Five Tragic Tell-Alls From Celebrity Kin Looking To Cash In

Molly Friedman · 06/12/08 11:45AM

Time to mark your calendars: Lynne Spears, mother of Britney and Jamie Lynn, has an official September release date for her memoir about raising two of the world’s most tabloid-friendly children, Through The Storm: A Real Story About Family And Fame In A Tabloid World.
