Ellen Page (L) in the hit film "Juno," Bristol Palin with her baby brother Trig and Jamie Lynn Spears a few months back when she was pregnant at 16.Jamie Lynn Spears sends gift to Bristol Palin:
If there’s one person who gets a pregnant teen, it’s Jamie Lynn Spears.
Britney Spears’ little sis is reaching out to Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, John McCain’s vice presidential pick.
A source close to the Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor tells CelebTV.com exclusively that a gift from Plain Mary was sent to Bristol Palin on behalf of Jamie Lynn Spears.
An insider says it was actually Lynne Spears, Jamie Lynn’s mom, who called about the gift, and requested the gift come from her daughter.
“It was ordered by phone, and they asked what could be done for under $100. They spent $60 on pink burpcloths,” said the source.
Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to her first daugther, Maddie Briann, in June, at the age of 17.
Now she just needs to go clubbing with Miley Cyrus and the circle will be complete. Perhaps Spears and Solange Knowles have a club Palin can join. Gah! Teen pregnancy is a SERIOUS issue. For every success story of a teen parent who makes it work and produces an exemplary citizen and scholar, there are the multitude of unwanted teen pregnancies that lead to children with poorer education, poorer living standards, poorer health care and poor parenting.
Not everyone is getting Barack Obama's 18-year-old for a mother. A lot get an immature, confused person who makes a plethora of mistakes because they can't/won't give up the childhood they lost.
It's a real problem! I'm not saying poor Bristol Palin and her boyfriend should be treated as a pariahs. In my mother's day they put you out of school if you got knocked up. Both in high school and at the Christian college she attended in Little Rock, Ark. I don't want to return to punishing girls for making a mistake, but I don't want this to turn into one big celebration that leaves the impression that getting pregnant at 17 is a good thing if your parents push you to marry the father of the child.
And it's doubly gross with John McCain using the meet-n-greet with the boyfriend on the tarmac as public relations. Even forcing the kid to shake his hand then oddly resting his hands on the both of them, squeezing them together as if he actually gives a damn about protecting either them from the drama unfolding.
I swore I never would resurrect this now hackneyed phrase, but by accepting McCain's vice presidential invitation, Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin threw her daughter under the bus.
I can't look at this whole "Desperate Housewives" saga without hearing Billy Idol in my head murmuring:
Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.
