Well, it's certainly not American Idol. Or an Academy Award. But whatever makes Shar Jackson happy! The second most famous of Kevin Federline's exes rallied to beat Kendra Wilkinson of Girls Next Door fame for the Celebrity Rap Superstar title. Let's read what the big winner had to say.

Shar Jackson, best known for being K-Fed's jilted ex, is also making a name for herself on MTV's celebrity rap competition show. And while the actual program is like a lower-budget version of Dancing With The Stars, she has nevertheless allowed her relative success to get to her head.

Performing as Shar J on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar, Jackson gave a spirited performance on Thursday night of "Let It Blow," a rap she wrote herself.

With verse after verse extolling her many virtues, Jackson looked directly into the camera and rapped, "They should have had me open up at the VMAs!" – a sentiment that elicited screams of delight from the crowd.

Whoa there, Shar. So you're the best rapper on Celebrity Rap Superstar. Despite the show's title, that doesn't make you an actual celebrity, a rapper, or a superstar.

[People]

After briefly veering off course with a very famous white woman, Kevin Federline is back to his black D-lister ways. His newest conquest is Playboy Playmate Nicole Narian, whose previous claim to fame was starring in a sex tape with Colin Farrell. I guess we all have a type.

At club Opera, Nicole and Kevin put on their own show - kissing on the dance floor.

K-Fed had to leave early, but just two nights later he arranged to meet the beauty at another L.A. club, Area.

“They sat on the couch…” revealed a source… “She kissed him a few times.”

Later, says the insider, Nicole spent the night at Kevin’s house.

Hopefully, Shar Jackson had enough prior notice of this new relationship to tailor her PR strategy to include Kevin Federline's new conquest. It worked so well with Britney!

It's not a foolproof system, since a select few are publicity whores no matter their level of talent, success of fame, but one can usually tell a D-List celebrity by the relative enthusiasm with which they greet attention from the paparazzi.

Check out Shar Jackson's bright, beaming smile as she answers questions about her more famous baby daddy and his way more famous ex-wife. The only thing better would be if they actually asked her a question about herself.

Whatever small victory Shar Jackson gained by filming this video of herself taking a negative pregancy test can't really compare to the complete loss of dignity inherent in filming a video of yourself taking a pregnancy test. A simple "I'm not pregnant," would have sufficed, since the world has already stopped caring.

Dear Shar,
I'm sorry Miss Jackson, but this letter will not be very kind. See, I felt pretty bad for you a few years ago when Kevin Federline, your long-term man, ruthlessly left you for a then-hot pop star. Their love affair was splashed all over Web sites and tabloids the world over, and you became the poster child for jilted women everywhere. But, unfortunately, the sympathy ends there. Because you took that rejection and milked it for all of it's worth — and not in a constructive way. Instead of trying to parlay your new notoriety into some acting gigs or something useful, you just kind of talked to whatever journalist would give you the time of day and accepted invites to a bunch of parties.

Shar Jackson has hired a lawyer to defend herself against claims that she's pregnant with the child of the baby daddy she already shares with Britney Spears, Mr. Kevin Federline. If she sues Star Magazine, which was the first to report the pregnancy, maybe she will no longer have to pimp herself for blingy license plate frames like she did at the MTV Movie Awards gifting suite.

Shar, who denies the mag's claim, says her children are being affected by the rumors, and told TMZ through her rep, "When my kids hear things at school and then ask me if they are getting a new brother or sister, I have to put my foot down."

Based on her vehement denials and a gross offer to hand over an EPT test to Star editor Bonnie Fuller, she's probably telling the truth about not being pregnant. But it was so much more fun to think that she was.

Shar Jackson is many things. She's forgiving to a fault, publicity-seeking, and fertile. Oh, yeah. She's also pregnant with K-Fed's baby, which proves all of those things. Does no one use birth control when they sleep with this man? Cindy Adam's has the details.

Federline may have morning sickness, which could last for nine months when he reads this - but this is to tell him his on-again-off-again-and-for-sure-lately very on-again romance with Shar Jackson seems to have produced yet another baby between them. She's into her seventh week, and at the instant I write this he doesn't know. Star magazine is saying she's hoping this brings them back together as a family. Ugh.

If this is true, it gives ABC grounds to fire her from her new show, The Ex-Wives Club, on which she is supposed to teach jilted women how to move on from their exes and let go of the past. Clearly, she's a pro at that.

*Update: Shar says it's not true. We'll see in a few months.
