Jamie Lynn Spears, 16-year-old sister of Britney Spears, is pregnant. Bitter? Me?

Nice. Hopefully this Spears child doesn't get neglected like Tater Tot and Small Fry....

Can't say I'm shocked, nothing that family does shocks me anymore. Sad really.

What did their parents DO to them?? I am starting to feel as though this current generation of young celebs somehow missed sex ed. Maybe h-wood tutors aren't required to teach it.

MAN! I need to get Jamie Lynn on my Fafarazzi team NOW! Seriously though, that family is pretty screwed up. Us Weekly did a big feature a few weeks ago, can't say this is all that surprising. ETA: RRRR! She's already been taken on my Fafa league. Bummer.

What is wrong with those parents, did they teach those girls ANYTHING? You know, there are plenty of NORMAL teenagers to the stars in Hollyweird.. a lot of parents dont have thier children in the spot light.. I realize the girls were the bread winners but for crying out loud.

Maybe h-wood tutors aren't required to teach it. DITTO at the top of my lungs! Who doesn't know how to prevent pregnancies?!!! Here's what I think: if you're not trying to NOT get pregnant (using condoms, birth control pills, etc.) then you're trying to get pregnant! Maybe I'm just not that passionate, but I don't think I could ever just get "caught up in the moment" and forget that I could get PREGNANT! Yikes. I wonder what will happen to her Nickelodeon show.

I think because they were the money-makers, the parents didn't feel like they could actually PARENT. Fear of getting their allowance cut off.... I agree with thing2. If you're not preventing, you're trying. And, I am a very passionate person. But, there's a time when you say, "wait a minute". Because (when i was young), the thought of a crying baby would've dampened the mood quicker than unwrapping a slicker. We really need to pray for all of these young moms. Hopefully, with help, their children will come up okay. what ever happened to rules like, x many dates/week, have to meet the boyfriend, curfew?? (not that you can't get pregnant on the first date in the middle of the afternoon...) *** "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." ~ Karen Kaiser Clark *** |

The whole family is just trash. Her mother is writing a parenting book? Someone should smack that publisher upside the head for encouraging them.

You know, I hate to sound like I'm spreading the blame (and believe me I'm not -- this is irresponsible on Jamie Lynn's part, first and foremost, given that she knew that a possible result of having ANY sex is pregnancy), but an awful lot of young Hollywood stars are having babies lately outside of marriage. When young Hollywood does it, kids are less afraid of social repercussions for having sex/babies, and thus more likely to have sex/babies. When so many news stories are written about young, beautiful new moms that say their lives weren't complete before their children, it makes motherhood that much more attractive to everyone. Young, single motherhood isn't as bad a prospect as it used to be... I wish the best of luck to Jamie Lynn and the Spears family with this new addition. Gossip tidbit: Perez Hilton says no one in the Spears family told Britney Spears about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy! She phoned OK magazine several times to get the scoop from them. "Seriously. Stop." |

unfortunately these "oops, i'm pregnant" celebrities are so priveleged, they are financially and emotionally supported in their mistakes. they send out the wrong message that its ok to have a 'wee accident'. The reality is more likely that when a 16 year old schoolgirl gets pregnant and her 14 year old boyfriend doesn't even have a paper round and can't support her and its her parents who bare the responsibilty. When I say responsibility, I mean the pressure from peer groups, support for their child, the financial strain, the care for both grandchild and child etc. Where's the sex education in schools and more importantly at home? I'm amazed that underage pregnancies are on the increase, well in the UK anyway and that sexually transmitted diseases are on the increase too. With all the information and access to contraception and antibiotics that we have, this is still on the up. I was shocked too, when I heard in the news that they were considering issuing the pill to under-16's via the pharmacy without their parents consent. I have mixed feeling about this, is it promoting sex to underage girls? Is it saying its ok you'll not get pregant but you may catch a disease? or is it giving young girls an opportunity to be responsible? Now...........I don't know what to think. __________________________________________________________ |

Her parents are nowhere to be seen, really. Jamie Lynn is making money just like her big sis and given that, their parents probably don't feel like they hold much of a parenting role anymore. Isn't/Wasn't their mom their manager at one poiint (or at least Jamie Lynn's)? They have a brother, Brian, and I'm dying to know what he thinks of all this. He's not really in the spotlight and I wonder if he's doing okay.

It also doesn’t help the Spears image that the father of the baby is Casey Aldridge, 19, who met Jamie Lynn in church and started dating her when she was only 13˝.

I was SHOCKED when I read this this morning. They are so young...and probably soooo NOT ready to have children. I wonder who is going to raise the baby? Her mother? I can't see Jamie Lynn being ready for this right now, especially with her burgeoning acting career, much less her boyfriend. Does he even work? Sigh... Just what this family needs. Her mother must be so stressed out by Britney and her child custody issues already, now she has to deal with this. If this was any other 16-year old kid, there would be much more shock I think... but because she's a celebrity with money... Sha |

I thought she seemed like a sweet kid and had hoped that watching the mess her older sister's life had become might keep her trying be act/be a littel more responsible. guess not....what a complete shame....

Culture doesn't change just because you have money. I don't know that much about the Spears, but I think they come from a background where this would be more than likely to happen. Has it occured, to ANYONE, that she may have been using a condom and an accident occured, and, say, a pharmacist decided not to sell her Plan B, she didn't know about it, or she was to ashamed to ask, being 16? I freely admit that its less likely than her being a teenage twit, but it is *possible.* I assume the announcement means she has decided not to have an abortion or give up the baby for adoption, a brave if (IMO) immature decision which we're not giving her credit for...I assume with her money she could have easily, parental consent or no consent.

i know mrs salvo...you would think watching the train wreck that has become her sister's life would deter her from making the same stupid mistakes. unfortunately not. did anyone else read the article and think that she is living in la la land? they ask her about taking time off from the show (oh they have been so great about me taking time off) and where the baby will live (with my family so that it can have a really normal life). i swear i felt like she was talking about a pet or something, this poor girl has no idea what life with a baby will be like, she seems so noncholant. the saddest thing is that if that family didn't have $$...she would be an unwed mother with no real means to support herself. the baby will probably be well cared for (the mom will probably take care of it) but jeez...what a mess.

The whole thing is pretty disgusting to me. I'm 36 and I just had my first baby. I've got TWENTY YEARS on this girl and it's still a daunting thing for me to have a child. How does she think she's going to handle this? Money isn't everything, it's not going to stop a baby from crying, etc. Like mrssalvo said, you'd think she would have learned something from her hideous sister's mistakes but clearly not. It's actually quite sad...

Poor thing. Good for her for accepting responsibility though. I can't say I'm surprised though. I had heard a little while back that she was moving in with her boyfriend. Hopefully she'll be a better mom than Britney. I used to like her and to be honest still hold out a tiny bit of hope for the girl. But I'm sad to say that I believe she's beyond hope. It's such a waste. I know a 16 year old trying to raise a baby isn't exactly the ideal situation. But there are many non-celebrity teens getting pregnant so if anything hopefully it will send the message to take responsibility for your actions.

If anything, I feel bad for this baby....who growing up in the spotlight will forever know that he/she was a mistake. I'm a firm believer that it is the parent's responsibility to teach about birth control, not the schools. I didn't know that they don't teach birth control in school anymore? I was taught all about it, starting in about sixth grade. My cousin is in 7th grade and she was taught about it. When did this occur? I think there is a certain point when you can no longer blame the parents/schools for something like this. I find it hard to believe that Jamie Lynn was oblivious to the consequences of having sex. This was either a birth control malfunction or carelessness on her and her bf's part. Either way, I find it admirable that they are taking responsibility for their actions despite knowing what it might do to Jamie's career and reputation (which could have very easily been protected). That is brave, in my opinion. While I think being a mother at 16 is a less than ideal situation, I don't think it makes her a train wreck like her sister.

Just a brief adoption shout-out--giving up the baby to loving parents shouldn't mean that you are abdicating responsibility, no matter how much money you have, if you feel you can't raise the child well. In my opinion, abortion is not necessarily either, but that is a much more debatable issue, while I feel that the above should be pretty evident.

It's actually quite sad... On a general note in reference to CurlyGirls comments; I saw a documentary recently following an outreach group which was liaising with teen and pre teen moms with the dual goals of helping them to achieve the equivalent of our leaving certificate [your high school diploma] and secondly to help them become better mothers. One comment I found very interesting during the show from one of the outreach workers was that very young mothers are not as anxious or phased as "older" Perhaps this innocence is both their downfall and saving grace? They have no clue; if they did they might be scared out of their wits? My view on the latter is that if they did know what an older I echo the feeling - bless the Spears' kids*, I hope that they can do ok.
