Jamie Lynn Spears has reportedly signed a $1 million magazine deal for exclusive pictures of her newborn baby.
The 16-year-old younger sister of singer Britney, who is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge, has agreed to pose with the baby in a photo shoot for America's OK! magazine.
A family insider told gossip website TMZ.com: "Jamie's mom Lynne contacted OK! personally after they ran the story on Britney's meltdown while posing for a photo shoot with them. She thanked them for handling it so well and stayed in touch with the magazine.
"She called them this week when she learned the news of Jamie's pregnancy was about to break. She asked them to keep Britney out of it, because this is about Jamie Lynn. She trusted them to do it in a way that would be sympathetic to her daughter.
"Lynne and Jamie didn't want money, but they have signed up for a $1 million photo shoot when the child is born. "
The source also alleges Jamie Lynn's pregnancy is further along than the 12 weeks the actress is claiming. The insider said: "Expect a spring baby."
Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn is reportedly "desperate" to marry her 17-year-old boyfriend, despite her parents' hesitations.
A source close to the Spears family said: "Jamie Lynn and Casey want to get married really bad. But both sets of parents don't think they should. They think they are too young and should wait.
"The problem with Jamie Lynn is that she is a teenager. She doesn't understand the ramifications. She's just a child with not a lick of sense.
There's no reasoning with her. Jamie Lynn is not thinking 10 years down the road - not even two years down the road."
Despite Jamie Lynn's parents, Jamie and Lynne, refusing to give permission for their youngest daughter to tie the knot, they do approve of her relationship with Casey.
The source told People magazine: "He has always taken amazing care of Jamie Lynn. If anything ever went wrong, he always comforted her. He took care of her.
"Jamie talks about how he really likes Casey because he's a great guy. Lynne really likes him, too. He's a good kid, cares a lot about Jamie Lynn. They both adore Casey.
"Casey is a stand-up guy, and he will take care of the baby. He is not the type to let her deal with it on her own. He will be there in any way he can.
He will be a good father."
Reports had surfaced that the pair had split up, after Casey allegedly wrote on his MySpace page that he and Jamie Lynn were no longer together. However, the entry is now believed to have been a hoax. |
