Jamie Lynn Spears birth drama or tabloid snub?


Star Magazine has a cover story this week titled “Jamoe Lynn: Delivery Room Drama!” OMG! Jossip offers invaluable analysis of this probably half bullshit, half embellished story. They say that by having an exclusive deal with OK! Magazine for photos and stories about her baby, Jamie Lynn incurred the tabloid editor’s wrath more so than your average celebrity.

Here are the supposed details of Jamie Lynn’s “Delivery Room Drama!” Star claims Casey passed out, Britney pled with Jamie Lynn to have a cesarean, and mother hen Lynn insisted on being in the room when Jamie Lynn gave birth, cursing her out like a movie cliché of a delivery room scene:

In the new issue of Star, on newsstands now, we have all the details about Jamie Lynn’s delivery room drama — including her life-threatening decision, emergency surgery to save the baby, Britney’s jealous episode, Lynne Spears fighting with everyone and the brouhaha over a paternity test.

“The baby’s heart rate dropped every time she tried to push,” a family insider tells Star. “They did an ultrasound and quickly discovered that the umbilical cord was too short.” But despite the doctors’ dire warnings, the 17-year-old “was adamant about having a natural delivery.”

Everyone in the room at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., pleaded with Jamie Lynn to listen to the doctors — including big sister Britney. Brit had already been with Jamie Lynn for hours, massaging her back as she endured painful contractions. “But she got mad,” says the insider. She told Jamie Lynn to “just have a damn Caesarian,” as she did. “Britney then ran out in tears because she couldn’t bear to see what was happening.”

The girls mother, Lynne, only added to the tension. “Lynne was already angry because her daughter didn’t want her in the delivery room at all,” says the source. “But she had insisted on being there, along with Casey Aldridge, Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend. Jamie Lynn cussed and yelled at her mom, and told her to get out. She cursed Lynne for bringing her into the world to bear such pain.”

How poetic of Star: “She cursed Lynne for bringing her into the world to bear such pain.” I love that line. I’ve never heard of an umbilical cord being too short, but I Googled it and it does happen and can result in increased infant mortality.

Jossip notes that the article also claims that “Lynn Spears, Maddie’s grandma, wants a DNA test right away because she doesn’t believe Aldridge is the father.” Their explanation of how so many things went wrong with the birth is a lesson in a tabloid scorned:

You know what you get when you’re a celebrity and you sign an exclusive deal with a tabloid? Bad karma from the rest of the magazines.

Jamie Lynn Spears, who signed a $1 million exclusive deal with OK! for her pregnancy story and pics, is getting stabbed by Star with a dramatic cover story exclaiming, “Delivery Room Drama!” Since Spears is prohibited from playing ball with the other celeb weeklies, there’s only one thing Star can do: deliver one piece of bad news after another. If only Spears hadn’t signed with OK!, she could’ve scored some protection.

Star spreads a lot of fake news about celebrities but it’s particularly malicious when they’re blocked from a coveted story. On the remote chance that all of this is true, you could also say that Jamie Lynn had an unremarkable natural birth despite some minor complications and pressure from her doctors and family to have a c-section.

    Everything about this hillbilly family is particularly “unremarkable.”

  2. Bravo to Jamie Lynn for standing her ground. It takes a lot of courage for any woman, much less an underage girl, to go through a natural birth, but unless its medically necessary, natural really is the best thing. I’m amazed she had the maturity to go through with it. When you’re a mother you have to know how to stand your ground because everyone, including yoru kid, is ready to challenge you on the way you wish to do things, and you have to learn early to put your foot down. I’m actually kinda liking Jamie Lynn now!

    How much you wanna bet Britney DID storm out “in tears”…of frustration that her sister wouldn’t get a C section and get the whole thing over with so she could rush back to her bat cave in LA to enjoy the flash of pap’s camera shutters in peace.

    star mag is a bunch of assholes.

    As if these rags weren’t sleazy enough, now they’re practically running a mob-style ‘protection’ racket. “Give us the story or we’ll burn your reputation down.”

    Kristen Johnston looks almost hallow she’s so ghastly thin, ugh…that is tragic. I always thought she was hilarious on 3rd rock, not to mention quite a beauty, if you’re into slightly Amozonic leggy blondes.

  6. Anna says:

    Did Jen really get a boob job???

    No matter what is true about those JLS stories, I pity Maddie in any circumstance. Children truly don’t choose their parents.

  7. Danielle says:

    I resent the hillbilly stereotype. I was born and raised in a rural area, my graduating class only had 100 people in it and my favorite passtimes were four-wheeling and riding horses. I don’t think I sound particularly uneducated despite being proud of where I’m from. I do live in Ireland too, but they like Americans here. Unless you try to claim you’re Irish, then the people around here look at you as if you’re crazy.

    As for Jamie Lynn, she’s a damn fool anyway. It’s called a condom. But regardless, I’m still glad she didn’t decide to take the coward’s way out and get an abortion. She made a mistake and her punishment now is to live with it.

    And I’m sure saying goodbye to sleep is a punishment enough.

    Soooo…. Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth in an episode of Falcon Crest by the sounds of it – you know that Angela Channing was there, skulking the halls and polluting Britney’s mind 😉

    *reserves an “are you crazy?” face for Danielle in case she forgets herself :lol:*

    Oh and the JA bit on the cover is also obvious BS. She’s always had comparatively large boobs. 🙄 And even if she did have something done (like a lift) I’d say it was more career-orientated than to do with John bleedin’ Mayer.

  9. someone says:

    I think that pic of Jennifer Aniston is from a year or so ago. And she looks the same as she always has.

    And the description of this birth does sound like some episode of a medical tv show. Weren’t there pics of JL a day or two after the birth walking around? If this were all true she’d still have been in the hospital.

  10. CiCi says:

    I’m glad to see one person in Celebrity-land actually wanted to deliver some way OTHER than a C section. Sigh.

  11. Jaclyn says:

    how scary!

  12. vdantev says:

    Natural child birth, good then the kid will walk through the door instead of being overwhelmed by a compulsion to climb out a side window.

  13. mojoman says:

    I saw from another website somewhere but I cant resist in questioning the “natural delivery” part: Jamie Lynn had her baby on 19th, Britney hopped on the plane on 18th and left on 20th. Hmm..that screams C-section to me!

  14. Prissa says:

    I read she had a C-Section scheduled for the morning of the 19th anyway. I don’t believe it.

  15. Codzilla says:

    Glad the baby is OK. Not so glad that we’re still subjected to stories — bullshit or not — about Jamie Lynn and her kin.

    @Danielle: Some of the smartest people I know are from the south.

  16. ri23 says:

    @Danielle: I didn’t say “the south,” I said, “hillbilly.” I’m from the south and there’s a huge difference. Fools like the Spears family give people from the south a bad name.

    @Codzilla: “Some of the smartest people I know are from the south” sounds a lot like “some of my best friends are black.”

  17. Casey says:

    She wouldn’t necessarily have still been in the hospital… I had a natural childbirth one month ago, hemorrhaged afterwards ad lost over 30% of my blood stores. I was only at the hospital for 30 hours after delivery AND I was up walking around while in the hospital. As log as you’re not dying they want you to walk, you feel better annd less sore alot faster if you do.

  18. Lindsay says:

    Anna: That picture was taken a while back, it was used on another cover to “prove” she had a boob job. Only that time it was to make Brad jealous instead of for John. Same story different motive… 🙄

  19. jinx says:

    I am sure like nearly all teen mothers she was out doing beer bongs with her baby daddy the very next weekend. They bounce back quick. She’s lookin’ to get Lynn to babysit so she can have private sexy time with Casey, or whoever it is this weekend.

  20. boris says:

    what awful example of prostitution what a trash and rabish this girl is
    the tragedy is that the parents are nmarketing and supporting underage prostitution and sex life.
    what a tragedy

  21. liza says:

    mojoman: just b/c brittney got there a day before delivery and left the day after doesnt mean a c-section. i was in labor for 32 hours before i finally gave birth, giving my family enough time to get here. just b/c brittney flew in early doesnt mean there was a scheduled c-section.
