Tsk Tsk … do y’all remember when Jamie Lynn Spears was a cute little thing following around her big sister Britney Spears, oftentimes too shy to pose for photos? Do you recall when she managed to get her own Nickelodeon TV series called Zoey 101 and she seemed to be the Spears family’s only hope for professional survival (around the time that Britney was imploding and flushing her career down the toilet)? Then … the unthinkable happened … little 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears went and got herself pregs by babydaddy Casey Aldridge, her TV show went away and she was forced to retreat to her hometown of Kentwood, LA to raise her baby. For the most part, JL has maintained a relatively quiet existence back home but … every once-in-a while a girl’s gotta leave the kid at home and go out and party. TMZ obtained photos of JL and Casey (both under the legal drinking age, I might add) whooping it up at a bar called The Buzz (which is an 18 & Over establishment) in Hammond, Louisiana … check ‘em out:
She’s been working since she was 11 — and a mother since she was 17 — so it’s actually refreshing to see Jamie Lynn Spears enjoying herself just like any other 18-year-old unwed mother. The younger Spears girl partied the weekend before last — with baby daddy Casey Aldridge — at a club called The Buzz in Hammond, La. It’s an 18 & over club and, amazingly, the VIP manager there told us he didn’t even know Jamie Lynn was ever there.
Now, I don’t know for sure … but I would bet good money that there ain’t milk in that plastic cup that Jamie Lynn is holding. To be honest, I wouldn’t blame the girl one bit if she were hittin’ the sauce … I imagine her life didn’t turn out quite the way she had planned. In the second pic you can see that Casey got a tattoo in his inner forearm … it’s not very clear but I think it reads Maddie Briann (the name of his daughter with Jamie Lynn). In the last pic you can clearly see the heinous mouth sores the poor guy is sportin’ …. again, the stress of teenage parenthood is most likely the cause. While it’s nice to see that JL can get out of the house, away from the baby and enjoy a night on the town … I can’t help but feel an ounce of sadness to see that this is what her life has become.

Good for her. Every girl deserves a good time!
I didn’t know you could drink in Louisiana at the rip old age of 17. Also, Casey has some funky shiz on his lips..I hope that is left overs from his affair:)!!
WOW she is looking thin. :-(
Sadness at what her life has become? Why? I was a mother at age 17 and, granted, it’s made life a bit harder, but my son was seriously the best thing that’s ever happened to me..No sadness about it! I remember the nights off I would get..It was so much fun, but it was much more fun to watch my son learn to walk or talk.. :) I guess what I’m trying to say is that just because you have a baby at a young age it doesn’t mean your life is over..It opens up a whole other world for you.. :)
@Kendra — Sadness that she was a young actress that was on the brink of expanding her career and now, due to poor planning, has frittered away her opportunities. I don’t think her life is over, I’m sad that just a few years ago she had much opportunity for her professional life to thrive.
Yeah I agree with Kendra – just because you have a child from a young age doesn’t mean that your life is over (destroyed as some might say) I’m sure Jamie Lynn was having a drink, and I’m sure she was just letting loose. It must be tough after months of staying holed up in your home with your young baby, meanwhile the baby daddy is a big piece of $#!T …. good for her for getting out. lol I know I wouldn’t be stupid enough to get someone pregnant, but hey accidents happen? hahahahaha.
i cant even hate on the girl. i mean this is the first time we’ve seen her out since she had the baby. she’s gotta be doing something right.
Love that it’s not even JL that he’s dancing with in the second picture…what a dbag.
That reminds me. Didn’t she get pregnant again shortly after the 1st child was born? I remember reading about it for a few weeks, then.. nothing. Was the story false or did they resolve that issue another way?
She could have another opportunity for a professional career later on down the line if she chooses. Stranger things have happened. I think with the Spears name she’s definitely got the clout.
@Trent – I can totally see your point, but I agree with Kristi..She can still have a great career..There are tons of working mothers in the industry! This might even be a good thing..Get away from the lame Zoey character and be recognized as a “serious” actress in a few years..If she has the chops, of course..I totally agree that she had many opportunities before she got pregnant, but maybe she’ll get them again..Or maybe she’ll be happy just being a mom instead of all the Hollywood bullshizz..Only time will tell I guess..
I think she is really pretty. But I never saw very much talent in her. As for Casey-nice side of herp buddy.
why is casey dancing with another girl? did anyone else notice this? hopefully it’s just one of JL’s friends or something, but it DOES look like he was getting awfully close….
Its good to see pics of her out having fun but I think since she has stepped away from the business and is staying at home with her baby, the paps should just leave her alone. I HATE how the reports always throw in “un wed 18 yr. mother” like…the stories have been published, it isn’t news anymore. Anyways she seems like a great girl and I wish her the best!
She just seems like a normal girl now, and not some Hollywood Celebrity. It seems like something that any normal girl would do, mother or not. I know some teenage mothers who party alot, so I would say Jamie Lynn has her head screwed on right. I hope she had fun, she deserves it.

I have nothing against JL, but seriously underage drinking and partying as a teen/teen mother is just a no-no. There are ways to go out and have fun without adding unnecessary drama to your life. She’s a mini-celebrity and all it takes is one gung-ho cop, trying to make an example of her, to cause her serious grief. Watching Britney’s mistakes over the years, (most of them caused by not being careful enough) JL should know better.
@ the critics: This is the most normal thing JL has ever done! Most kids drink at 18, and are college freshmen drinking lots more than JL.
She looks beautiful and happy and like she’s having a great time!
The drinking age in Louisiana is 21. Although, some bars admit you at 18, but won’t serve you alcohol. Of course, there are ways of getting around that.
I haven’t seen her partying since the baby so good on her for going out and having a good time but you know you’re washed up when you’re partying at “The Buzz” in Hammond Louisiana. That place looks like a total dive. Also she should dump that guy with the herp lips (or crack pipe burns, whichever). She’s pretty and can do a hell of a lot better than that!
I agree with the others that I don’t think it’s sad that this is her life now. Granted most people don’t really plan on getting pregnant in their teens but it happens. She and Casey both have seemed to rally behind that and it looks like they have tried to do the adult thing and become good parents for their daughter. She’s only 18, she’s got her whole life ahead of her for a career in acting if she wants it. And as for them partying… hey if the bar they’re at allows it… have a good time! It’s not like we see her out and about like this very often. I think things look just fine for lil miss Jaime-Lynn!
