Britney Spears' "brutally honest" memoir, which was set to be published in the fall, has been delayed due to "strongly worded legal letters" from A-listers who fear what the singer has written, according to sources. The book, which covers her most vulnerable moments, her childhood, her breakup with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her battle with her family over her conservatorship, was described as a "groundbreaking instant best-seller." Spears signed a $15 million deal to pen the book and worked with ghostwriter Sam Lansky to perfect it.
