Britney Spears’ Permanent Conservatorship Goes Into Effect

The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:

It’s official – Britney Spears is no longer in control of herself.

Court papers were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, making a judge’s October ruling (which made the conservatorship over Britney permanent) official.

The conservatorship over the pop star legally began on January 5, 2009.

The agreement gives permanent control of the pop star’s finances to her father, Jamie Spears, along with attorney Andrew Wallet. While Jamie is sole conservator over Britney’s personal matters.

In the papers pertaining to Britney’s financial matters, it states Britney “is substantially unable to manage … her financial resources or to resist fraud or undue influence.”

When it comes to control over Britney, herself, the papers state the star “is unable properly to provide for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.”

The personal order also gives Jamie Spears “the power to restrict and limit visitors by any means.”

When Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz granted Jamie Spears a permanent conservatorship over his daughter on October 28, 2008, a court-appointed attorney for Spears said the singer did not object to the arrangement.

Britney was not present in court on Monday, and instead was represented by attorney Sam Ingham.

The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:

Britney Spears gave in to temptation over Christmas - and indulged in lots of calorific goodies.

The Toxic singer - who has worked hard over the past few months to regain her once fabulous figure - used the Festive period as an excuse to fall off the comeback wagon.

So Britney is now starting 2009 with a revised diet and fitness regime in the hope she can burn off the pounds she's gained over the holidays.

A source says, "Britney has been working hard to get back to something like the form she used to have but Christmas is too much of a temptation for her.

"Going home for Christmas with all that food was just too much to deny herself. She indulged herself for a few days but now she's had to promise to get it all off again fast.

"This is a big year for her coming up and she can't afford any more issues with her image."

She told a British magazine in April last year, "I couldn't ever live a life like Britney Spears, who is under the spotlight every day.

"I couldn't do that. I would go stir crazy. I need my privacy with my husband and children otherwise I'd just go loopy.

"When we read magazines and there are so many celebrities going out doing whatever they're doing and falling out of nightclubs. But David and I are quite boring. If people really knew the truth about us they wouldn't care."

Britney Spears Defies Diet Plan With Fast Food Binges

The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:

Britney Spears is putting her comeback in jeopardy by binging on fast food, it has been claimed.

According to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the singer, 27, is ignoring the 1,200 calories-a-day diet devised for her by her managers by gorging on burgers and chips.

A source tells the publication, "Britney's been eating burgers and chips for lunch in complete defiance of the strict eating plan worked out for her.

"It's as if she's trying to defy her father and bosses, and break out of the controlled environment by turning away from the healthy lifestyle they've put in place."

"Every decision in her life is made for her and she's kept under the strictest watch to make sure her comeback is a success. Eating her favourite foods is one of the few ways she can control things."

Spears - who has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since her high-profile breakdown earlier this year - has shed 28lbs since July after being put on a strict exercise regime and diet as part of her continuing recovery.

However, she recently claimed the strict conditions of her new lifestyle make her feel trapped.

She said, "When I tell people the way I feel, they hear me, but they aren't really listening. I'm sad. Even when you go to jail, there is always the time you know you are going to get out, you know? But in this situation, it's never ending. "
