Lynne's Corner
Update: "Kicking Off The
Holidays"
I hope your Thanksgiving was as nice
and peaceful as ours was. As usual, we ate too much. Yesterday was Britney’s
21st birthday. Birthdays always make me a bit melancholy. I always remember
times past. I haven’t had a perfect life, but I have more than my share of
great memories, especially when it comes to my children.
Britney and I went to a private island last week. It was beautiful and so
serene. The island was accessible only by boat. The flowers and greenery were
wild and growing naturally on the island. We ate only delicious and healthy
foods. A week of sun, sailing, massages, and yoga, helped us forget about all
the distractions we endure in our hectic lives every day.
Britney went to her first Louisiana State University football game last
weekend. Laura Lynne is a dancer at half-time for the Golden Girls. Britney
was allowed to sit in the press box. Needless to say, she was able to see the
game and half-time show pretty well. It was so exciting to see Laura Lynne on
the big screen during the half-time show.
Britney hooked up with Laura Lynne and her friends to celebrate the victory
over the rival team Ole Miss. Big Rob had his hands full that night. I was
glad to come home to my nice comfortable bed.
We started our Christmas decorating yesterday. I love all the preparation for
Christmas, even the shopping. I begin early, although I like to leave a few
gifts to buy at the last minute. I enjoy being among the Christmas crowds and
feeling the spirit. Although some of those last minute shoppers can be pretty
“testy.”
Jamie Lynn goes back to school tomorrow. I dread getting her up at the early
hours again. She has been spoiled by the Thanksgiving break. Oh well, just a
few more weeks and it will be Christmas holiday break. Take care.

BMG Records Now Owns Zombo Records
now the proud
owner of Zomba Records but the deal was not one they are happy about.
BMG was
strategically cornered into buying out the 80% stock of Zomba that they didn't
own based on a pricing formula set up in 1991.
Zomba owner
Clive Calder exercised his option which forced BMG buying out his company at a
price far higher than the company worth of today. Had BMG not agreed to the
option it is believed Calder would have had a reverse option to buy back their
20% for $1.
The remaining
80% stake in Zomba is reported to have cost BMG $2.74 billion. Industry
insiders suggest that on current market value it is with around $1.2 billion.
The deal gives
BMG ownership of the recorded works of Britney Spears, NSYNC and Backstreet
Boys. It comes the same day Backstreet Boys have taken action against Calder
saying he had held them hostage from recording.
Last week BMG
purchased J Records from founder Clive Davies. As part of the deal, Davies
will head up BMG and BMG get Alicia Keys and Rod Stewart.
The Davies
deal is a victory for the man who was dumped as head of Arista records just
two years ago for being too old. In his new position his old company Arista
becomes part of his portfolio. The position will not give Clive an opportunity
for retribution. It is understood that all his conspirators have already left
the company.

Spears Pulls Out Of Restaurant Business
Pop princess Britney Spears has severed all ties to her New York
restaurant, Nyla, saying that it suffers from mismanagement.
Spears' decision comes amid an involuntary petition of bankruptcy that was
recently filed against Pinky Enterprises LLC, which runs Spears' restaurant.
In the petition, three vendors, Dairyland USA Corp., Ocean Clear Inc. and Sam
Tell & Son Inc., allege they have not been paid in excess of $25,000. The
petition was filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court last month.
In a written statement, Spears says she had no involvement in the day-to-day
operations of the restaurant, which opened in June of last year.
