As I mentioned yesterday, the Spears family, who wanted fans to have the first look, is auctioning off an autographed 4x5 ft. oil painting by Daniel Maltzman on eBay with proceeds benefiting The Promises Foundation, an organization that provides behavioral health services to low-income women and their children.In a written statement verifying it's authenticity, dad Jamie Spears says: quote:"I hereby verify that the portrait of my daughter, Britney, has been in our home since it was completed by the Daniel Maltzman Studio. I also authenticate that it is Britney's original signature on the painting.Sincerely,Jamie Spears"The bidding starts at a pricey $10,000. Happy bidding!
Britney Spears' 17-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, arrived in LA on Wednesday, September 10, along with her nearly 3-month-old daughter Maddie Briann, and headed straight to Britney's house. Britney's former husband Kevin Federline was at Britney's house when Jamie Lynn arrived; he had come to pick up the toddlers, (b. September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (b. September 12, 2006), after a visitation, and perhaps help Britney plan their birthday party.
According to x17, Kevin and Britney were inside the house alone for nearly 45 minutes. Meanwhile, Britney took part in a photo shoot by French born fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier at her Bel Air residence earlier on Wednesday. It is likely the 26-year-old pop star, who has made a dramatic comeback from a tail spinning lifestyle, will feature on the cover of a magazine. Britney recently told OK! magazine that her new album will be released by late December.

After writing four songs for Spears' Blackout, Hilson developed a nickname for Britney: "One-Take Jake." "With Britney, I need to get as much of any song done as I can [before she enters the studio]," says Hilson. "She likes to record quickly, partly because she doesn't like to stand up for too long."Source: Rolling Stone
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Reports of Britney Spears appearing on an upcoming issue of Vogue have been greatly exaggerated.In fact, it ain't happenin' at all!So what gives? The confusion began this morning when gossiper Liz Smith reported that "Vogue's celebrated Patrick Demarchelier has come to the U.S. from London to photograph Britney Spears."Sure he shoots for Vogue, but Spears must be posing for another magazine, a source tells me.Spears' first and only appearance on a Vogue cover was back in November 2001 for an issue dedicated to American fashion (it hit stands just weeks after Sept. 11). The issue was a flop, according to the source.Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour "will never put her on the cover again," the source says. "She's just not a Vogue kind of girl."No matter because Ms. Spears is still a hot commodity. And no doubt there are plenty of other editors doing backflips and more to get the comeback pop princess on their covers.See ya on the newstand, Brit!Source: E! Online

The following italicized article is from www.popsugar.com:Britney Spears was back to work yesterday posing at a shoot with Vogue photographer Patrick Demarchelier in Beverly Hills after which she rewarded herself with dinner at Magnolia. If the pictures end up in the magazine, it should line up with the rumored December release of Britney's star-studded new album. That will make it almost a year since the worst of her breakdown — thankfully she has come so far and the biggest headlines about the singer are about her VMA wins and planning a joint birthday bash for her boys who were born two days apart in September. Even the press about Lynne Spears's controversial revealing new book has become more positive.Source: Pop Sugar

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:Lynne Spears says that even knowing what she knows now, she would still let her daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn pursue stardom. "I think you have to let them follow their dreams," she says in a new interview with PEOPLE. "I think it would be worse in the end if you didn't." But she does express regrets about not listening to her "gut" at times: "Was I the perfect mom? No." In an exclusive excerpt from her new memoir, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, Lynne, 53, details the highs – and lows – of her family's journey from Kentwood, La., to the harsh international spotlight. "Every mother makes mistakes," she writes, "and I'm no different.""I wanted the truth out in my own words for myself and my family," she tells PEOPLE of writing the book, which chronicles Britney's highly publicized troubles and Jamie Lynn's pregnancy at 16. The latter, says Lynne, "was probably the hardest time in my life." What do her kids – Britney, 26, Jamie Lynn, 17, and Bryan, 31 – think of the book? She says Britney and Bryan have yet to read it, but "Jamie Lynn loved the book. I started to cry because I told her, 'I wanted so much for you to like it.' And she got up and kissed me on the cheek and said, 'Mama, thank you so much.'" Lynne's once-troubled relationship with Britney "has undergone tremendous healing," she says. "We are back to four or five phone calls a day." These days Lynne is also a doting "Me Maw" to her grandsons Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, and granddaughter Maddie Briann, 2 months. Of Britney's boys, she says, "They are the cutest! The biggest personalities you've ever seen. Preston is the older brother and he's protective, but Jayden is tough as nails." For more on this story, including Lynne's memories of Britney's early career and her hopes for Jamie Lynn's wedding, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday Source: People
