Has Britney Lost it Again?

I really hate to say anything bad about Britney Spears. Well okay, maybe not anything but generally, I try to take it easy on the girl. She’s been through a lot of crap, has never had a life of her own, and has worked hard to rebuild herself. I realize she’s done all of this while rolling around in her millions of dollars but actually, she hasn’t been doing that lately. And she may not be for some time. And this post isn’t saying anything bad about Britney either. Except that I do feel badly for her and think that people should start to see she’s not all that crazy anymore.
Britney Spears had a court hearing on January 22 to decide whether or not her father, Jamie Spears, should remain her conservator. Unfortunately for Brit, the courts sided with her dad and Britney remains under his control. And from the sounds of it, she didn’t get a fair fight either. From National Enquirer,
“Britney Spears “completely broke down” in the car on the way home from her Jan. 22 court date after realizing she may never get out from under her father Jamie’s conservatorship, The ENQUIRER has learned.
And when the father and daughter arrived back at Britney’s home, she “tore into him like a mad woman,” divulged a source.
“Her bodyguards had to physically restrain her from hitting Jamie. It was a terrible scene. Britney was totally out of control.”
The 28-year-old performer had been hoping to speak to the judge privately during the hearing, which was closed to the public, but her request was denied. Instead, she listened as her doctors gave Jamie credit for her progress over the past year.
They also told the court Britney still wasn’t capable of handling her own medical care or personal life.
On the way home, Britney called ex-husband Kevin Federline and told him “she wants to flee the country with the boys,” divulged the source.
Fearing she may try to run, Jamie has hired two more bodyguards. One is posted outside Britney’s bedroom door 24 hours a day, according to the source.
Britney is so angry,she has tried to break several pieces of surveillance equipment used to monitor her.
“Her family is very worried because Britney hasn’t acted out like this in a long time,” added the source.
“They fear she will do something desperate.”
Okay, can we give the girl a break? Just a tiny one. Yes, I give Jamie Spears all the credit in the world for helping – helping- Britney get back on her feet. But no one can tell me that it didn’t take a hell of a lot of hard work on her part to make it happen. I can understand her ripping into her dad. I’d be pretty upset too if someone tried to make it clear 3 years after the fact that I couldn’t handle myself when I knew much, much better.
And as for the part about hitting him? Well, let’s just hope that’s not true. I mean, I can’t say I wouldn’t have hit him myself but it definitely doesn’t make her case any stronger. The same goes with taking off with the kids. Let’s hope that Britney really does know better at this point. That would look incredibly bad and I’m not sure, but I think she’s even capable of having charges pressed against her if she were to do something like that. Again, let’s hope that she knows better and that it’s not true. Or, in the very least, that it was something that was said in the heat of the moment and that Britney would never do it.

I hate to lump Michael Lohan’s name in with Jamie Spears when it comes to celebrity dads but sadly, when people hear the word ‘conservatorship’, they automatically think of Britney Spears and the legal hold that her dad still has over her. Unfortunately for Michael Lohan, that was a case of a father actually seeing that his daughter was in trouble and wanting to help her. It’s unfortunate for the ultimate schmuck of dads because Michael is now seeking to gain the same type of conservatorship over his daughter Lindsay. Of course, this enraged Lindsay and she went straight to Twitter to state her case. From Gossip Center,
Well, hallelujah! Britney Spears may have an extra bounce in her booty as her dad, Jamie Spears has deemed that she might be all better and ready to take care of herself again! Gives a whole new meaning to her hit cover of My Perogative! I’m thrilled about this news and it could be as soon as before Christmas that Britney will take the reins of her own life back in her hands! What makes me even happier about it is that it’s a decision that seems to have been made by Jamie. It sort of renews my respect in him a little bit. The current order needs to stay in effect until the end of her tour but after that, it may just be a matter of one small court appearance! From the Daily Blabber,
Well, it seems that Britney’s breakdown constituted more than just simply her shaving her head, locking herself into a bathroom with her son and getting mixed up in the wrong sort of people. While she was making all of these mistakes, there’s one more that until very recently has been buried - Britney got topless and allowed someone (probably that rotten Adnan Ghalib or Sam Lutfi) to take pictures of her while she did it! The photos were taken while she was making her video of ‘Gimme More‘ and they are now available to the public.
Earlier this month it was reported that Jamie Spears, conservator of his daughter and her estate, applied for a permanent restraining order against Sam Lutfi, the man who sent Britney’s life all to hell. Jamie didn’t get the permanent order that he was after but what he got is pretty good. Sam Lufti has been ordered to stay away from Britney and pretty much the air around her and the air around everything near her or that she owns, for a total of 3 years. I’m sure that after that time another order will be applied for but this works for the time being. Oh, and Lufti’s lawyer seems to think that they have some chance of getting out of it. From Contact Music,
Britney Spears just can’t cut a break. No matter how hard she works or how many improvements she’s made in her personal life, it seems that there’s always someone out to trash her. This time, it comes from two different directions. One, is not surprising and comes from the sister of Sam Lufti, who Britney currently has a restraining order against. Apparently, she’s testifying in court that Britney doesn’t actually want to stop contact with Sam and
Nicks who is the iconic singer and face of the band, Fleetwood Mac, has just public released some pretty harsh statements regarding Britney Spears and her ‘easy’ rise to fame. From Contact Music,
Something weird happened to me this morning. I woke up, looked out the window and there was snow on the ground. Then I went to my computer, opened my browser and the first headline staring me in the face said something along the lines of ‘Sam Lufti is Trying to Ruin Britney’s Life.’ Just about the time I started wondering if they had gotten her out of the bathroom yet with her son, I looked down at my computer clock and realized that the date was actually 2009 - not 2008! Huh, coulda fooled me. Here we are, one year later and Sam Lufti is still trying to get something from Britney. Honestly, I guess this shows that some mistakes just take a very, very long time to go away. This time what does Sam want? His good name back! And he’s ready to sue to do it! From the Daily Blabber,
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be Britney Spears. This is a girl who has been in the spotlight her entire life and having made money from that spotlight, has been surrounded by people that want something from her. Imagine what it must be like to separate those who only want to use you for your money and fame from those who only want you to be happy. In Britney’s case, I don’t know that there’s too many people standing on the latter side of that equation.
There’s something that really bothers me about Jamie Spears and that’s the fact that he is constantly cashing in on the fact that he is helping his daughter, Britney Spears, get better. First he gets paid so much money that he’s able to quit his full-time job. He got paid all of that money to take care of his daughter. Now the courts have awarded him $50,000 in back pay. For taking care of his daughter. Does no one else really see anything wrong with this? I will be the first to give Jamie Spears all the credit in the world for being such an integral part of Britney’s recovery but she was very sick and she is his daughter! If she didn’t have more money than God and wasn’t famous, I’d like to believe that he still would have helped her and not expected a big fat paycheck in return. From Celebitchy,
