Casey Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears' boyfriend and baby daddy, is in stable condition after a terrible car crash early Sunday morning, sources tell E! News.
The 19-year-old Aldridge was driving in his Ford F-150 truck around 1:30 a.m. when he apparently lost control. He and two male friends were returning home from a fishing trip.
According to reports, Aldridge cracked his skull. One pal suffered a broken collarbone.
Sheriff officials in Tensas Parish, La., said that a single-car crash occurred in their area, however, they would not provide any further information. Meanwhile, a representative at Riverland Medical Facility in Ferriday, La., confirmed that Aldridge was treated earlier at their facility, but that "he is not here now."
Spears, 18, has been spotted at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, where Aldridge has presumably been transferred.
The couple, who are engaged to be married but haven't set a date, have a 10-month-old daughter, Maddie.

TWILIGHT LOVERS CAUGHT DATING
E! Online spotted Twilight costars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart doing some grocery shopping in Vancouver this weekend. They were seen cruising the aisles holding hands and checking out the tabloids. The reason that this even gets a mention is that Kristen has a boyfriend - actor Michael Angarano, 21. I wonder how he feels about Kristen's new found 'friendship' with Rob. I imagine he's less than pleased.
NEW MOON NEWS
'Twilight' sequel: New details on 'New Moon'

Summit Entertainment has tentatively slated Nov. 20, 2009, as the release date for New Moon, the Twilight sequel, which means any director who signs on to replace Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has to be in Vancouver by Dec. 15 to begin 12 weeks of preproduction before a mid-March start date. Reports have speculated that Hardwicke was fired for being difficult on set, but sources close to her suggest Summit's aggressive production schedule turned her off. "She'd love to do the sequel if she could do it better than Twilight,” says one. “It became clear that Summit didn’t have those same priorities."
Indeed, at press time the second movie appeared to have little more than a rough first-draft working script. As Summit’s production president Erik Feig told EW during Twilight’s record-busting first weekend, “There is that first...script. All the finesse that turns a screenplay into a movie hasn’t happened yet.” Two weeks later, Summit is saying it’s happy with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg’s progress.
Another of Hardwicke’s primary concerns was that hunky vampire Edward remains MIA throughout New Moon’s middle portion. In her own opening-weekend interview, she told EW, “You have to get the chemistry as strong between Jacob and Bella as it was between Bella and Edward. You also have to do something with that arc: She’s in love with somebody, he disappears, she falls in love with someone else, and the first guy comes back. Movies like Pearl Harbor have tried it. It absolutely didn’t work.”
With or without Hardwicke, Summit faces other snags. Two sources tell EW the studio doesn’t want to rehire baby-faced Taylor Lautner (pictured) as Jacob, though Lautner’s agent has apparently reached out to the imaging company behind The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in an attempt to demonstrate to Summit how a digitally bulked-up Lautner could work. (Summit says it won’t make a decision until a new filmmaker is on board.) There’s also the matter of finding a cast of Native American actors to play Jacob’s werewolf clan — a difficult challenge Hardwicke was also faced with before settling on Lautner, who isn’t completely Native American. And with a slightly increased budget of $50 million — much of which is assumed will go to leads asking for heftier paydays, location shoots in Italy, and ramped-up F/X — Summit will have to scrimp somewhere.
So what director would want to take on such a big headache? Well, at press time, an offer was out to Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass), who put Summit on the map years ago when its foreign sales operation made tons of cash off of his first film, American Pie. (One source says Weitz has already had conversations with below-the-line crew for New Moon.) “We are in a recession,” reminds one Hollywood insider. “It’s a hit franchise. Whoever steps into it is guaranteed a $100 million gross. Everyone wants this movie.” Adds an exec at another studio, “You’d have to have a very high standard for art, hate the movie business, and hate money to walk off this sequel.”

MIDNIGHT SUN RUMORS
Midnight Sun: Edward's Version of Twilight
August 28, 2008
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

____________________________________________________
June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerning Midnight Sun, I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun.
____________________________________________________
Midnight Sun is an exercise in character development that got wildly out of hand (as do many of my projects).
While I was procrastinating some real editing work (I'm always at my most creative when procrastinating), I started to wonder how the first chapter of Twilight would read if it were written from Edward's perspective. There is so much more to his side of the story than there is to Bella's in that first chapter. After all, Bella only knows that an incredibly gorgeous boy is looking at her funny. Meanwhile, Edward is suffering through one of the most momentous days of his very long life! First there's the shock and frustration of not being able to hear Bella's thoughts, then the wild, monstrous reaction to her scent, followed by the incredible expenditure of self-control that it takes to not kill her... His side of Bella's first day at Forks High School is a hundred times more exciting than her own.
Though I didn't have time to work on it right away, the idea of letting Edward have his chance to speak stuck with me. I couldn't shake it. I found myself thinking his words in the middle of the night and jotting down phrases he would use while I was waiting in line at the post office. As soon as I finished my real work, I sat down and let Edward get his say.
Writing chapter one, "First Sight," from Edward's point of view was an exciting experience; I actually had my pulse racing as I typed. When I finished, I was truly pleased with my creation. Here was the other side of the story that no one knew. Here was the truth of what Edward had been through. I felt like I knew my Edward even better, and I was sure his dialogue would be more insightful in future novels. The end. Exercise over.
Ha ha. It wasn't long before I was thinking about Edward in Alaska, Edward upon his return to Forks, Edward's side of that fateful conversation in Biology... Chapter two started to write itself in my head, while I kept telling myself that I didn't have time to write a book for fun when I had real books to write. (My mother seconded that opinion—she thinks I work too hard).
But when a story demands to be written, there's no way to resist. And the more I wrote, the more I became convinced that Edward deserved to have his story told. At first I was planning to post it all here on my website, but I changed my mind for two reasons, the most important being that Edward's version is much longer than Bella's—Edward over-thinks everything. I'm not even half way done, and the page count is near three hundred. The second reason that I changed my mind is a little bit silly—I just would really love to have a pretty, matching, bound version of Midnight Sun to put beside Twilight on top of my desk. So I'm going to try to have it published as a complementary novel to Twilight. It will take a while, because I can only work on it between editing stints, but I hope that someday I'll be able to see Midnight Sun on the bookstore shelves next to Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and etc... (Fueling my belief that Midnight Sun is worthy of publishing is my mother's about face—after reading the first eleven chapters, she thinks it's magic and says I should go for it.)
And here I was going to write just a short paragraph of introduction. You see what I mean about things getting out of hand?
Because I just can't wait out the years it will take to reach publication for people to begin to understand Edward, here is my original character development exercise, Edward's version of Bella's first day at Forks High School, the first chapter of Midnight Sun*:

*Please remember this is an unedited rough draft. It is full of typos and all the other flaws that unedited manuscripts have. Enjoy it for what it is, but know that the final copy will be infinitely superior.
JOE JONAS WITH CAMILLA BELLE:DOGER DATE
Joe Jonas & Camilla Belle: Dodger Date!
Joe Jonas shows off his 5 o’clock shadow with girlfriend Camilla Belle as they have a baseball Dodger date at Opening Day at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on Monday (April 13).
The other Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Nick and Frankie (the bonus Jonas) were also on-hand for a day at the ballpark! The Jonas Brothers sat in the Dugout Club, front row over the visitors dugout. The Dodgers ended the day on a high note as they beat the San Francisco Giants, 11-1. Looks like the Dodgers are on their way to another great season!
The JoBros also posed with Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt and donned DodgersWIN (Women’s Initiatives Network), caps. Women’s Initiative Network was started by Jamie.
10+ pictures inside of the Jonas Brothers‘ Dodger date…
EMMA ROBERTS TEEN ISSUE
April 2009 Issue Of Teen Vogue!
On dating musicians:
“I’m looking to musicians now. I used to have a crush on Nick [Jonas], but he’s kind of making his rounds in Hollywood, and I don’t know if I like that.”
On fashion designers she digs:
“I love Chloé, Graham & Spencer, and the Row, and I like those tight, Herve Leger–type styles.”
On her famous aunt, Julia Roberts:
“Some people look at me and think, She’s just Julia Roberts’s niece. So I wanted to do something smaller and edgier, something that would show I really am an actress. I’m not in competition with her; she’s one of the biggest movie stars in the world! I’m just doing what I love to do and having fun with it.”
On the things she hoped to accomplish by age 16:
“I remember being twelve and thinking, ‘I can’t wait until I’m sixteen, because by then I’m going to have a car, a driver’s license, a really cool boyfriend, and boobs’. Now I’m eighteen and I have none of those things. None! That was my twelve-year-old self’s checklist, and nothing has been checked off.”
On her dream roles:
“I’m into producing and I would love to do a role like Kate Hudson’s in Almost Famous. I have this obscure fantasy of forming an all-girl band, like the Spice Girls, and starting a music revolution. I guess that’s something I’ll just have to take up in my spare time.”
Hope she won't turn into Lindsay.

Sure, most girls would kill for the chance to be in the same room as Robert Pattinson. But for a girl like Miley Cyrus, who has already dated a Jonas Brother and is currently dating a model/musician, making time with RPattz isn't at the top of her list of things to do.
"I'm not a huge Rob Pattinson fan," she says in the new issue of Teen Vogue. "Girls aren't really in love with Rob; they're in love with ['Twilight' hero] Edward."
Turning from fictional heroes to her real-life love drama, Cyrus told the magazine that she still hangs out with ex Nick Jonas and even goes to karaoke with him and his brothers. "Joe singing 'Bootylicious' was the most amazing thing I've ever seen," she said.
But the conversation always goes back to the aforementioned model-musician, Justin Gaston, whom she's currently dating. She confessed that she didn't notice him the first time she saw him. "I believe in love at first sight. It just hasn't happened to me," the 16-year-old said. "I walked right by him. Love doesn't come from attraction, but from somewhere deeper. [Justin] is my best friend."
Cyrus also dished about women she likes, including Scarlett Johansson. "She is, honestly, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," she said. "I went to 'He's Just Not That Into You' with Justin, and I was covering his eyes."
Cyrus also has a bevy of female BFFs, like fellow Disney stars Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, as well as country music sensation Taylor Swift. And although she's frequently disputed the rumors of feuds with all of them, she did note that career-related tension can build up among her peers.
"Demi and I are the most alike; I'm anti-drama," Miley said, adding that she likes "to keep my friendship separate [from career]. Otherwise, competition starts."

Our little Miss Miley graces the cover of next months Billboard Magazine. Inside the mag she talks about her book, Miles To Go, her TV show, Hannah Montana, and her friends.
About Miles To Go, Miley said in the interview for the magazine, “It’s just an honor for people to be able to relate to me and my music—and not so much the character anymore. I can’t be Hannah Montana forever. I have to have something after this. I can’t do this when I’m 30.”
About Hannah Montana she said, “This movie was never meant to be the end of Hannah Montana. The thing is, a lot of people put where the show’s future lays in my hands—and it’s not up to me. It’s up to Disney and whether they want more episodes, and we hope that they do.”
And about not having much time to spend with her friends, “This is, like, the first time I’ve seen all my friends in seven months. It’s hard, man. With all the stuff that goes on with this business, I only want to do something if I absolutely love it.”
Looks like Miley is growing up and trying to put the past behind her, or just cover it up!
