Jamie Lynn Spears Is NOT Trying To Befriend Bristol Palin
A story starting making the rounds yesterday that Jamie Lynn Spears sent a gift of support to Bristol Palin, the 5-months pregs daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin (who is currently running for Vice President of the US) in order show some semblance of solidarity between the unwed, pregs teens:
Jamie Lynn Spears wants Bristol Palin to know she’s not alone in the unwed teen mom spotlight - so she’s sent a care package of fancy embroidered burp cloths to the 17-year-old pregnant daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Dear Bristol: Hang in there!!!!! XXOO,” the supportive card from the “Zoey 101″ star read, underscoring the challenges she too has faced. The younger sister to Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, 17, gave birth to Maddie Briann Aldridge in June and is engaged to hometown hunk Casey Aldridge, just as Bristol Palin is set to wed her babydaddy Levi Johnston. “She wanted it in pink. I’m assuming the two have spoken, and she knows it’s a girl,” a spokesman for Petit Tresor, the West Hollywood shop that took the order told the Daily News. “We’re sending it to the (Alaska) state capital,” the Tresor rep said. The spokesman said Jamie Lynn’s mom Lynne Spears actually made the call for Jamie Lynn and used a Spears credit card. Packaged in a mini pink suitcase, the $60 set of five coordinating burp cloths from Plain Mary are embroidered with “Babe,” “Loved,” “Yummy,” “Fresh,” and a skull & bones image.
It turns out that the story is absolutely untrue and totally fabricated, Mama Lynne Spears denies that JL never sent any sort of gift to Bristol Palin:
Lynne Spears is denying a widespread Internet report that her 17-year-old daughter Jamie Lynn — who gave birth in June — has sent gifts to pregnant 17-year-old Bristol Palin. Reports surfaced this week that Jamie-Lynn mailed the daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin $60 pink burp cloths from L.A. baby boutique Petit Tresor. A store rep even told ABC News that Spears included a card with the package: “Dear Bristol, Hang in there! XXOO, Jamie Lynn Spears.” But a Spears rep tells E! News: “I just got off the phone with Lynne. I can tell you that she hasn’t sent her any gifts, but that she does support Sarah and, of course, can empathize with their situation.”
I don’t know what is sadder, the fact that a story like this was completely made up to presumably win publicity for Petit Tresor or that the story could’ve actually had been true. LOL.

Petit Tresor does this ALL THE TIME. Remember when they said Jamie Lynn came to their store and bought BLUE clothes? When they said the same about Jessica Alba? They’ve already tried to claim Pete and Ashlee came to their store and bought blue.
And they started this YEARS ago. They also claimed Britney bought PINK clothes when she was pregnant with her first child. I don’t know why ANYONE posts their stories after they see Petit Tresor mentioned.

Lol!!! It’s like a bad soap opera… but very entertaining none the less.

Geez, how can they just flat out make stuff up like that? Isn’t there a law or something? Sheesh!
Although I think it would have been nice if Jamie Lynn HAD done that…

I think it is rather pathetic that you, Trent, think it would be sad if Jamie Lynn had done that. Why do you always criticize JL for doing the right thing? Yea she could have gotten an abortion and Bristol could have too but even when in the public eye, these girls stuck to their morals and kept their babies. Give both of them a break. I’m so tired of hearing you bash JL and other teen mothers. You don’t have a problem when Jessica Alba or Ashlee Simpson or Halle Berry get pregnant yet they are not married, but God forbid JL be unmarried and pregnant. *rolls eyes* It’s really getting annoying.

Chill, Amanda. The ladies you describe are over the age of 21, with fully developed reasoning centers in their brains, and quite capable of making sound adult judgments and providing for a child. While Alba and Berry aren’t married they are still very much involved with the fathers and not everyone feels that a piece of paper is necessary to have a happy “marriage” (Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn ring a bell?). And Ashlee Simpson IS married. You also imply that anyone who does not keep their baby lacks morals. I very much disagree. What I think is pathetic is that all of a sudden these children (and yes, I said CHILDREN) are now being lauded for screwing up their lives. Rock on, Trent!

Ah, I see what you mean. But Ashlee Simpson was NOT married before she was pregnant. And, motherhood is not something you aquire better along with your age. There are 30 yr old mom’s out there who aren’t as prepared mentally as teenage moms. And yes, they DID take responsibility for their actions, they did STICK to their morals… Does this mean that girls who do not keep their babies lack them? No, but I believe it does show which girls are the strong ones. It shows that they are in fact mentally prepared to have a baby, even when they have plenty of money to abort their babies. And no matter WHO gives birth to a baby, IT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE, it is ALWAYS something to be excited about. Bringing life into this world is difficult and it, believe it or not, takes a woman to give birth to and raise a child. So, seriously, give them a break!

And somewhere deep down in Alaska, Bristol Palin is shedding tears that JLS doesn’t want to be her BFF…
