Imagine if you had control of everything Britney Spears owns; the money, the houses, the underwea- wait, no, forget that last one.
Well Jamie Spears does have control of everything that Britney Spears owns and, thanks to a recent court order, he gets to keep control of it all for another glorious month.
A judge has extended Jamie Spears' conservatorship of Britney Spears until at least March 10. And it's an undoubtedly good thing that Jamie Spears is still holding the purse strings – not just for Britney, who can continue recovering from her meltdown under the protective care of her family, but also for anyone who wants to see the dream of Jamie Spears' Sticky Cluckin' Fried Poultry Shack become a delicious reality.
For the most part, Jamie Spears is perhaps the most unassuming member of the Spears family. Unlike his wife Lynne Spears, Jamie didn't feel the need to write a book bragging about what an exceptional parent he is despite the world being littered with evidence to the contrary. Unlike his daughter Jamie-Lynn Spears, Jamie didn't get himself knocked up at 16 from a boy he met at church. And unlike Britney Spears, Jamie Spears has never had a picture of his naked mimsy published on the internet.
Add to this a tendency not to take naked pictures of Britney Spears with the intention of selling them or mash drugs into Britney's food, and it's probably a given that Jamie Spears is the best person to act as Britney Spears' conservator while she recovers from that stay in the psychiatric hospital.
With that in mind, it's good to hear that Jamie Spears has been given extended conservatorship over Britney until at least March 10, as E! Online reports:
After a brief hearing Thursday, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz declined to make any changes to the conservatorship overseeing the "Gimme More" singer's affairs, effectively leaving father Jamie Spears in control at least until the next hearing, slated for Mar. 10. The elder Spears also sought—and was granted—permission to take over more aspects of Britney's finances, including her taxes. Also present in the courtroom was Ivan Taback, an attorney for Britney's 30-year-old brother, Bryan. Together they were named temporary cotrustees of Britney's SJB Trust, which is used to pay for her daily expenses and medical bills.
In court, it was claimed that Britney Spears still needed to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by the court, to assess whether or not she'll be allowed to take back control of her estate. If that hasn't been carried out by next month, then Jamie Spears' conservatorship may be extended further still.
And, as you'll have noticed, with every renewal of conservatorship Jamie Spears is granted a little more power. First he was given control of her estate, then he was given the go-ahead to fire Britney's manager and now he gets to take care of Britney's taxes as well. What'll happen if Jamie Spears is given further privileges next month? According to our calculations, it'll be something like this…
That's right, Jamie Spears will end up with a fancy candlestick on his head. Or something.

‘lonely girl’…. did you even read the piece or just the headline?! It’s her Dad who’s taken custody of her estate not her bloody sister, small clues like ‘he’ being used in most of the sentences did it for me……now go and sit in a corner and write a hundred times ‘You are a badmine means nothing in the english language’

I would hope that, as her father, Jamie Spears will have a degree of wisdom in how he handles Britney’s estate. At the very least, having the smarts to hire a staff of decent accountants. This is probably ultimately for the best for Britnet.
