Jamie Lynn Spears (not dad Jamie nor mom Lynne…seriously, don’t they have baby books down there in Louisiana?) has completed another step of her education (she already passed Sex Ed) and passed her GED:

The 16-year-old pregnant star of Zoey 101 was seen studying for the exam last month and has expressed interest in attending Louisiana State University.

“I haven’t thought anything about what I might study,” she has said. “I’ll have to look more into that. But if I went anywhere, I think it would be fun to go to LSU.”

Hey, y’all, can you get me a dorm room with a nursery?  Because there’s this baby…

Oh wait, she’s going to give the baby to her mom to raise.  Becuase her mom did such a good job with her and her sister, don’t you know.

And it seems she’s having some, um, issues with being pregnant:

Various internet news websites report that the Zoey 101 star is in serious denial about her delicate state and, rather worryingly, is also having severe body-image issues.

Jamie Lynn’s state of mind is said to have got so bad, her mother, Lynne, supposedly jetted across the country to be by her side after Jamie screamed at her down the phone, saying: “I’m not pregnant!”

So far gone is Spears’ denial, she’s said to be “trying to go about her life as she always did,” says an insider. “She still hangs out until late at night and eats junk food.” […]

The craziest and lamest tidbit of all has to be the claim that a friend supposedly joked at a party that he liked Jamie Lynn’s “sexy new curves” - ’twas a compliment that sent Spears into a spin as she snapped back, “Shut up!”

Star magazine reports that Spears then turned to a female companion and said, “I hate my body!”

“Jamie Lynn is having severe body image issues,” adds the insider. “For the past few years, she’s been this cute little TV star. Now she sees herself ballooning - and she can’t handle it.”

Um…HELLO?  Welcome to reality, Jamie Lynn.  This is what happens when little girls try to grow up too fast.  Unfortunately, it seems (from everything I’ve read) that she’s not quite ready for motherhood, since it’s been said she’s basically handing off the baby to her mother once it is born.  Gotta resume the fun life!

Seriously, I applaud her on getting her GED (which, I think, is more than her sister has…correct me if I’m wrong).  But it’s clear she still has the mindset of a typical 16-year-old.  I’m not saying at all that you can’t be a single mom and go to college (lots of women have successfully done it, and without the money that Jamie Lynn has to hire nannies and support and pay for tuition without having to work too).  But I am saying that she will have a baby, and I hope she doesn’t just dump Little Jamie Junior off on meemaw and run off to party.  It seems that she just doesn’t realize how much of a life-changing event having a baby can be…of course, she is only sixteen, which unfortunately is old enough to have adult sex but too young to comprehend the consequences.

Time to pay the piper.  But I’m sure she can do that with the millions she’ll get from the exclusive baby photo deal I’m sure her so-called mother has in the works.

Here’s Spears’ baby-daddy #2 Casey Aldridge’s high school year book picture courtesy of Us Magazine. Kind of puts things in perspective as we viciously pass judgment on the two soon-to-be parents. All too soon if you ask me.

I have been reading the internets today and people are in a TWITTER over this whole Jamie Lynn Spears teen pregnancy nonsense. I find it all so sad, yet so ironic (I think that about lots of things actually)

Celebs are perhaps the worst invention of the modern world. On one hand they are given special treatment, overly compensated for doing not much of anything except entertaining us (and even that’s debatable), and worst of all, they are put on a pedestal by people who are so lacking in their own lives they have no one else to look up to. Then, when they fail to live up to the standard we’ve set for them, we bash them mercilessly. A vicious cycle of abuse.

Clearly Jamie Lynn is not smart or responsible. Neither is her baby-daddy Casey. Getting pregnant at 16 is pretty avoidable when you have the resources Jamie Lynn had. But, we must remember Jamie Lynn comes from a broken home, her mother is clearly not a great role model, her father is a recovering alcoholic, her sister suffers from fame-induced psychosis, and they’re all saddled with deep South sensibilities (or being “country” as they like to call it). Just because you throw money and fame in the mix doesn’t mean you are going to get something positive out the other end.

I don’t envy famous people in the slightest. Being robbed of your privacy would be horrible. Being forced to have all of your dirty laundry aired in public would be rotten. But it is a conscious choice people make and can be easily fixed by staying out of the limelight.

Jamie Lynn could have kept quiet about her pregnancy. That’s not to say she wouldn’t have been outed at some point, because, as we know, babies have a way of making themselves known eventually. But surely she didn’t need to make matters worse by bringing public scrutiny to her doorstep and making a pretty penny off it to boot.

I guess no matter what she did, this would have been a huge stink. Underage pregnancy is a real problem, and no matter how many people try and sugar-coat it by saying Jamie Lynn could end up being a good mom, the fact is, this was a really poor choice to make on her part. This however, does NOT make her a whore or any of the other really nasty things I have read about her all over the web. Even I was tempted to make that correlation
when I first read about the story. But the more I thought about it, the more pathetic it became and I just don’t have to heart to assail this young woman for being so incredibly inept at taking care of herself. I blame her mother, society, her sister and myself.

Jamie Lynn, rest assured you are a big doofus for getting knocked up, but you are NOT a whore. Don’t let them pin that one on you ok? Glad we got that settled.

Yes, you read that right. According to sources close to the family, Casey Aldridge, the father to Jamie Lynn’s unborn child has nothing to offer. Other than his DNA, which he cheerfully offered her a few weeks back.

From the Life& Style story (ALWAYS, ALWAYS believe the tabloids):

“Jamie Lynn and Casey are NOT together. They’ve broken up numerous times, but he was her first and she kept taking him back,” says the insider.

“They’re not dating now. He’s really got nothing to offer this baby. He’s a kid himself. They have no plans to get married.”

“At this point, Jamie Lynn has asked her mom — and not Casey — to be in the delivery room with her.”

A rep for Jamie Lynn was not immediately available for comment.

So this little innocent baby is set to be born to an under-age minor who has described the pregnancy as a “shock,” and now has to grow up with the knowledge its parents didn’t plan him, its father has nothing to offer, its aunt is a f*cking lunatic addicted to Venti frappes, its grandma is perhaps the worst celeb mom on the planet, its uncle is a failed rapping wanksta, and its two little cousins were voted most likely to wear dentures before reaching the age of ten.

Isn’t this a bit much for a little tot to bear at such a tender age?

Well, look at it this way, if our Savior survived being born in a stable to an unwed mother and was able to grow up and become a hailed success story, even little unnamed, unplanned Spears baby #3 has the slimmest of hopes.

I am rooting for you little fetus. Just remember, where there is hope, there is opportunity.
