The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:While not exactly MIA, Britney Spears certainly isn't quite as...visible (and we don't just mean in the vaginal sense) as she used to be premeltdown, prehospitalization and, as it turns out, preconservatorship.
Not only is the popster spending time with her kids again, but she's also working, eating in restaurants that don't offer a drive-thru option and—we thought it seemed quiet—hasn't been the cause of a traffic stop, police motorcade or late-night field trip to a gas-station food mart in some time.
E! News has pieced together Britney's, return to planet Earth, we mean transformation and discovered a common denominator among all this antimadness: dear old dad.
Sources say it's Jamie Spears' tough love that has put her back on track. Naysayers can hoot 'n' holler all they want about whether Britney really needs someone to make decisions for her or whether Jamie's just in it for the $2,500 weekly allowance, but riddle us this:
In which of these cases is Britney worse off than she was before she locked herself in the bathroom and ended up in an ambulance (twice)?
• The Odd Couple: Britney's got a roommate now that Jamie's moved in to keep the demons out. "Jamie feels like this is his last chance to save his daughter," a family insider tells E! News. "He knows he's not perfect and hasn't always been there, but he is determined not to make the same mistakes and take care of her. He knows Britney well enough to know he needs to be there or she will fall into bad habits."
• Sayonara, Sam: Since Jamie and Lynne Spears secured that restraining order against the singer's self-proclaimed manager, Sam Lutfi, Britney's life has been oddly sans public displays of hysteria. Our sources say Jamie asks all comers to cut ties with Lutfi before they're allowed contact with his daughter.
• Peace Out, Paps: There's a reason why the freelance stalkerazzi are seeking out temp work. Per Jamie's orders, Britney stays inside for the most part and, when she does go out, she's flanked by at least two beefy bodyguards and an assistant, while her outdoor activity is limited to climbing in and out of her chauffeured Escalade. The source says she's even been able to make it to her workouts at the Home Depot Center, all the way on the outskirts of L.A., without being followed. Hence, no more 24/7-drama dollars padding the pockets.
• 26 Going On 16: We hear Britney has a 10 p.m. curfew, meaning, no more midnight shopping or...whatever the heck else she was doing at all hours while in meltdown mode. Jamie's also monitoring his little girl's medication schedule, phone calls, her visits with her sons and at-home therapy sessions. And just as getting good grades in a normal house means getting to stay out till all hours on prom night, behaving in Britney's house means trips to Dominick's, text messages with Alli Sims and all the dance rehearsals she can handle.
• Playing the Links: Britney may not get to share in the fun that obviously occurs when Jamie tees off with former enemy Kevin Federline for the occasional golf game, but the greatly improved relationship between her dad and the man who got to keep the kids has allowed her to share some badly needed mommy time with Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Overall, there might be something to this short-leash thing. But doesn't influence rub both ways? If Jamie ends up sporting a pink wig and making 2 a.m. runs to Kitson, then we'll know: This is Britney's world. We just obsess over it.
