The skeletons in the Spears family closet keep on coming.

William Spears, Britney’s uncle and younger brother of dad Jamie, claims Jamie Lynn was an accident, just like her unborn baby.

The outspoken relative, who lives in a camper van, says Jamie was shocked when he found out wife Lynne was pregnant as he had a vasectomy after she gave birth to Britney, their second child. He said: “Jamie got awfully mad. He said it couldn’t be his.”

Williams alleges Jamie demanded a DNA test, which eventually proved he was the baby’s biological father.

He added: “That’s why they named her Jamie Lynn, to kind of make the point that she was from both of them.”

Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle is reportedly dating actor Josh Hartnett.

The pair have sparked romance rumours after being seen together on a number occasions in Los Angeles last week, including drinks at temporary Oscar venue Blanco 101.

A source said: “The whole of Hollywood was talking about Josh and this pretty Irish girl. Not everyone knows Girls Aloud here so people were trying to work out who this stunning girl was. They were spotted at Blanco 101 looking very much like a couple and chatting over drinks until the early hours.”

Nadine – whose on/off relationship with ‘Desperate Housewives’ hunk Jesse Metcalfe’ ended in January – was supposed to be flying back to the UK for the BRIT Awards earlier this month, but was forced to remain in the US when she lost her passport. Sources say the 22-year-old singer quickly got over her disappointment thanks to her new friend Josh.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old actor – who previously dated Scarlett Johansson and has been romantically linked to Rihanna, Kirsten Dunst and Rumer Willis
- was left red-faced when he was forced to fly in economy class back to New York following the Oscars.

A source said: “The flight was so overbooked there was no way he was going to get upgraded, but that didn’t stop him trying. There were so many stars on the flight, when he went up to the counter to ask about a waiting list they told him, ‘You’re number 55.’ ”

It is a freak accident that took the life of reality star Heigh Montag’s stepbrother. He died Thursday while working at a Colorado hotel. He just came back from serving a term with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He apparently was cleaning snow from the roof of the Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel on Thursday. He undid his safety clip to move across the roof, and the ice he was standing on shattered. He slid down the roof but caught the safety rope as he fell. However, he was knocked off of the rope by falling snow.

Tiger Lily Hutchence is set to star in a Hollywood movie.

The 11-year-old – whose parents Paula Yates and INXS rocker Michael Hutchence are both deceased – is the favourite to land the lead role in ‘Eloise in Paris’ alongside Uma Thurman after impressing industry scouts.

A source said: “The movie producers scoured schools and drama departments across Britain, America and Canada for the perfect child for the film and Tiger Lily has been placed on a shortlist of 10. Eloise has to be sassy, streetwise and lovable, although she also has a naughty side.”

The youngster – whose full name is Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily – will go for her final audition next week. ‘Eloise in Paris’ is based on the famous 50s children’s books by Kay Thompson. The plot will see Uma play Eloise’s nanny, who follows her charge to Paris for Fashion Week, where she ends up joining Europe’s top designers on a hunt for a stolen dress. Should Tiger Lily win the part she may have to dye her auburn hair blond, as Eloise is known for being fair-haired.

Her mother’s ex-husband Sir Bob Geldof – who was divorced from Paula in 1996 – has raised Tiger Lily, since her parents’ tragic deaths
