Star Catcher
Keisha Castle-Hughes: Jamie Lynn's Role Model

Not many people can say they've been nominated for an Academy Award and gotten knocked up by the time they are 16 -- but Keisha Castle-Hughes can!

Now 18, the "Whale Rider" turned unwed mom and her 14-month-old daughter strolled through Auckland, New Zealand on Tuesday.

If only Jamie Lynn could win an Oscar for "Zoey 101."

1. I thought she was engaged, soon after her and her fiance announced her pregnancy. Hmmm.

2. Pity the poor children that these selfish girls who want to play "dolls" bring into the world.

Children of teenage parents suffer terribly, and often end up just repeating the cycle.

3.

Just curious, but I saw nary a mention of "bastard" or any of the plethora of names you call Jaime Lynn Spears when speaking of this young woman. I wonder if she also has diet Coke in her 'fridge.

8. #2, don't be so quick to judge. I was a teenage mom, and my daughter who is 19 now, turned out just fine. It all depends on the kind of person you are. Now, if Lindsay Lohan would've gotten pregnant at 16 or 17, then I don't think she would've made a good mom. Keisha seems like a young woman with a good head on her shoulders, and I'm sure she's a great mom to that baby. But...I'm not judging.

11. The Unwed Mother terminology is stale TMZ. Plz pull yourselves out of the Victorian Era and welcome the 21st century.

12. You're right. TMZ is so ill equiped to speak in relevant language. After all, a stupid, irresponsible slut should rightfully and directly be called just that: a stupid, irresponsible slut. Hope that brings us up to date!

13. Can I just say, It is so old to tack on "unwed mother". Get over it people, it happens, move on.

14. You are exactly right # 12. I left my sons father because he beat the sh&% out of me. I am an unwed mother. So I guess that makes me a stupid irresponsible slut. Now I guess things are up to date..... Jerk

15. My grandmother was 16 years old when she had my mother. She didn't have any problems being a young mother.
