Cashing In!

When we heard that Lynne Spears's new book was "postponed" we thought that was code for CANCELLED.

Well, not so, reports TV's Extra.

However, contrary to previous reports, the book, being released by a Christian publishing company, is not about parenting. It's more of a memoir.

And it's the perfect opportunity to exploit her ghetto family's trashtastic ways for profit!

Thomas Nelson, Inc., the publishers, insist that the book is not a manual on how to parent: It's a warning.

"From the onset, the media have inaccurately reported that Lynne Spears' book is a parenting book. I'm sure this helps fuel tabloid readership, but it's simply not true," said Michael S. Hyatt, president and CEO of Thomas Nelson. "Lynne's memoir will provide a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities."

He added, "We believe in redemption. Therefore, we are standing by Lynne and her family during this difficult time."

If they're smart, they're gonna rush release this shiz and put it out around the time Jamie Lynn is due to give birth!!

Clearly we can all agree that Lynne did not write this: "Lynne's memoir will provide a window into the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities."
Those are some "big words" with "deep meaning" no???!!

Add, self-important ass to her family's resume as well "world obsessed with the wrong priorities" - the WORLD is obsessed with the wrong priorities? WTF - puh-leez, a lot of us are more concerned about our family members foghting in Afghanistan and Iraq, or atrocities in Darfur. Because some paparrazzi follow her daughter, and people find entertainment in reading about them does not make them the focus of the World. Life is rather intense these days, and as in times of past wars, a heightened focus on celebrities does become a culture phenomenon as a psychological relief from the harsh reality and complicated emotional toll of war-time. Perhaps if her family showed interested in others' troubles they would not be so focused on themselves and screwing their lives up. Perhaps if they weren't so concerned with their self-importance, these problems would be resolved.

If Nickelodeon does not stop airing Zoey 101 right now, they are sending a message to young kids that everything will be manageable and ok even if they do get pregnant. They need to send a message to kids that IT IS NOT OK!!!! YES, a little baby will be born and that is a beautiful miracle, but lives have been changed drastically here! Children are a great joy, they are, but it is tough to manage life and bring them up appropriately with good values so they can contribute to society. A 16 year old is not equipped to do this. I know her mother will help, BUT even in the best-case scenario, when the mother herself is not ready to be emotionally invested in their own child, it affects the child negatively. It’s just a sad, sad situation for the entire family and everyone involved. Nickelodeon needs to cancel her show AND stop airing it immediately and also address this publicly. They should go above and beyond the call of duty and point parents in the right direction in terms of what they should say to their young kids when they ask about this. PEOPLE! PUT THE PRESSURE ON NICKELODEON! WRITE TO THEM PLEASE!!!!!

In other words, the editors put the book "on hold" so that they could get Brit's mom to retool the content to blame fame for the messes she calls her daughters. Nice….

WARNING????? Shouldn't what happened with Brittney been a warning to HER about "the real-life world of fame and worldly success, including the toll it extracts from some who aspire to it. It will provide a much-needed corrective to a world obsessed with the wrong priorities." Look what Brittney is putting her and her family through!!! THAT was the result of fame and worldly success in their case, and yet she puts another one of her kids into the same frying pan of "wrong priorities". She shouldn't be shocked that she got another bad result!!! We should listen to this "expert"??? If she had another daughter, I guarantee you she'd put that kid on TV, too. Guaranteed!!!

This family is defination of trash. That poor inncent child will be raise into this mess that the sad part about it. Jamie have no positive women around her to teach her about being a mom.Hopefully the father mother is a great mom that can teach her how to be a great mom.It is all about money for this family. THEY SELL STORY,PICTURE TO THE TABLOIDS THAN GET ANGRY WHEN THE TABLOID do not write positive article. What a trashy family that child stand no chance.The father should prepare himself to be a single father.Kevin was actually smart to take his sons from this mess up family.

Ummm, well if it was a warning book as to what NOT TO DO when you are a parent then why was it "postponed"?!@ Hell, now is the perfect time to put that book out of its going to teach me and others how not to raise a child. B.S. Nooo, that book was a parenting book and it probably had faux worldly wisdom, bible quotes and the whole nine yards that you'd expect from people who are full of themselves.

She deserves the worst parent of the decade award. She just proved it when she said she doesn't know how Jamie Lynn can be pregnant since she doesn't miss curfew. Just goes to show that stupidity is genetic. Her dumbass methhead daughter deserves worst parent of the year award. The other dumbass underage daughter deserves dumb whore of the year award. With all her money she should have been able to afford a condom. Nothing but rich trailer trash.

This is too funny — since when is Lynne Spears and family a Christian poster story??????

She'd be better off turning her "memoirs" into an Infomercial and run it at 2 in the morning on all the TV stations. She could even create the whole Tony Robbins tape-series thing, with step-by-step lessons on how to pimp your kids.

Again, surprise surprise the gay man can't pop his head out of his misogyny pit long enough to take a breath.

Nicole Kidman is evil because she doesn't have custody of her kids
Men everywhere gets a pass even though they don't have custody of theirs.

Lynne Spears is evil because a couple of her kids have made mistakes
Jamie Spears gets a pass even though they're his kids too

Got mummy issues Perez? or is it just bog standard gay man sexism?

Hey guys, life is hard as it is. We all make mistakes. I can't force my beliefs on anyone, but in this ugly world that we created with so much hate, envy and animosity, shouldn't we all have compation? We sit on the sidelines stuck to the tube and obsess over these celebrities and bash them. They are humans that make mistakes. We all have family problems but they are our own. These people are under the microscope(spotlight),so there struggles are only magnified. It's easy for us to sit on the sidelines and criticize these entertainers. I honestly thought the same way that most of you bloggers think. I did some soul searching and came to a conclusion that the hate that i felt was nothing more than me having issues within myself. Reading these comments that you guys left here are some of the harshest statements that I've ever read. I wish that I could be articulate to put my thoughts into words. But the best way for me to say it is this; Criticizing another's garden doesn't keep the weeds out of your own! p.s. Jesus is King!!!

"If they're smart, they're gonna rush release this shiz and put it out around the time Jamie Lynn is due to give birth!!"

Lynne spears is hated by the book buying public. This book will go over like the titanic. She is a FUCKING LAUGHINGSTOCK. On top of that, Lynne condoned her 15yr old live with a 18yr olg boy. He drilled her like an oil well. Then she turns up pregnant and sells the story for profit. Lynne Spears is an unfit mother. Where exactly do you think shitney learned her "act" from. Lynne belongs in jail for pimping her daughters out.

Its being released by a Christian book company um ok seriously I don't get this both jamie lyn and her bf in a church now its been a few years since I went to church buttttttt doesn't the Christian belief say you shouldn't be having sex before marriage and also u have to be married to have children but yet their church is all fine with it and they are standing behind them ? Shouldn't they be taking a stand saying what these 2 KIDS have done and what this mother has taught them goes against everything they teach and hold true in their beliefs?
Here in Australia I read a story on a young girl about 18 years old being banned from her youth group and Christian church due to the fact she was going into bikini comps. Her church told her learn to cover up before we allow you to come back because her running around in a bikini goes against what they teach. But yet jamie lyn's church say its ok for young girls to get pregnant no wonder the church is such a joke lol.

Re: Chris –
Yes it is true all families have problems but when a family takes their problems and are willing to sell the story and everything to with it to the highest bidder just for attention thats just wrong. Her 16 year old daughter is pregnant but instead of taking her aside and coaching her on mother hood seeing as that is the road jamie lyn has decided to take she is running around hollywood selling her daughter's story the first pictures of her grandchild whats the bet if there is a video of the brith she will try and sell that too. Whats more they think what they are doing is right and I think that is what has upset people the most. You should not use your children like that they are not your personal atm.
And as said before jamie lyn for whatever reason is a role model to young children and young girls. I am a mother myself I have a daughter and it does scare me what she could learn from her role models later on in life if they are the same as jamie lyn.
Thats why I work hard to make sure I am my daughter biggest role model in life.

If you waste your money buying her book, at least do the OPPOSITE of whatever advice she may have because certainly her parenting SUCKS!

One daughters a looneytune addicted to drugs, fat food (yes thats not a typo), and showing off her twat anytime she can.

the other daughter thought since sleeping around was good enough for her older sister she might as well too! Oh and who needs to use protection or birth control!
16 and pregnant…what a great examply to our kids!
