The teen star arrived at the hospital at 4 a.m. and gave birth several hours later to a girl, named Maddie Briann, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces. “Both mom and baby are healthy and happy,” a rep for Jamie Lynn told OK! magazine. “They are surrounded by their close relatives, including Jamie Lynn’s older sister Britney, mother Lynne, father Jamie and brother Bryan.”

  2. scarface • June 19, 2008 @ 3:45 PM

    i can imagine Maddie Briann (wtf) pregnent 17 years later

  3. ur mom • June 19, 2008 @ 11:25 PM

    she should give her baby up for adoption because if the baby grows up in the spears family, it will be a huge skanks like Britney and Jamie lynn.

  4. tammy • June 20, 2008 @ 2:52 AM

    If she’s as talented as previous generations of Spears women, the world will be richer for her existence.

  5. Sergio • June 20, 2008 @ 3:26 AM

    Too much dysfunctionality running in that family lol

  6. Sammy • June 20, 2008 @ 7:29 AM

    Lets try not to punish an infant that is 1 day old for the actions of her mother and aunt. We should hope that the child has a great life – we don’t pick our relatives.

  7. sheila • June 20, 2008 @ 8:11 AM

    aww come on people–were all human -don’t judge someone for their actions–think we all sinned sometime or another–just because their in the limelight doesn’t mean their god.
    congrats on the arrival of healthy baby .
    hope to see Britney , Jamie on the telly again..beautiful girls and all so talented

  8. tammy • June 20, 2008 @ 8:48 AM

    lets just hope the daddy stays around…

  9. Stephanie • June 20, 2008 @ 8:50 AM

    Congrats Jamie Lynn, I’m sure she’s a beauty. I don’t know who in their lives hasn’t made a mistake or two, and people shouldn’t judge either Spears girls. Come on peeps, really. I have never met a perfect person yet.

  10. Lambage • June 20, 2008 @ 9:01 AM

    How much for the first baby pic?

  11. Nancy • June 20, 2008 @ 9:11 AM

    Couldn’t agree more, Sammy!

  12. Sonny • June 20, 2008 @ 9:16 AM

    Trailer-trash!

  13. Valerie • June 20, 2008 @ 10:12 AM

    Do either of these women(using the word loosely) know when to keep their legs closed. What good is being a mother, if you cant take care of your children.

  14. Dan • June 20, 2008 @ 11:12 AM

    i hope the child has a happy life…But Tammy, the world is richer for their existance…You watch too much Disney channel!!!

  15. tributegirl • June 20, 2008 @ 6:23 PM

    Hey, Dan, don’t worry about it, that wasn’t tammy that said that, and it wasn’t me at 5:48pm either. It’s just some twerp who comes on here & uses other peoples names to make it look like they say these stupid things, we refer to him/her as “double”. If you just watch peoples typing styles, you can usually tell if it is the double or not. Just do what the rest of us do, and ignore the simpleton.

  16. Dan • June 20, 2008 @ 6:28 PM

    How do I know YOU’RE not the double??

  17. Feldman • June 20, 2008 @ 6:32 PM

    Good point, Dan!

  18. tributegirl • June 20, 2008 @ 6:35 PM

    Funny double.

  19. Nancy • June 21, 2008 @ 12:24 AM

    Because the rest of us who know Tributegirls style of writing can vouch for her.

  20. tributegirl #2 • June 21, 2008 @ 1:29 AM

  21. Anonymous • June 21, 2008 @ 1:34 AM

    She’s going to be a great mom!

  22. tributegirl • June 21, 2008 @ 6:51 PM

    Thanks, Nancy! And the smiley put on here earlier today wasn’t me either. Double is really sick in the head.

  23. amanda • June 22, 2008 @ 10:19 AM

    congats to jamie-Lynn! I wish your baby and family the very best!!

    I don’t pay much attention to the Spears anymore because I think they deserve some time in the low light. people make mistakes….haven’t you guys ever sinned?

  24. tributegirl2 • June 22, 2008 @ 4:14 PM

    Disney really needs to give Jamie Lynn a break about bringing another baby into the world; “Zoey 101” hasn’t been the same without her.

  25. Nancy • June 22, 2008 @ 4:40 PM

    Hey Tributegirl, if only I had known!! Zoey 101 is my fave! We should get together sometime and watch it!!………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..NOT!! Get a life, double!!!

  26. tributegirl #2 • June 22, 2008 @ 7:11 PM

    I’m there if you are!

  27. tributegirl • June 22, 2008 @ 8:06 PM

    Wow, double really has a hate-on for me lately. Ah well, if I am the most interesting thing is this persons life, so be it. I just can’t imagine having that much time on my hands.
    Sure Nancy, and while we are at it, why don’t we watch the Hannah Montana movie? Again…NOT!!! LOL
    I think I’d rather jump off a cliff with my *ss on fire!

  28. tributegirl #2 • June 22, 2008 @ 9:27 PM

    I thought you might!

  29. hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm • June 23, 2008 @ 3:54 AM

    you people are being stupid. teenagers get pregnant all the time and nobody calls them sluts and skanks. just because jamie lynn is in the spotlight does not mean people have to judge her. also britney had a mental illness and she seems to be doing much better now.

  30. tributegirl #2 • June 23, 2008 @ 7:12 AM

    Britney is a major talent.

  31. tammy • June 23, 2008 @ 9:01 AM

    Hey tributegirl thank you for the comment…I’m glad you can tell which one is actually me…and seriously eh this double needs to get a life….as to the Spears girls…I think their family doctor should give them a box of birth control pills….

  32. L1feless • June 23, 2008 @ 9:03 AM

    Proof that one cannot chose their relatives. Lets just hope that their mother and Aunt have little to no influence on this new born.

  33. Mother of two • June 23, 2008 @ 12:12 PM

    Who are you to judge… How is that Jamie Lynn being a teenage mother different than lets say your teenage daugther. Lets be honest some of you was a teenage mother. Because the are famous, they don’t get to have a life, sorry but some of you should get a life. No one has the power to judge another person, the little baby just got born and already she is not worthy because of her family, hello… take a look around you, for I’m sure some of you are not worthy……

  34. Tiredofitall • June 23, 2008 @ 12:29 PM

    “teenagers get pregnant all the time and nobody calls them sluts and skanks.” Yeah, they do. What are you talking about?

    “Lets be honest some of you was a teenage mother.” Well, I wasn’t. Neither was my mother. She told me it was better to get an education first before getting married (‘haha, how old fashioned,’ I bet you’re thinking) and having kids. And because of that, I know how to spell amd how to speak using proper grammar. “Some of you was a teenage mother”? Yikes.

    And who are we to judge? Who do we have to be? We need to use judgement in life. If you don’t, you wind up in a bad situation. We should judge more often – who we hang with, who we emulate, what we want to do with our lives.

  35. tammy • June 23, 2008 @ 2:02 PM

    Tiredofitall right on….your a smart cookie..

  36. Angela • June 23, 2008 @ 4:10 PM

    Tiredofitall, you really do judge, I guess I must be a skank and a slut, being 19 and having a child, but oh my god I am using proper grammar that can’t be right?!?! What is the world coming too, two or 3 generations ago this was common practice, does this make grandma a slut and a tramp because she had kids at the tender age of say 18 omg!!! To judge someone because they are young and have given birth to a child, that makes you the ignorant one. A baby is a blessing, regardless of who her grandma, or aunt is.

    Jamie-Lynn is the mother not them, she doesn’t have to listen to them, she is raising the child. The fact of the matter is all we see of these people is what the media chooses to divulge, usually the bad, we never see any of the good things they may do, and because she is young we are quick to judge.

    I’m not saying that it couldn’t have been prevented, because with the bith control today, there is no reason to get pregnant unexpectedly, or so you think, it does happen, it can happen, but that doesn’t make us skanks, and no we are not opening our legs to just anybody. I view this pregnancy as a blessing, yes I know that I am young and in that aspect alone it is going to make it that much harder, with not as much life experience, BUT that does not mean they we are incompetent, my mother had her first child at my age, she was neither a slut or anything. My brother is the most accomplished person that I know, he has a beautiful house, has an amazing job, he is in no way messed up and what do you know he was raised by a “skank” who had a child as a teen holy god!! the end of the world.

    I truly wish the best for Jamie-Lynn and her new daughter Maddie Briann and I hope that things work out between her and the boyfriend and I believe that she will be a great mom despite what everyone has said and continues to say about her.

  37. Tiredofitall • June 23, 2008 @ 4:54 PM

    Just read your post over again Angela, and I want to clarify. I think we may be talking about two different things. Women who have children at a young age are not considered sluts or skanks – it’s unmarried women. Not the age. And it’s undeniable that people are thinking that, that’s what I’m saying. Just this weekend I was at an event and there was an unmarried teenager with a baby. I overheard someone say “I feel sorry for her baby.” And that was my point in the first place. People look at unmarried young women and feel sorrow for their children. And don’t think highly of the girls who get into that predicament. It’s the children who suffer. If you’ve done a great job raising your kid in that situation, kudos to you. But it’s placing an unnecessary hardship on your kid. It’s not easy growing up without a dad, so why do that to a kid on purpose?

  38. tammy • June 23, 2008 @ 5:02 PM

    My mother had my brother right after she got married and that was right after she graduated from high school….that was back then…now a days…and I’m not speaking for everyone but from the people I know and talk to there are things that we want to do and have before we have kids….and in the Spears’ situation I think the only reason that alot of people are putting them down is because maybe their not ready to be mothers…for example Britney she can’t even take care of herself let alone 2 boys…I know when I was Jamie’s age I was partying all the time and I don’t blame Britney for doing it because she’s still young but when you just had 2 boys you can’t do that…you have responsibilities(sorry if I didn’t spell that properly tiredofitall) but once you have kids you no longer come first, your child does…but that’s just my opinion…

  39. tammy • June 23, 2008 @ 5:06 PM

    Definitely tiredofitall there should be 2 parents when a child is born…and both parents should want the child not just one…

  40. Angela • June 23, 2008 @ 5:11 PM

    What is wrong with being young and having a child, I just don’t understand, maybe you can make me understand. Does it mean that we will be a burden on society, on your taxes or something? all young people that have children are welfare cases? Perhaps not two generations, but three or four yes I do think it was normal absolutely.

    My friend, his mom is so young, she had him at 18, and now she is a high end lawyer. If anything, having a child so young would make you want to pull your life together. I mean regardless if I was pregnant or not I would go to school, not for the child, but for me. It won’t cost me anymore then if I had a kid or not, its still a loan.

    Everyone that I know, they’re parents had them young, and all are successful accomplished people. I would rather have my child while I am young if anything, I can better relate to them, while still being a parent. As well just because we are young does not make us not mature, I am no different then say that 25 yr old who has a career having a child. Yes they may be more finacially secure, but does that mean anything? it will not make them a better or more responsible parent. I have everything that they could have, I have parents who love and support me, a boyfriend who is beside me every step of the way.

    You people can go and have your stupid careers I don’t care, I’ll still graduate before my friends, and truthfully in Canada, in NS, to go to school is an accomplishment. I mean whats a year gonna do, I know many people who have done the 4 yrs of school and for what? their bachelors degree still has them working at mcdonalds, That is a waste of time and money, I have a year left of school, am about $30,000 less in debt and will have a career, to me, that makes more sense to me. Yes I have to put off a year of school bc of when she is scheduled, so what big deal, its not the end of the world.

    we make as much as any other middle-class couple, make what my parents make, maybe a little less. And that’s w/o careers, but bc I’m young I’m second class for becoming pregnant, don’t y’all know the only young people who are pregnant are the ones opening their legs, and that is such a stereo-type it’s really sad the way older adults think (I mean above the age of 20-21etc), it truly is, we are no different then any other person.

    so let me direct this question to every person here older then us, older then a teen, why are we judged and looked down upon for being pregnant young? I would love to hear your reasoning for putting another human being down.

  41. Angela • June 23, 2008 @ 5:19 PM

    In this day and age, why does somebody have to be married to have a child? That is a very old way of thinking, Really what is the difference between being married and not? The only difference is when you are married you get a certificate saying your married. not everyone believes in marriage, I’m not saying that I don’t, but to get married bc of that child is the wrong thing to do, it should be the last reason to get married, get married bc you love eachother and want to spend the rest of your life together, not bc its the right thing to do, the right thing often ends up the wrong thing and then you end up divorced, a custody battle, or the father leaves, that is even worst for that poor child, for them to go through that. I would never expect someone to get married bc someone thought it was the right thing, getting married for all the wrong reasons is never right.

  42. tributegirl • June 23, 2008 @ 8:35 PM

    Angela, I am not judging you based on your age or the choices you’ve made. If you are happy with your choices, and can support this child, and raise her in a loving supportive environment, that’s all that really matters. When I was your age I wanted a baby, but didn’t have one then, I did wait until I had a stable career (financial security for myself and the child) and a stable, long term relationship, I was 24 when my first was born. Now that I look back, I am very happy that I waited, it would have been so much harder to get my education and get my chosen career started if I also had a small child to worry about.
    You’ve made your choice, and that’s fine, but please, please, please, do not put your education off, because if you do, it is so much harder to go back to school. Make sure you and your boyfriend get the education you want, and end up in the careers you want, and work really hard at your relationship. And if it ever ends, stay friends, for your childs sake!

  43. bibitte • June 24, 2008 @ 8:52 AM

    well if she wants to have a baby its ok, but she just have to make shur she dosen’t become like her sister britney or she will messe up her own life…

  44. jennie_bearz • June 24, 2008 @ 4:27 PM

    Angela I am with you girl…. I must be a real big slut,skank,tramp and all that fun stuff considering I had a chilkd at 16 and another at 21… Oh my but wait their both by the same father but were NOT married so how does that make me a skank and all that fun stuff… and please tell me if you know so much about Jamie Lynn and want to call her a slut and all that then you must know how many guy’s she’s been with …RIGHT?? oh that’s right you don’t you just want to call her that because she is having a child at a young age well i’m sorry but that bye no means makes the girl a slut or skank… Oh and Tiredofitall were talking about JAMIE LYNN not BRITNEY so why do you feel you need to judge her by what her sister has done ???? For all you know she may have learned by her sisters misstakes and do better… and Im sorry but having kids does not stop you from doing what you want to do in life it is just a little blessing that you bring along with you in your life experiences….

  45. tributegirl • June 24, 2008 @ 4:40 PM

    Are there any other guys in your town?

  46. Nancy • June 24, 2008 @ 4:41 PM

    Jennie_bearz….at least you admit that you are!!! ROFFLMFAO!!! 🙂

  47. Nancy • June 24, 2008 @ 4:45 PM

    Isn’t that like the first step….denial?

  48. tributegirl • June 24, 2008 @ 4:55 PM

    She’s one step ahead of Jamie Lynn!

  49. Honest Phil • June 24, 2008 @ 8:10 PM

    Jamie Lynn is ahead of everyone, double.

  50. Angela • June 24, 2008 @ 8:31 PM

    I’ll say it again and this time I’ll direct towards you Nancy and you Tributegirl, what makes you better than anyone else here? Whether you have children or not I do not know, whether you waited til you were older I do not know, what I do know is that you people are disgusting, to look down upon someone for having a child young is just ignorant. Do you personally know Jamie-Lynn and know what kind of person she is? I was unaware you were so close to her.

    I’ve read what people say on here and they are truly truly ignorant. Turning your nose down at someone because they did something that you may not believe in, shows the ignorance that we possess as a society, I thought this was a new day and age where people were able to except the changing world, clearly I was wrong. Whether you are 16 or 36 when you have a child, should it matter? Shouldn’t the number one priority be the welfare of that child and not what we think of the mother? If anything I commend Jamie-Lynn, she could have had an abortion not worried about it and continued her life, but no she took responsibility for her actions as did her boyfriend, and that makes her skanky, a slut? This child will probably have a better life then most children are accustomed too, and the girl does look like she has a good head on her shoulders, she’s seen the mess that her sister became, and the children being taken away. I think she will be an excellent mother and I commend her for moving on with her life despite what people have said about her, it takes a courageous person to not hide away from the media and the cruel comments that people have directed toward her.

    I know the comment was not directed toward me, but I still take offense to it, as children we were taught in school to respect people despite the choices and decisions that they make and never judge someone because someone else did, I know that she can stick up for herself, but it really burns my @$$ that people are so judgmental in this day and age, it makes me sick that people need to put others down to what feel better about themselves? As children you would have been considered the bully, in high school you’d be the mean girls that can make a girl have low self-esteem and hate herself, and yet your adults and you still do it, my dears high school is over. Most of us learned to behave like adults and leave the childness behind; well I guess not all of us.

  51. Nancy • June 24, 2008 @ 8:56 PM

    Jeeze Angie, lighten up!! My comments were specifically directed to jennie_bearz…cause she comes on here and starts making personal attacks on me, thinking that I’ll just sit back and take it dry…surprise, surprise! If you support your children and are there for them, then that is all that matters right? Who gives two flying BEEPS what ANYONE else thinks….that’s my motto!! And I get by just fine as a single parent!!

  52. Honest Phil • June 24, 2008 @ 9:37 PM

    Angela makes a lot of good points and I for one respect her for speaking out.

  53. tammy • June 25, 2008 @ 3:16 PM

    I completely agree with Angela…. and Nancy,…Jennie doesn’t attack you… she didn’t even mention your name in her comment…so get over yourself….

  54. tributegirl • June 25, 2008 @ 6:53 PM

    Yeah, Nancy, so BACK OFF!!! ROFLMAO!!! MAGNET!!!
    Angela, perhaps you should look over my comments, I never once called ANYONE a skank or a slut. While you are at it, maybe you should look extra hard at my comment posted on June 23, at 8:35 pm, directed to YOU. It was very respectful, and in fact, it was VERY SUPPORTIVE. So if you are the mature, grown up woman you say you are, re-read my post, and respond.

  55. Nancy • June 25, 2008 @ 11:15 PM

    Oh, and don’t forget, she also said that she thinks I need an attitude adjustment….hmmm…wonder if she will give me one? ROFFLMFAO!! Maybe next lifetime!!

  56. tammy • June 26, 2008 @ 9:22 AM

    The only reason why she went off on you is because you called women who have children when their young and are not married sluts and whores and she got upset about that..and when she put her comment in defending women who have kids when their young you said oh well then I guess you agree that your a slut or whore or something along those lines….

  57. Nancy • June 26, 2008 @ 3:47 PM

    Try the other way around, Tammy. She said what she said to me and then after that is when I said, “at least SHE admits that she is those things”…I NEVER said that women who have children when they are young and are not married are sluts and whores. It all began when I wrote that Paris Hilton’s dress was too low, then Jennie_bearz started telling me to “stay on the topic”, I told her not to read my comments if she didn’t like them…she then told me to “get laid and get an attitude adjustment”. I may be alot of things…but a LIAR is definately NOT one of those things!!

  58. Angela • June 26, 2008 @ 9:04 PM

    lol get laid haha, that’s a terrible thing to tell someone. Tributegirl, I apologize for the comment towards you, I did read your comment, but I didn’t read the name, I kinda assumed it was by Tiredofitall, and when I re-read I noticed it was by you, so thank you for supporting and sticking up for me.

    I may be young but I just don’t understand the way you guys treat eachother, we were taught adults were the mature ones, respectable, etc and you guys constantly belittle one another and treat eachother terribly. It’s truly puzzling. I think maybe it’s bc were woman and so naturally we are somewhat catty by nature…yes that must be it lol, were all terrible 🙂 And yes I do stand up for what I believe, I feel I need to stand up for us bc if I don’t no one else in here is going too.

  59. tributegirl • June 26, 2008 @ 10:02 PM

    It probably is partly because we are catty women, but I just hate people who come on here & act like they are “all that” and put other people down because they disagree with their opinions. I feel everyone has a right to voice their opinion, say what they want, and if others disagree, that’s fine, but certain people on here disagree in a most nasty way. And I just can’t let that go by without getting nasty back!

  60. Nancy • June 28, 2008 @ 1:10 AM

    This CRAP all started because on the Paris Hilton has 17 dogs article, I said that Paris’ dress was too low in the photo…..that’s when Jennie’s big mouth opened, but Tribute erased it. Then, Tammy’s big mouth opened, but Tribute erased it. Then my big mouth opened….and I don’t take CRAP from anyone, and Tribute erased it. Now, they just keep it going because they are BIMBOS!!!

  61. Nancy • July 6, 2008 @ 10:00 PM

    When you’re blue…we know it’s YOU!

  62. tributegirl • July 7, 2008 @ 10:17 PM

    huh?
