Then again, poor to middle class families rarely have their kids getting into coke binges, boob jobs, and other assorted problems at an early age (because they don't have the money to do it...)

To clear up the confusion with the "slut" label:

Slut Bangs anybody and everybody.
Bitch Bangs anybody and everybody, except you.

My guess, she got tired of her dolls and figured she could handle the real thing. Babies are nothing more than cute accessories to be trotted out in public and handed off to a nanny when they require real attention.

Yeah, I'm going with H here. Is "slut," "trainwreck," "dumbass" truly necessary?

I'll take a stab at this one since I was the one to call her a dumbass. I do think "slut" is uncalled for. However as a parent of two kids , if my daughter came home at 16 and pregnant or if my son got someone pregnant at that age, dumbass would only be one of many things that I would call them.

I also think that there is some chance that this may be a publicity stunt. We might hear soon that she 'miscarried'. Sounds awful I know but in this day and age of 'released' sex tapes, nothing would surprise me.

Agreed. And if you had allowed your 16 year old daughter to co-habitate with a 19 year old man, you would be the one on the receiving end of dumbass comments as Mommie Spears should be. "Slut" may or may not be warranted, but mark my words, at lest one tabloid will soon come out with a headline such as, "Casey Aldridge is not the father!!!" Whether that turns out to be true or not, someone's PR firm will find a way to get that rumor circulating.

What I'm waiting for is Nickelodeon to slam her with some sort of morals/personal conduct clause from her contract. Maybe you can't fire someone for getting pregnant, but Nick knew what family they were dealing with and I'm sure their legal department took measures.

Nickelodeon will probably just run the rest of the episodes they have and then end the show and that's probably what she wants. Then she can take the Paris Hilton route of being famous for having people take pictures of her. The bigger she gets, the more you're going to see pictures of her posing on the red carpet and the stalker-azzi snapping pictures of her. Then she'll try to turn that into a career outside of Nickelodeon or a reality show.

Re: Jamie Lynn Spears (16) is pregnent

Many 16 year olds get pregnant, it just so happens that this one is famous. she isn't a slut or a whore or trailer trash because of what she did, she is just a young kid who made some stupid decisions.

While I'm sure many parents would rush to blame the mother in this situation (Lynn Spears) for lack of better parenting, many kids choose to do what they want regardless of how they are raised. I will say that Lynn's track record on parenting is a bit questionable only based on how quick she was to shove both girls into the limelight, cash in their checks and then live the good life.

My big question to momma spears is WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU SELL YOU DAUGHTERS STORY TO A TABLOID????? You are only feeding the media fire by doing this and it doesn't really look that great for you as a parent. You should be protecting your children from this kind of firestorm instead of throwing them into it head on.

I will never understand why so many celebrities seem to head straight for the camera in crisis instead of just laying low and trying to gain some sort of perspective on their lives.

The tabloids would run the stories regardless. It's a pretty safe bet that the reason the Spears are talking to the press about the pregnancy right now is that they were going to run the story anyway.

Certainly they do, they just don't get followed around by paparazzi. (And boob jobs are one of civilization's crowning achievements BTW). And it doesn't take a lot of money to get drunk and run your car into a tree several times in one year.

While I abhor following this story, I have a 13 yr old daughter, so obviously have a keen interest in the developments.

Looks like Nick may not be sweeping this under the rug...

I think that Nick is doing that so that they can run the next season of Zoey with a 'clear' conscience. No need to throw all the production and ad dollars down the trash.

Total political play.

Maybe she's just trying to outdo her sister. When Britney was first came on the scene at age 16 she was just jailbait.

Now Jamie's reached that same age and now managed to be both jailbait and a MILF!

Actually, in kind of a stunning twist, British tabs and others are reporting this 19 year old kid isn't the dad.. and that she was sleeping with an exec on the show who is considerably older then she is.. if that is true..

"Nick News" has done some pretty strong and frank roundtable discussions in the past. Anything that's not America's usual "let's ignore teen sex" POV is better than nothing, in my book.

I highly doubt they'd avoid running it either way. Getting pregnant at 16 doesn't make a person disappear off the face of the earth.

I don't trust the British tabloids. That said, if it's true criminal charges should be filed.

Why? If a 19 year old engaging in sex with a 16 year old apparently isn't grounds for charges why should any other age matter?

C'mon, there's a world of difference between a 19 year old dating a 16 year old and someone that's presumably at least in his 30s dating a 16 year old. IF it's true, that guy is a scumbag. He didn't seduce her or trick her into anything but if you're a grown man and you start a relationship with a 16 year old, you need to have your head checked. Besides that it's illegal and disgusting, the possible consequences (looking like an animal and destroying your career) dictate that you keep it in your pants no matter what.

It's all a moot point since the guy will never be prosecuted but IF it's true, it's real creepy and gross.

Her boyfriend as it turns out isn't 19, but 18 and 24 days within the legal "limit" of sex for someone 16 years of age. It would be quite interesting if the new stories of an exec being the father are true.

Please, there are many 16 year old High School Juniors and many 19 year old High School Seniors. Let's make sure we call the police if they start dating...

Re: Jamie Lynn Spears (16) is pregnent

I think some of you are missing my point.

If someone who's legally an adult has sex with someone who's legally a minor you would think there wouldn't be any difference in the eyes of the law between a 19 year old and a 49 year old. I guess what I mean is where should the line be drawn.

What if a 18 year old high school senior beds a 14 year old high school freshman. Wouldn't that be considered a bit creepy. But it's close to the same age difference of 16 and 19

Personally, I think it's pretty strange that this incident has barely raised any question in the media concerning this. Maybe the paticular law in that state makes it okay. I'm not sure.

I agree for the large part. Most states have Romeo & Juliet laws which say that if there is less then 3 years age difference, they aren't prosecuted as a sex offender. That makes sense.

I won't name names, but I personally know someone who ran into this issue. He was 19 (Sr. in HS) his GF was 16 (Sophomore), they were dating for some while (about 6 months if I remember right) her father caught them having sex in his car after prom.

Result? He got prosecuted and pled no contest, which didn't seem like a big deal at the time, paid a small fine, no jail, etc. etc. etc.

EXCEPT now he's a registered sex offender and everywhere he goes he has to register with the county authorities that he had sex with a minor and was convicted.. I spoke to him a year ago and he says that while he can explain when people ask (in a kind of funny twist, the two are married now and have been for about a decade now) most people don't ask, but they think they "know" what went on, because the sex-offender list doesn't tell people the specifics of what happened except for "Sex act with a minor"

So, yeah, there has to be some re-thinking on how that kind of prosection goes down.

BUT, if it is a significantly older person (like say, 35 / 16) then the age difference is stark, because at that point, the 35 year old should have known much better then to ever be involved.
