I have to tell you, while I was no Jennifer Lopez fan before she and her creepy hubby Marc Anthony lied about their pregnancy, I really couldn't stand her after that. I mean come the hell on. You have a big huge baby belly and you are telling us you aren't pregnant. Wait, you didn't just say "I'm not pregnant" you made up elaborate and intricate stories about family members calling you daily with rumors and laughing them off as silly.

Making bad music is insulting enough, but treating me like I'm a moron, well that's just rude!

Then there's the flip side of all of this, and we have all these unmarried young women having babies. What the hell kind of impression does that send to our nation's youth? Now, before you brand me some kind of religious fundamentalist who reads bible passages in order to make moral decisions, I am a pretty liberal, open-minded person. This however, does not mean I think having children out of wedlock is a good idea. In fact, I think it sucks and sends a very negative message to girls about what it means to be a mom.

Oh, and of course there's the whole Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy nightmare. According to reports in the NYPost, Jamie Lynn's season finale on her Nickelodeon tween hit show, "Zoey 101," 7.3million viewers tuned in to the show, twice the average for the entire seasons episodes. Of course, this final episode came on the heels of her big pregnancy announcement in an exclusive interview in Ok! Magazine two weeks ago.

You can be sure, I, like many moms and dads around the country had to explain to their tween kid why Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, when she plays a teenager on a show who is still in high school. Kids aren't stupid, even they know that's not normal.

I love Nickelodeon, but I am deeply disappointed with their decision to run that show, and to continue with the show next year, thankfully its last. Shameful.

I think we'll skip "Zoey 101" and stick with Spongebob Squarepants. I'll take a potentially gay/asexual sponge over a promiscuous, irresponsible teen any day.
