    Brits' father is the only one who isn't financially supported by her in this ordeal. and perhaps he is the best one to take control. I would pay to hear who her lawyers want as a conservator I doubt there will be any changes at all. I think this is the best thing I think he is thinking of her and only her in this matter and he will take care of his daughter and make sure that her finances are not hurt or naything else fo rthat matter. I would think the judge is going to see this and keep things exactly the way they are.

    why does her dad want to extend it….

    THIS GIRL IS CONSIDERED "GRAVELY DISABLED"…MEANING CONSIDERED UNABLE TO DO BASIC THINGS LIKE THE ACQUISION OF FOOD…AND NEEDS SUPERVISION TO LIGHT A CIGARETTE! AT WHAT POINT DOES MAKING FUN OF HER BECOME CRUEL? EVEN FOR US?

    Biggest Brit fan ever..but i really do think that her dad is really trying his best to take care of Britney. She should trust his judgement. He doesn't want brits money…Lynn on the other hand…

    I would like to think her parents have her best interest in mind. If it were all about the money, they wouldn't be sticking around to take care of her. Her lawyers are probably there for the dough. Brit needs help. She's a loon!

    Go Brit's parents!!!

    These are the same lawyers (Troupe and Troupe) that were planning to dump Britney as a client only a few weeks ago. Hmmm…..interesting. Let's hope this law firm (who's being instigated by Osama Lufti) loses! They need to leave her alone for a while to get her shit together. AND IMO, it should be the family to take care of her (and her business) until she's able to handle it for herself again.

    She is so arrested in her development!! Fighting your parents and hurting yourself to punish your parents is such 15-year-old behavoir. Grow up you retarded bitch!

  30. Dee says – reply to this


    30

    Why are they opposing it? It makes zero sense as to why they would do this???
    Let the parents do their thing, they obviously truly care about Britney's well being. They never talk to the paps. What do her lawyers care? $$$ so sad, let the girl get well again. Stay out of it!

  31. mom says – reply to this

    Re: mag

    How many child starts have been done wrong by their parents? The parents are not all angels.. In this case I think it is the best thing for everyone if the parents are eliminated from everything and only given the right to visit and nurture their child without being able to make any financial decisions for her..

  32. lonerange says – reply to this


    32

    yesenia, you're a tard along with anyone else who would disagree with her father helping and not her lawyers helping. do you understand the underlying motive of a lawyer as opposed to a father?

  33. forup420 says – reply to this


    33

    GO DAD, COM'ON PEOPLE BE REAL ! HER DAD ISN'T ABOUT TO DO ANYTHING TO HURT HIS LITTLE GIRL! EVERYONE IN LIFE MAKES MISTAKES. BOTTOM LINE BLOOD IS THICKER THEN WATER AND HE IS A DAD FIRST AND FORMOST, NOONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY OTHER WISE.

  34. Ravelle says – reply to this


    34

    I'm all for the Spears Parents to keep the conservatorship.
    All the stuff about Britney hating her dad……gotta remember, she has been bi-polar all her life, that doesn't spring up outta no where. I have experience with this…a step mother and a cousin. If Britney has so much hatred for him then why is she wanting him and her mother to be with her during these trying times. I think that she needs to be guarded from thes slime balls at Troupe & Troupe as well as Lufti. They need to be kicked outta here! Aren't they the same Law firm that said they didn't want to be in her corner about a month ago!
    Yeah, knowing Britney is out of her head, they are probably hoping noone will notice some major padding on their billing. AND LUFTI…OMG…please stop giving him coverage of any kind

    By the way hope all goes well in court today. Perez keep us post have a great day hon!

    i'd understand the dispute against her parents helping if in the past they hadn't shown how close of a family they are. But they have and it shows with their brother, sister and relatives. They are good southern folk and i hope this turns out for the best.

    If the judge is reading this please let her parents or someone who is trustworthy to handle her estate whilst she gets better if it means less stress that her health is at stake because of this ruling find someone that both parties can agree to. This girl needs to heal and fast before she ends up as another dead celebrity Anna Nicole Smiths 1 year anniversary this week friday of her death…comeon people work together as a team to get her well it can be done!!!! Hey Prez thanks for the update

    Go Daddy Spears! Sock it to those money-grubbing attorneys! Just weeks ago, they wanted to dump BS - now they want to keep her and dump her dad? Why?

    I'll tell you why - that law firm is making a freakin' bundle off BS. If Daddy Spears gets them removed, their income is also removed.

    I'm all for what Jamie and his co-conservator decide. Seems like no one in her life recently cares one damned thing about her - just about her money. Let the conservators clean the vipers nest out and start afresh with people that have some genuine concern for BS - not just her money.

    BS has done a bang-up job of fucking up her life. It's time the conservators stop the bleeding.

    Her FATHER is a DRUNK. Every photo I have seen of him lately he looks red eyed and drunk. He looks nasty and in no shape to manage ANYTHING. Britney hates her dad, why should that old drunk have any say in her life?? I feel sorry for poor Britney. Her dad always looks hung over.

  58. turnip truck says – reply to this


    58

    Re: Shalene – Her Dad has been sober since 2004 and I think he's the perfect person to help her get better. Being a recovering addict himself, he'll see through any of the bullshit she might try to hide or justify her addiction. And YES she is an addict that has cause or is in addition to any mental issues she has.

  59. mag says – reply to this


    59

    Re: mom – The one who has conservatorship right now is her father. Her father is the only one not currently on the SPears payroll. I think he truely cares about his daughter. I may be wrong but time will tell and it's better not to have some law firm being pushed by her so-call "manager" making her decisions for her.

  60. What if Britney had cancer? says – reply to this


    60

    Being bi-polar is not any less life-shattering than having any other major illness. Have a heart people!! Would these nasty things be said if she had cancer or heart disease? No difference really - the girl if suffering badly. She needs your compassion and positive vibes.

  61. Shanti says – reply to this


    61

    Re: yesenia – yesenia… her lawyers are PAID TO BE THERE, we don't know what's been going on with her parents for real, just what the media says, maybe she does have a good relationship with her father. At least he's always seem really concern for his daughter's well being.

    Oppose it?!
    How the fuck was it implemented in the first place when no one was in court representing my goddess of sweetness?
    Doctorless Phil and judgeless Judy are cock and cunt suckers.
    The combo platter should end up in the fucked up file.
    We must fight for this chick's rights.
    Britney needs to have a restraining order against both oMOMa and oPOPa and oSAMa needs his right to access to the goddess of sweetness without delay.
    The paki who went to Vegas for the weekend can go get fucked. The loser.
    So much for all you retards who claimed Brtiney would thank oMOMa and oPOPa for having her straitjacked.

    63

    ..I think dad is the best at this point.Lawyers just want the money. That "hatred" is probably over the divorce, besides the fact that shes fucking bipolar…And what were they supposed to do, hide Jamie's pregnancy? fact is, that would have been impossible, you dumb fucks. She's in a television show. They couldn't just let it get out there.They had to get it out themselves, before it killed her career.You have to get any information out, before you someone else does. Then its a scandal(which, it still was) but even so, it will be less because they got the information out themselves.

    Re: Carol
    No.
    I'm a friend of Justice.
    Britney did nothing wrong.
    You don't get the right to just take over someone's life because you don't agree with them - This isn't Cuba
    And without Justice there's Just us!

    I care that Britney is really losing it, but I believe if she satyed home a little more instead of the every-five-minute-run to the gas station & Rite Aide, she mind have more of her mind left. I am a single mother of a precious little boy & do not for one minute understand her non-chalant attitude towards being a great mother & a respectable female. Get out of your car, stay home a little more, & put on an effing bra. No one wants to see that. Does having bi-polar mean that you have to look trashy?? She is not that bad off people, she's acting like a spoiled, selfish, brat!!

    UPDATE.

    Jamie is still conservator.
    T&T are still custody lawyers.
    Review on 14th.

    All is still good in the world of Spears.

    i feel really bad for britt =[

    a) because her dad isn't gonna do shittzuu.
    b) because she is out of her mind.

    that guurrl is having soo many ups and downs. first she makes a good new song, and then this. she HAS to have some mental problems.

    It's called manic depression. Look what she has been through. She loved Kevin. She had two kids with him. He fucked her over like the rat he is. I'm sure she was warned prior, though. Now she lost her kids. Britney has worked since she herself was a kid. Always controlled and told what to do, when to do it, how to do it and who to do it with. Now she's her own boss.
    She is her own worst enemy, though.
    The court decision is brutal. The judge and lawyers are milking this. Court hearings every week or other week.
    How many other moms treat their kids far worse and nothing is done?
    Brit has money, and the judge and lawyers want it.
    Sad.

    72

    Bi-polar usually runs in the family, not always bi-polar but some form of mental problems. It's highly likely she inherited her illness from her mother and/or father so they could be as mentally fucked up or worse than her and given the fact that it's no secret she is not on good terms with her parents, why risk the added stress when she's hospitalized to get better? Just have a nuetral party take over the conservatorship and reduce her stress, stop all the speculation and get her and her family and friends, sidekicks, etc. off the airwaves.

    Re: ashley
    She's struck in a nuthotel for 14 more daze.
    The unemployable oPOPa and oMOMa continue to stress her out and run up legal bills for her while claiming they know what's best.
    Britney is probably being forced feed jelly beans and kool aid, all in the name of justice.
    Pathetic.
    Where's all the smart LA celebs who haven't spoken up?
    Maybe they'll be next.
    Let's hope us.
