[smith1016]

WOW. I remember there being a blind about a tween tv star being knocked up-and I think JL was a guess at the time.

I still can't believe it!

 

[iLoveCouture]

What a hot mess....didn't she learn by seeing how much of a mess her sister is? At least she is in a decent position financially to support a child.

 

[ptowngal]

The father is outed already too. Wow- awkward Sundays at Church.

 

[Jessica18Toronto]

LMAO how crazy is that?

Britney's Teen Sister Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant

TUESDAY DECEMBER 18, 2007 08:00 PM EST UPDATED
Britney Spears's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, Nickelodeon confirmed Tuesday.

"We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being," says the network, which carries her series Zoey 101.

A rep for Spears was not immediately available for comment.

The network statement follows Internet reports that Spears's mother had confirmed the pregnancy to OK! magazine.

Spears, a high school junior who is 10 years younger than Britney, had until now escaped much of the attention about her personal life that has surrounded her sister.

Jamie Lynn stars as a schoolgirl at the fictitious Pacific Coast Academy in Zoey 101, finishing its third season next month as one of Nickelodeon's highest-rated shows.

She recently told the Associated Press that didn't have a serious boyfriend.

"I kind of just keep my options open," she said. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends."

She added that her priority was to focus on her real-life schoolwork before considering any additional TV series or film roles.

"I'm going to try to graduate before I do anything else," she told AP.

People confirmed it as well. This is sad.

 

[ptowngal]

Well it sounds like her series is screwed... unless Nickelodean wants to introduce a pregnant Zoey. And it's not like she can be killed off or anything either. So her co-workers are out of their jobs too.

And how is she going to graduate now? That will be super hard to do with a baby on board.

WOW! I cannot tell you how many times I said out loud "Ohhhh myyyy godddd" when I read this! And I thought it was shocking to hear that Jessica Alba is pregnant! I always thought Jamie Lynn was so much smarter than her sister. And this doesn't mean that she's not, because mistakes happen, as long as she takes responsibility and doesn't screw up as a mother like her sister seems to have.
I wish I could've seen her mothers reaction!; grandma Lynn has a lot of people to take care of these days!

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Oh...this family And here everyone was hoping Jamie-Lynn would go a better route...

ETA: Depending on the state they're in -- not sure which -- I guess statutory r*pe charges are coming up as well?

she probably has a private tutor anyway. Not that education seems to be a priority for the Spears clan anyway

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^Yes, she definitely had an on-set tutor

 

[LUXXX]

It's going to be so weird to see her walking around with a baby bump...

 

[jssy4eva]

Whhhaaaatttttttttt?

Well it depends on how old the boyfriend is doesn't it? If he's above 18 he will probably be prosecuted, even if the Spears family doesn't press charges. If he's her age, I don't think there's much the law can do about it. They'd both be underage and it wouldn't constitute as statutory r*pe.

 

[seanutbutter]

Anything is possible now.

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Oh lawd, why is everyone pregnant?

He's 19 -- that's why I mentioned the possibility

 

[MyNameIs]

This is so insane. I feel bad for their parents and just their family. I think maybe their mom wishes they'd never gotten famous.

I mean, WTF?!?!? I thought at least she was ... you know, ok, unlike Britney. But, at least Britney waited till she was over 20 and married to get pregnant.

Also, what is this with being pregnant? Everybody in hollywood is I think.
