NEW YORK - Lynne Spears' book about parenting has been delayed indefinitely, her publisher said Wednesday.

Lindsey Nobles, a spokeswoman for Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., said Wednesday that the memoir by the mother of Britney Spears was put on hold last week. She declined to comment on whether the delay was connected to the revelation that Spears' 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant.

"I can tell you that we are standing behind Lynne and supporting her decision to be with her family at this time," Nobles told The Associated Press.

"Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" was initially scheduled for release May 11, Mother's Day. Spears, the mother of three children with ex-husband Jamie Spears, had been working with a Michigan-based freelancer since March on the memoir chronicling Spears' experiences raising a family in the public eye.

Jamie Lynn Spears, star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine in its new issue that she's expecting her first child and the father is boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Nobles and representatives for Britney Spears said they did not know how Lynne Spears could be reached for comment about the status of her book.

***I cannot believe they would have Spears mom write a book on parenting.***

Maybe the Spears mom and the Lohan mom could collaborate.

16 is the age of consent in many states. Plus he’s only 19, and it’s unusual for a 3 year age difference to be considered staturory rape

In Oregon all sex under age 18 is ILLEGAL. Adults having sex with girls under 18 is statutory rape. Not sure about California, probably more liberal.

According to this site: LINK the age of consent in LA is 17.

Some prosecutor could get real famous real fast. Might not be a bad idea as far as his political career goes.

So this is what Britney looks like when the makeup artists are not around and the photo is not airbrushed.

I may be wrong, but I sex most likely occurred in Louisiana, I think that’s where they met (at church no less). So they’d have to prove which state it occurred in on top of everything.

The one thing I think everyone is missing is the fact she could have “had it taken care of” but she didn’t. She did not have an abortion, but chose instead to keep it, despite the fact that this will damage her career IMMENSELY, and likely cost her millions of dollars. She was dumb, yes, but at least she has owned up to it. I suspect that a number of teen actresses, when confronted with this same situation, have chosen to kill the baby.

It’s one thing I kind of find odd, that as a general rule, states that vote Republican generally have laxer statutory rape laws.

The main problem I have with many statutory rape laws is that one day, sex is legal, the next, it might not be. It seems too arbitrary to me. Age difference is a much more reasonable way to go, IMO.
