Surprise! Lynne Spears' parenting book put on hold

| | Comments (6) |

This from MTV.com:

281x211.jpgOn the heels of the announcement that Britney Spears' 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant with her first child comes word that the parenting book due for release in the spring from the girls' mom, Lynne Spears, has been delayed. People magazine reports that the book has been put on indefinite hold by publisher Thomas Nelson, which puts out inspirational books and Bibles.

"The book is delayed indefinitely. It's delayed, not cancelled," a spokesperson told the magazine. The spokesperson said the book, which Publisher's Weekly had described as "Lynne Spears' personal story of raising high-profile children while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community," was actually put on hold last week, but declined to say whether the focus of the book will change in light of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy announcement, or if the decision was a result of the news about the latest scandal to rock the family.

In October, Spears and Thomas Nelson announced the deal for the book, which was slated to come out on Mother's Day under the title "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World." At the time, a publishing rep told Us that it would be a parenting book "that's going to have faith elements to it." A manuscript was expected by this month

I especially like the line  that reads: "raising high-profile children while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community."

What is that a new euphemism for trailer park?

Perhaps Mrs. Spears should consider writing a book on grand parenting.

Put that in your Bible belt and cinch it-but no too tight.

Why use a euphemism? If you must my favorite these days is "Fontucky".
