What does it take to land an interview with Lynne Spears in New York City and turn it around for Entertainment Tonight in L.A. the same day?
Bradly Bessey, Co-Executive Producer of ET, explains the behind-the-scenes action of Britney's mom's incredible interview with Jann Carl today -- and how the secret service could have pulled the plug on the whole operation!
It was all across the tabloids over the last year: Britney Spears' life looked like it was spiraling out of control, and the paparazzi crush was capturing every moment of it. Then, it was announced that Britney's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn was going to have a baby. Now, Lynne Spears is talking to ET's Jann Carl about her world-famous daughters -- and the nightmare of fame -- from the inside out!
She's still months away from exiting childhood, but at 17, Jamie Lynn Spears is diving gamely into motherhood! In the new issue of OK! magazine, on stands this week, Britney's little sis' dishes about tending to those late-night wake-up calls and diaper duty, her bounce-back exercise habits, and whether there's a future in show-business for newborn Maddie Briann.
Jamie Lynn, who tells the mag her pregnancy and natural delivery went perfectly according to plan, admits that adjusting to life as a mom was anything but easy or certain.
What was it like raising sisters BRITNEY and JAMIE LYNN SPEARS? Their mother LYNNE SPEARS will dish on the subject in a long-awaited book due out this fall, according to People.
"It's her story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It's a memoir," a spokesman for publishing house Thomas Nelson tells the mag.
The parents of BRITNEY SPEARS say they believe their daughter's life is at risk after being released early from the hospital despite the recommendation of her psychiatrist.
ET confirms that BRITNEY SPEARS' father JAMIE has won full temporary custody over the troubled pop star. The ruling means that the L.A. Superior Court found Britney unable to take care of herself or her finances, so Jamie was appointed her conservator, or guardian, until February 4, the date of the next hearing. The end of Friday's court session found Jamie in tears and mother LYNNE happy.
LYNNE and JAMIE SPEARS will be in court Friday afternoon to try and get legal control over their daughter, BRITNEY SPEARS. If the court declares that the troubled pop star is unable to take care of legal matters, they will appoint another individual, called a conservator, to do so. Lynne's conservatorship hearing is set for today at 1:30 at the Los Angeles Superior Court.

After an eventful night, Hollywood.tv captures BRITNEY's mom LYNNE and paparazzo pal ADNAN GHALIB leaving the UCLA Medical Center this morning. Britney has been placed on a 5150, which is a 72-hour hold, as she is evaluated and treated at the facility.
Despite many recent reports, BRITNEY SPEARS' mom LYNNE's upcoming book, Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, is not a parenting how-to, according to Thomas Nelson, Inc., the book's publisher.
A representative for publishing house THOMAS NELSON, INC. confirms to ET that the release of LYNNE SPEARS' parenting book "has been delayed up to a year." Lynne is mom to BRITNEY and JAMIE LYNN SPEARS.
It had been announced earlier that the book, Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, would be released around Mother's Day of next year.
ET has confirmed that BRITNEY SPEARS' mom LYNNE is writing a parenting book titled, Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World. The tome will likely be released around Mother's Day of next year.
It was nearly three weeks ago that Lynne and Britney reunited after being estranged since June. Lynne and Brit's little sister JAMIE LYNN flew from Louisiana to Los Angeles in early October to be with the embattled pop star just days after news broke that Britney had temporarily lost physical custody of her two sons.
