Britney's Grandfather Dishes The Dirt

Some brave soul fought their way through the gators to get an interview with Britney Spears's grandpappy June Austin. Apparently old June is the guy to talk to if you want the real low-down on what's going on in the family. For instance...according to June, Lynne Spears is not taking younger daughter Jamie Lynn's pregnancy very well.

"Lynne keeps Jamie Lynn hidden," June told the New York Daily News. "[Lynne is] in denial about the pregnancy. She thinks it's just going to go away, but it's not. It's going to get bigger and bigger."

That's homespun wisdom right there.

June was also asked about Britney being checked into the nuthouse.

"I don't know about Britney," June said. "I'm worried about her. She shouldn't go in the nuthouse. Sometimes you come out worse than you come in."

June appears to have some experience with nuthouses. Of course, in his day, they still beat people with rubber hoses, and if that didn't work, lobotomized them by jamming ice-picks in their eye sockets. So maybe he's not exactly an authority on the doings in modern-day mental health facilities?

The Daily News also asked June for his opinion of presidental nominee Barack Obama. The paper refused to print his actual quote, but only said "his views are consistent with many white Southern gentlemen of his generation." We can only imagine the colorful racist stuff the drunken toothless coot uttered by way of elaboration upon his disdain for Mr. Obama.
