Jamie Lynn Spears
Is Knocked Up Ya’ll
16 Year Old Star Of Kids Show
“Zoey 101” Is “Pregnant 101”
Well As Long As You Were
Careful, Then...
...Cue Redneck Jokes
December 18. 2007
Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old sister of
Britney Spears, is pregnant by her live in boyfriend, Casey Aldridge. Yea, you
read that right – the words 16 year old and pregnant and live in boyfriend in
the same sentence.
Nickelodeon has been having a serious Maalox
moment, because think about it, how does it look, the 16-year-old star role
model of your “wholesome” kids TV show on a kids network is more pregnant than
an IVF patient (IVF patients don’t just have a kid, they usually have a litter
of kids at once – it’s just a bountiful harvest).
What’s most shocking about this story is not
that she got pregnant at 16 years old, though I don’t encourage it (still at
least she’s not having an abortion), but that she’s living with a guy out of
wedlock at that age.
A few months ago I read an article about Lynn
Spears, Jamie’s mother, helping her find an apartment in L.A. to share with her
boyfriend. At the time I thought it was a terrible idea. Not only did it look
inappropriate, it was and still is inappropriate.
Furthermore, what did you think was going to
happen to an underage minor playing house. Lynn Spears is her legal guardian.
She had no business allowing a 16-year-old girl to get an apartment with her
boyfriend.

When she came up to you with that idea, your
answer should not have been “let’s go apartment hunting” – it should have been,
“How can you move in with him when mommy is going to need you to bail her out of
jail for aggravated assault and battery on him. Now, go sit down and watch
Scooby Doo, mommy is busy.”
Age 16 was just too young for this and I believe
people should be married first. Remember that parenting book you said you were
going to put out next year, Lynn, you better cancel it.
