Battle for Britney Spears's money
Pop starlet Britney Spears lost the right to decide about her life quite some time ago. After the singer was repeatedly hospitalized in various mental health facilities following a series of life escapades, her father, James Spears, has taken over control of her finances and life. Two years ago, her younger sister Jamie Lynn gained control of her property, and it is she who is currently taking further steps. She would like to manage the trust fund that Britney set up in 2004 to provide for her children. Jamie Lynn has already applied and the case will now be decided at court.
