Lynne Spears says every mother makes mistakes but she has no regrets about letting her daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn pursue their dreams of stardom.

“I think you have to let them follow their dreams. I think it would be worse in the end if you didn’t,” Spears, 53, told People magazine in an interview marking the publication next week of her much-anticipated memoir.

As Britney’s star rose, Spears said she felt she was losing control over both her daughter and how she was portrayed.

“I let other people talk me out of things that I felt a gut instinct about,” she told People.

The memoir “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,” is published by Thomas Nelson, a Christian publisher of bibles and inspirational books.

It chronicles Spears’ family during the phenomenal rise of Britney Spears in the late 199Os and her highly publicized meltdown.

Originally planned for a May release, the book was postponed in January after Jamie Lynn Spears, then 16, announced in a celebrity magazine that she was pregnant.

In excerpts from the memoir to be published in Friday’s People magazine, Spears rejected criticism that she was a pushy stage mother or had sought to profit from the careers of her daughters.

A Superior Court commissioner gave Britney Spears’ father the power to fire the singer’s business manager, according to documents released Friday.

Commissioner Reva Goetz also ordered Howard Grossman to turn over “all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears” to James Spears, who is the court-appointed conservator of his daughter and her estate.

The order came the day after Goetz held an emergency closed-door hearing on a motion brought by the singer’s father and lawyer Andrew Wallet, who is part of the conservatorship.

Spears’ parents said they feared their daughter’s life was at risk after she was released from a hospital psychiatric ward on Wednesday.
