Casey Aldridge Ex: 'He Was Having Sex With Me During Jamie Lynn Spears' Pregnancy'

...more Britney Spears �

Jamie Lynn Spears has reason not to trust her boyfriend Casey Aldridge - His ex-girlfriend has come forward claiming that they had sexual activity while the Zoey one hundred one star was pregnant.

Kelli Dawsome, a 28-year old, reveals to In Touch that the late young forefather loves her and they were having sex only three months before Jamie Lynn gave birth to Maddie Briann.

She admits: "I see him all the time, at least once a week... We still have feelings for each other. I still sexual love him and I think he loves me."

Speaking nearly her first encounter with 19-year old Casey in 2006, Kelli explains: "We were both really attracted to each other. He totally instigated it and pursued me. His friends would tell me that he liked me, that he persuasion I was pretty."

But the big jounce is possibly Dawson's claims that she had sex with Aldridge shortly subsequently it was announced that then-16-year-old Jamie Lynn was pregnant in December.

She recalls: "It happened very casually. He came by the house and I went off with him in his elevator car and had sex."

Dawson claims she over the romance earlier this year because "it just didn't feel right".

She says: "He had to deal with the baby coming, and it had to stop. (But) even after we stopped having sexual urge, we would still osculation occasionally."

She now has nada to do with her ex, just she can't believe he's happy with Britney's small sister: "I think that he is trapped. When I see Jamie Lynn doing interviews and talking about how happy she is with Casey, it seems so fake. She's trying to paint a pretty picture, but it's messy art.

"I want the best for him (Aldridge). I would never trap him into a life with me. I would want Casey to be with me for the right reasons - because he wanted to."

Ashra was the bit phase of the spacy Krautrock outfit Ash Ra Tempel, where founder (and, sometimes, fillet of sole member) Manuel GÃ¶ttsching refocused the project's focal distributor point and began to pore more heavily on electronics. Especially with the revolver membership, GÃ¶ttsching had constantly been the focal point in time of Ash Ra Tempel, making their mind-bending psychedelic jams into showcases for his cosmic guitar work on. However, at the offset of the Ashra eRA, GÃ¶ttsching was literally a one-man set, backup his guitar explorations with synths and sequencers that made his music profound cleaner and more than pleasantly reflective. Ash Ra Tempel's status as a departure business organisation was in doubt by the ending of 1973, having fallen into a GÃ¶ttsching-plus-guest-star blueprint; GÃ¶ttsching released a solo album under his possess key out in 1974, Inventions for Electric Guitar, where his interest in electronic music began to clear. Less a regrouping than a renaming, Ashra's inaugural release was 1976's New Age of Earth, one of GÃ¶ttsching's finest efforts under whatever distinguish. The 1977 followup, Blackouts, was as well lone solo. For 1979's Correlations, Ashra became a full fledged band for the first time, with guitarist Lutz Ulbrich and drummer Harald Grosskopf officially joining the batting order. However, after 1980's Belle Alliance, the mathematical group went on hiatus. GÃ¶ttsching recorded the proto-techno masterpiece E2-E4 under his have mark, and Ashra didn't seem again until a 1989 reunion for the album Walkin' the Desert. Tropical Heat followed in 1991, and the mathematical mathematical group continued to record sporadically through the '90s.

Von Furstenberg courts Europe with ruffles and bows

FLORENCE, Italy (Reuters) - New York-based designer Diane von Furstenberg sent models traipsing down a lush garden runway in breezy chiffon dresses and ruffled headbands to mark her first fashion show in her native Europe.

Returning to the region that produced the first "wrap" dress that made her famous and courting European customers while the dollar struggles against the euro, Furstenberg showed off her pre-spring collection of travel wear in an open-air gala in a manicured garden tucked away in the Renaissance city.

"I do sell in Europe and have shops everywhere and but it just so happened that they invited me and I accepted and after I accepted I thought, this makes sense, this is where it started," von Furstenberg told Reuters.

"Going back to Florence was a very nostalgic thing for me. My first factory was 25 km from here, and the wrap dress was invented here," she said.

The Belgian-born designer had models bounce down the catwalk in flirty black and white sundresses paired with chunky brown or gold heels, while oversized bows and satiny headbands added to the girlish look.

Flowy dresses in bold geometric patterns splashed with sunflower yellow and engine red draped over the body like a sarong, while color ran amok on one number that featured bold stripes of pink, ocean blue, red and white.

"It's not winter, it's not spring, it's transitional and it's nice, easy pieces, and season-less," said von Furstenberg, who became a princess after her marriage to Prince Egon von Furstenberg, which has since ended.

She is now married to media mogul Barry Diller.

Grammy Museum celebrates music's legacy

Festivities to take place for one week in December

The Grammy Museum will open its doors in Los Angeles in December with a weeklong celebration of the history of music.
The Recording Academy and AEG Live said Thursday that the party will kick off Dec. 3 with a VIP reception and will culminate with festivities recognizing the Grammy Awards' 50-year legacy.

The four-floor, 32,000-square-foot site will feature interactive, permanent and traveling exhibits and will be housed within L.A. Live, the downtown sports entertainment and residential district.

In your ears

Mp3s are the Hot Pockets of the digital age; consumers are devouring them by the gigabyte.
But thanks to a deal struck between rock star Peter Gabriel and digital pioneer Bowers & Wilkins, Britain’s leading manufacturer of high-end loudspeakers, digital-music downloaders are about to experience a gourmet alternative.
Launching this week, the online Bowers & Wilkins Music Club will offer an exclusive, full-length, digital-only new release each month featuring artists cherry-picked by Gabriel and recorded at his Real World Studios complex in Bath, England.

What’s more, they will be so-called DRM-free (digital rights management) files that carry no copy protection and can be moved freely between devices and easily burned to CD. They’ll come complete with artwork and, best of all, in an audiophile-quality lossless format for a sound experience beyond that of even top-shelf mp3s.
Music Club subscriptions (available at bowers-wilkins.com) cost $59.95 annually and trial offers are available.
“People don’t realize that when you encode sound files, you’ve got choices,” Bowers & Wilkins’ Danny Haikin said by phone from the United Kingdom. “Up until this point there’s been an emphasis on width rather than depth. In other words, mp3s take up very little (hard drive) room, but in the process of compressing a file down to such a tiny size, the music’s finer nuances are lost. The beauty of a lossless file format is that the compression system doesn’t depreciate the music in any way.”
But a promise of much-improved sound quality may not be enough to bend the public ear away from the standard mp3 format. To do that, the Club plans to offer not merely exclusive recordings, but accessible ones.
Mike Large, director of operations at Real World Studios, dreamed up the venture with Haikin over drinks one night. He says Music Club will offer a wider scope of styles than the world music for which Gabriel’s studio and its Real World label are known.
“Our only criteria is that the music be good,” said Large.“Sure, you can see Peter’s taste coming through. But we’ve also had to go about this in a way that makes commercial sense.”
The club’s introductory offering is “Bought for a Dollar, Sold for a Dime,” an urban-blues affair by Little Axe, also known as Skip McDonald, an original member of the Sugar Hill house band who played on “The Message,” “White Lines” and other classics. Plans call for future releases by indie-rockers Grindhouse (featuring Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood’s son Jesse), big-voiced Brit singer/songwriter Gwyneth Herbert and guitar virtuoso Tom Kerstens. Large and Haikin also would like to release live sessions and remastered classic recordings.
Large says the Music Club has had a positive side effect on Gabriel, whose fans have been waiting since 2002 for him to release a recording of non-film-related new material.
“The fire has been lit,” said Large. “Peter is working on a new record. The working title is ‘Input/Output’ and the CD will likely see a 2009 release date.”
