BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (updated:

From my buddy Julie comes this little bit of news:

Lynne Spears' book delayed indefinitely

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.

You just can't make this stuff up.

UPDATE: Maggie just hit a homerun in the comments.

I saw that story earlier and thought "who in the hell would read an advice book about parenting from a woman who has two daughters that are complete train wrecks?" Unless, of course, it was done in a sincere effort to learn what not to do.

The trash doesn't fall far from the trailer park.

Good news: Jamie Lynn is keeping the baby.

Bad news: Aunt Britney will be around to help.

Maybe it was written as humor, or possibly science fiction.

I'm actually thinking I might like to read this one... maybe if it were entitled, "How to seriously screw up your famous kids!"

On the other hand, I'm thinking Jamie Lynne may actually be a better mother than her older sister. We'll see!

I think something broke in my brain.

I heard this on the way home and I almost drove off the road.

You know, it's funny how ironic irony can be sometimes.

With a track record like hers, I smell a reality series not far behind!!! I echo Kelly's sentiment...I think the younger sister will have her head on straight.

"Foreword by Kathy Hilton" and a reality series.

*snort*

I was so disappointed to hear this. Now I can't get this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. How will my granddaughter ever become a famous teenage skank who will grow up to flash her cooter in a drunken stupor to the whole of the western world without the wisdom of Lynne Spears?

Dammit...there goes my retirement!

Lynne Spears writing a parenting book is like John Edwards guest-blogging at Overlawyered.com.

Oh rriiiigggghhhttt...

I was just trying to work out how even Britney could have a sixteen-year-old daughter.

Ah. Two nations divided by a common language, as the fellow said.
