Britney Spears' mother cashes in with tell-all book - Tabloid Hell

Britney Spears' mother has told all about her daughter in a cash-in book deal.

Details have leaked from Lynne Spears' forthcoming autobiography, 'Through The Rain', that are set to draw a further wedge between the estranged pair.

They have not had contact since the singer split from husband Kevin Federline in 2006.

The Sun reports that in the book Spears Sr claims her daughter began drinking alcohol aged 13, was sexually active from 14 and began using illegal drugs at 15.

Lynne Spears apparently acknowledges some responsibility for her daughter's problems down the line.

The paper reports: "[Lynne Spears] tells how she regrets handing over control of Britney's career to managers and allowing her daughter to be promoted as a sex object in raunchy videos at such a young age."
