Will Jamie Lynn and Boyfriend Marry?
Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend's uncle, a pastor in Mississippi, says he hopes the expecting parents, “stick it out and get married for the child’s sake and their sake. But if they're not in love and it was just a fantasy, they don't need to make the same mistake twice." If Jamie learns anything from her sister, it should be not to enter into marriage lightly. In related news, Nickelodeon says they are considering a network special on love and sex.

Fertility Rates at All Time High in the U.S.
For the first time since 1971, birth rates are up in the U.S. while other industrialized nations continue to struggle with low fertility. The National Center for Health Statistics says this important milestone is “the first time since shortly after the baby boom ended that the nation has reached the rate of births needed for a generation to replace itself.”

Working Mother Flexibility Forecasted for 2008
More stay-at-home Moms are turning to volunteer work as a stepping stone toward a career path after child birth. “Strategic Volunteering” allows Moms to develop new skills that can ultimately lead to a paying job. In other trends, career women are increasingly comfortable sharing intimate details about their personal lives, such as announcing their pregnancies, which was typically a safe-guarded secret for women to avoid discrimination by their employer and co-workers.

People’s Choice Gets a Lift
As the writers strike continues, the 34th Annual People’s Choice Awards will go on, but it will look quite different from previous years. Queen Latifah is still on board to tape the pre-taped show, which will resemble a “magazine-style” special. Producers of the award show requested a waiver with the union to allow writers to work on the broadcast, but their request was denied. The writers union also denied a similar request to the Golden Globes.

Update: Suspect Arrested in Student Porn Star Death
Police arrested the man suspected of killing 18-year-old college student Emily Sander, who told her parents on Thanksgiving that she had started a career in the internet porn industry. Emily went missing on Nov. 23 and her body was found six days later.


next: Ju-"no" or yes?

Regarding the Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnancy:

For Mom’s Who Are Facing “The Talk” With Their Teens A Good Topic To Begin With Is The Hardships That Teen Parents Face. I Too Was A Teen Parent, I Had My First At 17 and My Second At 19. The Difference Is That I Had Graduated High school, My Pregnancy Was Planned and I Was Married Prior To Giving Birth To My First Child. Five Years Of Being Married and Raising Two Children Has Provided Myself With The Grounds To Share What I Have Learned.
Mom’s Of Teens Need To Convey To Their Children The Struggles That A Teen Parent Can Face, Especially A Single Teen Parent. Offer Statistics, Research or Any Form Of Substantial Information To Support That Pregnancy and Parenthood Is Not Exactly What Tabloids Portray. Yes, Children Are A Blessing and Parenthood Is Amazing But Parenthood Requires A Maturity Level And Responsibility That Most Teens (And Even Some Adults) Cannot Imagine.

I just hope to God that she doesn’t marry this boy - then we’ll lhave to go through the divorce in 2 years.

I wish that we would stop looking a people who are considered “stars” and look to our parent/family memembers who have had great lives and are successful at being themselves instead of letting our children look up to people who are just like us “human”. We need to set great examples for our own children and not the so called stars or their sibiling who make really bad choices. Concerned mother of 2.

Why consider the “stars” as some kind of gods. They are human as everyone but i think this 16 yr old wanted attention because all of it was being forcused on her older sister. We all make mistakes but the more the NEWS covers it the more hipe it will get, leave the girl alone and let us normal people get on with our lives. This young girl has to live with this mistake the rest of her life and it won’t be an easy life.
