Teen icon Jaime-Lynn Spears' aunt has suggested the TV star became pregnant on purpose in a big to steal some of big sister Britney's limelight. The "Zoey 101" star stunned the world earlier this week by confirming she was three months pregnant, and not everyone is supporting her decision to become a young mom.

Speaking out on TV news show "Extra," Spears' aunt Chanda McGovern says, "Whether she got pregnant on purpose or by accident she's wanting a little 'me' attention because everything's going on with Britney. "I hope she don't take parenting tips from Britney." And McGovern insists she's upset by the news her niece is with child: "Sixteen is entirely too young to be sexually active ..."

In other Jaime-Lynn news, the star reportedly is planning to marry the father of her unborn child Casey Aldridge, his pastor uncle reveals. Subsequent reports have suggested the pair are set to split, but Aldridge's uncle, Reverend Odus Jackson claims they are smitten and have discussed marriage. Jackson tells the New York Post, "Jamie-Lynn and Casey want to get married. I know Casey does, and he says she does, too. "I know what he has expressed. Casey wants to get married and do it as soon as possible."

Jamie Lynn Spears is Pregnant at 16

Well, we certainly didn't see this one coming: Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. She is 16 and is keeping the baby. Her mother has been allowing her to live with her boyfriend, whom she met at church. Nickelodeon issued the following statement:

"We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. 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."

OK Magazine has the exclusive interview with Jamie Lynn and her mother, Lynne Spears. The father is 19 years old, which means that someone is in big trouble under the statutory rape laws. Although some states allow people under 18 to get married with a parent's approval.

What it the world is her mother thinking allowing her to live with her boyfriend?? It's outrageous! Where is her dad? We won't ask where Britney is, because, well -- you know.

Beware of a Dieting Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi was a very rude and naughty girl the other night while dining out in New York.

"Top Chef" host and judge Padma Lakshmi dined at newly remodeled Fiamma in SoHo on Friday night with a male friend. And when the chef realized that she was in the house, he created a few special additions to her meal as a treat. Mistake!

"She was very rude to the waiter, and when he brought out the surprise dishes, she sent them all back to the kitchen saying she didn't want them," says a witness. "The chef had one more planned, and when it came out, she literally screamed at the waiter, 'Take it away! Don't you know I'm on a diet?'"

Coincidentally, Martha Stewart had been in just before Lakshmi, overtipped her waiter and complimented the staff and the food. "Everyone expected Padma to be the nice one," laughs our source.

Perhaps Padma was incredibly hungry, hence the grumpiness? Still, there's no excuse for being so rude to the nice chef. And hey, what's with the crack about Martha?? Martha is always polite!

Johnny Depp Most Gracious to Fans: Will Ferrell is the Worst

For the third year in a row, Johnny Depp has been named as the most gracious star when it comes to signing autographs. The worst is Will Ferrell. Surprisingly, Russell Crowe was really nice to fans this year.

Want an autograph from Johnny Depp? Chances are, he'll sign something for you - and not be a jerk about it. The 44-year-old actor is the most gracious celebrity - for the third year in a row - on Autograph magazine's annual list of the "10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers."

*****

"Though soft-spoken and laid-back, he likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing," New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi explains in the December issue, now on newsstands. "He'll sign more than one item when he has time, too." The magazine said editors compiled input from autograph-collecting judges based in Europe, New York and California in ranking the celebs.

Matt Damon is second on the list, followed by George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning and Russell Crowe - wait, Russell Crowe? Crowe, who has a history of throwing temper tantrums, ranked among the worst signers on last year's list. But in a turnaround, the magazine said, the 43-year-old actor "started treating fans great, signing, taking pictures and chatting them up."

Will Ferrell doesn't like to sign autographs for some reason, nor does Teri Hatcher or Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett probably gets lots of creepy, stalkery guys who approach her. But what is Will Ferrell's problem with autographs?

Mark Cuban Wants New Dancing Shoes For Christmas

Marc Cuban wants some new dancing shoes for Christmas. And that's not all.

As for the wealthy themselves, many are asking for more basic gifts. Mark Cuban, the dot-com billionaire who recently appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," says he has three wishes this holiday season: An NBA trophy for the team he owns, the Dallas Mavericks; a 32-gigabyte flash drive; and a new pair of ballroom-dancing shoes.

Billionaire Sam Wyly, the tech baron and bookworm who recently purchased the tiny Explore Booksellers in Aspen, Colo., says he wants books for Christmas. All of them are nonfiction: "Flying Tigers: Claire Chennault and His American Volunteers, 1941-1942," by Daniel Ford; "Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came Into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming," by Paul Hawkin; and "Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility" by Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger.

One more thing: Mr. Wyly also wants his favorite pecan pie, baked by his assistant.

If you're coveting the new 32gb usb flash drive (and we certainly are) it's available for pre-order at Amazon.com for about $300.

Madonna Did Not Cancel Christmas

Guy Ritchie told Extra TV that his wife Madonna did not cancel Christmas at their house after all.

It turns out that Madonna is not the Grinch! Despite reports of Madonna canceling Christmas for the family, her husband Guy Ritchie tells Extra otherwise. Guys says that all their kids get 3 presents each during Christmas. Ritchie says, "So by the time they get to the third present they've had their sugar hit. As long as the kids get three presents at Christmas, everyone’s being happy."

And despite the fact that the family studies Kabbalah, they have not yet converted to Judaism so they don't celebrate Hanukkah either. "I have not converted to Judaism and neither has my wife," Ritchie said.

So, to recap: They study the ancient Jewish tradition of Kabbalah, but they're not Jewish and don't celebrate Hanukkah. But they do get three gifts at Christmas. We think Guy got in really big trouble for spouting his mouth off a couple of weeks ago about Madonna canceling Christmas; the headlines were so horrible that he had to correct himself. Or maybe he just meant that they don't do a huge Christmas anymore -- that was the "canceling" part. It's all very confusing. But at least little David Banda gets three Christmas presents -- so that's good.
