What’s New With Jamie Lynn Spears?
As I was writing a post about Britney Spears the other day, I couldn’t help but wonder what was new with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, and that cute little baby she had some time ago. It seems that Jamie Lynn has definitely faded into the background and become known only as “Britney Spears’ sister”, despite my attempts to prevent that from happening. But, there seems to be a lot that’s new with Britney’s lil sis. She’s dumped her baby daddy, Casey Aldridge, and hooked up with someone quite a bit older than her. His name is James Watson and he’s everything Jamie Lynn needs. He’s ten years older than she is, she can see a future with him, and he’s got money. Sounds like a match made in heaven, doesn’t it? From Bump Shack,
“Britney Spears’ little sister Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly broken up with her baby daddy Casey Aldridge and she has already found a new love, a 28 year-old local businessman by the name of James Watson.
The mother of the 19-month old Maddie Briann and James, who owns a company called Advanced Multimedia Partners, started dating last December and they are apparently really happy together. James is more mature, ambitious and a big spender, which is something that Jamie enjoys in a man.
“He installs communications equipment and high-definition TVs for large corporations,” the source says. “James enjoys making money — and enjoys spending it too.”
“They started dating last December,” a source tells Star. “I don’t think James cares at all about who she is; they really seem to like each other.”
Jamie could not imagine a future with Casey since he is young, immature and not exactly career oriented. The 18 year-old mom only stayed with her baby’s daddy for good publicity. “Even when she was pregnant, she didn’t really see a future with him,” a friend tells Star. “She only gave the impression of staying with him so long because it looked better in the eyes of the public.”
Okay firstly, I’m not buying the whole bit about how Jamie Lynn stayed with Casey because it looked good in the eyes of the public. Since when did either of the Spears’ girls what looked good to us? And good on them for it! Not to mention the fact that Jamie Lynn has been out of the eye of the public for quite some time. So, if this whole thing with her and Casey just went down recently, I highly doubt she was staying with him for appearances’ sake.
It does disappoint me that Jamie Lynn is so eager to be with someone because they have money. And I don’t know that an 18-year-old dating a 28-year-old is such a good idea either. But since when did Jamie Lynn Spears ever make good decisions? Sadly, it’s easy to see why she did only become known as Britney Spears’ sister.

On Sunday Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby daughter, Maddie,was rushed to the University of Mississippi Medical Center with a fractured skull after he crashed his car with 3 other passengers in it. It sounds like everyone’s going to be okay and while Casey is still in the hospital under observation, it doesn’t sound as though there will be any permanent damage. Casey was coming home from a bachelor party and so I suspect that he had alcohol in his system, not that I’m quoting that as fact at this point, it’s just purely suspicion on my part. So far there has been talk of possible charges but nothing official has been announced. From Pop Crunch,
Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly smartened up and realized that this is not the 1950s and just because you’ve gone and gotten yourself knocked up, it doesn’t mean that you need to run down the wedding aisle. She has called off the wedding that was to take place between herself and Casey Aldridge, daddy to their little girl Maddie Briann. And that’s not the only change she has made. She has also decided that she no longer needs to act and will remain at home, being a Southern mom. From Gossip Rocks,
I saw reports that Jamie Lynn was pregnant for a second time just a short three months after giving birth to her daughter, Maddie Briann, and initially, I laughed it off as the National Enquirer trying to sell copies of their rag once again. However, there are now several people picking up the story, which always makes me give it more credit, and her reps are denying it. Now I find that usually when the reps start talking, there’s something to hide or something to share. When the news is no news, reps usually can’t be bothered squashing every rumor. From the Enquirer,
As a curious blogger, I am all for the whole ‘you lost your privacy rights when you starred in that tv show’ mentality however, I think that there are some lines that just can’t be crossed…Celebrities getting dressed and undressed without their knowledge is not cool, taking pictures at funerals is a no-no, and messing with the kids is just unthinkable. But it seems that someone has tried to do just that as Jamie Lynn was caught on camera breastfeeding new baby Maddie.
I never really thought about what celebrities must think when they read about other celebrities in the news, but the recent news of Bristol Palin becoming pregnant must have struck a very obvious chord with Jamie Lynn Spears. It seems that Lynne Spears has made a call to Petit Tresor and ordered that baby girl burp cloths be sent to Bristol and that they be sent in Jamie Lynn’s name. One does have to wonder if the story is true because the news of the pregnancy is so recent that it’s doubtful that Jamie Lynn would know the sex. From Celebitchy,
So we haven’t actually heard all that much about new mom Jamie Lynn Spears since she had little baby girl Maddie Briann and her sister, Britney reportedly had a breakdown in the hospital. I never believed those Britney rumors either but it’s nice to see Jamie Lynn and her mom, Lynne Spears out and about shopping with the little bundle in tow. The older mother and daughter seemed to be getting along just fine with the little darling all covered and protected from the view of the paparazzi.
Whoever said you can’t live off of someone else’s happiness didn’t know Lynne Spears. The cover of her book Through the Storm has recently been released on the Internet and although the book is supposed to be about the life of raising two teen girls, Britney and Jamie Lynn, as well as her husband, Jamie Spears and their son, Brian Spears, only Lynne appears on the cover. I think that this is a true testament as to what the book is really about. It’s about Lynne. And how she is willing to do whatever it takes to exploit her family’s fame as well as their downfalls in order to make the almighty buck. Here is what US says the book is about,
There’s no doubt that Britney Spears is becoming the girl-next-door that we all originally fell in love with when the pop star exploded onto the music scene. She has turned over a new leaf for sure, going in a few short months from crazy psychopath to loving homebody. Spears has been making big moves, trying to show the public, her family, the courts, and herself that she can live life as a normal human being and even more than that, she can be a loving and devoted mother. Now that Britney has regained visitation rights with her two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James. She even had her mother over at one of their recent sleepovers and has been spending some girl-bonding time with her mom, Lynne Spears. And it sounds like they made quite a pretty picture.
