That court-battle for control over Britney? It's been settled: her dad - Jamie Spears - was granted control over Britney, her assets and her affairs.
According to the Guardian:
A Los Angeles court has placed Britney Spears and her estate under the
temporary control of her father while she remains under round-the-clock
supervision in a psychiatric hospital.
Jamie Spears petitioned for
the emergency "temporary conservatorship" order yesterday, and was
given control over his daughter's financial assets including her
Hollywood home and credit cards. The order is granted by a court when a
person is deemed unable to look after themselves or manage their own
affairs...
Mr Spears has the power to bar people from visiting her in hospital,
will have sole control over her medical records, and can cancel any
contracts she may have signed. He was also named conservator of Spears
herself after Commissioner Reva Goetz told a packed courtroom that
conservatorship over her person was necessary and appropriate: "It is
in the best interests of the conservatee to have conservatorship over
her person."
The ruling follows a conflict between Britney's parents and her
former manager, Sam Lufti - reported HERE - over who should take responsibility for her. The
court issued a 22-day restraining order against Lufti.
Britney certainly seems to need someone to look after her, but do her parents really have her best interests at heart? Let's hope this works out for the best.
