Jamie Lynn Spears Says She's Pregnant

If this is true, then the whole family is Trailer Trash.

Another Spears baby is reportedly on the way — and it's not Britney's.
Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old "Zoey 101" star and sister of Britney, tells OK! magazine that she's pregnant and that the father is her longtime boyfriend, Casey Aldridge.
"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," she says. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."
Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.
As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody," she says. "Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."
Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, the magazine says.
"She was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all," Spears says. "A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney's young sons, says: "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."
She says her actress daughter, the telegenic heroine of the popular Nickelodeon series "Zoey 101," has known Aldridge for years and began dating him in high school.
Jamie Lynn plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana — "so it can have a normal family life."
The third season of "Zoey 101" wraps up Jan. 4.
"I haven't spoken to (Nickelodeon) personally, but they have always been so great to me over the past years and have given me so many opportunities."
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 says. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."

Dayum. They must not believe in birth control. (or self control)

People is confirming the story. Lynne Spears now has a new generation of children's careers to manage.

unbelievable. haven't these people heard of contraceptives? i mean, it isn't a new idea!

As sad as it is that she's 16 and pregnant, its not like she's any different than people like Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister).

It might be bad to think this way, but at least she can financially provide and she seems to be a lot more mentally stable than Britney. Because, at least, I can't see Jamie Lynn shaving her head bald.

Putting the age thing aside (because come on, that's just a reflection of kids these days)...how hard is it to pop a pill every day? To reach over to the nightstand and slap on a rubber? GEEZ.

Jesus H. Christ, please make her a better mother than her sister and mom are.

The whole family needs to be put in a zoo, labeled Homo Sapiens Trashius.

As for "Jamie Lynn plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana — 'so it can have a normal family life,'" none of them would know a normal family life if they were put in a time machine and sent back to the Ozzie and Harriet days.

Totally, totally sad.

I love the statement that she's known the father for years and started dating him in high school --- she's 16. Isn't she still IN high school??

Proud, proud day for the Spears clan... all that money and fame, still zero class any way you look at 'em.

This is sad.

Solange was out of HS and married when she had her child.

They had the wrong Spears knocked up (and the wrong teen star, considering the rumors about Miley). I'm beginning to think that Britney had all the sense in the family.

That's true, but she was still 17. And the announcement of her pregnancy was before she was married.

The difference between those two is that Solange's big sister wasn't a trainwreck. Tina and Matthew's parenting was often questioned, but you never saw Beyonce flashing her chacha for the paps.

IIRC, news of Solange's pregnancy/wedding barely even made a dent in the news.

What difference would that make if she was? Why would she be?

I just meant that [aside from the older sisters] that I didn't see why this is such big news. So she's 16 and pregnant, its not like it uncommon nowadays...that is why I referenced Solange.


With that said, I would have expected more from Jamie Lynn because her sister IS a trainwreck. I guess, if I was JL, I would that thought "shooot I don't want to get pregnant and then become psycho like Brit"...guess not!
