Happy Wednesday! It’s gossip-magazine day, gossip-magazine day!

US Weekly has an exclusive interview with Britney Spears’s mother about the frequent-bum-flasher’s troubles.

"You go into a time in your life with the world watching and you are just trying to figure yourself out," Lynne Spears told US in an exclusive interview that is featured in the latest issue of the magazine. "It’s sad that the whole world had to watch her make mistakes that all of us have made at one time or another."

Moms and "sources" also talked a bit about the family’s post-rehab rift.

"She decided that she had to cut out everyone who was using her, and that included her parents," says a source of Spears, 26.

The estrangement was especially hard on the pop star’s mother.

"Lynne was like Britney’s best friend, so when Britney started partying and her mom tried to control her, she got mad," a family source explains.

Too bad the interview was too late to have her comment on rumors that K-Fed is adding to Britney’s step-brood. 

We’d love to hear Lynn’s take on that!

Dina Lohan thinks we’re all stupid. As if we didn’t already know, Lindsay Lohan learned to lie from her mother. Here’s more:

DINA Lohan needs to make up her mind – or at least start re-reading the interviews she gives. Fame-crazed Mama Lohan recently told Us Weekly, "I’ve read all these things, like, I said I’m the white Oprah. I’ve never said that in my entire life! It’s completely ridiculous." Really? In an Aug. 10, 2006, interview with Star magazine, she told reporter David Caplan, "I love to talk. Lindsay [ Lohan]’s friends call me ’The White Oprah’ because they all come to me with their problems." Caplan, who’s since left the weekly for VH1, tells us he quoted Dina accurately.
