Glee

Last night we fell in love with Glee star Naya Rivera at the spring fling.

Banners, balloons and silver streamers transformed New York’s trendy Gansevoort Park Lounge into a school dance for the Samsung AT&T Spring Fling, and MTV was there to greet Glee’s Rivera, Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale, who are in town for the final American shows of the Glee Live! In Concert Tour, at the Nassau Coliseum and Izod Center, respectively.

The tour, which moves to the U.K. next week for a series of dates in London, Manchester and Dublin, is the second road show for the cast, who visited theaters in the U.S. last summer. This year’s tour is a much larger affair.

“We’re playing arenas now instead of theaters,” Rivera told us. “I guess the easiest way to put it is, when you leave the dressing room and walk up and see the thousands of people and thousands of cameras, that’s the one thing that’s different. Just the amount of people. It’s overwhelming and so much fun.”

Asked if the change was intimidating, Rivera laughed, “No, it actually kind of revs me up, it gives me more adrenaline.”

Not surprisingly, high school was a pre-eminent theme of the night, as teen soap "Gossip Girl" walked away with six surfboards, including Choice TV Show, Drama and TV Breakout Show.

Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge

So far, Jamie Lynn Spears appears to have taken the troubles faced by her sister, Britney, to heart as she celebrates the birth of her first child. The 17-year-old singer/actress, who delivered a baby girl on Thursday, recently bought a house near her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, and settled down with fiance Casey Aldridge, 19. She also tried to stay well away from the glare of the Hollywood paparazzi as she prepared to be a mom.

In addition to getting her GED earlier this year, the "Zoey 101" star has said she plans to take a hiatus from work in order to concentrate on being a mother. But that hasn't stopped some social critics from lamenting the seemingly glamorous take on teen pregnancy some high school students might be getting from the tabloid coverage of Spears' baby, as well as the nonjudgmental messages of recent accidental-pregnancy movies "Juno" and "Knocked Up."

Officials at Massachusetts' Gloucester High School were at a loss to explain why the teen pregnancy rate at their school had more than quadrupled over the past year. According to a report in the new issue of Time magazine, the dramatic increase is due, in part, to a pact among eight girls from the school, none older than 16, who vowed to get pregnant and raise their children together.

The girls' plan shocked parents and administrators at the 1,200-student school and sparked a still-simmering debate about contraception in the fiercely Catholic fishing town's schools, the Boston Globe reported.
