^^^Me three. I can be cynical like that. :)

I of course don't know if she got pregnant on purpose and whether going to the media was "damage control" rather than "let's milk this."

But seeing this article, annoyed me. http://lifestyle.msn.com/familyandpa...8368&Gt1=10716

I know cancelling Zoey 101 would be a shock to kids who actually watched Nickelodeon--versus the much more entertaining Disney Channel (I loved Nick when I was little but the shows I obsessed over ended years ago). However talking to your kids about sex and pregnancy shouldn't be prompted by a teenage celebrity's publicized antics. Kids deal with other kids EVERYDAY and are subjected to the media EVERYDAY in different ways. Celebrities should never be made so crucial that Spears is made into a "reminder for parents to talk to their kids."

I just can't take any time to read this thread, but how old is the father?

How do you spell "Statutory Rape?"

18 or 19. Depends on what the law in whatever state they were in.

I mean, role models shouldn't be people on tv, they should be people you see in real life. I stress that point to my 9 year old ALL the time.

You aren't the only one. LOL.

well, THIS would be an interesting twist...
 

I ran across this (of course all ALLEGED, the source is, I think, The Star, or some other such publication) on perezhilton.com -- conspiracy theorists now believe Casey isn't the father but maybe an older Nickelodeon exec that would most definitely face charges... link: http://perezhilton.com/?p=11074#more-11074

Casey Aldridge is NOT the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby
The father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby is NOT boyfriend Casey Aldridge, according to shocking reports from the U.S.
News that Britney’s sister was pregnant at 16 - under the legal age for sex in the U.S. - forced 18-year-old Casey into hiding.
But now Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.
Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101′.
“Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.
They say the real reason is that an older man could be charged with statutory rape if revealed to be the father of an under-aged girl’s baby.
But in Jamie Lynn’s home state of Louisiana, Casey would escape charges because a 16-year-old can legally have sex with someone less than two years older than her. “Conveniently, Casey falls under the bar by just 26 days.
“The man many suspect is the father, however, would face charges and probably prison time if he were to come forward and admit he had sex with her,” Star magazine states.
The magazine quotes “two separate Spears family insiders” who believe the father is someone who works on Jamie Lynn’s kids’ show. “Jamie Lynn has been working on Zoey since she was 13,” one of the sources said. “In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast, and she is no exception.
“With everything that has gone on in her family, she needed someone to look up to.
“But the man she found seems to have completely taken advantage of her.”
Another family source added: “Some of us have doubts as to the legitimacy of the claim that Casey is the father.
“Before the news of the pregnancy, how often did you see them together?
“Jamie Lynn has dated Casey on and off over the past two years.
“But it was not steady. In fact, she was looking to date Kevin Federline’s brother about a year ago.
“Jamie Lynn went through a time of partying, and Casey was just a part of that.”
Even Casey recently posted on his own MySpace that he was feeling “blah” about his love life, and added: “Me and Jamie are over…”
In fact, Star claims he had a pregnancy scare with a different girl and had to confess to Jamie Lynn. “Casey is a serial cheater who has lied to Jamie Lynn time and time again,” a close friend told the magazine. “This past spring, he was forced to tell Jamie Lynn that he’d cheated on her and gotten that girl pregnant.”
In fact, Star even insists Casey was openly dating yet another girl at the same time as he was supposed to be romancing Spears. “Yes, my sister is dating Casey - they’ve been dating for a while,” said Kevin Seals of his sister Whitney Seals.
“I know Jamie Lynn was real jealous about Whitney’s relationship with Casey.”
No matter who the father is, insiders believe the pregnancy will be the death knoll for Jamie Lynn’s burgeoning career. It will leave them terrified that she will prove to be the new Britney - and also that Nickelodeon, the TV channel behind Zoey 101, will be terrified of ruining its clean-cut image.
“I cant think of any way that Nickelodean could keep Jamie Lynn’s show on the air, said PR expert Michael Levine.
“If they do, advertisers will drop it like crazy. No advertiser wants to be associated with a minor getting pregnant.”

OMG...I just read where Casey was, "forced into hiding"

Ok, so the whole idea of that article ^^^ is that JL and Casey weren't together? Hmmm...i'm pretty sure that two people don't have to be dating to be having sex. So just because JL and Casey weren't OFFICALLY dating doesn't mean they couldn't be doing the horizontal limbo....i'm just saying.


P.S. I saw a MTV News segment (at least I think it was MTV news) and they went to Kentwood to get the locals reaction. They wanted to know how "shocking" it was for the locals of Kentwood to find out that Jamie Lynn was pregnant. Seriously EVERY PERSON they asked said "its not shocking at all, in fact, its typical of a kentwood teen" Turns out many of the 13-14 yr old residents are pregnant. Haha I chuckled when I saw that. [not that the girls were pregnant, but that no one was shocked JL was]

There's a contradiction of terms. MTV and News in the same thought.

I thought you weren't reading this thread?

according to the Post, Lil Romeo is the daddy? whatever!

see, everyone always wanna bring hip-hop into this.

Well, we all know a WHITE man couldn't have impregnanted an unwed teenage girl.:rolleyes: (Tounge firmly in cheek, in case that went over your head.)

Sounds like, "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
The whole Spears thing is rediculous

Yeah, I think a lot of small rural towns are that way. I mean, there just isn't much else to do. The "shock" isn't that she's pregnant, the shock is that the best thing they could think of to do was sell the story to the tabloids. But as cutiepatootie said, it might be a ploy to take some heat off the moneymaker of the family...especially since she just had a new perfume come out along w/ her album.

Ok, now that its out there in the open... I'm the father. I'm as shocked as you all are.
