same as it ever was...jaime lynn spears


Decision: "same as it ever was" posts will be observations on current events. Um, that will probably mean celebrity gossip. Please do not expect musings on global affairs. You will be sorely disappointed.

OK, so Jaime Lynn Spears is knocked up, right? The good sister gone bad. We're all not THAT surprised, though. Where were you when you heard news? Is it a moment you will remember forever? I turned on the Today show yesterday morning when I woke up, like I do every day (the Matt Lauer fix helps me face the day) and they were discussing the demographic of Jaime Lynn's Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101, 911, or whatever it's called. Apparently, kids watching this show are around 8 years old? How do you tell your 8 year old that Zoey's got a bun in the oven? Now you have to have the sex talk because another Spears is dismantling her career?

Here's the other thing...Lynn and Jaime Lynn sold the story to OK! magazine for a million dollars, I hear? They get the money after the magazine gets photos of the baby after it's born. Of course, Jaime Lynn has said that she wants to go back to Louisiana to raise her child, and a million dollars is a nice way to retreat from Hollywood. But it's all just a little...tacky. Pimping out your kid before it's even born? Not that we can expect more from the Spears family. My brother and I were talking about it last night and he said, "Hell, I'd get pregnant for a million dollars!"

I must say, I never really liked Jaime Lynn that much. I'm still holding out hope for Britney's resurrection from the land of bad hair weaves. Jaime Lynn, despite the fact that she's 16 and clearly not that innocent after all, just always seems a little too squeaky clean for me. Even in her Crossroads days Britney always seemed like the good girl about to go bad. Much more appealing.

At least it's not KFed's. Now we'll all wait to see if Jaime Lynn's baby daddy is going to come out with an album. Popo Zao was one of the highlights of my year.
