Jamie Lynn Spears: Pregnancies
built 176 days ago
Ever since Jamie Lynn Spears announced she was with child, teen pregnancy has been a hot button editorial topic, especially in the wake of the success of accidental-mom rom-coms Juno and Knocked Up. So it was only a matter of time until Caitlin Flanagan, the former New Yorker scribe who fancies herself an authority on adolescent sexuality, weighed in. Flanagan is infamous for writing a ridiculously fear-mongering screed in the Atlantic in 2006 about how America's 12-year-olds dispense blow jobs like Pez, in part because porn stars like Jenna Jameson used "abortion rhetoric" about "keeping the government out of private decisions about their own bodies" for profit.

Spears garnered her first starring role as Zoey Brooks in the Emmy-nominated Nickelodeon television show, Zoey 101. When the show debuted in January 2005, it drew a larger number of viewers aged 9-14 than any premiere on the network in the precedent eight years.[4] Spears stars as one of the first girls to pass admissions for a formerly all-boy boarding school, called Pacific Coast Academy. Zoey 101 was nominated for a 2005 Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program. In 2006, Spears won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards blimp for Favorite TV actress.[5] Spears ... sings the theme song for the show, which was co-written by Emily Bob and her older sister Britney, entitled "Follow Me." While there have been reports that Zoey 101 has been canceled, because of Jamie's pregnancy, [6] a spokesperson for Nickelodeon has told MTV News that there is no truth to those rumors and the show remains on their schedule.[7]

Although this perpetually perky singer/actress started out riding on the sequined coattails of her older sister, pop superstar Britney, Spears has managed to carve out her own career without displaying much talent. The spitting image of her famous sibling, Spears appeared in a few of her sis' projects before landing a spot on Nickelodeon's juvenile improvisational sketch-comedy series All That. After the show ended, the network gave Spears her own vehicle, the inexplicably popular tween-oriented sitcom Zoey 101, in which she mugged her way through a string of misadventures. In 2007, the 16-year-old stunned when she announced her pregnancy, showing that this Spearshadn't completely escaped the life of turmoil and controversy that plagued her older sister.
