All Spears, All the Time Part Deux

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS has raised more than a few eyebrows with her unexpected pregnancy, including in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. One resident, BESSIE SANDIFER, believes that 16-year-old Jamie Lynn and her big sister, BRITNEY SPEARS, have both let down the people of Kentwood. But JULIA MILLER, a neighbor of the Spears family, says, quote, "I think the media needs to leave 'em alone and let them have a life."

Meanwhile, the family of 19-year-old CASEY ALDRIDGE, the father of Jamie Lynn's baby, is still coming to terms with the news. Aldridge's uncle, Pastor ODUS JACKSON, says, quote, "I'm sure they would have liked to have become grandparents in a different mode, but I think ultimately...they will accept it." Jamie Lynn told OK! magazine she plans to raise the baby in Louisiana.

Jamie Lynn and Casey may even have wedding bells in their future. Jackson tells the New York Post that they, quote, "want to get married. I know Casey does, and he says she does, too."

Jamie Lynn's pregnancy hasn't had any effect on her Nickelodeon series, Zoey 101, yet. The show will wrap up its third season on January 4th, and the fourth and final season has already been filmed and is scheduled to premiere in February.

In light of Jamie Lynn's announcement, Nickelodeon says it is considering a special about sex and love, with the help of newswoman LINDA ELLERBEE. If the cable channel moves forward with those plans, the special could air as soon as next month.

All Spears, All the Time...

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS somehow managed to overshadow her big sister, BRITNEY SPEARS, earlier this week, when her pregnancy was revealed.The 16-year-old actress is expecting her first child with 19-year-old boyfriend CASEY ALDRIDGE, surprising many of her fans. JOY FALLICK, a Long Island, New York, mother of a Jamie Lynn fan, believes the Nickelodeon star should act as a role model to her young audience. Nevertheless, child psychiatrist Dr. CHARLES SOPHY says Jamie Lynn's story should promote dialogue between parents and their children.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Jamie Lynn said her mother, LYNNE, is now supportive of her after breaking the news just before Thanksgiving. Her dad, also named JAMIE, isn't quite as understanding, though. According to Us Weekly, he's "furious" with the two women for selling their story, and according to a source, quote, "feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life." TMZ.com reports that Jamie Lynn and her mom weren't seeking money for their deal with OK!, but Britney's sis will receive one million dollars for a photo shoot once she gives birth.

Britney herself has kept her sense of humor through it all. She reportedly told paparazzi while shopping Tuesday night, quote, "My sister's not pregnant!" A source tells TMZ that the pop star was just being sarcastic.

Jamie Lynn's pregnancy shouldn't interfere with her Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101 -- the series reportedly completed production on its final season in September. However, MICHELLE TAUBER of People magazine says some readers of her publication want a special "wrap-up" episode of Zoey 101, currently scheduled to air next month, to be cancelled.

So much for BRITNEY SPEARS' younger sister being the stable daughter in the family. JAMIE LYNN SPEARS is expecting a child, at the tender age of 16. The star of the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101 tells OK! magazine she and her longtime boyfriend, CASEY ALDRIDGE, who's reportedly 18, were shocked by the unexpected pregnancy. Jamie Lynn is 12 weeks along, and plans to raise the baby in her native Louisiana.

Jamie Lynn says she waited until just before Thanksgiving to break the news to her mom, LYNNE, who she says has been supportive after the initial surprise wore off. Lynne Spears tells the magazine, quote, "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby." There's been no comment yet from Jamie's big sis on becoming an aunt, although according to People magazine, she was unaware of Jamie's pregnancy. A family friend says, quote, "This is going to kill her," adding, quote, "In the end, she'll be supportive." Britney, of course, has two young kids of her own.

Nickelodeon responded yesterday to Jamie's announcement, stating, quote, "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."

Perhaps as a result of Jamie's revelation, a memoir from Lynne Spears about raising her children has been delayed indefinitely, according to People magazine. The book had been due out in May.

The issue of OK! magazine with Jamie Lynn's interview will hit newsstands nationwide by Friday.
