Jamie Lynn Spears spent her 17th birthday partying it up in a manner more fitting big sister Britney: shopping at Walmart and going to dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Apparently the Spears family does little to combat the stereotypes of the south (what with Britney’s old “I can drive with my kid on my lap, I’m country, that’s what we do). Jaime Lynn’s trying to keep it simple, and you can’t really fault her for that. She spent the afternoon shopping at her local Walmart with baby daddy Casey Aldridge, then the pair hit up Ruby Tuesdays for a romantic dinner. While I’ve never actually set foot inside a Ruby Tuesdays, from glancing in the window I can tell you with some confidence that a plastic carnation in a grocery store vase does not equal a romantic setting. But if you want a mediocre steak at a good price, it’s the place to be.
While most young women turn their 17th birthday into a bawdy bash to remember, OK! can report that America’s most famous pregnant teen, Jamie Lynn Spears, who rang in her last year as a minor on Friday, chose to spend that special day relaxing with fiancé and father of her baby, Casey Aldridge.
Jamie Lynn and Casey spent most Friday relaxing in his hometown of Gloster, Miss., a short drive from the Spears family home in Kentwood, La. Sources tell OK! the lovebirds stayed indoors for most of the big day, emerging later that evening only to make a quick shopping trip to a Wal-Mart supercenter in McComb, where they spent about an hour inside the store. And for a few minutes, the small-town charm of McComb, with its population of 13,500, suddenly began to resemble Hollywood, as local police were called in to keep back photographers and fans. “Jamie Lynn looked super happy and kept smiling inside the Wal-Mart,” one shopper tells OK!.

Everyone’s making jokes about how Jaime Lynn isn’t with Casey for his money after that meal. But I could kinda joke that he’s not with her for her money either: OK reports that Jaime Lynn went shopping for Casey and bought him several pairs of sneakers at Hibbits Sporting Goods Store – each one retailing for $7.98. No one seems to know what Jamie Lynn got for her birthday from the father of her child, but I’m guessing it was an extra large milkshake.
Here’s Jamie Lynn on her way to Ruby Tuesdays yesterday. Images thanks to Splash.
This is why I actually still like Jamie Lynn. Her sister acts like she can get away with murder and that nothing is really that serious/permanent for her (court appearances, children, laws, drugs, rehab).
And then here’s JL dealing with this situation like a regular person and acting pretty damn NORMAL!

I think it’s kinda sweet and really shows how young Jamie Lynn and her beau really are. They seem like any other teen couple.

Y’know, it’s her birthday, and if that’s what she wants to do, why not let her do it and not make a fuss over it? I think I went to a local dive diner with my family for my 17th birthday, so it’s not like some weird “what the Hell?” kind of thing to do. And it’s not like Ruby Tuesday’s is HORRIBLE sure, it’s not Romanoff’s or anything, but it’s not Steak n’ Shake.
And honestly, speaking as a Southerner myself, I find Britney’s behavior much worse in the ‘stereotype’ department…but I will admit a lot of Southerners think Louisiana is ESPECIALLY hicky (we have our own stereotypes too!)

She looks really good here! Where’s her baby bump? I don’t see one…

not like there’s probably a whole lot of options in the town when it comes to shopping. it’s not like she’s in a shopping mecca like l.a. probably not a kitson in the state.

I’m glad to hear that she is being conservative with her money–at least she won’t be broke by 30 like her big sister! Maybe she’ll even have financial security for her kids too–who’d have thought that?

I’m a Southerner too & my fiance & I have been known to go on dates to Captain D’s or Sonic or some other dheap-o place on more than one occasion. I’d rather be with him & spend $5 on a meal than with some asshole & $50. It doesn’t matter where you go as long as you enjoy the company.
I’m glad to see her keeping a realatively low profile. It bodes better for her than if she didn’t
