FOREVER BRITNEY In Touch cover We have nothing funny to say about Heath Ledger's death. He's our all-time favorite gay cowboy/suicidal prison guard/Grimm brother, and the whole situation's just sad.

And as for adoption, it's more like J-Lynn is just gonna let mamma Lynne babysit—like a lot. And with her at the helm, what could go wrong?
