Jamie Lynn's $1 Million Paycheck and Dad's Pissed

According to TMZ, Jamie Lynn Spears is getting paid $1 million for her deal with OK! Magazine . . . but there's a catch. She's not going to see the money until after the baby is born and she grants them the exclusive first photoshoot. While the whole thing is pretty gross, that paycheck is nothing compared to what her big sister could fetch, and that's apparently because 16-year-old Jamie Lynn isn't a big enough star. Plus, the deal was brokered by Lynne Spears, who kept in touch with the magazine after calling to thank them for how they handled Britney's photoshoot breakdown over the summer. Ugh, all of it is so dirty. Oh, and TMZ also says the baby is due sooner than we think.

While Lynne is obviously more than an accomplice in all this, papa Jamie Spears is reportedly "devastated" and "furious" about both the news and the fact that his family sold the story. As for Jamie Lynn herself, I can only imagine how overwhelming and scary this all is right now.

We read some of her interview already, and here is a little more from Jamie Lynn. She says she's "looking forward to being the best mom I can be...I’m the one who has to live with it for the rest of my life...I put myself in this position, an adult position, so I have to act like an adult and take responsibility for what I did." There's so much of this whole situation that is just so so sad.

    Sigh. And the thing is, I'm sure we'll eventually see pictures of Mama Jamie-Lynn shopping and toting the baby around happily. Which is fine, but the average 16-year-old single baby mama can't afford to do that. I just hope she's smart enough not to glamorize this—because having seen how difficult it is for single teenage moms, I'm guessing Jamie-Lynn's experience will be anything but typical.

    This really is just so unfortunate. Children should not be raised in Hollywood. It seems there are no kids in Hollywood who can actually have the experience of being a kid anymore.

    ugh this thing just bothers me so much, she had such a good teeny bopper career ahead of her and now its ruined. her mom sells her story to a freakin tabloid in the hopes of salvaging something from the "good daughter" her alcholic father is "mad" and now he is talking to the tabloids and somewhere in the middle there is going to be a baby. Barf! this whole thing makes my stomach hurt

    I know stuff like this happens all the time, but damn...it IS SO sad. I wish they would've handled it better...like, NOT selling the story and NOT giving info and NOT telling the whole wide world. Bottom line, a pregnancy is suppose to be a beautiful experience, but when a kid is having a baby...what do u make of it? I feel bad. It's sad that she thinks everything is okay, granted she's coping with the hand she was delt with.

    the mom is sick. She should support her in OTHER ways that DON'T involve a bank account.

    I wish her all the best, and hope that she finishes her schooling. All the selling the story etc..is a little confusing, it's not like she needs money, so maybe they are doing it so they can control what's being said. Although I don't think anyone is going to be able to get a handle on this media circus.

    Reason why only a million:

    TMZ says:

    Why so little when others have commanded several million? We're told it's because Jamie Lynn is not an international star and it's not worth it to the mag to pay big bucks for something they can't sell overseas.

    ALL of this is sooo sad...
    i feel for her, because she hasn't experience enough of life, and i'm afraid she might end up like her sister...later, when she is like 18... when she realizes that she has more freedom...

    Dumb Dumb Dumb girl, all people think about now is money. Honestly, people with money and fame could do SO much with their lives, but decide to waste it. Don't get me wrong, I think all children are blessings, but I think its stupid that I'm working my butt off to pay for college and a better education, while some sixteen year old who makes 3X as much as me gets knocked up and showcases her pregnancy around. Angry Mob Alright, I'm done. Smiling

    With a mom like Lynn no wonder Britney is so messed up and Jamie is on her way. Having this baby is going to rob of her of the best years of her life. Lynn has consistantly pimped these girls out and has paved the way for them to turn out wrecked!

    US mag says:

    "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children,'" the source says. "Lynne didn't care."

    Jamie is "devastated" by the news, says the source. He's "extremely depressed" and "feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life."

    WTF?? I thought Lynne had more sense than this...why would she do this???

    Dang the whole family is sick! I realized that Jamie Lynn started dating the baby daddy when she was 13 and he was 16! Wow.

    "I just hope she's smart enough not to glamorize this"

    bellasugar - uh, sorry, don't hold your breath. Eye-wink

    This is why I am so against teenagers having sex. They can't handle dealing with pregnancies, babies, std's and stuff. Teenagers always think it won't happen to them. Makes me sick!

    FB1977 i'm SOOOO glad that poppa spears decided to

    "put his foot down and refuse to take any money and profit off of his children" i'm sure brit brits pepsi deals have pretty much set him up for life so now he doesn't have to give a sh*t anymore about the other one who is clearly in need of some seriuos mental help and normal parents

    Sparkliegirl - how can you say these are the best years of her life? I hated it when people told me my "high school" years would be the best of my life - in fact, they were the worst so far and probably are for most kids. You are going through huge changes, everything is so "teenage dramatic", and you want to have freedom but still aren't old enough since you aren't of age. She isn't losing the best years of her life, lets all hope that the best years are still to come! It makes it sound as if people should just die after they turn 18, I mean, if those were the best years what else is there to live for? Anyways, this was a bad decision on her part to not be more careful with her birth control planning, but mistakes happen. She isn't a wh*re, plenty of people fool around when they are teenagers (not saying it is right or wrong) and some people make mistakes. Her mother should have been a better influence, but then again, a 16 year old who wants to do something will most likely find a way to do it despite a parents best efforts. I just hope for this child that her comments about being a responsible adult about the situation do come to fruition.

    It's sad that Britney can't be the role model Jamie Lynn never had...a friend of mine's mom was not there for him at all, so he relied on his sister to be there for him and guide him through his teenage years. Jamie Lynn doesn't even have that...Britney's such a mess. Lynne should most definitely be ashamed of herself.

    I can't believe she would sell her privacy and baby for 1 Million dollars. Because after she sells those pictures of her newborn, she will make THEM well known. She is selling her kid's future for her own profit. DISGUSTING!

    I used to like Jamie-Lynn. Now I see she is just as greedy and attention driven as her sister.

    "I hated it when people told me my "high school" years would be the best of my life - in fact, they were the worst so far and probably are for most kids."

    I so agree, although I didn't have "bad" years as a teen. I merely have MUCH better ones now.
