"Dear Bristol: Hang in there......xoxo, Jamie Lynn"

Sarah Palin
Oh Baby! The Spears-Palin Connection

By Roxanne Roberts
We're now skating the fine line between fact and satire: Jamie Lynn Spears -- the 17-year-old lil' sis of Britney who had a daughter in June -- has sent a baby gift to 17-year-old Bristol Palin because she, like, totally KNOWS what's it's like to be a celebrity unwed mother.

Spears (actually her mother Lynne) called Beverly Hills baby boutique Petit Tresor looking for something nice (but not THAT nice; $100 or less) and settled on white burp cloths with pink writing, a spokesman for the store confirmed today. The package, with a note reading, "Dear Bristol: Hang in there......xoxo, Jamie Lynn" was shipped off to the Alaska Capitol building.

The McCain campaign put Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in the infamous "Celebrity" ad, now the Spears family has interjected itself into the mix. What's next? A double wedding? Off-white for the brides?

The best news: Saturday Night Live writers already have enough material for the entire season.
