Things really seem to be turning around for Britney, which is a wonderfully positive thing to witness. She's going to open this weekend's MTV Video Music Awards, brandishing two fingers to the debacle that was last year's badly mimed fest. We've been advised that it'll be "fun and unexpected..."
She's also beginning to realise how far she's come since January, doling out thanks to those who gave her a hand: "My father saved my life. I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. I've not always been a good daughter; but he basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn't even sure I wanted to go on living. I owe him my life." This is where I'd saying "Well, isn't that what dads are meant to do - especially if they're been given $2.5k a week for the privilege?" but God forbid I ruin a perfectly lovely moment. We'll leave that to ma.
Lynne's "parenting guide" Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World has finally been thrust upon the literary world (publishers thought it best to hold off it's release until Jamie Lynne had her baby) and it rakes more dirt than it does direct. According to The Sun: "Wild child Britney allegedly first hit the bottle after joining Disney’s squeaky-clean Mickey Mouse Club. Mum Lynne claims 14-year-old Britney then had sex with an 18-year-old high school footballer soon after she quit the TV show. And she had her first taste of drugs at 15 when she went to Los Angeles to record her debut album Baby One More Time... Lynne, 53, tells how she regrets handing over control of Britney's career to managers and allowing her daughter to be promoted as a sex object in raunchy videos at such a young age." So she's releasing an expose to make up for that. Doing so is universally a bit of a no no, especially when your daughter is clawing her way back from a breakdown, but mommy knows best!
In saying that though; here are pictures of Lynne and Britney heading out for dinner only a week ago so maybe her daughter's super OK with the book?!? I'm not sure what to think anymore...
