Yesterday we reported that Jamie Lynn Spears sent a baby gift to Sarah Palin’s 17 year old pregnant daughter, Bristol. Today Lynne Spears has issued a statement denying reports that she and daughter Jamie Lynn Spears sent a baby gift to the teenager.

“I just got off the phone with Lynne. I can tell you that she hasn’t sent her any gifts, but that she does support Sarah and, of course, can empathize with their situation,” Spears’ publicist said in a statement Thursday.
