Britney Spears’ parents have got back together

Lynne and Jamie Spears – – who have three grown-up children, Britney, Bryan and Jamie-Lynn – divorced eight years ago after 30 years of marriage but friends say they have now reconciled and are happier than ever.

One pal told People magazine: “They are back together and are doing well and happy. They’re not remarried but back together.”

The couple were recently spotted at Los Angeles bar Boudoir and onlookers say they were having fun as they danced to some of daughter Britney’s greatest hits.

One said: “They were in a great mood together. They were laughing together – dancing and laughing and totally having fun.”

Lynne’s friends are said to be thrilled for her, with one family pal saying: “Lynne is a dear, sweet person. She deserves happiness. As her friend, my wish for her would be a happy ending.”

While Lynne and Jamie are now back together, it remains to be seen what Britney thinks of the news as she has previously spoken of her relief at her parents’ divorce.

She said: “It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to my family. My mom and dad, bottom line, do not get along. When I was a baby, they argued.”

Britney Spears — Not-So-Conservative Conservatee

Britney Spears just left court after meeting with the judge in her conservatorship case … and baby’s got back.

Sources tell us … Judge Reva Goetz has discussed ending the conservatorship with the lawyers during the last few court hearings, although no decision has been reached.

Judge Goetz requested the meeting with Britney today, and they had a sit-down in her chambers.

No word on how close the conservatorship is to ending, but we know this clue — someone will file a petition to terminate it.

We’ll let you know …
Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, was present in the chambers when Britney met with the judge about her progress. Jamie just left the courtroom — minutes after Britney.

Britney Spears could be in charge of her own finances again by the end of the year

The ‘Womanizer’ hitmaker – who suffered from a very public meltdown in 2007 resulting in her being hospitalised in January 2008 – has had her personal and professional affairs controlled by her father Jamie Spears since 2008 when a judge ruled he and lawyer Andrew Wallet should be made co-conservators of her business affairs.

However, lawyers involved in the case believe the singer is “more than ready” to take control of her estate again.

An insider told E! News: “Everyone involved believes she has the necessary proof that she is competent to be in charge of her affairs. She’s more than ready.”

Britney – who has two sons, Sean Preston, five, and four-year-old Jayden James, with ex-husband Kevin Federline – is currently being sued for sexual harassment by former bodyguard Fernando Flores, who has also claimed the star was abusive to her children.

However, Mr. Wallet has rebuffed the lawsuit, stating the bodyguard only filed it against Britney in the hope of producing “sensational headlines”.

He explained to gossip website RadarOnline.com: “The lawsuit that Flores filed against Ms. Spears was done so for sensational headlines only and in keeping with his previous missives.

“It should have been filed against the conservatorship. Mr. Flores knew who we were yet he chose to file against Ms. Spears directly even though she is still under the conservatorship.”

Another conservatorship hearing is set to take place on September 30.

Britney Spears — Conservatorship In Name Only

Sources connected with Britney Spears tell TMZ … her conservatorship has essentially become a formality — because Britney now makes almost all of her personal decisions herself.

Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, is the official conservator and has the power to make life decisions for his daughter.  But our sources say Jamie has quite intentionally pulled back and is allowing Britney to control her life — where she goes, what she does with her kids, etc.

As for when the conservatorship will end — it’s sketchy.  Late last year, sources told TMZ the plan was to end the conservatorship around this time.  But it now looks like the conservatorship will last at least ’til the end of summer.  We’re told for his part, Jamie would like to set Britney free and get back home to Louisiana.

Sources tell us the court-appointed psychiatrist has conducted a new evaluation and is submitting his findings to the court.  Everyone involved — including the shrink — say Britney is like a different person from the one who was on a 5150 in January 2008.

One final note — although Britney is making her own life decisions, the conservatorship over Britney
Spears “the business” will stay in place indefinitely.

Despite multiple reports to the contrary … Britney Spears‘ father has not given her a bra ultimatum — in fact, we’re told he laughed when he heard the story.

As the tale goes, Jamie Spears was embarrassed by pics of Brit Brit showing off her nip nips, so he imposed a “must wear a bra” rule on his famous conservatee. But sources close to the family tell us there is no such rule in place, nor has there even been any thought of one.

We’re told Jamie’s feeling is this … you can’t make any 28-year-old woman wear a bra if she doesn’t want to … especially Britney.

Control her finances? Yes. Her undergarments? No.

Britney Spears’ father has banned his daughter from going out without a bra.

The ‘3′ singer – who is still under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears following her widely-publicised breakdown in 2007 – has been warned she needs to improve her public image which is why he has imposed the bra rule and threatened to sack any member of her security who lets her slip out without underwear on.

A friend said: “Jamie’s control over Britney’s life is incredible. He hates the pictures of her with her nipples all over the place so he has banned her from leaving the house without a bra. He wants her to put across the right impression. One security guard is told he is close to getting fired because he lets her go out without her bra.”

The 57-year-old patriarch – who has control of the singer’s finances – has also been deemed responsible for the end of the pop star’s relationship with 38-year-old talent agent Jason Trawick, who she split with at the end of February.

The friend added to The Sun newspaper: “It was also Jamie who made her split with Jason. He likes Jason but their relationship was too intense and volatile. He feared it was sending her back to her old ways. He warned her, ‘It’s Jason or your children.’ ” Britney, 28, has two sons, Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The 28-year-old singer’s father Jamie Spears – who was made co-conservator of her personal and professional affairs after her public breakdown in 2008 – has met with lawyers and wants a judge to review the conditions of the agreement now Britney’s ‘Circus’ tour has ended.

According to gossip website TMZ, there have been “several lengthy meetings recently between the lawyers and the court commissioner in the commissioner’s chambers”.

Although they’ve met with the judge, Jamie and Britney’s lawyers cannot decide whether or not the conservatorship ends.

Instead, a “capacity expert” – a court-appointed psychiatrist – will evaluate Britney and submit his results to the court commissioner.

While Britney could soon be in control of her personal life, her business interests are likely to be protected for longer.

TMZ reported: “There are actually two conservatorships – one over Britney, the person, and the other over Britney’s business affairs. We’re told the business conservatorship will likely continue. The issue on the table is whether to end the conservatorship over Britney, the person. Again, no decisions have been made, but it’s all moving in that direction.”
