Britney Spears: A Passenger in Her Own Life

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors

Britney Spears Papers were filed Monday with the L.A. Superior Court that have pretty well sealed the fate of one , who from now on will no longer be the captain of her own ship. That’s right - Daddy’s got control, and he’s going to keep it.

Jamie Spears has officially been awarded permanent conservatorship, or guardianship, of daughter Britney. He’ll determine what to do with her finances, career and personal life from now on…until the agreement is severed through death or the court system. Spears now has the legal right to pull the strings on Brit’s life, even to “restrict and limit visitors by any means.”

Seriously, does this sound a little ominous to anyone else?

Jamie Spears reportedly received a raise for his guardianship role recently, getting bumped up to $75 per hour. The raise gave him an income hike of about $51,000 annually. Now, he makes around 16 large per month just to hold Brit’s hand, tell her what to do and in general run her life. Basically, he’s getting paid to take care of his daughter. ...Is it me, or is that weird?

Lord Acton’s words from 1887 are often paraphrased into a famous quote which I think is relevant here:

“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Jamie Lynn Spears pregnantResidents of McComb, Mississippi probably saw quite quite an unusual sight this morning: a throng of paparazzi trying to get shots of the newest Spears family member.

At approximately 9:30 a.m. today, 17-year-old gave her parents their latest grandchild. The girl, named Maddie Briann, is (thankfully) the first child for Jamie and her fiance, 19-year-old Casey Aldridge.

All the members of Jamie Lynn’s family - including parents Jamie and Lynne, sister Britney and brother Bryan - were in McComb at the time of the delivery. (Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center is located near the clan’s hometown of Kentwood, LA.)

Britney SpearsAccording to E! Online, the day after their daughter left the UCLA Psychiatric Treatment Center, Britney’s parents are concerned for their daughter’s health and well being, have no idea where she currently is, and fear that her life is at risk.

And in this sad chapter that has become ’ life, some new characters have emerged: the First Lady of California and AH-nuld’s wife, Maria Shriver, and Streisand, no not Barbra-Adam, attorney at the law firm Loeb & Loeb. That is where Britney and pal (yup, he’s baa-ack) spent time just hours after she left the psych ward. Britney is looking to hire Streisand to orchestrate a game plan that would enable her to strip her father Jamie of his interim guardian duties.  Apparently Britney just doesn’t trust Jamie.

Britney’s Mom: Sam “the Antichrist” Lutfi Drugged My Daughter

Posted by Elaine Furst Categories: Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rumors

Britney Spears, Sam LuftiAs part of a temporary restraining order against Sam Lufti, gave a heartwrenching deposition relating the extent of Lufti’s attempts to control her daughter.

According to E! Online, Lynne claims that met Lutfi (whose full first name is Osama-how apropos!) around October 2007 and immediately insinuated himself into her life. Determined to control her, Lutfi drugged her, cut her phone lines, and “systematically inserted himself into all aspects of her life”.

Such is the extent of Lutfi’s determination to control Britney and keep her parents out of her life that Lutfi made the following statement to Lynne: “If you try to get rid of me, she’ll be dead and I’ll piss on her grave”. Understandably, these remarks terrified Britney’s family which led them to seek the restraining order.

Someone to Watch Over Britney

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Meltdowns, Breaking News

Britney SpearsIt’s no secret that former pop star has had her fair share of troubles recently. She’s in a bitter with ex-hubby , she’s been admitted to the and she’s tragic media fodder. The latest reports say Brit will stay in the hospital for at least two weeks more, so now the whole issue has turned down a different path: who’s going to take care of Britney?

Father was given control over Britney (and her various assets) when she was hospitalized, but all that may change at a Monday hearing. A neutral party, or a different relative, may gain control, according to sources close to the situation. There is also another custody-related hearing scheduled for Monday, the latest in a long string of court appearances which determine which parent will parent Britney’s two children. Unfortunately, it seems right now Spears isn’t capable of taking care of herself.
