Lynne Spears' memoir to hit bookshelves in September

One kid knocked up at 17, the other battling a total meltdown in her career, parenting ability and mental health. That didn't stop extreme stage mother Lynn Spears from writing a book on her experiences as a mom trying to guide her daughters in Hollywood. 'Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,' will go on sale in September. This was the book that started out as a parenting guide, but had to be re-formulated after both the Spears daughters turned out to be less-than-stellar examples of parenting gone right.

The highly anticipated book by Britney Spears' mother is set to hit store shelves next month.

Lynne Spears' Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, a memoir about her 'backseat role in Britney's path to fame,' will go on sale on Sept. 16.

According to the publisher Thomas Nelson ' a publisher of inspirational books and Bibles ' the book will take readers 'beyond the reach of the paparazzi and outside the narrow orbit of the Hollywood glitterati to share the inside story of the Spears family-as only a mother can tell it.' Topics she discusses include:
- Her regret in abdicating parental authority to managers, agents and record companies
- Her response to Jamie Lynn's teen pregnancy
- The startling events that led to Britney's meltdown and Lynne's showdown with manager Sam Lufti

I'd have a lot more respect for Lynne Spears if she could prove herself capable of making a living on her own- without pimping out or living off her kids. As for the 'startling events' that led to the meltdown, I think I could write that myself, and it would take two words: K-Fed. Not that startling, really.

In other Britney news, the pop star herself, accompanied by her dad/conservator, is supposed to be giving a tell-all interview to OK! Magazine. If OK! can make little sister/new mommy Jamie Lynn and her 19-year-old fiance look like Ken and Barbie living the perfect life, they'll surely be able to spin Brit-Brit's ramblings to make her sound like a Fullbright scholar. Also, Britney is appearing in a spot with MTV UK host Russel Brand to promote the upcoming Video Music Awards. She looks pretty good, but she still seems out of it to me.
