Jamie Lynn Spears, 16, has confirmed to OK! Magazine that she is pregnant. Oh. My. God.
A source tells us the interview, which hits stands tomorrow, is six pages and is on the record with Jamie Lynn and her mother. She tells the mag that the father is Casey Aldridge, who she has been dating for some time and first met at church. Brit's younger sister, star of Nick's "Zoey 101," says she's keeping the baby.

They have time on their hands?
You're missing the point - human females are biologically designed to reproduce at 16, because everyone used to die at 30. It isn't about what women choose to do today when they routinely live to be 90.
Jaime Lynn Spears is just unintentionally doing what she is biologically programmed to do. The point was that people shouldn't react with such horror to the concept of "pregnant at 16"...it's just human nature and not at all too soon in a biological sense.
You can take the trailer-trash out of the trailer park...
The book is on hold. Guess there’s a new chapter to be written. Betcha the ratings for Jamie’s show go up, however, but her role is going to have to be re-cast.
Giving money to trailer trash doesn’t make them no longer trailer trash.
Now, they’re just trash living in a big house.
I’m completely with you on the biology part. I take exception to the “professional woman” waiting until 40 to have a kid. My point was, so what? Have a kid when you’re ready and if you’re ready at 40, go for it.
If we use biology as a justification for everything, then what's the point of morals? To me, justifying behavior because of biology is a liberal way of explaining everything.
Fred did the honorable and right thing back then.
Wrong.
There was never a time in human history when the average person died at 30.
That's a myth based on bad math.
No, that was never the case.
The reason why dimwits believe that the average person lived to be 30 is because they don't understand statistics.
Of 100 people born in 1725, say, 30 of them would die either at birth or before age 3 of childhood diseases.
Of the remaining 70, 10 would die of disease, accidents or violence at relatively young ages.
The remaining 60 or so would live until their mid-60s.
In other words, if you were born in 1725, survived childhood, and then kept out of trouble as an adult you would normally live to be 65-70 years old.
If you average this out numerically, you get an average lifespan of 30-40 years - but in the 1700s people didn't expect to die at age 30.n If they made it to adulthood they expected to live into their 60s, and they did.
The average funeral in the 1700s wasn't held for a 30 year old, but for 1 year olds and 60-something year olds.
Plenty of Joseph and Mary's contemporaries lived to be 70 or older.
And we have no idea exactly how old Mary or Joseph were.
One of my many problems with this is that Ms. Spears has a show on Disney Channel with a pre-teen audience, including my young daughters.
What the heck kind of role model is she?
Plenty of money isn’t helping Brit’s kids much, is it?
At least Britney’s kids will have cousins to play with...and someday marry.
