We’re trying to guess what the exact moment was that Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears, appeared to go from overzealous, perfectionist stage mom to arguably an interfering, traitor of a grandmother.
Was it the first time Britney promised a change of image only to return to her cut-off jean shorts with the front pocket lining hanging out below the shorts? Was it when Britney’s reality show with her now ex-husband Kevin Federline came out, and thus shattered all of Lynne’s years of shaping and moulding her into an A-list princess into a million pieces? Or, was it when Britney flashed the world, and all those years of Lynne urging her daughter to wear clean underwear in case she gets in an accident became horrifically obsolete? Hmmm… it’s a toughy.
Regardless, Britney’s relationship with her mom appears to be rapidly crashing from the unstable, dysfunctional foundation upon which it was built. What would prompt us to make such a shocking statement, you ask? Well, mostly it’s because of recent footage of Britney delivering her mother legal-looking papers, and Mrs. Spears Sr. does not react jubilantly to the documents. Whatever the papers are we're sure that the incident will provide lots of writing material for Britney's next album. Although, by the time that comes out we'll all be driving flying cars and taking weekend trips to the moon.
Britney Spears, pop singing sensation turned, um, well, we’re not quite sure what she’s turned into, arrived yesterday at the movie set of where Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, was filming and delivered some papers to her mother. There are highly detailed reports out there that break down the video into pieces and somehow seem to find all sorts of hidden drama and malice, but our focus is inevitably drawn to Britney digging out her wedgie from her bum from the infamous cut-off jean shorts. That alone is good old-fashioned entertainment.
So, what exactly are the mystery papers? It has been confirmed that they are papers from a lawyer, and the entertainment world is all a-buzz with the idea that Miss Britney served her mama with a restraining order. Putting aside the fact that one cannot deliver a restraining order to the person they’ve just legally distanced themselves from, these rumours stem from reports that Britney and mommy dearest have been estranged since before Britney went into rehab. Other rumours suggest Lynne has sided with Brit’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in trying to prove that Britney is not a suitable parent. Of course, Britney is doing a bang-up job of proving that all on her own.
Alas, we may never know what the papers hold. We must content ourselves with the fact that Lynne Spears looks like she could slap the Southern out of her little angel pie after reviewing the papers. Looks like Britney’s fighting back. She’s not that innocent, people. Heaven knows we all long for the days when she was.
