Britney Spears' Father To Retain Control Of Her Personal Affairs

The father of Britney Spears will remain in control of her affairs, a court has decided today (July 31st).

James Spears will look after the singer's finances and certain parts of her personal life until the close of the year, rules Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz.

The decision came after Britney's well-publicised "meltdown" earlier this year, which led her being taken to her hospital.

Since then, the 'Slave For You' star has bounced back - settling a child custody battle with her ex husband Keven Federline, recording a new album and also filming a video to be used as part of Madonna's world tour.
