It’s all over the that Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant, so I’m sure that’s not new news to you.  But what may be news to you is that her mother, Lynne Spears, had a book deal to write a parenting book called “Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World”, but that book has now been delayed indefinitely.  I for one think that this woman had no business writing a book about parenting, even if it was simply a book about how bad of a parent she is.  But that’s the benefit of being famous, you can write ridiculous things and people will buy them up because you wrote them.

It’s sad about Jamie!  I’m sure millions of pre-teen girls looked up to hear as a role model.  My own daughter is 12 and regularly watched Zoey 101.  Fortunately she now plans on not watching the show again!  At 12, she realizes how badly this young girls choices will affect her life.  But what is amazing is how openly accepting the general public will be of her pregnancy, simply because it is a more accepted thing in today’s society.  People make bad choices in their lives, and young people are even more prone to doing so than most adults are.  But lets hope that the young girls that looked up to Jamie Lynn Spears realize how much her bad choice is going to affect the rest of her life.  Then again, it may not affect it the way it does normal girls because she has money, and many teenage girls that get pregnant don’t have that luxury.  They instead end up leading difficult lives because they can’t finish their education and they find out that as soon as they tell the father that they are expecting, he’s usually history!

The latest news on Lindsay Lohan is that she has left the latest in a string of drug rehabs that she has been in and out of. At least this time she stayed almost 2 months. But the question is, will it work this time? So many of the young people from Hollywood just cannot seem to get their lives together. If only they would take a look at the young people who look up to them and think of them as role models and realize that they aren’t setting the type of example we would hope for!

OK, so things with Lindsay and Paris seem to have quieted down a bit, but I don’t expect that to last forever. I’m not sure if it’s the money or the fame or the combination of the two, but so many stars seem to be unable to control their lives anymore. One day they are in drug rehab, the next thing you know they are out and then the next thing you know they’re back in again. You hope that they eventually realize that something is wrong with how they are living their lives.
