(CBS/AP)  Just call her Aunt Britney now.

The pop star's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, gave birth to a baby girl this morning.

A person close to the Spears family confirmed the baby's birth to The Associated Press. The person asked not to be identified because the family had not yet made an official announcement.

Jamie Lynn, 17, and her fiancé Casey Aldridge, 19, are the proud parents of Maddie Briann, born at 9:30 a.m. at Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., according to E! Online.

A spokeswoman for the hospital told CBSNews.com that, in compliance with patient information privacy laws, she cannot release such information without the patient's permission.

The hospital is near the Spears' family home in Kentwood, La.

Nickelodeon, the network which airs Jamie Lynn's show "Zoey 101," issued a statement about the birth on Thursday, saying, "We wish her and her family well." Nickelodeon spokeswoman Marianne Romano said that filming of the fourth and final season of the kid-oriented program was completed last summer before Jamie Lynn became pregnant.

According to OK! Magazine, Britney flew home to Louisiana Wednesday with her father Jamie, brother Bryan and an assistant to be there for the birth.

Jamie Lynn was the star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" and Aldridge is a pipe-layer from Liberty, Miss. They announced the pregnancy in December.

Why are we giving attention to a child having a child. What a joke. Do you honestly think that she will be caring for the baby. I think that Grandma will be caring for this child not her. Or a Nanny will be hired. I am glad that my kids don''t watch her show because she certainly isn''t a roll model in my eyes. Only for somebody stupid not using birth control. Why hasn''t her "boyfriend" not been brought up on charges of rape because she is underage? TPT is what they are.

I''m still waiting on that book to come out from mom on how to raise children. I think she is the best example for all mothers out there. Just look at the success she''s had with her daughters.

That family is a JOKE.

nirak2: You are an ignorant buffoon! While not a Spears fan, i am aware the the value of Brittney watching revenue is over 115 million dollars. None of this goes to her, of course, that is the value of her to tabloids, etc.
Then there is the simple fact that she sold a bung-wad of albums, earning her record company, as well as herself, 100s of millions of dollars.
What is your life worth, $1.75?

Just anaother teenager having a kid before she/he is ready for the responsibility. I''m sure that there are some 17 year old''s out there who MIGHT be good parenting material, but I haven''t run into them. At 17, she should probably be in school, having fun and preparing for college.

That the MSM sees fit to print this greul speaks volumes to me. Is there nothing important going on in the country/world today!?!?!?!

That''s the United States for you.

Why will Medicare pay for Viagra for men, but not birth control for women?

An 80 year old, dying of cancer will be thrown in jail for smoking a joint, but a teenager can go have an abortion without having to tell her parents.

Just call me stupid,...........but I don''t get it.

I do not approve of her being so proud of this and waving it around like it is a wonderful event, however; for those of you screaming rape, sad to say, it truly depends on the state as to what the age of consent is. I know in WI where I am from he could be charged, but there are states where 16 is old enough. I don''t know what it is in MS.

A Massachusetts high school is facing a pregnancy boom with 17 girls entering summer vacation expecting babies in what some have called a pregnancy pact.

Officials at Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass., are investigating whether half of the teens made a pact to get pregnant during the school year, Time.com reported.

Officials said that beginning last fall a large group of girls started asking the school clinic for pregnancy tests, the site said.

"Some girls seemed more upset when they weren''t pregnant than when they were," principal Joseph Sullivan told Time.com.

The pregnancy rate at the 1,200-student school is four times higher than the previous year, and officials were shocked to learn that men in their 20s had fathered some of the babies, Time.com said.

"We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy," Sullivan told Time.com.



I still don''t get it.

Sorry, how is this news? Do we really care that a 3rd tier celebrity is having a baby? Aren''t there some vaguely more interesting or important pieces of news out there to make the headlines?

I''m just wondering how they are going to figure this into the plot of "Zoey 101". Being an unwed mother at 16 is ok if your folks including your big sis are worth big bucks?

Children having children. This is NOTHING to be celebrated. It''s a tragedy, for all involved. Of course, 9 months ago, they weren''t thinking it was a tragedy...

Forget the name calling and all that, though I understand that sentiment too...

Wow. A baby. The miracle of birth. "Proud parents." Excuse me while I puke. Her uterus works! Yippee! We were worried that she was going to be an old maid.

She''ll be 35 when the brat graduates from high school. How hip & cool. "Your mother looks so young, Maddie. How does she do it?"

Someone beat me to the "pipe" wisecrack.

These kids today. Can''t wait to be mamas & papas. Popping out the babies like a soda vending machine. "I''m bored with junior high, Dad. I need a new challenge."

WHY and HOW is this news? Plenty of women, young and old, give birth to children everyday, yet you don''t see it announced on the internet in the fashion that the Spears''get. Must be a slow news day. It''s as if these news outlets condone such incidents from MINORS. Yes, they are still MINORS, least you forget.

I wish her the best, people act like she is the only unwed person out there having a baby. I say CONGRATES. I had a baby out of wedlock and I am not ashamed and shouldn''t be my child is the best thing to ever happen to me. Jamie I wish you the best and forget about all these haters.

Give her a break. She''s only 17 and probably just had a little bad luck.

This not to be celebrated. Particularly with those 17 high school girls in Mass. who are pregnant. I wonder how many other girls across the country followed Jaime''s lead.

Why the rush to have a baby & get married? You''re 17 for crying out loud. Enjoy life as a single person. What''s so glamorous & exciting about having a baby when you''re a teenager? Or being married for that matter. It''s not going to be a non-stop honeymoon.
Most of it will be a mundane grind.

Why are so many girls so silly & stupid?
