Jamie Lynn Spears may be blushing with the glow of unexpected pregnancy, but her lawyers are blushing with embarrassment over the Victorian defense of her character that they set against earlier pregnancy rumors.
\nWhen the National Enquirer<\/em> first reported on July 28, 2007, that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant, the tabloid was strongly rebuffed by the “Zoey 101” star\u2019s lawyers and threatened with the ever-looming legal action.
\nNow someone at the publication has leaked the lawyers’ letter<\/a> to PerezHilton.com, and the faces at the law firm are sure to be as pink as Hilton\u2019s website.<\/p>\n


\nThe text reads:<\/p>\n

Ms. Spears is a devout Christian with a spotless reputation, who lives in accordance with the highest moral and ethical standards in accordance with her faith.
\nThere is no \u201crumor\u201d concerning Ms. Spears\u2019 (non-existent) pregnancy, except perhaps for the baseless \u201crumor\u201d just now being created by the National Enquirer.
\nMs. Spears is not pregnant. It is pathetic for the National Enquirer to attempt to create a wholly baseless \u201crumor\u201d that Ms. Spears is pregnant, so it can run a malicious story and false story which would be emotionally devastating to a morally upright 16 year old girl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Guess they won’t be sending a similar letter to CNN.com which has been running the headline “How do you talk to kids about Britney’s sister<\/a>?” above the fold for the past two days.
\nTo top it off, Perez is also reporting<\/a>, via Life & Style<\/em>, that Jamie Lynn and baby-daddy Casey Aldrige are on the rocks and Lynne Spears is not expecting them to marry, according to an excerpt<\/a> from the OK magazine interview. And TMZ.com reveals<\/a> that Casey\u2019s uncle Odus, a retired Baptist preacher, is shocked by the whole thing.
\nMeanwhile, in the same OK! magazine interview, Jamie Lynn claims to be twelve weeks along in her pregnancy. Is she lying about that, as TMZ.com<\/a> is reporting, because it simply is too incredible\/ironic to believe that she would have her lawyers quash “emotionally devastating rumors” of an unplanned pregnancy and then be careless enough to actually get pregnant.
\nMaybe Jamie Lynn and Ma Spears haven\u2019t been in Los Angeles long enough; Everyone knows that you can lie to your therapist, but never your lawyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
