For Jellybean Insiders, Preparations (and Waiting) Continue

As another day passes without the Jellybean making her debut, her inside circle continues to step up their preparations for the big day. One industry observer: "In some ways, you can't fully prepare for everything. A debut is reasonably unpredictable -- you don't know how the debut will play out or how the public will receive a young star. I think her parents/co-agents are probably going through their to-do list over and over again."

As enthusiasm grows, experts have warned that, while most believe the debut is imminent, it could be still a week or so of waiting. Undeterred, several members of the paparazzi have begun to collect at Sibley Memorial Hospital where the debut is expected to take place. The Bean Patch learned Sibley is the same location the Jellybean's father made his (much less heralded) debut over 35 years ago.
