Nice alias, Alex Keaton. I'd be ashamed of that bunch of garbage, too. Nothing to do with the teen queen situation.
I do agree with Sad Dad. It's a shame that we've come down to having these empty headed twits with the morals of alley cats establishing themselves as role models for our youth. How about promoting people who practice personal responsility for a change! Oh, I forgot. That doesn't sell. No wonder the country is going to H*** in a handbasket!
K-Fed is the daddy!
Haha...funny ass comments. Jamie Lynn Spears is hot & all but I gotta agree with most of these comments when they say 'Like Mother, Like Sisters.' I would do her maybe if she was like 2 years older, I'm surprised why the state isn't filing the father for screwing an under age girl. Oh well, I guess if I was doin Jamie & I got her pregnant I'd be pretty grateful that the state wouldn't file me with that stuff.....WHORE!!!
Yep... ain't America wonderful? Land of throwing rocks just cuz we can. First at Tigers because we're three little sadists, then at this girl cuz she is more famous than you.
Now, after we're done stoning this young lass for doing what most of you wish you could at that age, we need to go back and rewrite history for another young tramp who had to give birth in an animal shed. If Mary at 17 (or 14, depending on the biblical scholar one reads) can spit kid and you can make a religion of 'peace' and 'love' and 'compassion', then maybe we'll get to the root of the issue here: you want your puritanical control over others -- or degrade them when their situation has NOTHING to do with you.
Bunch of sad little bigots hiding behind their cross throwing stones at some preggers teen. WWJD? He surely would be rolling in his cave over what comes spewing out of your hateful fingers. Give the chick a break -- it's HER life she's defined, not anyone elses. If your spawn is so poorly parented that you fear they'll run out and get knocked up just like their teen TV star, then you need to be casting invective in the mirror, not at this girl.
Bloody hypocrites will destroy what remains of America.
I really hope Nickelodeon does can the show. I saw two young girls in the magazine section last night at Barnes and Noble. The first thing they did was grab a copy of the OK magazine with the Jamie Lynn pregnancy story on the cover. I kept asking myself, what are they learning from this? Are they learning that if you get pregnant at 16 you'll get all the attention in the world, including a million dollars for your story? Or are they learning that at 16 society finds this type of behavior to be unacceptable?
Until I read about the possible cancellation of her shows final episodes, I didn't see anyone standing up and publicly saying or even insinuating that her actions stand out as a horrible role model for girls her age and younger.
That said, my sister got pregnant at 16 a few decades ago. It had a huge embarrassing impact on our entire family. I was three years behind my sister in school in a very small town. I had to deal with the embarrassment of her pregnancy everyday as friends and even teachers would bring the subject up on a regular basis. There was no doubt in my mind that people saw her behaviour as inappropriate.
You know, after all is said and done, by the end of the day, the ones that are going to suffer are the children. These girls are so self centered and self absorbed, they are putting themselves before the children.
This is the 21st Century. With all of the contraceptive alternatives avaialbe, there is no excuse for getting pregnant - unless you just don't care.
We will just have to wait and see how mature Jamie really is. As with Britney, if I were the judge, after missing the last deposition, I would have had her arrested for contempt, taken a little of her freedon from her and then seen how humble she can become then.
I want the network to not only cancel her show but to stop airing any episodes whether they were programmed before she got preganant or not.
Stop airing her shows PERIOD. I want our daughters to know how seriously we take this and that society should not condone it.
Stop airing her shows yesterday.
With all due respect, 'scum' frequently rises to 'the top'! However, WE are responsible too because if we simply 'ignored' them we would have more time to teach our children and grandchildren the difference between right and wrong. Yes, it is a shame for Jamie, but with 'supporters' like Federlein, who needs enemies!!!
Britney Spears is ill, and is more to be pitied than censured.
She's probably suffering fron bipolar disorder and god knows what all else. The worst possible things for her is her fame and money and party-girl lifestyle and all the attention that goes with them. She is generating a self-destructive negative feedback loop, the more media attention she gets, the more she acts out, drawing more media attention. The rubbernecking of the masses just feeds the flames of this human trainwreck.
The best thing for Britney would be for her to go live on some little island somewhere for a few years with some people who really have her best interests at heart, away from the media and the paparazzi and the big city nightlife and all the leeches and vampires and enablers, and get treatment for her mental illness.
Jamie Lynn is a simpler, more straightforward story. She is going through what thousands (millions?) of teen girls go through every year.
She could have quietly had an abortion, probably kept it on the QT, and kept her career, which was headed nowhere but up, with millions of dollars in front of her, low hanging fruit. She elected not to. That took guts and principals, and obviously a great many Americans will say she did the right thing under the circumstances.
Will she ever have to make a more difficult decision in her life? Will anyone? I think we can all sympathize.
While obviously what JLS is going through should not be portrayed as OK to our children, it's also important to teach she should not be hated or vilified for it.
Seize the teachable moment and explain to your 'tween age children the very serious life-altering possible consequences of engaging in sexual activity.
It's easy to hate, especially rich pop stars. We should look deeper.
Don't engage with the exploitative commercial media feeding frenzy, and be careful what we say to our kids, with the judging and hating and vilifying.
That's no better for them than being exposed to what your are damning.

Most of the trashy comments here say more about the people making them than the intended subject. As for Nickelodeon taking the advice of 'View' co-host Sherri Shepherd, the stupidest woman on television (who apparently thinks the world is flat and pronounces a certain Democratic candidate's name as 'Bobama'), by canceling 'Zoey 101' because of some imagined negative message in keeping it on, that is beyond ridiculous. Have these people watched the show? Basically, 'Zoey 101' is dumb physical comedy on the 'Gilligan's Island' level, with no message ever intended. If it makes sense to punish all the fans of a given show, not to mention the rest of its cast and the people working behind the camera, all because of the negative news stories of its star, why wasn't the same reaction given when a star did something much worse than just get pregnant? Why don't they cancel '24' after Kiefer Sutherland's arrest, not to mention my favorite show 'Lost' after half the cast was arrested on DUIs? You know the countless other examples of stars putting people in danger and it never affecting the shows they are attached to, because usually those other people have enough clout to deflect the unjust association. The other stars of 'Zoey' and its fans being kids, however, makes the difference of them being powerless to protect themselves. The networks love scandalous stars, but apparently they love picking on misfortunate little girls even more.
You really need to lay off of people in trailer parks. You know what? They have their own trailer without having to to pay a mortgage or a car payment and able to live their lives without debt on their back. Just because a couple of sluts comes from one doesn't mean everybody is like that. Just leave trailer folk alone already.
What a bunch of tripe?
The same thing could happen to 90% of female tv stars.
Fire them? Some teenage girls who are pregnant continue going to school. So exactly what is the big deal of the castigating and firing of this girl?
Are we entering a new age of morality here?
And where are the ladies who should be there for her? If nothing more than principal, about what is happening her
This girl needs support. She is not the first girl to unintentionally get pregnant
Women helping Women? What a joke.
Well done if they do. Well done if they don't. Now anyone that a famous or almost so famous does outside their work is more interesting then what they do at work! So what a 16yr old got pregnant. Hum let see. I grew up in Harlem NY. What did I see (15-17yr with kids) I move to Florida and what do I see Hmm 18-20yrs with 3yr old kids and some with 2-3 kids at 20* That never seem to hit the news?! Now if there's any blame it should be the mother who was not keeping tabs on her little daughter. Let alone the older sister should not have been around while her Ooops I Mess up Again!!! And Again please forgive me :-( boo hoo** to be a role model! Society is very judgmental in everything that someone else does but not on themselves. From Paris Hilton to Tila Tequila or From Katie Homes to Jessica Simpson or American idols Jessica Sierra to Hulk Hogan's Son Nick. Stop this madness and take this as it is. These people are Human. And this idea that because they are very rich, have a reality show, a TV show, or just plain famous. This not makes this real news! But wait I know it's only news because we are very bored.
My daughter loves the show. She's oblivious about Jamie being pregnant, as we don't let her watch those kinds of shows or visit those sites, or read OK magazine. I think it's a quality show...
Seems like the network turning their back on her, is like a modern day form of the Scarlett Letter. Punishing her publicly for a 'sin' that is really no ones business but her and her family. Have we gotten so PC that we've regressed to puritan punishments?
She got pregnant... Stuff happens. That doesn't mean that the show should automatically get pulled. How many celebs have been 'bad' and their shows kept airing?
If parents don't want their kids watching Zoe 101, then turn the channel. The power is in the remote control...
This just shows u we have some real problems. Gone are the days when young starlet just left the public eye for a while and gave the baby up or it appeared in it's teen. People get real this sort of thing has always happen
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH THE TOUGH GET KICKS OUT. MESSAGE FOR YOUR KIDS TODAY IF YOU MESS UP YOU HAVE NO CHANCE. DO NOT BECOME FAMOUS AND NO ONE CAN JUDGE YOU FOR YOUR MISTAKE. KIDS REMEMBER CRACK IS WACK! DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! USE PROTECTION WHILE HAVING SEX AND SMOKING IS BAD! DON'T USE DRUG,DRIVE SLOW,STAY HOME,GO TO CHURCH,READ A BOOK AND LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS. BEST OF ALL STAY IN SCHOOL. I think that this is why 70% of kids do the things they do. enough!
Boyfriend is not the father. She was knocked up by a Nickolodeon exec. The boyfriend was merely paid to stand in. This is a statutory rape case and it is being covered up.
Alex Keaton ... how original. With the garbage you wrote below it sounds like you should be working as a writer for Nick!

What is all this role model talk? GWBush was arrested for selling cocaine in 1985 at the Miami Intl Airport by DEA agents. Multiple DUI's and drug arrests. AWOL while in service. GWBush for decades has engaged in homosexual sex with Victor Ashe, his college roomate at 2 seperate all-male cheerleading schools. GWBush ordered the slaughter of 10,000's of pets and animals following Katrina, ordered our military to war based on lies, has destroyed our real estate industry just like he did in Texas and the S&L scandals......wait.....Jamie Lynn is a role model and should be impeached from her TV show??!!'
Jamie Lynn's parents are the generation of rebellious kids who were always having to follow their parents rules. Now that they are adults, they promised themselves they'd never do that to their kids - so they don't parent at all.
Tah dah! Now you have Britney and Jamie Lynn as examples of what non parenting can do. Mom tries to be a friend instead of a parent.
Bring back spanking. It worked for me and I had no ill side effects from it except to respect my parents.
Jamie Lynn claims 'it was an accident' - NOT! If you have unprotected sex then you PLANNED it. There are NO accidents in sex. Either you are protected and use the protection properly, or not. It's black and white.
Keep it in your pants until you are able to handle the potential consequences. If you have 'an accident' then deal with whatever comes along with it. You may lose your job and money and family and the other person involved. Don't expect the rest of us to help you or feel sorry for you.
Now some in surance company will have to cover the costs of her pregnancy which is ultimately passed to the consumer in higher premiums. Get these kids fixed or something. Some people should NEVER breed - namely anyone with a last name of SPEARS.
Good think no teenage girls have access to the internet. They'll NEVER know she is pregnant. What are you guys talking about?! The fans of that show knew she was pregnant before ANYONE at Disney...heck, the probably knew Jamie Lynn was pregnant before Jamie Lynn even knew!!!!!!!
