Jamie Lynn Spears may have portrayed a nice young girl on Zoey 101, but her older sister, Britney Spears, has revealed that she was quite unlike her character.
Britney’s new memoir, The Woman In Me, recounts moments when Jamie Lynn was not the sweet little sister Britney was expecting her to be.
“My little sister — well, when I tell you was a total b—, I’m not exaggerating,” the pop star wrote in her book. “It was clear that girl ruled the roost. Meanwhile, it was like I was a ghost child. I can remember walking into the room and feeling like no one even saw me. Jamie Lynn only saw the TV.”
To provide an example of Jamie Lynn’s attitude, Britney wrote about her sister “spew[ing] these hateful words” and asked their mother, Lynne Spears, if she was “going to let this little witch talk to [her] like that?...

Jamie Lynn Spears is picking up where she left off. In her new "Zoey 102" movie - a nostalgic follow-up to the "Zoey 101" TV series Spears left in 2007 - her two daughters made a special appearance at Pacific Coast Academy. Spears said the joint cameo with 5-year-old Ivey and 15-year-old Maddie was "a really proud moment for me as a mom" in a July 20 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
"Having my two girls be a part of this film and get to make their little debut cameo, if you will, it was so special because they got to do it together," she said. "[Maddie] was like, 'Mom, I can't believe that they're all here because this is the movie that you've created.' And that made me feel really proud as a mom that she recognized that and saw you can do big things."
The girls's short but sweet appearance sees them sitting on a bench,...

Jamie Lynn Spears teared up as she discussed where she stands with sister Britney today.
The sisters didn’t have the best relationship amid issues surrounding Britney’s 13-year conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021.
Britney took to Instagram last month to say that she’d visited her younger sister on set. However, a source told Variety that the pair haven’t actually patched things up.

Their feud became worse than ever in January 2022 after Jamie Lynn spoke out about her family life in her memoir, Things I Should Have Said. This led to Britney slamming her sister, so, unsurprisingly, things have been pretty difficult for Jamie Lynn over the past year or so.

The day before I interview Jamie Lynn Spears, her older sister, Britney, takes to Instagram to reveal that the siblings recently spent time together.
“It was nice to visit my sister on set last week !!!,” Spears writes in a message accompanying a video montage of herself on vacation with husband Sam Asghari and manager Cade Hudson. “I’ve missed you guys so much !!! Loyal girls stay home but it’s so nice to visit family.”
This generates an avalanche of celebrity-news headlines because the two have been estranged since Britney, now 41, accused Jamie Lynn, 32, of perpetuating her family’s conservatorship against her for nearly 14 years, leaving Britney unable to make decisions for herself. But a source close to Jamie Lynn says that the sisters have not patched things up.
Britney’s post came less than 24 hours after Paramount+ released the first trailer for “Zoey 102,” Jamie Lynn’s long-in-the-making film...

Pull out your magnifying glass and get ready to do some sleuthing, because Freeform's new mystery series is about to take you on a wild ride.
"The Watchful Eye" premiered on Jan. 30, and it follows Elena Santos (played by Mariel Molino), a young woman with a mysterious past who weasels her way into working as a live-in nanny for an affluent family at The Greybourne in Manhattan.

A version of this story about the “Women Talking” first appeared in the Guilds & Critics Awards / Documentaries issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
“Women Talking,” author Miriam Toews’s 2018 novel, was inspired by a serial sexual assault case in Bolivia, where more than a hundred Mennonite women were tranquilized and raped by men in their secluded community. Hearing the gruesome real-life details, it’s easy to imagine the kind of true-crime sensation that the story might have made in lurid docuseries form.
But that was not what motivated actor-turned-director Sarah Polley (Away From Her) to helm this movie adaptation. “It’s not a film that’s detailing graphic sexual assault,” Polley said. “It’s about the impact on the women who have survived and how they want to move forward. It felt to me more like an epic story of hope, almost like a fable. The conversation in the film...

“It was shocking,” says actress Judith Ivey about the true story of widespread sexual assault that underlies the film “Women Talking.” “You just think that doesn’t happen, and that it couldn’t happen … and that we all have a certain amount of control and power over our lives that this wasn’t possible. But indeed, not only was it possible, but in that particular cloistered community, it was probable.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Ivey above.
Based on Miriam Toews‘s novel, which was inspired by a real incident in a Mennonite community, “Women Talking” tells the story of a group of women who must decide their next course of action after they learn they have been systematically drugged and abused by the men of their colony. As part of her preparation, Ivey attended a virtual Mennonite church service. “Their tenets really are pacifism, as is talked about in the film.

Britney Spears‘ sister Jamie Lynn Spears is stunning in a skimpy bikini as she shows off her figure.
The former Nickelodeon star and Netflix favorite made her fans wait in a swipe for it over Labor Day weekend – posting for her 2.2 million Instagram followers, Jamie Lynn shared a family-centric snap. Still, she included the swimwear action, too.
Jamie Lynn has been making plenty of 2022 headlines as she continues to be shaded by pop princess sister Britney, although things are kept very separate on Jamie Lynn’s social media. She rarely, if ever, mentions her Grammy-winner sister.
These photos came via a massive gallery and opened with a family and friends shot that included Jamie Lynn, husband Jamie Watson, plus daughters Maddie and Ivey. Everyone was smiling and posing from an outdoor path while backed by tall trees.

With Women Talking, Sarah Polley adapts Miriam Toews’ 2018 novel in a way that feels like a response to the last several years. The book, which concerns women in a Mennonite colony deciding whether to leave their community and the men who spent years assaulting and raping them, published after the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and the formation of the #MeToo movement, which made its subject and themes reverberate around topics that were, and still are, at the forefront of media and public discourse. Polley leans hard into the bigger ideas, making her film less of a chamber piece and more a fumbled commentary on where we are now. Schematic in its intent and pedestrian in its execution, Women Talking is a well-meaning drama that’s obvious in all the wrong ways.
