Last week I reported that shocking information that was reportedly taken from Lynne Spears‘s new book Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World revealed that Britney Spears had engaged in very dangerous behavior at a very young age. Pink readers left quite a few comments that doubted the legitimacy of the original report … and it turns out they were right. A new report from the Associated Press paints a very different picture concerning the information in Lynne‘s new book … a picture that makes Lynne a more sympathetic character, which makes more sense overall:

The mother of Britney Spears says that the singer has overcome the tabloid nightmares of the past few years and believes that little by little, her daughter is regaining her “glorious voice.” Lynne Spears writes of her famous child and her other celebrity daughter, Jamie Lynn, in “Through the Storm,” to be published Sept. 16 by Thomas Nelson, a leading Christian publisher. The Associated Press obtained an early copy. The 211-page book, which includes several pages of family photographs, tracks Britney Spears’ life through her precocious early years _ she was singing and dancing by the time she was 3 _ through her explosive rise to her pill-addicted, near-tragic fall. Lynne Spears describes young Britney as a confident, outgoing girl whose talents were so obvious that family friends would insist she would one day be on Broadway. Spears rejects the image that she pushed Britney into show business, and writes that the singer was always focused on achievement and would constantly practice to the music of Madonna, Whitney Houston and others. In “Through the Storm,” Lynne Spears presents herself as a loving, selfless (she gave up her job as a school teacher for her daughter’s sake) but increasingly powerless parent. After the jolting, but pleasant surprise of Britney Spears’ debut smash, ” … Baby One More Time,” Lynne Spears says she felt she was losing control when a 1999 Rolling Stone magazine story featured a racy cover of the singer in panties and a bra. Lynne Spears recalls feeling “shock and dismay” at seeing her daughter shave her head, at her brief marriages to childhood friend Jason Alexander and dancer-rapper Kevin Federline, and her highly publicized custody battles over her two children. She also recalls feeling she had been “punched in the stomach” when she learned that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant at age 16 … The bottom came in the past two years with Britney Spears’ increasingly disturbing public behavior and her drugged private life in her Malibu, Calif., house. Lynne Spears writes that she was distraught as then-manager Sam Lufti told her he was grinding pills and putting them in Britney’s food, hoping to induce a coma that would enable doctors to cure her of all addictions. Britney Spears was hospitalized twice this year, the second time in February, when paramedics took her to the psychiatric ward of the UCLA Medical Center, where her mother says she finally received the care she needed. It was, Lynne Spears writes, a “turning point” for the entire family … Mother and daughter are close again, Lynne Spears writes, and Britney remains a “brave little girl who sang to the skies” so long ago.

Now this sounds more like it. Even tho I fear the book may end up being a spin job that makes Lynne and the Spears family look as favorable as possible, I’m still dying to read this book when it gets released next week.

Lynne Spears‘s new book Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World won’t hit bookstores until September 16 (a date I have circled in red marker on my calendar) but we now have shocking new information (at least to me) coming out today that is said to be revealed in this book. Apparently, Lynne makes some very surprising revelations in her new book about Britney Spears‘s young life … revelations that, quite honestly, I find unbelievably sad:

Britney Spears’ mother is set to lift the lid on the troubled singer’s life – with revelations that she was drinking at 13 and lost her virginity the following year. Lynne Spears claims Britney was drinking not long after joining joined Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club, a U.S. variety television show. Mrs Spears also says her daughter lost her virginity aged 14 to an 18-year-old high school football player soon after she quit the programme. The sensational revelations were leaked to the National Enquirer ahead of the highly-anticipated publication of the memoir, called Through The Storm: A Real Tale Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World. A source has told how Britney was dating the football star while at school, and how her mother encouraged the relationship because she thought it would make her more popular. The budding singer spent a lot of time at her boyfriend’s house and eventually lost her virginity there. Her mother later admitted she regretted allowing her to date an older boy but still allowed her to share her bedroom with new boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. Mrs Spears was said to be sure the teenagers were having sex. She did not raise any objections because she thought Britney was in love and Justin was good for her. The book also reveals that she knew Britney, then 15, was experimenting with drugs when she went to Los Angeles to record her breakthrough album ‘Baby One More Time’. She thought she was going through the typical teenage problems, but they seemed to be more than that, when the singer was allegedly caught boarding a private plane aged 16, cocaine and marijuana was found in her bag. Britney was caught by her mother drinking alcohol as young as 13 but she reportedly didn’t mind her children drinking as long as she was there. She appeared to have little control over her daughter’s party lifestyle, and by the age of 16, Britney was frequenting bars in New Orleans with her brother Bryan, who is five years older than her … A source said: “Lynne’s book does a lot of soul-searching on the mistakes she made raising Britney and Jamie Lynn. She says if she had known helping her daughter Britney follow her dreams would cost her her soul, she would never have done it.”

I am having a hard time believing that Mama Lynne would actually make these kinds of revelations in any book that she writes (or has ghostwritten for her) … to admit to being OK with her 13-year old children drinking alcohol “as long as she was there” to supervise is very surprising to me. Now, we won’t really know what the content of Lynne‘s book is until the book is actually released … I do believe the bit that her book focuses on her reflection and soul-searching over decisions she made while parenting her young celebrity daughter, tho. I am very anxious to get my hands on this book so I can read Lynne‘s words, for better or worse, for myself.

At last, the tome that Lynne Spears has been working on for the past year (and was due for release months ago but had to be shelved due to daughter Jamie Lynn Spears‘s untimely teenage pregnancy) is finally about to be released … and we now have our first look at the artwork for the new book Through the Storm:

Lynne Spears’ promised book has shaped up to be less of a parenting handbook and more of a juicy memoir of a Southern mother raising a pop star in the midst of paparazzi mayhem. Titled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, the 272-page book published by Thomas Nelson—and to be released Sept. 16—is sure to be a page-turner. According to prereviews from Barnes & Noble, the book describes how Lynne was an ordinary mother changed by the success of her daughter Britney and how it pushed the family onto the worldwide stage. The book also promises to reveal a rarely glimpsed side of Lynne, her celebrity daughters, son Bryan and ex-husband Jamie. “The stories Lynne shares reveal the heart of a mother who struggles to keep faith at the center of her life through its many unexpected twists and serendipitous turns,” the prereview states. The book retails for $24.99. According to BreatheHeavy.com, a Britney fansite, the publisher says the book sheds light on much more, even touching on Britney’s breakdown, Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy and the infamous Sam Lutfi. This is not Lynne’s first foray into the publishing arena. She coauthored the novel A Mother’s Gift with her daughter in 2001, way back when Britney’s career still seemed like a family blessing.

This from the book publisher:

Lynne was just an ordinary Southern mom when the overnight success of her daughter Britney shoved the Spears family into the blinding limelight glare. Through the Storm takes 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. In this openhearted memoir, Lynne speaks about Britney, Jamie Lynn, Bryan, ex-husband Jamie, herself, and their lives together from Louisiana to Los Angeles, including:

– Lynne’s backseat role in Britney’s path to fame and how it forever changed their family
– Her regret in abdicating parental authority to managers, agents, and record companies
– The challenges that shaped Lynne and Jamie’s marriage and how that affected Bryan, Britney, and Jamie Lynn
– Her response to Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy
– The startling events that led to Britney’s meltdown and Lynne’s showdown with manager Sam Lufti
– How faith, family, and friendships have been her harbor in the storm of paparazzi, tabloid scribblers, and gossip hounds

Sincere, self-effacing, sometimes spunky, Lynne’s memoir reveals the heart of a mother who has struggled through difficult times and how she has held onto her faith and her sense of humor as she tries to hold onto her family.

Oh yeah, this is one celeb memoir I plan on reading. As I understand it, Lynne‘s book was initially supposed to be a parenting guide of some sort but methinks the publisher thought it better to retool the book as a memoir (especially for the flak that she took after it was revealed that Lynne sold the story of Jamie Lynn‘s unwed teenage pregnancy to OK! magazine which prolly didn’t win her any votes for Mother of the Year). I don’t really think this book will be “juicy” per se but I’m sure it’ll have a lot of interesting information for Britney fans like myself to munch on. I know I’ll be reading.
