Focus shifts from Jamie Lynn back to Britney
Lynne Spears Is Back In Town

Now that the biz of overseeing the birth of her youngest daughter Jamie Lynn‘s first child, the settling in of daughter/grandchild/babydaddy and the successful sale of the first photos of said grandchild is completed, Mama Lynne Spears has packed up her bags and made her way back here to SoCal to refocus on her eldest daughter Britney Spears and her needs. Here are a few pics of Mama Lynne upon arrival in LA at LAX airport yesterday afternoon:

Mama Lynne looks tanned and ready for action … I understand that Britney has a court hearing or two coming up and, of course, we know that she’s bizzy working on her new collabo with/for Madonna. I’m sure that Mama Lynne wants to be here to offer her help and support in whatever Britney needs … er, that is until Jamie Lynn recalls her back to Kentwood, LA to help with Maddie Briann‘s diapers or whatevs. It must be tough to juggle the wants and needs of two famous daughters all at the same time. It’s hard out here for a pimp.

Is saving her story for 'OK!' magazine
Lynne Spears Stays Mum On Offering Deets On Grandbaby

Lynne Spears was spotted filling up her car at a gas station in Hammond, LA after dropping her son Bryan Spears off at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport this past Sunday afternoon. When pressed by the photogs for information on Lynne‘s newest grandchild, Maddie Briann (who was born to Lynne‘s youngest child Jamie Lynn Spears on June 19), Lynne stayed completely silent, not offering a single word in response:

Obvs Lynne Spears is not going to give away any of the details that she pre-sold to OK! magazine for $1 million bucks so I understand her silence. It is yet unclear just how long we will have to wait before that OK! issue with the first pics of Maddie Briann is released. If OK! was smart then they would’ve built a timeline into the agreement with Mama Lynne Spears (ie. the photos would have to be taken within weeks of the baby’s birth), if Mama Lynne was smarter than the deal was left open-ended and the photos wouldn’t have to be shot on anyone’s schedule other than Jamie Lynn‘s. Isn’t the business of selling your grandchildren’s photos a tricky one? In any event, I understand that the entire Spears family is planning on remaining totally mum on any news regarding JL or Maddie Briann until the coverstory is released … we shall see how well they are able to keep quiet in the meantime.

JL Spears is ready to blow
A New Spears Is On The Way

Yesterday I posted pics of Britney, Bryan and Jamie Spears arriving en masse at LAX airport and I stated that the fam was bound for “destination unknown” … clearly, I had lost my mind. The Spears clan were making their way to Kentwood, LA to be with little Jamie Lynn Spears for the eminent birth of her baby … tho, I was thinking that Brit & co. might’ve been bound for London to shoot her new music video for Radar (a rumor supposedly let loose by Larry Rudolph). But anyways, I now know that Brit Brit is in Louisiana to be with her little sister … here are a couple pics of the Spears clan making their way from the airport in Louisiana to Serenity, the Spears family estate in Kentwood:

Britney Spears is at home in Kentwood, La., to be on hand when her sister Jamie Lynn gives birth, PEOPLE confirms. After taking an early morning commercial flight from LAX, the singer, 26, touched down in New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon with her father, Jamie, 55, her brother, Bryan, 31, and her assistant, Brett. The Spears clan then headed home to the Spears family Serenity mansion in Kentwood. Their arrival comes just before Jamie Lynn, 17, is expected to give birth.

Since the whole family is in Kentwood, LA together, it seems clear that Jamie Lynn is prolly very close to giving birth to her baby. In fact, Britney and Mama Lynne have already been spotted making their way into the hospital where JL is due to birth her young’n …

‘Storm’ Front

After hitting a speed bump or two, Mama Lynne Spears‘s tell-all memoir (which was put on hold almost immediately after it was announced for publication) is now back on track for a Fall release. Entitled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, Lynne‘s new book will tell her side of the story of raising her famous daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn. Hmmmm:

Lynne Spears’s memoir about raising her famous daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn will be released this fall, the publisher confirms to PEOPLE. “When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold,” says a spokesman for Thomas Nelson, which publishes inspirational books and Bibles. “Lynne never stopped working on it because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother’s eyes.” Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World” is likely to be released in September, says the spokesman. Spears’s manuscript “will not be a parenting book,” he says. “It’s her story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It’s a memoir.”

I dunno about this. The book may have been put on hold when news of Jamie Lynn‘s pregnancy broke earlier this year but I recall that Britney was never too keen on her mother writing a book about their family private life. I would hate for Lynne to jeopardize all the progress she has made healing the rift with her daughter just so that she can release a tell-all book. Something about this whole thing just rubs me the wrong way. I suppose the book could be an uplifting and totally positive fluff piece completely devoid of any salacious and/or disparaging content … but I suspect the publishers are very interested in selling books, and the salacious sells. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how much of her daughters Lynne Spears is willing to monetize in order to sell some books. [Source]
