LOS ANGELES (Jan. 28) - At least one Jamie Lynn Spears mystery is over.

The younger Spears sister's popular TV character is back at her fictional California boarding school, although the pregnant 16-year-old star of the children's show "Zoey 101" is continuing to stay out of the limelight herself.

OK!

Baby Shower for
Baby Sis

1 of 15    

Sisters Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears don't get to see each other very often for many reasons, but big sis Britney is in Louisiana to be at her sister's side when she gives birth. Seen together in this May OK! magazine cover, Spears went home to be at Jamie Lynn's baby shower.

"Zoey 101" concluded its third season last month, shortly before Spears, younger sister of Britney Spears, announced she was pregnant with her teenage boyfriend's child. The show has continued to air in repeats since then, with little fanfare from the network, leading to speculation that its fourth season might be shelved.

"The new season is under way. It premiered last night," Nickelodeon spokeswoman Marianne Romano told The Associated Press on Monday.

Filming of the show's fourth season, which was planned to be its last even before Spears became pregnant, was completed last summer.

The third season ended with a cliffhanger episode in which Spears' Zoey Brooks moves to England with her parents, only to learn that her longtime school friend Chase is in love with her.

The new season begins with another plot twist in which Chase (played by Errol Flynn's grandson Sean Flynn) persuades his family to send him to school in England, learning afterward that Zoey has returned and professed her love for him.

Spears, who once helped promote the show heavily, has kept a low profile since announcing that she is pregnant, and that Casey Aldridge is the father.

"She is on hiatus," her publicist, Holly Shakoor, said Monday.

:Look! Why do we worry about the Spears" family? There must be more important things in this world to be concerned about than this. People in our country are going hungry, have no where to live or do not have jobs to substain them and there families. But, that is OK, because the Spears family is a mess and needs all the press time they can get!!!

Next report will be. Casey Aldridge and Jamie Lynn Spears have decided to call it quits. In a joint statement, the couple who will share custody of their illegitimate child states, "While we have decide to end our relationship as teenaged lovers without a clue, we remain dedicated to the offspring we produced. We pray the public will leave our child alone and not post any pictures. Jamie remains in Lousiana living with her mother and preparing to attend the prom."

they need some sense, and their noses are ugly.

Why do ppl spend so much time judging others? Spears is no different then any other girl of that age. I work at a school for young teen mothers, and its very common for a 16 year old or even younger to walk into my school. She made a mistake, but it doesn't make her a bad person, it would be far worse if she ran to a clinic, but she is taking responsibility to raise her child, and she is still a child her-self. People need to remember that she is not Brittney, and she is not out there saying look at me Zoey 101 people I'm pregnant, you should do this. She is hiding so she doesn't give the young viewers any ideas. The girl and her baby need prayers, not people to judge them!!! Good luck honey, its hard to be a young mom and raise a baby!

nickalodeon and disney are jokes of companies anymore... these use to be companies for kids now they have underaged pregnant stars, porn tape stars like paris hilton hosting their award shows and other stars like that vanessa **** with nude photos all over the net.... ..

AMEN TO THAT> I won't even let my 9 yr old watch but one show. Hannah Montana and if that starts getting out of hand, that'll be pulled too! What happened to innocent children's shows? We watch Bindi the jungle girl on Discovery Health now. Why do 9 yr olds need to learn about dating, kissing boys and high school issues? Everything seems to be geared to a highschool level. Like the highschoolers would ever sit and watch this stuff?

Is that a d.ildo in her hand? Oh Hoey you're the best! I thought for sure Nickelodeon was gonna cancel your skanky azz but boy I was wrong. With teenage-girls having so much sex and pregnancys these days Nick did'nt want to let them down. Jamies new show GED for Hoey 69 aires this fall. Hoey 69 is the internet screen name of a teenage prom queen girl operating a porno site from home without her moms knowledge. Operating a porn site and dating married middle-aged men has never been funnier! Comedy 30 min, Sunday 7/8pm Central ,Nickelodeon. (1/2*)
