like 1990?’ ” said Snyder. “And then we just said that 1985 is cooler because then it would be more of a period movie. That was how, for me anyway, I got as much of the graphic novel back in.”

I’m really jazzed about that running time and hope the film stays north of 150 minutes: really makes shelling out that $10 for a ticket worth it. Seriously, though: shouldn’t movie theaters charge admission per film length? I’d feel totally ripped off paying the same amount to see a 90-minute film as I would the next Harry Potter.
