Did she or didn't she? The question of whether Lynne Spears, mother of Britney and Jamie Lynn, opened up to a reporter from Life & Style for the magazine's latest issue is in contention, with the magazine standing by its story, and the Spears' family rep calling the article "a lie."
The confusion started when Life & Style trumpeted an exclusive interview with the pop starlets' parent, in a cover line that read, "What Mom Really Thinks." The story claimed that Spears dished about both daughters, saying she was disappointed that Jamie Lynn had gotten pregnant at a young age, and that she was praying for her oldest daughter.
"I pray for Britney every day to be a better mother," the publication quotes Spears as saying. "She's gone through a lot of trauma, but she seems to be coming out of it � and it's showing in her relationship with the boys. They're really bonding." The only trouble is, Spears claims the conversation never took place.
Life & Style said that the interview occurred on Sunday, when both the magazine's reporter and Spears were flying from Los Angeles to New Orleans on Delta. A spokesperson for the magazine said the interview was a "long conversation that Lynne knowingly had with a Life & Style reporter, who identified themselves as such, aboard the flight."

Spears' rep Lou Taylor, however, disputes that the reporter identified himself at all, or that he sat next to Spears long enough to even have a conversation. Whether he identified himself or not, Spears' rep said that she suspected he was a reporter and asked the flight attendant to make him move because "he was so obnoxious." "She knew he was a plant," Taylor told MTV News. "He did not talk to her, and we have four people sitting next to her to attest to that."
No tape exists of the interaction, and it was unknown at press time whether the reporter took notes.
"When Lynne Spears is ready to give an interview," Taylor said, "I can assure you it will be a true account without speculation as to whether or not she participated."
Despite this, Life & Style said it stands by its reporting.
