Spears to Palin: 'Hang in There!, XXOO' September 03, 2008 2:59 PM
Jamie Lynn Spears is showing some love to the latest-most-famous teen mom-to-be: Bristol Palin.
The 17-year-old “Zoey 101” star and new mom sent a gift of $60 pink burp cloths to the pregnant, unwed, 17-year-old daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- and along with it, a message of teen mom solidarity.
A spokesperson for Petit Tresor, the Los Angeles baby boutique from which the gift was bought, told ABCNews.com that Spears included a card with the package that read “Dear Bristol, Hang in there! XXOO, Jamie Lynn Spears.”
The spokesperson confirmed the Plain Mary burp cloths (pictured below), a popular baby accessory among celeb parents, were ordered by phone on behalf of Spears.
Contacted by ABCNews.com for comment, Spears' rep said she could not confirm the spokesperson's report.
Spears, the younger sister of Britney Spears, gave birth to her first child in June. Like Palin, who plans to marry the 18-year-old father of her child, Spears is engaged to Casey Aldridge, the 18-year-old dad of baby Maddie.
Two teen pregnancies, two national sensations: Sounds like it’s time for Spears and Palin to start the sisterhood of the traveling maternity pants.
