Britney's mom to write book

Lynne Spears is planning to write a book about raising her family in the glare of the media spotlight.

The memoir could be a gossip lover's delight, providing maternal insight into the life of her daughter Britney, who has gone from child star to tabloid train wreck.

"Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" is set for release May 11, which is Mother's Day, said Curt Harding, a spokesman for Thomas Nelson Inc., a Christian book publisher.

"That is all we're releasing at this time," Harding said Friday. "I have not seen a manuscript so I cannot comment on the content."
