Jamie Lynn Spears tried out to play Bella Swan. In a meeting with Nylon, the 29-year-old entertainer reviews her hesitance about going out for the main function in Twilight – and the enormous news she discovered soon after perusing for the part, which eventually went to Kristen Stewart.
“They needed to drive me. Power me. I recollect simply thinking like, ‘You all are crazy. I’m not playing a vampire. That is so inept. For what reason would I do that?'” she recollects. “Yet, I proceeded to peruse for that job. I sat in this little room, and I think Lily Collins was there, and I felt so debilitated. Much to my dismay, I was pregnant.”
At that point, Spears, who was only 16 years of age, was pregnant with her first kid, Maddie, who’s currently 12. Not long after the Twilight tryout, Spears chose to fortification down in Mississippi with an end goal to prevent the paparazzi from following each snapshot of her pregnancy. It didn’t work.
“The paparazzi still discovered me. Dislike I was in L.A. strolling down the center of the most mainstream road; I was in no place Mississippi,” she says. “.. I attempted to do as well as could be expected. But, sufficiently sure, wherever I went in Mississippi for that entire nine months, there was consistently paparazzi on me wherever I went. Yet, I recently realized that on the off chance that I just avoided it long enough that I could give my youngster some feeling of regularity back in her life.”
Notwithstanding the public examination that followed the news she was expecting, Spears never let the assessments of outsiders get to her.
“You have your first love, or what you call love in secondary school. You believe it’s eternity, and afterward, goodness my gosh, I’m pregnant,” she says. “I am embarrassed to need to tell my folks this and my family this. I couldn’t care less Tmz’s opinion of it. That was all I was considering: ‘These are my loved ones that I need to tell, and furthermore, I’m pregnant. There’s a person becoming within me, and I’m so youthful, I’m right around a child myself.'”
Notwithstanding broad judgment about being a pregnant young person, Spears confronted analysis for causing her darling Nickelodeon arrangement, Zoey 101, to reach a conclusion. In reality, however, the high schooler arrangement, which ran from 2005 to 2008, had shot its last scene months before Spears got pregnant.
“In this day and age, promptly I’d have my web-based media to post something, and it’d be cleared up. In any case, even today, individuals actually have their contemplations about it,” she says. “I didn’t get pregnant until presumably a half year after we wrapped or something to that effect, however a portion of the scenes had not broadcasted at this point.”

Regardless of why Zoey 101 reached a conclusion, fans basically needed more, a wish they’ve as of late been conceded with news that a reboot is in progress. For Spears, the opportunity to return to her character is “a truly serious deal.”
“Clearly we need to meet her as a grown-up now, and I do figure it ought to be a show for youthful grown-ups. We need to do it equity for the fans that were 10 and 12 when it initially broadcasted, while additionally acquiring the new age of fans,” Spears clarifies. “Finding that equalization will be truly significant in light of the fact that we need to associate with where individuals are today. The discussions that we’re having right currently are imaginative. ‘What is that story? What is the most ideal approach to meet Zoey today?’ We would prefer not to get it done to do it. We need it to be acceptable.”
Until the reboot happens as expected, Spears is giving fans a little treat – a reconsidering of the Zoey 101 signature tune, which will be accessible for download on Oct. 22.
