Spears' Dad Angry at Jamie-Lynn's Interview

Jamie-Lynn Spears' father is reportedly "furious" at the TV star, because he didn't want his daughter to lower herself by selling the news of her pregnancy to the press. The 16-year-old confirmed she is 12-weeks pregnant with student Casey Aldridge's baby during an interview with OK! magazine, which hit American news stands on Tuesday. But dad Jamie - who split from wife Lynne in 2002 - is reportedly "depressed" and "devastated" by her tell-all interview, according to USmagazine.com. A source adds, "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children'. Lynne didn't care. (He) feels Jamie-Lynn ruined her life." However, the Zoey 101 actress and her mom Lynne are alleged to have initially turned down the offer of cash for the revealing interview, agreeing instead to a $1 million fee for the baby's first photo shoot when Jamie-Lynn gives birth next year. And website Tmz.com claims the teen could be further along in her pregnancy than everyone has been led to believe - suggesting a July report in American tabloid the National Enquirer was more accurate in putting her due date in the spring, instead of the widely-reported June.

If this is true, it's a riot. Selling the news of her pregnancy? LOL. The cat's out of the bag, Daddy Spears, so if Jamie is taking a million for a picture of her baby, take the money and run, like all the other celebrities who pose with their babies on magazine covers.

Good question though, Irene, where is the father? Sounds like he's mad that he won't be getting his share of the money. Maybe that's one of the things we'll learn with the interview. Doesn't want to profit off his children, what a hoot. They've been in show business since they could walk. I wonder if US magazine paid him for his interview, lol.

They are trying to put into people's heads that having a baby out of wedlock is bad. That is an opinion, not a fact. I agree though, that nickelodeon is really just a kid's channel, and in a child's eyes when a woman is pregnant she is always an adult. An adult won't fit on Nickelodeon, these are shows intended for kid actors, so maybe Jamie needs to pursue her acting career elsewhere.

If only we peasants had it so easy...

The Spears' parents had a divorce several years ago. I've always been under the impression that Jamie is closer with her mom. Her dad sounds bitter.

I don't imagine she'll keep her show, and I wouldn't blame Nick if they cut her loose.

personally, I think people are way too worried about what this is gonna do for her career. I remember about 10 years ago, Reese Witherspoon (when she was still always playing teen roles) was a rising star and then she got pregnant by Ryan Phillippe (who she eventually married). Everyone then thought that Reese could kiss her career goodbye because of having a baby so young, but yet she came back after she had her baby and became a bigger star after becoming a mom than she ever was beforehand. Of course, Reese was actually a talented actress who was getting notices for movies like Freeway, Pleasantville, The Man In The Moon, Election, etc... before she became a mommy, Jamie is just a poor man's Britney who lucked into a Nickelodeon series because of who her sister is.

I never heard a word that Reese's career was in jeopardy. She was in her 20s when she got married and had her first child (at age 23). She was making the transition into adult roles anyway. I don't see any comparison between Reese's situation and Jamie's. Dana Plato's pregnancy cost her role the on Diff'rent strokes though.

I agree with Janice here - Jamie's and Reese's situations are completely different. Both Reese and Ryan were of age when they found out they were expecting, for one thing. They were already making movies geared towards an older audience.

it probably already took a toll on her acting career...i'm sure Zoey 101 will be cancelled now, after all, they cant write her pregnancy into the show, lol...plus, with the bad press, i'm sure it's ratings and popularity will decline sharply. it's not TOO bad because Nick shows usually only last for 3-5 seasons and the show is in it's fourth, but i think it was popular enough that it could've lasted a few more years.

I have one thing to say about this....
WHAT THE F*CK!!!

Well, it seems more likely given that she was with this guy for a few years. I'm sure they trust each other.

Teen Spears' Baby Daddy Eludes Media

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - He's a 19-year-old pipe layer; a deer-hunting, dirt-bike-riding former high school class president who still lives in his tiny Mississippi hometown. So why are the paparazzi hot on his trail?

Because Casey Aldridge is an expectant father - and the mother is 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears.

And to hear Aldridge's uncle tell it, the daddy-to-be isn't quite ready to join Spears - the star of "Zoey 101" and the sister of pop starBritney Spears - in the spotlight.

"I don't think they are ready yet to sit down and talk to the media," Odus Jackson, a pastor in Gloster, Miss., told The Associated Press by telephone Thursday. "They haven't gotten their heads together yet."

Jackson said media were already swarming the southern Mississippi town - with a population of 1,073 at last census count - in search of Aldridge, not even 48 hours after the news came that Spears told OK! celebrity magazine about the pregnancy. She said she plans to raise the baby in her home state of Louisiana.

Jackson, 71, said Aldridge left before camera crews ascended Wednesday and was going into hiding. Jackson said he spoke briefly with his nephew, who also lives in Gloster but was often out of town for work.

"He doesn't want to say the wrong thing to the media," Jackson said. "At the right time he will speak."

It's unclear how Aldridge and the younger Spears met or where they spent time together.

Jackson said his nephew briefly attended a junior college in Mississippi but now works for a pipe-laying company in Baton Rouge, La. He attended school at Amite School Center in nearby Liberty, Miss., where he played football and baseball, principal Dan Brewer said.

Brewer, who was not principal when Aldridge graduated last year, said the teen went to school with his daughter and has visited his home. Aldridge was class president, and was honored by his senior classmates as "campus favorite" and "most versatile."

"He was just a super dude," Brewer said.

Jackson said Aldridge enjoys deer hunting and rode dirt bikes. His parents, Joyce and Mark, currently live in Tennessee.

"He is a quiet guy," Jackson said. "That is why it is going to be very difficult to corner him until everybody is ready to talk together on the same page. He doesn't like the limelight. He is going to hide as much as he can."

Jackson denied reports that his nephew and Spears, who was a guest at Jackson's home this past Thanksgiving, were no longer together.

"I think they are going to try to stay together," he said. "They certainly don't want to part."

Jackson said Aldridge has told family members that "he wants to go ahead and get married as soon as possible." Jackson added that the two do not want to "rush into it."

Okay, who makes the first pipe laying joke.

I hope he stays out of it. STAY NORMAL!

I'd say that train has left the station. He's in it, for the rest of his life.
