Jamie Lynn Spears wants to be a country singer

Jamie Lynn Spears is working on an album . . . a country album. Sweet. How long into it until we hear a cider jug? My guess is five seconds into the first song. From E!:

Jamie Lynn Spears is looking at the Jessica Simpson model for career reinvention. While Britney continues on her comeback tour, sources confirm to E! News that her baby sister is hoping to become the next Nashville star.

The younger Spears, who took leave of a burgeoning Hollywood career to relocate to Mississippi to raise daughter Maddie, "has been quietly working on a country album since last fall," says a source close to the family.

Although Jamie Lynn's only musical credit to date is warbling the theme song to her defunct Nickelodeon series, Zoey 101 (a tune cowritten by her more pedigreed big sister), that hasn't stopped Team Spears from "trying to get Jamie Lynn a record deal," says another insider.

The 17-year-old Spears recently recorded demo tracks in Nashville but has yet to land a label. (Source)

Jamie Lynn wants to be like Jessica Simpson? Good luck. There are only a handful of women in the world that can fill Jessica's shoes bra. You've got to give the little whore credit though. Unlike Jessica, Jamie Lynn has the street cred to become a country singer -- she's an unwed teen mother that was raised by abusive parents in the South. Sadly, there is one tiny component she's missing: a pickup truck a dog a broken heart talent.
