Lynne Spears is taking issue with how people slammed her daughter, Jamie Lynn, for her pregnancy and are celebrating the pregnancy of Sarah Palin’s teen daughter Bristol Palin.

“It’s a totally different reaction. It’s as if [Sarah Palin] became celebrated. I mean, the mother, Palin, was celebrated for this,” Lynne tells Newsweek. “Every woman in the world has applauded her strength and her convictions and poor little old Jamie Lynn–you saw how she was crucified. Everybody did, firsthand … I just feel like it’s been a very hypocritical situation.”

Lynne Spears went on the Today Show this morning to discuss her memoir Through the Storm and talk about parenting.

In her new tell-all book, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, Lynne Spears reveals that Britney did not lose her virginity to Justin Timberlake. Instead, the popstar gave up her chastity to a high school football player at the tender age of 14.

So, you see this dramatic cover and you’re probably wondering what the hell happened during Jamie Lynn Spears’ delivery.

According to Star Magazine, “there was a last minute complication…Jamie Lynn was suffering from toxemia, a condition caused by high blood pressure that can be extremely dangerous, fro both mother and baby.   Doctors urged an immediate C-section - but shockingly, Jamie Lynn refused.”

Britney was by her side and urged Jamie Lynn to have a c-section - but she wouldn’t listen.

Star Magazine continues, “Not only was the cord short, but it was wrapped around the baby’s neck,” said a source.

And then to top things off baby-daddy Casey fainted!

But, don’t worry, mother, child and Casey are doing just fine now.

Pasetsky’s Cover Critique

Wow! Sounds scary.

Angie was rushed to the hospital, according to Richard Spencer’s Life & Style.

Looks like CoverAwards has some fans at Life & Style.On Monday, I suggested that one of the celebrity weeklies would be well-served by creating a cover that “humanizes” Angelina.

And this one certainly does that.

The picture is of Angelina is very strong.  Angie looks hurt, sad and makes me want to find out what happened to her.

On another note, doesn’t Brad look ridiculous.  Why would someone like Brad Pitt have to “scramble” to get Angie medical care.  He sounds like a bumbling fool.

On to the insets, “What Mom [Lynne Spears] Really Thinks.”

This line is weak and would not get me to buy the magazine.  Plus, the word “really” should be permanently banned.

And more babies for J. Lo.  Yawn!  And the UPC code is cutting off J. Lo at the neck.  Bad design!

Bottom Line: A close to rate-base sale for Life & Style — close.
