Poor Lynn Spears just can't catch a break.
Permalink  

Lynn Spears, mother of Britney and Jamie, just had her book deal put on indefinate hold.

Lynn was writing a book of parenting tips (are you KIDDING ME!) for a Christian publishing house (WHO is the soon to be fired idiot at this publishing house that thought Spears was the right choice for this project?).

The book deal was put on hold when her youngest daughter Jamie, star of DISNEY'S "Zoe 101", announced that she's three months pregnant at the age of 16.

Poor Lynn, she just can't catch a break with those two kids of hers can she?  She finally found a way to cash in on Britneys fame and Jamie goes and messes it all up for her.

Hmm. That raises a good point I hadn't considered Ruby.

Jamie Lynns boyfriend is 19. Isn't that a felony?

I don't think so down In Louisiana. I think the age of consent is like 12 or something.... & you're too old if you aren't married by like 17....

Jamie Lynn Spears never imagined shed spend the summer of her 16th year bringing up a new baby. The new arrival will come in early July, according to a source close to the family, and despite the calm front her mother Lynnes put up, sources say shes the one taking the news hardest. In short, Jamie Lynn has dashed the hopes of a fallen showbiz family.

Jamie Lynn was this familys big hope. With Britney, one minute youre in, the next youre out, said the source. Brit had been supporting her family for years, and now all eyes were on Jamie Lynn.

Jamie Lynn is the star of Nickelodeons hugely successful Zoey 101, and her future there and income are up in the air. Nickelodeon issued a statement to TMZ on Tuesday saying, We respect Jamie Lynns 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 Lynns well being.


As for whether shell return to the show, Jamie Lynn told OK!, I dont know, I dont know.

  
  
I dont know how she can go back, said the family friend. And, whats worse for the Spears is Britney doesnt want to be a part of that Spears gravy train any more. Thats part of why Britney is freaking right now. With Jamie Lynn to focus on, she [Britney] was no longer the familys only focus, and their only hope for income."

At the end of the day it also doesnt 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 13½. Lots of people have been worried that this relationship was moving too fast. I guess there was a good reason to worry, said a friend of the Spears family.

JD, I don't think she lives in Louisiana anymore does she? She's a big kids TV star now.

Look at that article above! What a twisted family. Mom apparantly just looks at the kids as cash cows.

Guess we are not the only ones asking this question- but her line:


 

Spears, who turned 16 on April 4 and says she is 12 weeks into her pregnancy, told the magazine she plans to raise her child in Louisiana, "so it can have a normal family life.


 


 

CLASSIC- this is NOT the beginning of normalcy!

 

(CNN) -- The announced pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears -- the 16-year-old children's television star and younger sister of beleaguered pop star Britney Spears -- is casting new light on how states deal with the thorny issue of consensual sex among teens.

Jamie Lynn Spears, shown in September, stars in the popular Nickelodeon series "Zoey 101."

corner_wire_BL.gif

Spears, the star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101," told OK! Magazine that she's pregnant and that the father is her 18-year-old boyfriend.

There has been no public talk of criminal prosecution in the case. Consensual sex between the two may well have been legal, depending on where and when it took place.

But critics of the nation's statutory rape laws say that laws that are ignored in some cases can be used to put other teens in prison and land them on sex-offender registries.

"You have a disturbing disparity in how these laws are enforced," said Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University. "I have no problem at all with nailing adults who sleep with children, but I have a problem with the prosecution of teenagers in consensual relationships.

"What this case should focus the nation on is having a more evenhanded approach to these cases." VideoWatch a psychologist talk about how Spears' pregnancy could lead to parents talking to their kids about sex »

In Louisiana, where Spears lives, it is a misdemeanor for someone age 17 to 19 to have consensual sex with someone age 15 to 17 if the difference between their ages is more than two years.

In California, where she sometimes tapes her television show, it's a misdemeanor to have sex with someone younger than 18 if the offender is less than three years older. Someone more than three years older could be charged with a felony.

According to OK! Magazine, which first reported the news Tuesday, Spears said the father of her baby is longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Turley said most states have similar laws but rely on prosecutors to be selective in enforcing them. But that's a recipe for legal problems, he said.

The issue drew international attention when a Georgia teen was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17.

In 2005, Genarlow Wilson was tried for the rape of a 17-year-old girl at a hotel-room party. While he was found not guilty of that charge, he was convicted of aggravated child molestation for the act with the 15-year-old -- even though he was less than two years older.

Georgia law, which has since been changed, required a mandatory 10-year sentence on the charge of aggravated child molestation and required Wilson to register as a sex offender when he was released. Under the revised Georgia law, the act now would be a misdemeanor.

Now 21, Wilson was released from prison in October -- after serving more than two years -- when the state Supreme Court ruled his sentence was "grossly disproportionate to his crime."

"The current laws leave too much to prosecutorial discretion," Turley said. "We saw in the Wilson case how prosecutorial discretion can lead to grotesque results."

He said statutory rape prosecutions of teens are more common in Southern states and small towns than they are elsewhere in the country or in big cities.

B.J. Bernstein, Wilson's attorney, argued throughout his case that Wilson was imprisoned for an act that, while perhaps morally questionable, probably is going on among teens everywhere.

"If you prosecuted, even with misdemeanors, all those cases, you'd clog up the justice system with kids having sex," she said. "It's a social issue -- and it may be something that parents don't want to happen or wish wouldn't happen at that age -- but it shouldn't be a crime."
