Have you noticed that as the winter nights are drawing in you're starting to put on a few pounds, what with the cold weather and the inactivity and the cut-price booze and chocolates in the shops? Never mind, just do what Jamie Lynn Spears did when she noticed she had piled on a few extra pounds. No, she didn't refine her diet or even question why a young woman might be looking puffy after banging away on top of her boyfriend for a few weeks without using contraception. She went and got some liposuction.

Aged 16. Whilst pregnant. Yes, the Spears family is truly classy from top to bottom, or more accurately from head to tail.

 

It's all fine though, as Star magazine are reporting that she didn't know she was having a child at the time she underwent the procedure. Perhaps what she should have known is that she was 16 years old and hardly the ideal recipient for liposuction. So the reason for the weight gain was her pregnancy - which is odd, as she announced she was pregnant just three months into the gestation, and she was hardly the size of a space hopper at that point (Jamie Lynn must have been delighted when the baby was born - another eight pounds lost in a few minutes!).

 

Surely the surgeon who performed the procedure will be struck off, ostracised and eventually given his own chat show? Well no, because initially he was unwilling to perform such an operation on someone so young, but she just kept insisting. The 'she' in question being Jamie Lynn's mother... er, Lynne.

 

"Her mom approved the injections and went through tons of red tape to get the clinic to administer them to an underage patient."

 

Whether she knew her daughter was pregnant or not, this is still pretty shoddy parenting. It's a wonder that her other daughter Britney has turned out so well - just the one failed marriage and the one complete psychotic breakdown so far. So far.
