A source tells us the interview, which hits stands tomorrow, is six pages and is on the record with Jamie Lynn and her mother. She tells the mag that the father is Casey Aldridge, who she has been dating for some time and first met at church. Brit's younger sister, star of Nick's "Zoey 101," says she's keeping the baby.
Sources tell us that she has not yet told her older sister. Well, she knows now.
UPDATE: Nickelodeon issued the following statement this afternoon: "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."
Everyone was buzzing over the new National Enquirer cover, which seems to suggest that Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16 year-old little sister of messed up beyond belief Britney, is pregnant. “Britney’s 16 year-old sister PREGNANCY BOMBSHELL” screams the title on the top of the cover of the rag, accented by a bright yellow background.
The bombshell is more like a dud sparkler, because Jamie Lynn Spears simply missed her period and was worried she could be pregnant. She told big sister Britney about it first, who kept it a secret for her and didn’t even think to tell her to get a pregnancy test. Jamie Lynn eventually broke down and told her mother, who freaked out and was pissed that Jamie Lynn told Britney first. Jamie Lynn finally took a pregnancy test and it turns out it was a false alarm.
A funny thing mentioned in the article is that K-Fed got mixed up in the family drama when Britney’s mom Lynne went over to his house with her ex husband, Jamie, to have a little family pow-wow and get K-Fed’s advice. Lynne was said to be worried that Jamie Lynn, the star of the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101, was about to throw away her chances at a career. It turns out it was all a false alarm, but K-Fed was understandably surprised that Lynn would involve him in the matter.
Jamie Lynn was also said to have received contraceptive advice from Britney, and it sounds like it was before she had the pregnancy scare. The way the article was worded makes it seem like Britney was reasonable about it, but this is the woman with two kids who thought she could breastfeed her baby again after not nursing him for several months. Do you think she knows enough to give her little sister adequate advice?

Spears is 12 weeks along and initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine, which hits stands in New York on Wednesday and the rest of the country by Friday.
After she found out from a doctor that she was pregnant, she said, "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody."
"Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me," she said.
Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, which made the already grandmother to Britney's young sons very upset, the magazine was quoted as saying.
"It wasn't what she expected at all," Spears said. "A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
"I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby," said Lynne Spears.
"Zoey 101" is scheduled to conclude its third season Jan. 4 with a cliffhanger episode in which Spears' character must decide whether to leave her fictional Pacific Coast Academy boarding school in California to join her parents in London.
The show is scheduled to resume in February, and its producer, Dan Schneider, has said filming on the fourth season has already been completed.
