Last week, one hundred thirty very talented campers ranging in age from 11-15 attended Britney’s Camp for the Performing Arts she holds annually in Cape Cod. Many of Britney’s acting, singing, and dance coaches were there as well as her childhood dance partner, Brittany Hastings. Brittany taught the master hip-hop class. The Blair Witch Project filmmakers worked diligently all week to put together a documentary on the camp. The culminating video, done by the kids, proved that their teaching efforts were successful.

Steven Tyler’s daughter Chelsea gave a great performance on harmonica in the “Down Home Blues” number. Her dad was visiting the camp with his family, and later performed for the excited campers. He’s the best! It was a great week and hopefully a very inspiring one to everyone.

Life has slowed down somewhat for the Spears family. A routine does make it simple. This week Brit will be preparing for the MTV Video Music Awards and decorating her new apartment. The apartment will be a major project. Kelly Griffin, our friend and decorator from Louisiana is going to meet with Britney later this week. I’m sure Britney will be overwhelmed and excited shopping with Kelly around all the professional design studios in New York.

Lately I can’t get over how “creative” the press has been. But I see it in a positive light - times like these make me happy to know that Britney’s true fans love her because she’s a talented performer and a wonderful person, no matter what the press comes up with. In fact, she’s with me right now and wants to say hello…
 

Hey guys, I thought I’d steal the keyboard away from my momma to say what’s up! I had the best time at Camp this year – I got to spend time with the campers and even sing for them. The performance they put on was awesome! It’s always really cool to see people getting excited about the arts. It reminds me of why I always wanted to get into music and be a performer.

I just want to say to all my fans that I think you’re the greatest! You’re the reason that I’m here and I will always remember that. Have a great last few days of summer!

-Lynne (and Britney!)
