'Just Figuring Things Out'

Jun 14, 12:04 PM

Current Headlines: Lynne Spears says her daughter Britney, whose public meltdown included shearing off her own locks, is "just figuring things out."

"It's sad that the whole world had to watch her make mistakes that all of us have made at one time or another," Spears is quoted in Us Weekly.

The 25-year-old pop star completed a month-long stay at a luxury Malibu, Calif., rehab facility in March after attracting an onslaught of attention for wild behavior that included partying with Paris Hilton and shaving her own head.

Britney Spears, who reached a divorce settlement with Kevin Federline in March, recently posted a message on her Web site saying she had been acting like a "bad kid running around with ADD (attention deficit disorder)."

The singer filed for divorce from Federline in November, just two months after giving birth to the couple's second child, Jayden James.

"Everything is going to be good," says Lynne Spears, the mother of three children with ex-husband Jamie Spears. "Everything is going to be really good. I can see her life picking up and it's just going to hold great things for her. Britney Jean Spears is the sweetest and the most sensitive and loving of all my children. She's just figuring things out."
