Bonus Blind Item
This former almost A list Tweener has been desperate to get back on television since her abrupt departure a few years ago. Her parents won't let her though because they don't want to have to answer questions about what happened which would break wide open the hastily concocted cover story that has barely stood up to any kind of examination.
I love when they are so easy that I get them. Jamie Lynn.
ReplyDeleteJamie Lynn Spears FTW.
ReplyDeletemiley...and whatever dirt it is she has on billy ray? or miley...and producer abuse รก la rape/pregnancy?
ReplyDeleteok, maybe not. so i'll do w/ demi l., who's seriously messed up (more than miley, anyway)...and who's parents appear to like the gravy train to the point that they'll cover up whatever they have to.
Okay, jamie Lynn makes sense... but what is the "hastily concocted cover story?"
ReplyDeleteWhat was the Jamie Lynn "cover story" I must have missed that? She was pregnant, not much to concoct.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board w Jaime Lynn for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow about Demi Lavato (Sp?)
ReplyDeleteYes, Jamie Lynn. @Jamie From what I remember gossip-wise, the producer supposedly got her pregnant, not her boyfriend, and it was a big cover up.
ReplyDeleteBut how could her parents stop her? She's an adult now.
Princess - she was knocked up by an old man (producer?) on her show and they paid that kid to take public responsibility.
ReplyDeleteWell, the parents (Dad anyway) seem to do a pretty good job of controlling her big sis... granted, Britney is cray-cray.
ReplyDeleteWasn’t there a blind a while ago about a tween who got impregnated by a producer and people thought it was Jamie Lynn? This could be here with the cover up story being her boyfriend being the baby’s father.
ReplyDeletewas JLS a-list, tho? her credits are few...the only biggie being zooey 101, which, while big for nickelodeon, didn't put a dent up against the disney offerings.
ReplyDeleteShe had pretty high name recognition just by being Britney's sister.

ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm mistaking, but I don't recall any kind of coverup put out in the media by her family in regards to a blind item here, and when was her kids' paternity "examined". I think people are jumping too fast on this one.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Demi and her cover-up with rehab for eating disorders/self harm when it was really for coke. It was pretty hastily concocted that she suddenly had an eating disorder and was a cutter. I think she would have to do new press for any new project and the questions would always focus on that and she would have to either lie more, or come clean, which would blow the hastily concocted story.
With the amount of teen stars getting scraped every year why didn't this idiot just get an abortion? Seriously, the more these idiots talk about being a virgin and staying 'pure' until marriage the more they're fucking around behind the scenes. The game should be obvious by now but parents are willfully ignorant so whatever.
ReplyDeleteLovato has been out performing, releasing a new album and jumping in and out of rehab in between for the last few years, so I don't see that this blind fits her. She also just did an interview where she admits to some substance abuse and drinking. Not her.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is Jamie Lynn Spears. She got pregnant, they took her out of the public eye almost completely. Did she work on a Dan Schneider show? Would be nice for the Jerry Sandusky of Hollywood to be exposed, finally.
@Noetje - that blind was my first thought when I read this. It was several years ago, I believe right around the time or even just before JLS's pregnancy was made public. So it was widely believed to be her. What I don't understand is why people would be asking questions about it now - as far as her interviews went, her boyfriend is the father, and she hasn't really been in a public eye since she gave birth. It's not like it's been some kind of ongoing conspiracy theory on the gossip sites in the meantime. Or has it been, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE???
ReplyDeleteUm...been in THE public eye...*L*
ReplyDeleteI think JLS was "almost A-list" as a teen star. She had a pretty decent career going with projects in the works right up until she got pregnant. The cover-up being who got her pregnant. I say she should go back to acting and tell her parents to eff off.
ReplyDeleteWow, if you Google Dan Schneider, the second entry is "dan schneider pervert". What's the deal with this guy?
ReplyDeleteFWIW, Demi Lovato DID make an abrupt departure from TV a few years ago. She had a successful show (Sunny with a Chance) and she quit. I don't know if the spinoff, That's So Random (?), is still on the air or not.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Britney's sister was even on TV. I don't care enough to look it up.
Some parents (in the business or not) have issues with their children, especially daughters, gaining independence and financial self control of any sort. I suspect Kris Kardashian is one of these as well. It helps to keep the daughters poorly educated. The more contact the girl has with business people on her own, the more she'll realize her parents are living off of her money and not acting in her self-interest.
ReplyDeleteTotally Jaimie Lynn Spears. I'm wondering how much her baby resembles Dan Schneider...if she gets back "in the spotlight" and the press start following her around, the paternity questions will come back up and people might see the resemblance. Or, I believe there could have been a deal where the money would keep coming as long as she stayed in exile with the kid.
ReplyDeleteNot Demi Lovato, IMO...she has already 'fessed up about the coke abuse, etc.
It's been pretty widely talked about on gossip sites that her boyfriend was not the father of that baby, and it's come up a few times recently that he is not in their lives or involved with the child. If JLS were to get into the spotlight again, a lot of people would start asking why the guy is not in his kid's life, and he might not be so willing anymore to sit back and be publicly trashed as a dead beat father.
ReplyDeleteThis blind is obvious, if you're trying to find a reason why this is not JLS, you're over-thinking it.
I'm on the Demi train, she's closer to "almost A" than JLS.
ReplyDeleteI believe that this could apply to SEVERAL of the tweeners. I don't think it's that obvious or easy. JLS. Demi. Miley, even? Could be any of 'em.
ReplyDelete(And "tweener" doesn't meant that she IS a tweener, but that her target AUDIENCE is the tweeners, right?)
First time poster, long time lurker. I have never been spot on identifying resemblances between parent and child, on Maury all those babies look like the dads, but after Googling Dan Schnieder and looking at recent pics of Maddie on JLS Twitter I can definitely see some resemblance.

JLS went off of TV because she was pregnant. There's not really much of a story to concoct because it was a legit reason for leaving the show, regardless of the baby daddy's identity.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when Zoey 101 was big I thought JLS was the smelliest shit that walked the earth, I loved her show and definitely wanted to be her. Until she get sperminated. I can absolutely see her being A list tweener, esp with Britney's name rec.
ReplyDeleteDemi is really open about her problems and is speaking more about substance abuse, while Miley has at least 2 movies set to come out this year and is constantly keeping herself in the spotlight. This is the opposite of Miley, she would do anything to stay relevant, as recent boobie pictures can attest.
woah, it's supposed to be Dan Schneider's?
ReplyDeleteRicky from Better Off Dead?
Mind blown.
I think it's JLS. Having a baby out of wedlock (even if it's because you were raped by your boss)is more of a stigma with US audiences than anything else. For some reason.
ReplyDeleteCheck this shit out:

Nutso.
It's Jamie Lynn spears, and the secret is who the baby's daddy is. The family and studio made a huge deal out of it being her young boyfriend, but all the gossip sites were clear that it was an older producer. JLS was huge in the tweener set when she got pregnant. Then suddenly JLS disappeared from view, to focus on being a teenage mom -- the right thing for an unwed mom to do if you are selling yourself to the Sarah Palin crowd. At the time, JLS was as big as Miley; Miley's star seemed to rise alot as JLS' fan base moved over to the other big tweener star at the time. It's hard to imagine, but JLS' pregnancy was a defining moment for a generation of tweeners who were fed a whitewashed diet (the same diet that determines that Demi suffered from exhaustion). If JLS got back into tv, there would be a ton of questions about how her baby was doing.
ReplyDeleteI think this is JLS. Demi has said in interviews before that she isn't confident enough (as of now) to get back into acting/television. never heard the rumor about JLS's baby being the product of a perv producer but i can't say i am suprised...
ReplyDeleteDon't really care that much, but if it were JLS and it's about who the babydaddy was, having it exposed that it was the producer looks bad on HIM, not her!
ReplyDeleteDemi Lovato. She wants back on tv as a judge for X-Factor.
ReplyDeleteI can see some potential resemblance with JLS' daughter and Dan Schneider. Ewww I don't how know anyone can sleep with this morbidly obese pig. Hope this story gets exposed!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Jamie Lynn. She doesn't seem the type to let her parents dictate her life at this point.
ReplyDeleteHow could JLS parents keep her off of television when she's a grown adult raising a kid. If shes allowed to make decisions for her kid, I think it's safe to say she can make them for herself.
ReplyDeleteAnd whoever fathered her kid, it wouldn't be detrimental to her career. A teen girl getting knocked up by a middle age guy would pretty much put a nail in his coffin, so the only way she could be kept off of television is if a huge deal was struck and lots of money payed, however, being a minor and needing her parents consent for any deals made, I don't know if they would hold water now.
The parents could prevent her from doing tv in any number of ways beyond a payout. Threaten to get custody of her child or have her declared incompetent (seems not likely until you consider that they did the latter to JLS' adult sister). Tell JLS that they won't talk to her and not help with the baby. The real baby daddy could have JLS blacklisted -- he is probably powerful enough.
ReplyDeleteIs moving home the same as disappearing? Besides, it makes perfect sense to leave a tween show if the tween is knocked up, no matter who the father is. That's bad for ratings and sends a bad message to the kids watching.
ReplyDeleteDon't sleazy producers usually push for the abortion?? The fact that she decided to keep it may mean she could have trouble landing a role again???
ReplyDeleteJSierra..Interesting...That link doesn't work now. Wow, that was fast!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she didn't willingly give in to Dan but something more tragic occured. HATE to accuse him of something he may not be guilty of but he sure has worked on a lot of kids shows.
And Diana: As the Spears good Christians, I am sure they would consider abortion a sin. Good for her for keeping the baby as at least she can take care of it.
I've always thought her baby (JLS) looked just like that Casey kid...

ReplyDeleteIf it's Jamie, maybe the guy who is supposed to be the baby daddy is having second thoughts. Either that or people realized that there is evidence that could make the parentage very questionable that was missed. What I mean is, as an example,if the kid was either paid or tricked into believing the kid is his then maybe the timing of the pregnancy matches up with when he was away and therefore couldn't be the father.
ReplyDeleteAlso maybe the parents don't want her to go back because there is a falling out between the "father" and Jamie. So her return to the spotlight would bring that into question. I tihnk that would be the #1 thing people would want to know from the father, if it is a falling out, how he could leave the kid and since it isn't his simple answer always wins out, "It isn't mine". Hell, I know if I was in the situation of raising a kid that wasn't mine and I was either being paid(only in it for the money) or tricked. Then when I learned the truth or grew tired of the facade I'd be gone and I'd answer the questions honestly to get people to leave me alone.
Just some thoughts I had. I have no knowledge of JLS popularity so I have no clue about this one.
THANK YOU Cheap and Pretty! I was wracking my braing trying to remember the supposed baby daddies name... Now HE'S done a good job of disappearing.
ReplyDeleteI think its her, being Brits sister alone gave her huge clout...
There's a lot of sick shit going on in Hollywood but i think the sickest part of it all is how many people go aong with the cover ups for the almighty dollar...
This one and yesterdays blind about the actress being basically tortured off a show leave me baffled that no one has been able to bust all this stuff wide open!
No matter who it is, the girl WOULD look bad for pointing the finger at another guy knowing who the real father was. She would look like a whore and a b!tch for ruining that boys reputation. Seriously
ReplyDeleteIt is JLS - if you remember when she got preggers her mom had just come out with a parenting book...I love how a good christian home cannot do an abortion but rather have the child of an 30 something producer and pay a kid to pretend it is his...what a moral family.
ReplyDeleteTo anyone saying it's not JLS because she could return to the industry at any time, please point out to me some of the successful comeback stories you know of, where a 16yo Christian tween star has left the business to have baby out of wedlock and then somehow resumed a semi-decent career later.
ReplyDeleteAnyone?
Doesn't anyone realize that JLS becoming pregnant by that old pervert producer is prima facia evidence of statutory rape!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about that Christian book, unknown! The whole Spears family sold themselves as good, religious, moral folks. Remember when Britney said she would be a virgin until marriage (even though she lived with JT). Theres a hypocritical family -- one daughter living in sin, another pregnant by her older producer Which is why there would be so many questions if Jamie Lynn were to go on the publicity circuit.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely Jamie Lynn. If you remember, back at that time Enty ran several BIs about the tweener star who was being sexually abused by a powerful adult male connected with the show. No one would protect her from him, so she deliberately got pregnant by him in order to force her parents and the network to take notice and get her away from her abuser.
ReplyDeleteTHAT was the scandal. Not the pregnancy itself, but the fact that everyone knew this pedo was doing her - including her parents - and no one stepped in and stopped him from hurting her.
Maja I have to agree. Who cares about that now? If JLS goes back to work, how would anything come to light now???
ReplyDelete@Squeezebox - OMG, I hope you are wrong! I guess the status quo is that parents of child stars are essentially pimps. Just as Gary Coleman and Jackie Cooper. :(
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant Jackie Coogan. Both were exploited, but Jackie Coogan helped enact a law that was supposed to prevent parents from stealing all the earnings from their child actor children. My god, there needs to be a law???
ReplyDeleteGypsy- interesting link you gave !
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWFSslJ2NO4
Let's see: JLS announces pregnancy in Dec. 2007 and Britney has her full blown melt down in Jan. 2008. Any possible correlation? Possibly B couldn't handle the fact that her baby sister had been involuntarily impregnated by a disgusting pedo-producer but instead of going to the authorities the parents decide to settle for $ and tuck this little secret away under the guise of teen pregnancy by the boyfriend? Possible that an already vulnerable Brit lost it and the thought that the industry had also swallowed her sis and the parents also sold her out?
ReplyDeleteThrowing something else out- Amanda Bynes. Didn't she "retire" a few years back?
ReplyDeleteJLS is over 18. I am not sure how her parents could stop her. She could also have a DNA test done if it is true that someone else is the father. Why would she want to protect a child raper at this point?
ReplyDeleteInteresting timing on this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2141075/Jamie-Lynn-Spearss-daughter-Maddie-joins-mom-Grandma-Spears-shopping-trip.html
ReplyDeleteI cannot comprehend a parent who allows this to happen to their child. The only thing on my mind would be vengeance, not how much can I milk this for. And who would fear that fat fuck of a producer?? He looks like he'd urinate on himself if scared properly.
ReplyDelete(Wow, PMS and stories on molesting kids really got me this morning. )
jamie Lynn
ReplyDelete@ Princess: Lovato has scars on her arms from the cutting, and usually coke goes along w/ eating disorders, becasue it suppresses your appetite.
ReplyDeleteI'm full on w/ the Jamie Lynn Spears idea. The fact that Disney keeps churning out messes, leads me to believe there is a system of abuse going on there.
i don't think this is miley because it seemed like she wanted to depart from hannah montana completely when she left the show. since then it appears that she's been trying to establish a film career and work on her music (not so successfully).
ReplyDeletei also don't think this is demi. regardless of what she's still caught up in she feels that all of her problems began at disney and i doubt she desperately wants to go back to that atmosphere. at this point i think her music is much more important to her.
this does fit jamie lynn. but was she ever A-list? her only work that i know of was on zoey 101. still, the whole cover up thing applies best with her.
Long time lurker first time venturing into the comments but what about Taylor momsen. she is 18 now but the post says she was an almost alist tweener a few years ago. not really sure if she was considered almost a list even in the peak of gossip girl but just throwing a different name out there
ReplyDeleteThis really, really disturbs me. I REALLY hope JLS was impregnated by her then bf, not that producer. I can't even comprehend parents who allow that. If it did happen... someone needs to blow the roof off that producer BIG TIME. Knowing someone is SEXUALLY ASSAULTING TWEENS and not doing anything about it is JUST AS BAD!!!
ReplyDeleteENTY! REVEAL!
Seachica, you, me and Ray Charles could see that Brittney was batshit. You can't just get anyone declared mentally incapacitated or whatever if they're not acting out and what grounds would her parents have to come in and take her child just like that?
ReplyDeleteAnd the producer has a lot of clout and he also has a lot of potential to serve major time in prison and could be blackmailed, If she talked and ruined his career, and exposed others in Hollywood who did the same, I don't think his power will do much to protect him or anyone else at that point.
