GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Lorilee Craker has a view of Britney Spears that many people don't: through the eyes of the pop star's mother.The Michigan-based freelance writer has been working with Lynne Spears since March on a book chronicling Spears' experiences raising a family in the glare of the media spotlight.'Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World' is set for release May 11, which is Mother's Day, Curt Harding, a spokesman for Thomas Nelson Inc., a Christian book publisher, said last week.The book comes at a time when the 25-year-old pop star has been ridiculed in the tabloids over her shaved head, plummeting music career, rehab stay and custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.The collaboration isn't a celebrity tell-all, Craker says.'One thing I do want to make clear is that she's not a stage mom,' Craker told The Grand Rapids Press. 'People are so accusatory toward her and so judgmental of her, and it just drives me crazy because I know the real her.'Britney and her mother recently reconciled after a period of estrangement, Craker said.According to court documents released Tuesday, Spears filed a request Friday to 'terminate or modify' a court order requiring her to undergo random drug testing in her custody battle with Federline.The request came the same day as Spears and Federline appeared in a Los Angeles court for a closed-door hearing in the custody case.Spears has also asked the court to reinstate her overnight visits with her two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.Copyright 2007 Associated Press.
