PREGNANT JAMIE LYNE SPEARS WON’T BE DUMPED FROM US TWEEN TV PROGRAM
January 7th 2008 04:31
Nickelodeon said it won’t pull the February debut of kids TV program Zoey 101’s fourth season in the US despite the controversial real-life pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears, the show’s 16-year-old star, according to network executives.
Multichannel News said Nickelodeon executive vice president of corporate communications Dan Martinsen said on Thursday that the network has not changed its plans to premiere the fourth and final season of Zoey 101 next month, which the kids-targeted service has already taped.
The airing of the show’s last season, in which Spears plays a level-headed teen attending boarding school, came into question after Spears revealed on December 19 in the tabloid OK! magazine that she was expecting a child.
Nickelodeon said episodes of the show have continued to average 2 million viewers since news of Spears’s pregnancy.
