I think Britney just had a better promotion/publicity team behind her that hid all the problems. Notice it was when she fired her "team" that suddenly she started getting all crazy and her image started changing. I think Britney is now at a stage, similar to that of Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise where she knows she's established and she's not gonna take crap from anybody and wants to take total control of her career and surrounds herself with "yes" men who are just happy to be working for them and wouldn't dare speak up and jeopardize themselves. Elvis was the same way in the 70's.

NEW YORK (AP) - Lynne Spears' book about parenting has been delayed indefinitely, her publisher said Wednesday.
Lindsey Nobles, a spokeswoman for Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., said Wednesday that the memoir by the mother of Britney Spears was put on hold last week. She declined to comment on whether the delay was connected to the revelation that Spears' 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant.

"I can tell you that we are standing behind Lynne and supporting her decision to be with her family at this time," Nobles told The Associated Press.

"Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" was initially scheduled for release May 11, Mother's Day. Spears, the mother of three children with ex-husband Jamie Spears, had been working with a Michigan-based freelancer since March on the memoir chronicling Spears' experiences raising a family in the public eye.

Jamie Lynn Spears, star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine in its new issue that she's expecting her first child and the father is boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Nobles and representatives for Britney Spears said they did not know how Lynne Spears could be reached for comment about the status of her book.

If I was the publisher, I'd stop payment on the check...

Doesn't make you a slut. One of my best friends at college just had her baby at 18 and I have so much respect for her and how she handled it.

What pisses me off about teenagers having sex is how irresponsible they are to be doing such a thing. No one cares anymore, they think it's a big joke and do whatever they want without thinking about consequences. Everyone thinks it's funny, I can't believe some of the crap I hear from kids about it like it's a big frikkin joke. Jamie Lynn isn't some victim, she made the decision to do what she did. It sucks that she's going to have to deal with this, but it's her own fault.

i agree 100% with this

I agree, surely Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend had been educated about safe sex, birth control, etc... Jamie and beau surely should've known the potential consequences by having unprotected sex at their young age

With Brady's $$, she probably donated it to charity. That's what Brad and Angelina did with the proceeds of the baby picture...forget which mag that was. Suri Cruise, that had to be worth zillions, lol.

I think it's mainly just because she's Britney's little sister and since Britney's going through some pretty crazy times, now the media wants to hook the whole family up as being a "mess". Look at what they did with the Lohen family. Sure, he'll never get dad of the year, but we don't know the details and he is an alcoholic - s**t happens people! The media loves digging every little dirty detail up now not only about a celeb, but their whole family if they have any remote ties to fame. It happened to Stallone back in the 70s and 80s and it's just gotten worse over the years. I guess they think it makes the average person feel better about their disfunctional family.

Let's just hope each one of them also gets AIDs tested and tested for other diseases. No one seems to think of those tests when taking a pregnancy test.

I too am baffled at anyone becoming pregnant in this day and age when there is so much out there to protect that from happening. What bothers me more is unless two people get AIDs tested before having UNPROTECTED sex, they are playing russian roulette. I know I did that before my boyfriend and I decided after several months of dating that we both needed to be tested. I knew I was safe, but for my peace of mind, I asked him to go with me so we could both do it at the same time and be assured. It put fears to rest and also allowed me to use another form of protection and not use condoms.

Many guys don't like using them, no matter how much a girl pleads that one be used, there are so many guys who sweet talk their way out of putting one on.

the Jackson family is another perfect example. I honestly believe the fact that Janet was Michael's sister (and Michael was getting ready for court and everything at the time) had a lot to do with the fallout over the Super Bowl nipple flash. Granted, it was controversial but notice that Janet got 95% of the fallout whereas Justin Timberlake walked away from it without a scratch. I wonder if she would've received the public firestorm of negativity if she didn't also happen to be Michael's sister considering Justin was one half of the Super Bowl halftime fiasco as well but yet his career has continued to thrive and the Super Bowl incident is considered irrelvant to his career. Yet whenever Janet comes out with a new cd, she is STILL bombarded with Super Bowl questions. I think there's a huge double standard there and I believe much of it has to do with the fact that Janet is a member of the Jackson family considering the opposing trajectories that Janet and Justin's careers have taken since this happened.

Which is why I don't understand why the mother would want to give an interview with her teen daughter abt a private situation? Ok, she is a "celebrity" with a hit show. But how many bigger stars are there who don't talk to the media? Don't give interviews? Don't give out information? Plenty of them. We just finished yapping away abt Jodie Foster and how she has done very well at keeping her private life private and it makes no difference to us that she has kept things to herself. With all the broo ha ha over Britney and her kids, clubbing, drinking, etc. you would think Lynn Spears would try and KEEP THIS ONE THING PRIVATE. Sure, eventually the world will know Jamie is pregnant, but doesn't mean you should splatter it on a gossip magazine. Hasn't Lynn learned what giving too much information to the media can do to her child? It is the mother in me that is speaking here, so if I get kinda emotional abt this topic it is because of that. I too was a teen and we all made mistakes.
What Britney does is her business, she is an adult, but Jamie is not an adult and needs her mother at this difficult time. Let's hope things work out for Jamie and her new baby. Things can't be all bad.

[Courtnee]

Exactly. I don't think she should have been having sex in the first place, but she made a mistake and hopefully she handles it well.

[Dean Winchester]

I think it's interesting how Britney's older brother refused to go into the public eye and yet media seems to somewhat respect his privacy. I think it worked out on his behalf because with the Britney media-storm, he still seems to be ignored and anonymous, and I'm sure he wants it that way

Now now, Karen...When Jackie got knocked up at 16 we ALL had our fair share of "trash" and "slut" jabs.

I'm sure Jamie's mother is there for her now. I don't understand your problem over an interview, why you're making a fuss over a non-issue. Some celebrities grant don't grant interviews, but many, if not most, do. It's their choice. Since when is that such a big deal? It's not the Enquirer she's talking to. Look at a newsstand, with 100s of magazines, filled with interviews from Joe Torre to Laura Bush. Jamie is a celebrity. Celebrities give interviews, especially with a big development in their life, be it a wedding, divorce, pregnancy, new movie or project, etc.

It's a little late to keep it private. Lynn Spears probably just wants to explain her viewpoint on the situation, get the FACTS out, stop the rumors and speculation. Her daughter is being called every name in the book, everywhere. There's nothing wrong with talking to the media. Talk shows, magazines, radio interviews -- it's all part of being a celebrity. It goes back hundreds of years, and there's no shame in it.

While I don't agree with teens having sex the fact of the matter is.. she did and she's pregnant. Only thing to do is wish her a healthy pregnancy, healthy precious little baby and safe delivery. She's finically set so the only thing for her to really do now is suck it up and get into mommy mode because it's going to be a tough ride... but so worth it!

I have this feeling she's going to do just fine. I'm sure (atleast I hope) she's learned from watching the mistakes Britney's made with her sons and I just hope the media remembers Jamie is not Britney.
Then again I may be totally wrong lol..
