The Truth About Jayden’s Health Scare

November 12th, 2008 / Author: matt

Flashing a smile as glorious as the one she displayed 16 hours earlier onstage in L.A., Britney Spears stepped off her chartered jet at Mississippi’s tiny McComb-Pike County Airport on Nov. 7. She balanced son Preston, 3, on one hip while a nanny helped his brother, Jayden, 2. Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, and her brother, Bryan, were by her side; mom Lynne welcomed her on the tarmac.

It was the beginning of a perfect family reunion, until it all came crashing down. At a Nov. 9 barbecue lunch at Serenity, Britney’s estate in Kentwood, La., Jayden began having problems breathing, became non-responsive and developed hives. Britney immediately called 9-1-1.

 

“She was told it would take 30 minutes for the ambulance to get to her, so she was advised to drive to the hospital,” a source tells OK!. With a bodyguard at the wheel, they raced to Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center.

“The doctors weren’t able to immediately identify the problem, but later determined Jayden had suffered an allergic reaction to something he’d eaten,” says a source. The “something” was shellfish, a member of Kevin Federline’s family tells OK!.

 

“Jayden’s had a sensitivity to shellfish in the past, although he’s never been formally tested for it. He has been now,” the source continues, adding, “Britney was extremely upset.”

 

Thankfully, Jayden was released from the hospital and able to return home to his family on the evening of Nov. 10.

Before the medical crisis, the family, including Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn, 17, her fiance?, Casey Aldridge, 19, and their 5-month-old daughter, Maddie, were catching up with the star. With the Dec. 2 release of her album Circus, Britney is set for a huge comeback.

Britney’s Birthday Bash for her Boys!

September 17th, 2008

Giant balloons in every imaginable color, homemade ice cream, a vintage popcorn
machine and customized minicars with personalized “license plates”— proud mom Britney Spears went all out in putting together a birthday party to remember for her two precious sons.

 

Sean Preston, who turned 3 on Sept. 14, and Jayden James, who
turned 2 on Sept. 12, were the guests of honor at the fun soiree held at family
friend Adrienne Maloof-Nassif’s Beverly Hills estate on Sept. 13.

Making the event even more special was the presence of Brit’s little sister, Jamie Lynn, 17, and her 3-month-old daughter, Maddie, who met her cousins for the first time after flying in from Mississippi with Mom on Sept. 10. (Maddie’s dad and Jamie Lynn’s fiance?, Casey Aldridge, 19, stayed at home in Mississippi.)

 

As for the boys’ friends, “There were some kids there who are Preston’s playmates when he stays with his dad and goes to My Gym,” a source tells OK!. “Jenny McCarthy also brought her  6-year-old son, Evan.”

 

The lucky kids at the party, including Evan McCarthy and Kingston Rossdale, were treated to toys like Webkins and Skorpies Skates by Kitson Kids, who sponsored the birthday bash. 

 

Britney, who has looked fantastic in recent months, and stole the show (nabbing three Moonmen including one for Video of the Year) at the 2008 VMAs, enjoyed the party as much as the kids. “She often had Jayden in her arms,” adds the source. “Brit did the  honors when it came time to cut the joint birthday cake, which was decorated with a car, of course.”

The weekend was all about family, and the most special part for the singer was having Jamie Lynn with her. Despite their almost 10-year age difference, the sisters are best friends and talk to each other daily.

“I’m sure Britney would love it if Jamie Lynn were to move to Los Angeles,” the source explains, “but she’s as happy as could be at her home in Mississippi. So the sisters took full advantage of their time together.”

 

The two will no doubt be back together for Britney’s birthday on Dec. 2. The singer’s next album, Circus, is scheduled to be released on that date, and a party is in the works. The first single from the CD, “Womanizer,” is getting a Sept. 22 release, and at the same time, Britney’s official Web site will be relaunched.

OK! Exclusive: Jamie Lynn Fights Miscarriage Rumors!

January 16th, 2008

Despite reports that Jamie Lynn Spears has been rushed to the hospital due to pregnancy complications, a spokeperson for the 16-year-old is talking exclusively to OK! to deny the scandalous rumor.

"Contrary to rumors, Jamie Lynn Spears has not been rushed to the hospital nor has she suffered a miscarriage," the Zoey 101 star’s rep tells OK!. "She is healthy and at home with her mother.”

Jamie Lynn, younger sister of beleaguered pop star Britney Spears, is expecting her first child with longtime boyfriend Casey Aldridge later this year. She revealed her surprise pregnancy in December in an exclusive interview with OK!, in which she vowed to take responsiblity for her actions and her baby because "I put myself in this position, an adult position."

"I have really become at peace with the whole situation, and I think it’s the right thing for me to do," she continued. "It’s a personal decision that everyone would have to make for themselves. This one is just right for me."

Since her shocking announcement, Jamie Lynn has returned home to Louisiana, where she was spotted exiting the Adult Education Center with a GED book in hand alongside mom Lynne, to whom the pregnancy has brought her closer.

"It’s good to be able to have somebody who no matter what you do is always going to be there for you, who will never walk out," she tells OK!. "It’s really good to have that."

Jamie Lynn & Casey: “Committed to Each Other”

January 9th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Forget all the rumors you’ve heard regarding the relationship between young parents-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge. He hasn’t run off; they haven’t broken up; no one’s hiding from anyone. In fact, those closest to the couple reveal to OK! that the Zoey 101 star’s 18-year-old beau has marriage on his mind!

"They are fully committed to each other," Casey’s great-uncle, Pastor Odus Jackson of Galilee Baptist Church, tells OK!. "That’s how love goes. Jamie Lynn can have anyone she wants, and Casey is very popular too. But they keep on finding each other, and that makes me hopeful for their future. He wants to propose to her and get married!”

Since news of the 16-year-old actress’ unexpected pregnancy broke in late December, friends say the couple have been basically inseparable. “Jamie technically still lives with her mama," one source explains, "but she spends her free time with Casey." Which means the two lovebirds are constantly making the hour-long trek between her home in Kentwood, La., and his place in Gloster, Miss., where Casey is busy working hard to earn a living.

Jamie Lynn Continues Her Education

January 8th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

After announcing her pregnancy exclusively in the pages of OK!, Jamie Lynn Spears has already embarked on the challenges on being a new mom, including getting her education.

The 16-year-old Zoey 101 star, and little sister of Britney Spears, was seen with her mom Lynne leaving the Adult Education Center near their home in Kentwood, La. In Jamie Lynn’s hands is a book about the GED, the test which would give her the equivalent of a high school diploma without having to attend a proper school.

Jamie Lynn explained to OK! that she’s willing to take responsibility for her decision to continue with the pregnancy, saying, "Now that it’s in my lap and that it’s something I have to deal with, I’m looking forward to being the best mom I can be."

"I put myself in this position," she added, "An adult position, so I have to act like an adult and take responsibility for what I did."

OK! Exclusive: Brit’s Family Wants Her Back in Rehab

November 21st, 2007 / Author: cwillett

As Britney Spears‘ behavior continues to spiral out of control, and as it becomes more and more likely that her ex-husband Kevin Federline will maintain full custody of their two boys, her family, who attempted a drawn-out impromptu intervention at the troubled superstar’s Malibu home in October, are banding together to ask Brit to give rehab another try.

“Brit’s parents, her brother Bryan, and her sister Jamie Lynn, were all hopeful she’d do what she needed to do to keep her children,” a family friend reveals in the new issue of OK! — on newsstands now. “But she seemed to just thumb her nose at everyone. So they are going to attempt another intervention and hopefully save her from herself.”

Almost a year ago, following Britney’s panty-less dive into hard-partying oblivion, her parents and then manager Larry Rudolph orchestrated a intervention, which ultimately led her to several rehab facilities in a matter of only a few weeks. Now the Spears family, including divorced parents Jamie and Lynne Spears, is hoping the holiday spirit will convince Britney to commit herself to long-term professional care so she can get well and have the opportunity to be a mother to Sean and Jayden.

“Although her mom and dad are divorced, they are banding together for the sake of their daughter and their grandsons,” the family friend tells OK!. “Her sister and brother have been meeting with their parents to figure out the best way to confront Britney. They know she needs a huge wake-up call if she is going to be successful in keeping her children and putting her life back on track.”
