Big Sister's Shadow

Jamie Lynn is the younger sister of pop-superstar and paparazzi queen Britney Spears.

That year, she also played a younger version of her sister's main character in the movie Crossroads.

In 2005 Zoey 101 was nominated for an Emmy Award, and Jamie Lynn won Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for best Female TV Star and best TV Female Actress. This cemented her status as a Hollywood star and made her more than just Brit's little sis.

Oh Baby, Baby!

In a shocking announcement on December 19, 2007, in an exclusive interview with OK Magazine!, Jamie Lynn and her mom, Lynne Spears, revealed that Jamie Lynn was 12 weeks pregnant! The father is boyfriend Casey Aldridge. On Thursday, June 19th, Jamie Lynn gave birth to a baby girl named Maddie Briann. There were no complications and it's safe to say that pictures of the little girl and her infamously young mom will be the number one target of paparazzi for a while.
