Good For Business

Filed under: TV News > Jamie Lynn Spears

This past Friday's season three finale of Zoey 101 got huge ratings for kids' station Nickelodeon.

The Jamie Lynn Spears show pulled in 7.3 million viewers for the hour-long episode. That's more than double the program's season average. Big numbers for cable.

Seems like kids don't care that the show's 16 year old star is pregnant. Heck, she's probably a role model!

the likelyhood that it was actually children watching is pretty slim - i think it was nosy adults

OMG! Aren't there laws about under aged CHILDREN being naked and having pix taken of them??? Pedophiles all over are hittn it now! This is disgusting and I can not believe that her parents aren't in deep s**t for this picture?? And There is nothing cool about being 16 and prego. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE!!!!

PS FIRST

I have seen worse role models. I think she is handling her pregnacy great and mature for most girls her age. I think most kids most likely know someone in their school already pregnant.

No way I let my 11 yr old watch that dumb idiot kid, those 7.3 million parents should be ashamed of themselves for giving any attention to that loose leg girl
Dania says – reply to this

Maybe now people will shut up about her being such a bad role model.
Apparently all parents are allowing their kids to watch the show.
So if they're okay with it, everyone should.
skye says – reply to this

28

I watched the show with my girls. We've even talked about her being pregnant, and that it's not a good idea to have a baby so young. I think this occuring could be used as a tool to show young girls that it can happen to anyone.
Dee says – reply to this

hope decent parents are seeing this trend and stopping their children from watching shows that employ very bad role models

THis is also sick and wrong! She is 16 years old and should not be paraded around like its glalm there is nothing fabulous about being 16 and knocked up it is fucking trash. Come on a teen knocked up on the cover is the last thing anyone wants to see except maybe a nutcase.

Kay says – reply to this

36

Actually, the reason why i watched hmm.. 15 minutes til the end was to try and figure out whether or not they'll shut her down for good from what it seems like. So its not a matter of watching it b/c we're so fascinated with her. I think we just want to get an idea of whether or not she's gone for good! Anyways her acting was terrible and she's off to London (in the show) but I guess season 4 she'll be back?
Megan says – reply to this

37

I think the saddest part of this whole ordeal is that it has become such a desensitized situation in our society. You think with all the communication available out there kids would figure out where babies come from and parents would realize that they really need to communicate with their children about it. Damn Lynn, good job.

who gives a shit if the girl is pregnant or not, if you don't like that she's on a magazine cover don't look at it, and if you think she's a poor role model don't watch the goddamn show…im sure everyone knows someone who this has happened to…

This picture is really sad—Not only is she too young to be pregnant but to parade her image in this ridiculous "get up" is disgusting. Does her mother care about this classless crap? hmmmm
Angie says – reply to this

WTF!!!???Are you ppl blind!!!???? I am thousands of miles away from US and all that Spears craziness yet I know this is Britney on the cover of Bazaar when SHE was pregnant!!!! And even if that wasn't Britney's body it is still obvious this is NOT Jamie!

Re: natalie –
Worse role models like her skanky sis. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and she will be knocked down and come on how great of a person and talented is she? She is only famous because her sis she is nothing. Assuming she is undereducated and missed sex education class

First I think they should of pulled Zoey 101 from Nickelodeon….Its an outrage that thousands of under age kids watch Zoey101 are now are going to think its okay to get preganant at 16 since her audience reaches out to the YOUNGER crowed!!!!! Is as if saying "hey we can get preganant and still make it like ZOEY which we all know life isn't the truth at ALL!!!!!!

My 6 year old niece was staying with me and I heard her tell her mom on the phone that she HAD to watch Zoe 101 over the weekend because it was not going to be on anymore because Jamie Lynn was pregnant. We had no idea how she knew that because we were trying to keep it from her. She watched the show this weekend and was weeping the whole time! Her mom had to get her a box of kleenex! It was so sad to see her so emotional over the whole thing. She wasn't crying over the show, she was crying because she was pregnant! So sad.

is this for real?!!

this is CHILD PORN!!!!
jac says – reply to this

52

Hmm. Well, since a child's pregnancy= high ratings.. looks like they should get their actresses to do this more often.
Jen says – reply to this

53

Why the fuck do you think the show should be pulled because she is pregnant? That is fucking retarded, like if it's not on the air, she won't REALLY be pregnant. TV and movies reflect real life and in real life, these 16 year old little whore REALLY get pregnant!

WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU BLIND PARENTS!
Lali says – reply to this

54

yay! This way she wont get fired!
and in a way she should be a role model
atleast she is keeping her baby and not murdering the baby through abortion

Why are they making it seem like it is a good thing that she is pregnant, she is 16!!! Just because she is famous that makes it a good thing!! I mean come on, she is still a child herself!! Someone needs to let her know that this is not good, otherwise she is going to turn out like her sister!!! Yikes!!! Then there will be be two of them running around!!!

My son is 12 and he watched it…he said he just wanted to see what was gonna happen to her..when I mentioned that she was pregnant and so this was probably the end of the show, he just rolled his eyes at me and said, she'll be back for another season after she has the baby…
AugustLeo says – reply to this

63

Who cares that she having a baby. It's a lot more teenagers younger than her having babies. Hollywood need to stop trippin and worry about other things in the world than Jamie Lynn and her sister.

Dear ROSIE the RETARD,

If your kids do things just because an actress on tc does it, then your children should be killed a horrible death!

No way in hell is this girl a role model for my daughters. I nixed this show as soon as I found out she was pregnant. Why the hell would any parent let their child watch the show after that news????
Jam says – reply to this

66

It might be those dirty old men tuning in to watch not the kids.

Lynn Spears is happy and brainstorming how to pimp her daughter out now. I wish that disgusting witch got cancer and die.
good for her says – reply to this

67

Hotter than most pregnant yucky women out there.
I believe it is illegal to fire a woman over getting pregnant. There's a past precedenent in the entertainment industry against Aaron Spelling. They can hide pregnancies pretty well now on shows.
gee says – reply to this

68

Yes i think she is a role model b/c she f#@$ed up and she is taking reponsibility! DONT pretend she is the only 16 year old to get pregnant you ass holes. She has more then enough $ to raise a baby unlike allot of young mothers. F&*^ all you you people who think your perfect!!!! Like you never F*&^ed b/4 u were married!!
sherry says – reply to this

Ok, now, is it me or she's got some weird hair there? Like… half blond, half black and kinda weirdly shaped. Freaky and creepy!

You are a awful parent and should not have the honor of raising or influencing a human life.

71

Please tell me that this is a fake picture!!!! This cannot actually be a cover that a publication like HB would print, can it? Well who the hell knows with the media these days…anything to sell mags…Oh well, why would anything surprise us at this point? If this is actually true, her parents (and her sis) need to get themselves to the nearest free clinic for some psychological help…
Nanci says – reply to this

IS THIS A REAL MAG COVER??? THIS IS JUST DISGUSTING. WHAT NOW WE ARE GLORIFYING TEEN PREGNANCY! NICE FAMILY THOSE SPEARS. DIDN'T HER MOTHER HAVE TO GIVE PERMISSION FOR HER TO DO THIS? I'M APPAULED!

——-

Role model for your daughters? Are you kidding me? Why was she in the first place? I'm sorry you let the teaching and parenting up to a tv character, but…

Yes, that keeps incompetent parents such as yourself from giving "the talk", doesn't it? Sheltering them from REALITY will pretty much guarantee many mistakes on their part in the future. Oh well, you are too dumb to know any better.. just keep doing what you are doing…
Geez.. they allow anyone to breed nowadays!

Re: deedee – Are you serious??? LOL! This photo is BLATANTLY photoshopped. Sucker!
Sara says – reply to this

75

There is a TV show called Reba which has a character who is a teen mom. I do not see how teen pregnancy on a TV show is a new issue. Also… it is not a big surprise that teens are sexually active. Sadly, not many parents are willing to address issues with their children about sex and pregnancy. I also think it is sexist how few people make men responsible for getting a female pregnant.
k.c. says – reply to this

76

Kids dont care about teen pregnancy……..they're kids!! Geez! Just because EVERYONE who is still living in 1968 thinks its the end of the world because Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant doesnt mean everyone thinks its shocking news. There are girls that are younger than 16 getting pregnant. And all kids care about is good TV. Hell, a lot of them probably dont even know she is pregnant. They just dont care about that crap!!!! MOVE ON FROM THE JAMIE LYNN SPEARS TOPIC!!!!!
meg says – reply to this

77

I don't like the fact that teens get pregnant but at least she is responsible about it and isn't getting an abortion. Not for nothin but there are a lot of sexually active teens in the world and people only get upset when they end up pregnant and then there are some sick people who tell them to get an abortion….

p.s.-Any intelligent person can see that isn't really her on the cover- they put her face on someone else's body.
Ricky says – reply to this

It's a fucking disgrace that this girl is being put on a pedestal for being nothing more then a very irresponsible teeny bopper idol, just sad America has stooped this low. Her parents should be shamed by this all.

Ok, call me an idiot…the IS a photoshopped pic of Britney…Weeewwww…that was close!!!! I almost thought that a member of the Spears family did something unbecoming and skanky…

Re: sherry – You could read other comments before you say anything. IT IS NOT JAMIE!!! IT'S BRITNEY'S PICTURE FROM WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT!!! THIS IS A PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURE!!!
alicia says – reply to this

81

Shes pregnant…so what. I dont remember when the last time was that I went a whole day without seeing a teenage mother. What is the big deal??? It happens. Just because she was lucky enough to have a good life and her own tv show doesnt mean she can't make a mistake. And if your teenage gets pregnant its not because she looked up to Jaime Lynn….honestly when is the last time you were thinking about your favorite tv star while having sex….if parents stop blaming famous people for your own shortcomings as a parent or your childs mistakes.
christine says – reply to this

82

Does anyone else see anything wrong with the fact that a 16 year old is posing practically naked? Who f'ing cares about Jamie Lynn other than the fact that she's yet another poor product the Spear's family.

I'm willing to bet the majority were adults (curious women, perverted men) as most moms I know have already had the talk with their kids about what a fucktard JL is and have banned the show in their houses.

How is a naked pic of a pregnant woman skanky?
I believe Demi Moore started the trend and she is classy imo.
Dania says – reply to this

Re: Joe –
God I hope not!
Just like the above poster said, if a child thinks being pregnant is suddenly cool because Jamie Lynn is, then their parents have to start asking themselves much more serious questions.
Like, why the hell their children have such fucked up brains.
It doesn't take someone 'mature' to decide not to get pregnant, really.
My 9-year old cousin who watches the show knows that.
God I can't believe the children are taking this better than the tabloids.
BTW THE ABOVE MAG COVER IS NOT REAL, ASSES.GOD.

Re: JILL – Uuuuumm actually most trends are first seen on celebs, They pretty much pave the way for fashion. But I guess it depends on your style and what you find fashionable. Sometimes the trends are pretty tasteless but thats fashion!! The editors of Fashion Mags know what they are doing, its all about who is hot at the moment. Business and money, its not always about who is the most fashionable.

I watched it…It was really good. I feel that the media needs to leave her alone. Tons of 16 year olds get pregnant everyday. Why don't y'all go and bother all of them. I should know, I just graduated from an all girls catholic school in '07.

this picture makes me want to vomit. A 16 year old pregnant girl on the cover of a mag????? come on. this should be considered kiddie porn and should be against the law- consenting or not.

Wow.. going to ban all shows where a pregnant teen is involved?
Might as well ban the tv period.
I don't understand the problem when the character is not pregnant.
sounds like parents trying to avoid and escape their responsibility of parenting in my opinion.
