Jamie Lynn Spears Seeks Pregnancy Advice From Beyonce Knowles Sis

Jamie Lynn Spears is reportedly seeking pregnancy advice from the little sister of Beyonce Knowles. Jamie Lynn, 16, recently announced she is pregnant by her 19-year-old boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Solange Knowles, now 21, gave birth to a son when she was only 17. Sources say Jamie Lynn is impressed with the way Solange became a good mother and wants her to help her through her pregnancy.

“Speaking from experience, I can tell you that she’ll be an amazing mum. I have been so blessed that my son is the coolest kid ever,” says Solange. “Of course, that first year of not sleeping and just being dedicated to him had tough parts, but that’s fine. It’s been a blast for me.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn’s family is facing problems with her older sister Britney Spears. The troubled singer was not awarded visitation rights in a hearing on Monday. Her ex-husband Kevin Federline currently has sole legal and physical custody of the children. Spears lost her visitation rights following a standoff with police on January 3.

The 26-year-old refused to return the children to Federline. She was rushed to the hospital and put on lockdown for mental evaluation.

Jamie Lynn Spears Getting GED After 'Zoey 101' Cancelled

Jamie Lynn Spears is finding out that teenage pregnancy and a television show for kids just don’t seem to be a great mix for network execs. It was announced this week that the already filmed fourth season of her hit Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101, would be the final season, leaving Spears with plenty of time to go back to school.
The show, which hit the airwaves in 2005, chronicles a wholesome young girl as she attends an all boys’ school. Zoey 101 was nominated for an “Outstanding Children’s Program” Emmy in it’s first year and has created quite a following among tween viewers over the past few seasons.
Following the announcement last month that their 16-year old-star had become pregnant by 18-year old-boyfriend Casey Aldridge, rumors began to circulate that Nickelodeon, owned by Viacom, would be pulling the show from their February line up.
“No truth to that rumor," the show's spokesman Dan Martinsen told MTV News. "We have not made any change to our schedule."
The hour long season finale, aptly titled “Goodbye Zoey”, aired over the weekend and pulled in 7.3 million viewers, an impressive number for a cable show and more than double the shows average ratings.
The network, however, has no plans to renew with the star for a fifth season.
After the news about her canceled show hit the news, the sister of troubled pop star Britney Spears was spotted leaving the Tangipahoa Parish School System Adult Education Centre in Hammond, Louisiana, carrying a GED book. It appears that the star is planning on enrolling in high school equivalency classes in order to get her diploma.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, who broke the pregnancy story, Spears said, "I put myself in this position. An adult position, so I have to act like an adult and take responsibility for what I did."

K-Fed's call to cops: 'Britney's got a gun'

A panic call from Britney Spears' husband sparked her stand-off with cops - because he feared she would SHOOT DEAD their two sons.
As Brit left hospital, a pal said: "K-Fed was terrified. He realised she had a gun where she was holding them."
We can reveal that Kevin Federline feared his ex would use the Beretta pistol he bought her as a birthday gift to MURDER their two young sons.
And it was his desperate call for help that started the dramatic three-hour siege at her Hollywood home as she held armed cops and a specialist SWAT team at bay and refused to hand over the boys.
Britney's latest problems come after a series of shocking incidents involving her which have been caught on video

The News of the World can reveal that K-Fed, 29, panicked on Thursday night after realising the fallen pop princess kept the handgun—a Beretta 92FS—in the master bedroom where she was holding the kids, Jayden James, one, and Sean Preston, two.
Convinced that in her out-of-control state she would use the weapon to kill the lads then turn it on her herself, the wannabe rapper rang his lawyers who alerted the authorities.
Last night as Britney was sensationally released from hospital after throwing a tantrum, a source close to the warring couple revealed: "Kevin knew she was on the edge and might snap at any time.
"Knowing there were TWO firearms in the house, including the Beretta, he wasn't taking any chances— hence the massive police response."
In the most nightmare week yet of Britney's crazed life, we can also reveal that although NOT high on illegal drugs she:
SWALLOWED bottles of ‘hillbilly heroin'—a highly-addictive drug called OxyContin that's killed hundreds in America,
BINGED on a mindbending cocktail of more precription drugs before defying the police,
PLEADED with Kevin to SELL her the kids for a multi-million payoff in a tearful phone call,
FOUGHT with bodyguards to hang on to her children,
BASHED her own head against the wall in a fit of blind rage.
Agonised
Britney, embroiled in a custody battle with estranged husband Kevin, was due to hand over the children to him on Thursday evening.
But K-Fed's mind started racing when the fallen star made an agonised call refusing to give them back and offering to BUY them.
Our source told us "Britney said that Kevin could have an incredible 100 million dollars if he'd give HER the kids and never see them again.
"He's used to Britney going off on one, but he knew from her voice that this was a whole other thing entirely. He hung up straight away and called his legal team in a panic.
"He told them that Britney was capable of anything and admitted that she still kept two handguns at the house—the pistol he bought her for a birthday gift and a black automatic Glock. The lawyers called the police immediately."
Before cops arrived at about 8pm Britney made a SECOND chilling phone call, predicting she was about to hit headlines worldwide.
She rang 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn, who has been at the centre of a media storm since announcing she was pregnant, two years below the age of consent in California.
Our source said: "Jamie's new-found publicity enraged jealous Britney. And after calling Kevin that night she rang Jamie and told her, ‘You're not going to be the only f***ing Spears on the front cover of a magazine next week!' and then hung up." Meanwhile Britney lost it when Kevin's lawyer Mark Kaplan showed up at the house and tried to talk her round.


Our source revealed: "Britney was wailing and sobbing uncontrollably then she just flipped. Her hysteria went up a notch and she ran with the children into walk-in wardrobe and slammed the door behind her.
"She sat in there sobbing and yelping out loudly. She was in there for about an hour refusing to come out. The children were also sobbing because they were so scared.
"A court-appointed monitor, who supervises the kids' visits, was also there but Britney refused to budge and could barely utter a word, just mumbling responses.
"When the cops, paramedics and K-Fed's bodyguards turned up with loads of commotion it sent Britney over the edge again.
"She was squealing out wildly, urging them not to come into her room. After a while the cops just about calmed her down and reasoned with her to let them in.
"When she opened the cupboard door she was sat cross-legged on the floor weeping uncontrollably. She was wiping her eyes and smearing make-up over her face. Her hair was all over the place and she looked pale and despondent.
"Her nose was running and she was dribbling like mad, shaking her head and shivering. She looked very flustered.
"She had one boy in each arm, partly rested on her lap, and they were crying their eyes out hysterically. They were beetroot red in the face, and their eyes seemed swollen with all the tears.

"She kept blubbing, and you could barely hear her say, ‘Don't take the boys.' Eventually a police officer, the monitor and one of the bodyguards got close enough to reach out for the children. At first Britney let go of the boys and the team levered them out of her grasp.
"But once away from them she pounced on the bodyguard's leg and tried to stop him walking away. The cops tried to gently peel Britney from him but she started lashing out pleading, ‘No! No!' She was clambering up his legs to get to Sean Preston, who began crying again. She was in a real state, sobbing then screaming at everyone.
"Then she sank her teeth into the guard's leg. It didn't really work as she got more of his jeans than his flesh. But she was acting so crazed. She got up on her feet and tried to kick the minder, who'd now passed the child on to a colleague. The paramedics then grappled with her and tried to calm her down.
"They sat her on the side of her bed but she just sank to the floor and crawled as quickly as she could across the room. As she sank her hands into the floor her nails broke off. She was screaming and yelling out for the kids.
"Then she stopped and just broke down in floods of tears again—rocking from side to side and crying like a heartbroken child. That's when the paramedics persuaded her to lie down on a stretcher.
"But she was acting so wild they tied her in and decided they had to take her in for drugs and mental health checks.
"Even though the kids had been moved away by then she was still grabbing out for them."
Within minutes news pictures of the troubled star strapped to a stretcher and being carted off to the Cedars-Sinai hospital had flashed around the world. It was widely assumed Britney was on illegal drugs when she was taken but police sources told the News of the World:
"Tests revealed she was totally clean. She wasn't high on illegal substances—she was crazy."
Los Angeles Police Department officer Ana Aguirre confirmed: "There was no actual crime involved. Police resolved the conflict. Both children were turned over to their father."
A source told us Britney's behaviour had recently become increasingly bizarre. The insider said: "About three weeks ago she started bashing her head against the wall when she's frustrated or annoyed about something.
"That's a form of self-harm. One of her team saw her doing it but never thought to intervene. She just thought it was Britney having one of her moments.
"Even when little Sean started copying her nobody did anything about it."
Yesterday the Toxic star woke screaming in hospital. Doctors rushed in to sedate her as she thrashed around yelling: "I want to kill myself! I want to die!" An inside source told us: "She was so agitated she was arching her back and pulling at the straps holding her down.
"She was like a woman possessed. It was like watching The Exorcist. It took two nurses to hold her down while doctors brought her under control."
But in a shock move last night she was released with no warning after a tantrum in which she SCREAMED at staff, RIPPED out her intravenous drip and DEMANDED to be allowed home.
Doctors agreed to the early release on condition she was signed over into the care of her father Jamie, 55, a reformed alcoholic and one-time builder.
The pair have had a rocky relationship but in recent weeks have grown closer.
A source said: "Jamie's an addict so feels a huge amount of guilt at the way his daughter has turned out. He thinks it's his fault as she must have his genes.
"So he has pledged to do everything in his power to help her get better."
Britney took 100 pills in 36 hoursCRAZED BRITNEY swallowed a deadly cocktail of more than ONE HUNDRED prescription tablets in the 36 hours before her custody meltdown, the News of the World can reveal.
And the singer washed them all down with a Purple Monster— a mind-blowing home-made cocktail of vodka, American Nyquil anti-flu syrup and an energy drink like Red Bull.
A long-term friend of the star told us: "It looks like everything in her medicine cabinet went down her neck. It seems she was only saved from falling into a coma as the drugs in her system almost counteracted each other."
The cocktail included:
TWO bottles of Nyquil
TWENTY diet pills, including her favourite brand Clenbuterol.
EIGHTEEN herbal uppers specially ordered over the internet.
EIGHTEEN Piriton antihistamine tablets
TWELVE Vicodin painkillers
TEN sleeping pills
UP TO eight antacid reflux tabs
ONE bottle of stomach upset mixture Pepto Bismol
TEN Zantac tablets, an anti-hangover and indigestion drug.
SIX Ritalin, for her attention deficit disorder issues.
TWO empty bottles of painkiller Oxycontin, known as hillbilly heroin, were also found at her home.
Her pal said: "Britney is always taking something to ease her nerves or keep her weight down.
"But her instability meant she just wanted an instant cure to all her anxieties, so she just kept taking more and more drugs and drink until she felt it worked.
"She told us she made a Purple Monster to calm her nerves. She has had this weird concoction in the past, and only takes it when she is seriously disturbed."
TV deal
FREED Britney Spears is set to reveal all about her week of hell next week on a TV SHOW.
She will bare her soul to celebrity shrink Dr Phil McGraw, a top daytime talk host, after he dashed to her hospital bedside and did a deal yesterday.
“My meeting with Britney leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention,” he said in an exclusive statement to Entertainment Tonight and The Insider.
She records the show tomorrow for screening on Wednesday. News clips are predicted to pull a world audience of more than a BILLION. A pal said: “It was all Britney’s mum’s idea.”

Court gives sole custody of Spears’ sons to Kevin Federline

LOS ANGELES - A court commissioner gave sole physical and legal custody of Britney Spears’ two little boys Friday to ex-husband Kevin Federline and suspended the troubled pop star’s visitation rights.
Spears was hauled away from her home to a hospital by paramedics a day before, after police had to intervene when she refused to return the children to Federline after a court-monitored visit.
Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered another hearing to be held Jan. 14.
Federline had previously been awarded temporary custody of 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James because Spears has defied court orders, resulting in limitations on her visitation.
"I’m not happy about any of these events," Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said when he left a closed-door emergency hearing Friday afternoon. "There’s no winners here."
Federline was not in court for the hearing, Kaplan said.
The attorney had said he did not expect the ruling to be released until Monday, but it was issued shortly after the hearing concluded.
Law professor Steve Cron, who is not involved in the Spears-Federline matter, predicted that Spears will face sanctions from the court for her behavior.
"My guess is that she won’t be seeing her kids for a while," said Cron, who teaches at Pepperdine University in Malibu.
Gordon has little option other than to further reduce the time Spears can legally spend with her children, Cron said, "at least for the time being until she gets some help. She’s obviously a very troubled person."
The 26-year-old pop star remained hospitalized Friday.
Her latest troubles began around 8 p.m. Thursday when officers were called to her home to help resolve a dispute over her refusal to turn the children over to Federline, as dictated by their custody agreement.
It took two to three hours to resolve the conflict, said Officer Ana Aguirre.
"There was a time where she was within the residence and wasn’t available to be speaking to the officers, apparently," she said. "There was no threat to the children."
"Police resolved the conflict," Aguirre said. "Both children were turned over to her ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody, and she was in fact taken to a local hospital for medical treatment."
Early police reports said officers thought Spears might have been under the influence of some substance, but Aguirre said there was no evidence of that.
"Our understanding is that was not the case," she said.
Officers at the scene determined that paramedics "needed to be called" but it was unclear why, she said.
"We’re not aware of any type of injuries that she sustained" and she was not combative with authorities, Aguirre said.
Spears wasn’t arrested in connection with the custody dispute, Aguirre said.
"There was no actual crime that was involved," the police spokeswoman said.
Spears and Federline were married in October 2004. Her life has spiraled downward since their divorce in July. She has been photographed without underwear and appeared to be drunk and out of control in public. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and spent a month in rehab.
She had hoped to regain her pop crown with a much-hyped performance at MTV’s Video Music Awards in September, but it was universally panned by fans and critics.
Still, Spears’ latest album, "Blackout," earned positive reviews when it was released in October and brought Spears her first No. 1 hit in years, "Gimme More."
However, Spears remains a paparazzi target for her bizarre antics, which include frequent stops at gas-station bathrooms and holing up in a hotel room with a paparazzo.
Her 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, made headlines last month when she announced that she is pregnant.

Britney disappointed in Jamie Lynn


Britney Spears is reportedly less than pleased that she’s going to become an aunt next spring - because she had warned little sister Jamie Lynn Spears to steer clear of sex at such a young age. According to the People newspaper, Britney told a friend recently: “I’m really disappointed in her.” “I just can’t believe she’s pregnant. She is way too young to be a mum. She should be having fun and stuff, not having a baby.”
“I warned this girl, I really did. I told her over and over just to be a kid and let the adult things like sex and drinking and all that wait.” Britney then is said to have added that she’d had several heart-to-heart talks with Jamie Lynn over the last year and “she seemed to take my advice”.
But she is said to have also admitted that she realises she might not have set the best example for the Zoey 101 star: “I’ve done some pretty dumb stuff and haven’t been a good role model.”

Zoey 101 Show Will Go On



Jamie Lynn Spears’ shocking pregnancy will not affect her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101. The show finished production on next year’s fourth and final season, set to debut in September, according to the Hollywood Reporter. New episodes will continue to air until the third season wraps up next month.
The network issued a statement Wednesday: “We respect Jamie Lynn’s decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn’s well being.”
It is unclear, however, what repercussions her pregnancy will have on the show’s fanbase of impressionable kids. Barry Garron, chief TV critic for The Hollywood Reporter, tells Usmagazine.com: “If I’m Jamie Lynn Spears, I would start to think that my future is no longer with Nickelodeon, that I may have a future in acting, but it would be for a different audience, one that is not made up of little kids who hold her up as a role model.”

Who is Casey Aldridge?



For those of you who don’t know who the father of Jamie Lynn Spears child is, this is a picture of Jamie Lynn and Casey together.

Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant



Britney Spears’s 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. Nickelodeon, which carries her TV show Zoey 101, said in a statement: “We respect Jamie Lynn’s decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn’s well being.”
Spears and her mother confirmed the pregnancy, saying she was 12 weeks along and the father is Jamie Lynn’s longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge. Aldridge’s mother confirmed the news: “It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected,” Jamie Lynn told OK!, according to the Associated Press. “I was in complete and total shock and so was he.”
Spears told the magazine that after confirming the pregnancy with a home test and a subsequent doctor’s visit, she told only one friend – then waited two weeks before telling anybody else, including her parents. “I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision,” she told the magazine. “Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me.”
She told her parents just before Thanksgiving. “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious,” her mother, Lynne Spears, told OK!. “She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.” Aldridge’s mother, Joyce Aldridge, told TMZ she was “aware of the recent interview regarding her and being pregnant” and that “we are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn.”
“Everything is fine,” Joyce Aldridge added. Spears, a high school junior who is 10 years younger than Britney, had until now escaped much of the attention about her personal life that has surrounded her sister. Jamie Lynn stars as a schoolgirl at the fictitious Pacific Coast Academy in Zoey 101, finishing its third season next month as one of Nickelodeon’s highest-rated shows.
