Britney Spears paid tribute to her mother Lynne's parenting skills in a special Thanksgiving letter on her website, recalling how she would look sexy in her black dress as she went to church.
The Toxic singer says she is proud her mum wasn't "corrupted" into becoming a domestic slave, like the other women in her small neighbourhood of Kentwood, Louisiana.
She wrote: "Living in a small town can make it so easy to just follow the mould and go along with how everyone else does things. But my mom managed to set her own course and not get corrupted into doing things like all the other women.
"She would go to church every week like everyone else, but she always looked sexy in her black dress and she was the one all the other women would gossip about."
