Lockdown

Britney Spears is still under her dad Jamie’s control. The 28-year old pop queen tried to escape from papa¹s clutches during a conservatorship hearing in LA yesterday. But he courts decided that the arrangement, where Jamie Spears controls all of Britney’s finances and can decide who she can see, where she can go and other matters of her private life, will stay as is for now. And while there will be another hearing next month to discuss ending the conservatorship  which was put in place after Brit Brit went off the deep end in 2008, shaved her head and was sent to the loony bin  for now, Ms. Spears will continue to fork over $16,000 a month to daddy as payment for his duties.
