Now that nearly all of the facts about 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy have come forth - she's due around Mother's Day, and Nickelodeon seems committed to airing Zoey 101 - it was inevitable that rumors started surfacing. Some of the buzz:

" Spears was paid $1 million by OK! for her story. (The tab got a bargain, if you ask me.)
" Though Spears has ID'd Casey Aldridge as the child's father, the New York Daily News hears she had been seeing rapper Lil' Romeo.
" Casey's Uncle Odus tells TMZ ( see video here) the family is "shocked" and yet "we aren't" by the news. A pastor, Odus has seen "this type of thing" more often than he'd like.
" Britney has sent her sis blue and pink baby blankets with a note: "Just a little something to keep the little gal or guy warm. I luv you, Brit."
" And perhaps the silliest story I have seen this morn: Fashion designer Liz Lange tells People mom-to-be Jamie Lynn should dress in "little cute dresses and jeans with tight-fitting T-shirts," adding, "she's 16, and I'd like to see her look her age." Did she really just bring age-appropriateness into this conversation?

What's your take? Is this story only going to get worse before it gets better? And do we need the strike to end or what?!
