Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's lil sis, is pregnant!
Jamie Lynn Spears, 16, has confirmed to OK Magazine in an interview that hits newstands tomorrow, that she is pregnant. She is the star of Nickelodeon's " Zoey 101" and the little sister of Britney Spears.
When things like this happen as they do, my concern is for the little girls that look up to her and how do the parents explain it to them? I get that girls her age get pregnant all the time but most that do, don't have a huge following of little girls that are impressionable and want to be just like them. Same thing with Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical.......she took naked pics that got out and I had a friend tell me that her 8 year-old cousin asked her about it. What do you say about it that will encourage them not to be like them? 61 comments from 28 users

I wonder who the baby's daddy is? Maybe one of her high school teachers? And I wonder if it was the school who told the parents she was pregnant?

well, not surprised, talk about bad parenting? I thought christian kids didnt do this sort of thing, I thought they waiting until marriage. Maybe they should have worn protection and used other birth control. And she will make money for being nothing more than trash like her sister. posted by

"I thought christian kids didnt do this sort of thing," Christians are not immune from making mistakes or making bad choices.
Of course, if she'd have been GAY, this wouldn't have been possible. Is that more like what you want to say?

Wow.. I saw that headline and thought it was going to be sattire but...it is true. It's not unusual for 16 year olds to be sexually active in this day and age... I wonder if she was using any type of birth control and it failed, hopefully she can use this situation to educate other teens about the variety of BC that suits them. But overall, I commend her for keeping her baby. posted by

Any chance to strike a low blow against Christians, right? I don't remember Christianity being an issue here. Was it part of a headline I missed? SIXTEEN YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN GIRL IS PREGNANT, or was it just a feeble attempt to get in another dig? Sheesh! edited; seems we were on the same wave legnth, old blue. posted by

Lynne Spears's Parenting Book 'Delayed Indefinitely'TUESDAY DECEMBER 18, 2007 10:15 PM ESTLynne Spears's book about raising her famous daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn has been put on hold, the publisher confirms to PEOPLE."The book is delayed indefinitely. It's delayed, not cancelled," says a spokeswoman for Thomas Nelson, which publishes inspirational books and Bibles. It had been scheduled for a spring 2008 release and was put on hold last week, says the rep. On Tuesday, news hit that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn is pregnant with her boyfriend's child. Publishers' Weekly described the book as "Lynne Spears's personal story of raising high-profile children while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community." The publisher declined to comment on whether the focus of the book would change in light of the pregnancy announcement. "We are standing behind Lynn at this time and understand that she needs time with her family – we support that," says the spokeswoman. posted by

Again I say, Girls don't get pregnant to have a baby, They do it because they are in love.

msemilyh : I all most posted that also, but decided against it. ColorNine: It isnt an attack on christians, The Spears girls have always talked about waiting until marriage and no primartial sex. She meet the guy at her church, and she has in other articles held herself up as a christian. posted by

Stickbugs, the funniest part about Lynn Spear's book is that it's getting printed and released by a Christian publisher. I'm willing to bet their collective spincters tightened up on news of the pregnancy.

OB..sorry I missed that. Blame it on a bad bout of the flu that I'm still recovering from. (or is it from which I am still recovering?) Gotta love that proper grammar. And yes..I know that sarcasm isn't like you at all. (cough) Moving along..The sick thing is that dingbat mother will probably make a fortune just from people curious as to what she'llsay. With her mothering talents, you should be able to get all the info you need from the jacket cover. posted by

So true, Lingtaowoo, so true. And what does it say about our society when those are the kind of people that we want to read about or hear about? Not all of us, fortunately, but so many people that it leaves my head shaking in wonder.

Wow 19 year old live in boyfriend with a 16 year old....well no wonder she got pregnant. GREAT parenting skills. What a book that would be. There's no way a Christian publisher would print this book now. She'll have to get a new publisher. "Indefinitely" probably means never.... posted by

She meet the guy at her church, and she has in other articles held herself up as a christian. My buddy Gary in San Diego signed his sixteen-year-old daughter up for a Christian program that was intended to - among other things - keep teenage girls from getting pregnant. She met a young man on a trip to the Pacific Northwest and got pregnant (Gary wasn't too upset, though. He said he likes "the grandpa thing.") posted by

And I bet the boyfriend will not be arrested for statutory rape. Several years ago my friends son (18) got his girlfriend (16) pregnant. They got married with the full knowledge of all parents. After baby was born the kids split and the boy asked for a divorce. The mom of the girl then filed a complaint with the BPD/DA for statutory rape - the young man was arrested!!! He got probation, totally took responsibility and paid child support. They were married for pete's sake! posted by

Stickbugs, the funniest part about Lynn Spear's book is that it's getting printed and released by a Christian publisher. I'm willing to bet their collective spincters tightened up on news of the pregnancy. Not necessarily. It could be like the guy who wrote "How to Invest in Real Estate" He mentioned you as a "Good Bad Example" or "What Not to Do" The more pitfalls and pratfalls that befall your RE "career" the better it is for him (by way of example) posted by

Maybe Britney can give her little sister a few tips on parenting. If it weren't for their singing careers and money, we would put this down as just another example of ignorant women begetting ignoriant daughters, begetting ignorant children. The good news for taxpayers is, they aren't on welfare, foodstamps or WIC. posted by

he likes "the grandpa thing." How much is he going to like the 'granpa thing' when he ends up supporting the daughter and child or gets left totally with the child to raise because daughter took off?????? That didn't happen. The young man moved to San Diego for a while, then the two parents and baby moved to Washington. The little boy is six years old now. posted by

And the reason for my remark earlier: from tzm.com Now, a source at the Enquirer has leaked us the letter Jamie Lynn's lawyers sent them at the time. It's priceless! It reads: “Ms. Spears is a devout Christian with a spotless reputation, who lives in accordance with the highest moral and ethical standards in accordance with her faith. There is no “rumor” concerning Ms. Spears’ (non-existent) pregnancy, except perhaps for the baseless “rumor” just now being created by the National Enquirer. Ms. Spears is not pregnant. It is pathetic for the National Enquirer to attempt to create a wholly baseless “rumor” that Ms. Spears is pregnant, so it can run a malicious story and false story which would be emotionally devastating to a morally upright 16 year old girl.” posted by
