[edit] Biography

[edit] Personal

Jamie Lynn Spears was born in Kentwood, Louisiana, and spends time there with her father, Jamie, and in Los Angeles, California, with her mom, Lynne Spears. She attends school at Parklane Academy, a private school in McComb, Mississippi, and is a cheerleader there. She is a friend of Emma Roberts.

[edit] Career

Spears appeared in 2001's Total Britney Live and in a Pepsi television commercial in 2002. In the same year, she appeared briefly in the movie Crossroads, as the younger version of the main character, Lucy, who was played by her older sister.[1]

For two seasons, Spears was a cast member on the comedy-variety show All That on Nickelodeon. While on All That she also did many On-Air Dare (a Nickelodeon version of Fear Factor) skits where she was doused with 10,000 raw eggs, had to drink human sweat, and eat blue cheese dressing, among other disgusting acts. Another Trademark of hers on All That is that she often portrayed a 80 year old security guard who had an unusual obsession with bacon. She eventually left the All That in 2004 to star in Zoey 101, another Nickelodeon series.

Spears also sings the theme song for Zoey 101, entitled "Follow Me" (which was written by her sister, Britney). She stars as one of the first girls to enter a formerly all-boy boarding school. Zoey 101 drew record numbers with the premiere of the show, which gave the channel 1.6 million viewers aged 9-14, its biggest viewership in the demographic for a premiere in eight years. Zoey 101 was nominated for a 2005 Emmy for Outstanding Children's Program. In 2006, Spears won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for Favorite Female TV Star and Favorite TV Female Actress.
