Jamie Lynn Spears has agreed to give up her unborn baby, it has been claimed.
The 16-year-old star of Nickelodeon show 'Zoey 101' will reportedly give the child to her mother Lynne as soon as it is born, so she can focus on her career.
A source told America's Star magazine: "After several weeks of personal soul searching and talks and discussions with her mom, Jamie Lynn reluctantly agreed that giving up the baby is the right thing to do.
"Lynne says Jamie doesn't understand the lifelong consequences of having a baby. She wants Jamie Lynn to continue her show business career after the baby is born and Jamie Lynn also realises she wants to enjoy her teenage years without the responsibilities of caring for a baby.
"Jamie Lynn will be back at work and trying to remind people of her talent and not that she is an unwed teenage mother."
Lynne will raise the baby at the family home in Kentwood, Louisiana, away from the Hollywood spotlight.
Since Jamie Lynn announced her pregnancy she has been living at the family's $3 million estate while studying for a high school equivalency exam and attending parenting classes. But it is believed once she gives birth she will return to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career.

Eva Mendes has poked fun at Will Smith's action hero status by revealing that he can't handle his booze.
Mendes, who starred alongside the Hollywood superstar in 'Hitch', was left amused by how quickly lightweight Smith got drunk.
She says: "Will literally takes three sips and he's buzzed. It's not even like three sips of whiskey; it's literally a pina colada or a daquiri - he loves girly drinks - and he's down."

Jessica Simpson is not happy about reports that she and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo have not broken up and she’s suing.
Simpson’s attorneys at Rosenberg & Giger sent a legal demand notice to the editor-in-chief of OK! magazine accusing the tabloid of printing a “defamatory and gratuitously mean-spirited article.”
The article entitled “Jessica Dumped” refers to Simpson and Romo’s supposed breakup. The article goes on to say that Ashlee Simpson is
trying to “distance herself” from her sister.
In the letter Simpson’s layers say the article is “utterly false, it is based on nothing more than rumor, gossip and innuendo spread by supposed, albeit unnamed, ‘sources’ who, even if they actually exist, obviously lack sufficient confidence in their accusations to risk public attribution.”
The lawyers say in writing:
(1) Mr. Romo and Ms. Simpson have not broken off their romantic relationship; and (2) Ashlee Simpson had made no effort to “distance herself” from her sister, Jesssica, with whom she remains extremely close.
The letter also demands that “OK! immediately publish a prominent and unambiguous retraction of the Article and that it cease and desist from publishing any further false and misleading attacks.

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was admitted to rehab again last night in a bid to beat her drug addiction.
Her record label, Universal, said the move was by mutual agreement after talks between Winehouse, her management, family and doctors.
'She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction,' a statement from the label said.
'She has now been given complete freedom to take as long as she needs to get better.
'Universal wants nothing more than to see her take the time she needs to come back to full health and fulfil her incredible potential,' the label added.
The announcement comes days after the Back To Black star was caught on video apparently smoking crack cocaine. It marked a new low for the 24-year-old, who is also battling addiction to heroin.
Earlier on Thursday her father, Mitch Winehouse, said the family had considered having her sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
But the authorities said it was not possible because the singer was not a danger to herself.
'You might consider taking drugs is a danger to herself, but unfortunately the authorities don't,' he said.
Winehouse still plans to attend the Grammy Awards on February 10, for which she has notched up six nominations. This is not the first time Winehouse has entered rehab, having made three failed visits in the past year.

A property belonging to Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas has become the latest to be threatened with demolition in a clampdown on illegal building by Spanish authorities.
The actor, famous for his role as masked crusader Zorro, has been given eight weeks to tear down part of the £5m beachfront holiday home that he shares with his American wife, the actress Melanie Griffith.
A court in Malaga has said that a 300 square foot wing of the six-bedroom mansion near Marbella on the Costa del Sol was built by the previous owner without the proper licence.
The edge of the walled property, named La Gaviota or The Seagull, extends onto a sandy beach in the exclusive residential area of Los Monteros, a ten-minute drive from Marbella town centre.
Neighbours have long argued that Banderas, who bought the property 11 years ago, is the victim of corrupt town hall officials who issued planning permission after illegally reclassifying green belt land in return for backhanders.
Hundreds of homeowners across the region, including many British expatriates, bought their homes in good faith and now risk losing their houses under plans by Spain's socialist government to target illegal properties.
Earlier this month Len and Helen Prior, a retired British couple, were among the first to have their home demolished after the regional government revoked the building licence issued by their town hall in Vera on the Costa Almeria.

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton wanted as celebrity hookers
| Etiquetas: Britney Spears, Paris Hilton
Britney Spears and Paris Hilton could be heading for new careers as reality TV show hookers - if celebrity brothel-owner Dennis Hof gets his way. Hof, the owner of Nevada's Moonlite Bunnyranch and star of HBO's Cathouse series, is convinced the pair have what it takes to make it at his legalised whorehouse.
Spears and Hilton certainly have the resumes to qualify for life at the ranch - their colourful sexual backgrounds include a catalogue of bed-hopping liaisons with Hollywood's most eligible and ineligible bachelors.
And the Simple Life star already has a porn tape on the market, shot by and co-starring her ex-lover Rick Salomon. The flamboyant Hof can see the headlines: "We can call it 'P + B: Celebrity Sex with Paris' Punani and Britney's Booty'." He adds, "I think Paris and Britney would be fun - and they're both tramps. Hell, they're giving it away for free, so they might as well get paid for it! "It'd make a great show. I'll speak to (U.S. cable TV network) HBO and see if we can make it happen
Britney Spears would never harm herself or her children because she loves them more than anything else and wants them back, the troubled pop star's on-off British boyfriend said.
Birmingham-born Adnan Ghalib insisted the 26-year-old singer was not suicidal and was "no different from any other mum", during interviews with two TV entertainment shows in the US.
He said Spears was upset after a court suspended her rights to see her two young sons - one-year-old Jayden James and two-year-old Sean Preston - following a stand-off with police at her home earlier this month which led to her being admitted to hospital for observation.
