Just about six short weeks ago Newsweek online profiled Jamie-Lynn Spears, Ms. Britney's little sister.

Jamie Lynn Spears wants to be known as a great actress—no drama, antics or tabloids involved. "I just want to have a successful career," she says. "Not a crazy one." While her older sister Britney has been a cottage industry of celebrity gossip lately (she lost custody of her kids Monday), Jamie Lynn has been focusing on her professional aspirations. She's kicking off her third season of starring in "Zoey 101," a cable hit on Nickelodeon that has earned her a Kids' Choice Award for top actress. The October 2007 issue of Us Weekly names the young star one of the 2007 Hollywood Powerhouse Players. Not bad for a 16-year-old high-school sophomore.



People Magazine reports this week that Jamie-Lynn Spears is 12 weeks pregnant. Whoops. There goes that dream of "no drama."

Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, the magazine reported.

Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney’s young sons, told the magazine: “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious. She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.”



Ugh. I find this so depressing. Lynne Spears is surprised that her teenage daughter, although punctual, could become pregnant? Will parents never stop being surprised that their teenage kids are horny? Is the shock here that Jamie would have sex with her boyfriend of three years Casey Aldridge or that they didn’t use birth control? Or that she's keeping the baby?

Unfortunately Jamie-Lynn is keeping the baby and will raise it in Louisiana.

Jamie Lynn plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana — “so it can have a normal family life.”



Uh, but Jamie Lynn's acting career takes place in Los Angeles. Who is going to raise this kid? Grandma Spears? Maybe Kevin Federline can help? What's one more mouth to feed?

What message does she want to send to other teens about premarital sex? “I definitely don’t think it’s something you should do; it’s better to wait,” she told the magazine. “But I can’t be judgmental because it’s a position I put myself in.”



Why isn't anyone talking about birth control? You don’t have to wait and you don’t have to "put yourself in a position…" (you know what I mean.) You can have sex and use condoms or take a pill! The message that should be sent to teens is that it doesn’t have to be so black and white. The two choices are not just abstinence or motherhood -- there's a whole wide world in between, filled with special moments like learning how to put on a condom and getting spermicide on your fingers.

I know this is just another dumb celebrity story but it reflects how fucked up our culture remains around the subject of birth control, sex and family planning. I suppose one could argue that Jamie-Lynn Spears is getting all the attention because she is the one growing the baby but where is the media coverage on Casey Aldridge? He is 19-years-old and could be facing a felony charge and fatherhood.

Ironically, the home-schooled Jamie-Lynn claimed a few months ago that her favorite subject at "school" was health. Health!

What's your favorite subject so far?
Probably personal health, which teaches you stuff that you need to know about your health, like exercise. It's an elective, but still it's cool.



I guess she hadn't hit the lesson plan yet about "stuff that you need to know" to not end up like your older sister. Pity.

she's never late for curfew? I was never late for curfew and still managed to narrowly escape the police on sever occasions of vandalism...if I hadn't been so busy doing that I'm sure I could have found the time to "sew some wild oats".

I dont know if I should laugh or cry. I mean, does the girl not know who her sister is? Does she not understand what motherhood is? How did her boyfriend not know what birthcontrol is? How does she not know what birth control is! Seriously! And she's keeping it? Well, at least, 20 years from now, my kids will have some entertainment. surreal

This family has all the money they could ever need and they somehow still can't afford to spare the couple bucks for a pack of condoms?

Guess no amount of money can stamp that white trash out of your system.

Ugh this pisses me off that young girls nowadays are growing up way too fast. I actually caught some of that Zoey 101 show this afternoon...those girls are dressed like if they belong on Sex and the City. puke


I don't get why younger girls today are dressing up like it's the most important thing in the world...Focus on school kids! Geez

(sorry for the rant, this just seems to be the case 'round my area!)

I dated a girl when I was living in Louisiana, she was smart as a tack in most respects, but she went to a private school, and she was turning 21 and I, and my 17 year old female friend from home were teaching this girl about birth control. It seems the thing to do in Louisiana: if you don't mention sex to your daughters, they'll never want to have sex.

Unfortunately the law doesn't yet permit us to abort members of the Spears family after birth.
