“Acting is all about honesty. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” – George Burns. Ever wanted to act? Have you caught the acting bug?

Happy birthday, Jamie Lynn Spears! You are 20 years old now, and after you got pregnant at 16, who would have thought that Britney would actually one-up you in the crazy department? At least you can take solace in the fact that the Lohans make your family look absolutely normal.
