Surely by now you’ve heard about the so-called “Massachusetts Teen Pregnancy Pact.” Everyone’s been talking about the seventeen Gloucester High School students who “vowed” to become pregnant and raise their babies together.

“We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the school principal told Time Magazine, shaking his head.

Jamie Lynn Spears and the entertainment industry are to blame fault, at least two young mothers in the mostly blue-collar, Catholic fishing village say.

“We wanted to be like Jamie Lynn!” a knocked-up teen exclaimed to The National Enquirer.

Sixteen year old Alicia Mazzeo tells the celebrity weekly: “Jamie Lynn has a baby, and all the magazines make it sound so easy and so much fun…Hollywood glamorizes having babies, and a lot of young girls get seduced by it.”

Alicia gave birth to a daughter, named Isabella, last November 13th.

Alivia Fidler is also a student at Gloucester High. The seventeen year old mother of three month old Xavier says her pregnancy was inspired by Jamie Lynn Spears and Nicole Richie, a somewhat-reformed wild child who welcomed daughter Harlow with BF Joel Madden in January.

“Many of my classmates who got pregnant really look up to rich Hollywood moms like Jamie Lynn and Nicole Richie. They make motherhood look so easy. During the day they carry their babies as if they were designer handbags, and at night they’re out in clubs partying it up.”
