Jamie Lynn Spears' baby shower -- which included Britney, Mama Lynne and about 30 other family members and friends -- was also a time for healing. Break out your trust quilts!
A source close to the fam tells us the day's festivities included an apology from Britney for putting her family through all kinds of drama the last few years. And the guests were warned ahead of time not to bring up any of Britney's antics -- in other words, no head-shaving jokes!
The shower was complete with Southern style food, including a family fav, mac and cheese. Jamie Lynn also opened presents -- the best being a camouflaged hunting gear onesie. Daddy's little redneck? Yep, all is back to normal at the old Spears shack.

TMZ is so negative that I sometimes feel dirty reading this crap. Give it a rest.

What is the point of making fun of people for doing normal things and being who they are?? Give these people a freaking break.

No jokes allowed about what a little slut Jamie is?? Knocked up and not married is not the way to do things. Does she have any idea who the daddy of the baby is???

In my family, all babies are given Red Sox gear as some of their first clothing. What's so strange about camo? It's being worn everywhere by all sorts of people. TMZ, you should be ashamed of yourselves for making fun of family traditions. Just because you wouldn't give a baby a camouflage or uniform onesie doesn't mean that yours is the only acceptable way.

I had been told by a friend who works at Disney that the father is a much older producer from Jamie Lynn's TV show and that this local guy is a 'well paid cover up' to keep the biological father from going to jail. Apparently, Jamie Lynn was quite 'popular' when she was left on her own in Hollywood to do her show. I can't believe a family would throw a shower for an unmarried teen who has enough money to buy her own stuff. It's the height of poor taste .. but then look at the family we're talking about. They are a train wreck.

It was a family and friends baby shower, traditional, and meant to express joy at the event and support, not just to get merchandise. Yes, the family can buy everything they need for that baby, but traditions of support are the glue that holds communities together.
I am feeling very sorry for the writers who work at TMZ. They seem to have no humanity, decency. They seem to get a real kick out of insulting people. Do you really think that is what the public wants to read? Insults? I don't think so.

I am just laughing at the fact that Harvey Levin, who actually
approves ALL the reports and even reads our comments here put on this
site had his @$$ handed to him over the story TMZ covered about Billy
Bob Thornton's teenage son having a sexual relationship with an adult
woman. Harvey broke a very serious rule in this field called news
reporting: he not only showed the kid's face but also posted his name
in the news report. CNN's cheif editor was even saying that is a huge
violation in reporting that you just don't do. Well, Harvey is not
known for being a professional nor for being one to be respected by
his peers. He is a hack and he has proven that. When asked about why
he posted that information theTMZ sausage bandit said, "I think the
story speaks for itself." What's up, Harvey? Can't you stand by your
story like a real reporter does? TMZ is owned by Time Warner. Harvey
just put a huge noose around his neck and it is only a matter of time
before the chair is kicked out from under him. Notice TMZ has not even
touched the story since they first reported it last week?

This is a response to Tired and ready for a Nap...Please go take your nap. Your comments are ridiculous. So what your are saying is if your rich you do not deserve a baby shower, and if your not married you do not deserve a baby shower. Do you deserve a baby shower only if your poor and marrierd? Who cares if she has enough money to buy her own things, if her family wants to buy her stuff to support her so be it.. The baby is on its way no matter what, so who cares if she gets a stroller or a pack of onesies given to her. I agree that being a 16 year old single Mom is not the best situation, but regardless she is pregnant and I am glad that her parents and friends are standing behind her.. I sure would hate to rely on Tired and ready for a nap, if I was your friend or child.

Can you name all the Hollywood women who have had babies and are not married? Nicole R, Jessica A., Halle B., Angelina J., and the list goes on. Everyone, even TMZ, seems to celebrate these little bastards. I cannot see the difference.

There's gotta be another blog somewhere in which we can find photos of Harvey, and where we can trash him as he melts down, just like he loves to do with everyone else.
Can anyone suggest a place where we can go to do this?

It's a SHAME children networks have not dumped Jamie Lynn. Being pregnant at 16 and an unwed mother at 17 is not okay. She lost her role-model status with her virginity.

TMZ's report from the shower is totally made up. Was your source the moron in the helicoptor with a Walmart pair of binoculars? There wasn't a single person there that would have talked to the press.
What would Britney need to appologize for? Mental illness isn't something you get because your from a small town in Lousiana or because some flunky who can't write copy slept their way into a lame job for AOL. Screw you people. How ignorant do you have to be to spew that much hate on someone you don't know? I find the idea that she needs to apologize to anyone repulsive and insulting. Her parents, friends and family owe her an apology.
