Jamie Lynn's Baby Countdown!

As Britney Spears continues her recovery in L.A. � going to the gym,
the recording studio and taking occasional acting jobs (her guest appearances on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother could earn her an Emmy nod) � her little sis, Jamie Lynn Spears and her boyfriend Casey Aldridge have been preparing for the arrival of their baby girl.

They've moved into their new home in Liberty, Miss., the town where Casey grew up and most of his family still lives. It's only 30 minutes from Kentwood, where mom Lynne Spears lives at Serenity, the estate Britney owns and where Jamie Lynn was raised.

The couple's new $300,000 house has four bedrooms, a large yard and a swimming pool, something Jamie Lynn told OK! was an absolute essential.

"I love to swim," she said of her favorite exercise. Britney will get a tour of Jamie Lynn's new home but will stay at Serenity with her mama, Lynne. Although she'd love to visit for an extended time, she'll return to L.A. after just a few days.

"Britney will almost certainly have to juggle some of her visitations with her kids while she's off seeing her sister and new niece," an insider tells OK!. "She's not going to want to miss too many of those."

But don't think the singer isn't chomping at the bit to meet her new little niece!
Sources say Brit is set to hop on a chartered jet as soon as she knows that Jamie Lynn, is in labor and has already packed her bags.

Ever since Britney, 26, made a quick visit to her hometown of Kentwood, La., on May 3 for her 17-year-old sister's baby shower, the girls have been in regular contact, mostly texting, about the pending birth of Jamie Lynn's baby girl.

While there are no plans for Britney to be in the delivery room, she hopes to make it to Louisiana before Jamie Lynn delivers.

"As soon as she knows Jamie Lynn is in labor, Britney and her dad will be on a plane," a source close to the family tells OK!.

Australia's Midnight Oil brought a new sentiency of political and social immediateness to pop music: non only did instigative hits like "Beds Are Burning" and "Blue Sky Mine" bring planetary tending to the plight of, severally, aboriginal settlers and impoverished workers, but the radical as well place its money where its mouth was -- in addition to mounting benefit performances for groups like Greenpeace and Save the Whales, frontman Peter Garrett regular ran for the Australian Senate on the Nuclear Disarmament Party ticket.


The band formed in Sydney in 1971 as Farm, and originally comprised guitarists Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey, drummer Rob Hirst and bassist Andrew "Endure" James; Garrett, a law of nature pupil known for his seven-foot-tall stature and shaved head, pretended vocal duties in 1975, and the radical before long rechristened itself Midnight Oil. After months of sporadic gigs, they began fashioning the rounds to area record companies; undermentioned a string of rejections, the chemical group formed its have label, Powderworks, and issued their self-titled debut -- a taut, fervent assembling of guitar tilt which quick established the Midnight Oil sound -- in 1978.


After declaring their independence from the music industry, the Oils grew progressively active and plainspoken in the political domain; later on acting in resistance to u excavation, they supported the Tibet Council in front turn their attentions to the unjust practices of the local music manufacture, and formed their possess engagement agency in response to the monopoly exerted by area agents and promoters. With their 1979 soph effort Head Injuries, the banding scored their first hit single, "Cold Cold Change," and earned a gold record. James left the band the following class due to wellness problems; with new bassist Peter Gifford, they cut the EP Bird Noises, some other chart succeeder.


With 1981's Place Without a Postcard (recorded with manufacturer Glyn Johns), Midnight Oil achieved pt status on the strength of the smash "Cease-fire Day," which won the group an American deal with Columbia Records.

Participation in the Artists United Against Apartheid cast followed, prima directly into Midnight Oil's increased interest in the battles of Australia's aboriginal settlers and a tour, dubbed "Black Fella White Fella," with the aborigine group the Warumpi Band.


The aborigines' troth came to the prow on 1987's Diesel and Dust, the Oils' breakthrough record book; sparked by the hit single "Beds Are Burning," the album reached the U.S. Top 20 and made the band a menage commodity. After bassist Dwayne "Castanets" Hillman (ex-Swingers) replaced Gifford, Midnight Oil returned with 1990's Blue Sky Mining, which they followed with a concert outside of the Exxon corporation's Manhattan offices in protestation the company's handling of the Alaskan oil color slop. (A film of the operation highborn Blackened Rain Falls was later released, with net profit loss to Greenpeace.) The album World and Sun and Moon appeared in 1993, followed three years later by Breathe. Midnight Oil next resurfaced in 1998 with Redneck Wonderland. The Real Thing, only available in Australia, followed in 2001. It was a solid accumulation of new songs and live tracks from Midnight Oil's glorious work at the Metro Theatre in Sydney. Capricornia, issued on Liquid 8 in springiness 2002, marked the band's fourteenth album of their vocation. In December, Peter Garrett announced his split from the isthmus after 25 years.
