Docu-series on Britney Spears' conservatorship to premiere on February 5

<p>Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears has alleged that his daughter's legal team are motivated by self interest and he fears they will harm the singer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to reports, Britney`s lawyer Sam Ingham, in a hearing last month had claimed that the 39-years old singer is intimidated by her father and fears him; hence she refuses to perform as long as her estate is controlled by Jamie. Jamie is Britney's conservator and has been handling her life and career since 2008 when the singer had a much public breakdown.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The father and daughter are now embroiled in a bitter legal battle where Britney has demanded Jamie's removal from the post of conservator.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Jamie had temporarily stepped down in 2019, owing to his own health complications but resumed duties few months later.<br />
Jamie had told CNN on Tuesday (local time) that he hasn`t talked to his daughter since she publicly aired her concerns about him in back in August this year, accusing his daughter`s attorney of creating an intentional divide between them. Jamie said, "I love my daughter and I miss her very much."</p>

<p>"When a family member needs special care and protection, families need to step up, as I have done for the last 12-plus years, to safeguard, protect and continue to love Britney unconditionally."<br />
<br />
"I have and will continue to provide unwavering love and fierce protection against those with self-serving interests and those who seek to harm her or my family," he further added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier in August, the `Toxic` singer had stated that she strongly opposes that her father should oversee her financial records and career, and nominated the company `Bessemer Trust` for the same.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During the November hearing of this case, the judge had ruled to continue Jamie as a co-conservator along with Bessemer Trust Company.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Britney took the legal route this year after her fans started the #FreeBritney movement on social media and demanded Jamie's removal from Britney's life as a conservator.&nbsp;</p>

Britney Spears' father Jamie to remain her conservator, singer says she won't perform again

<p>In a new twist in the ongoing battle for Britney's conservatorship, the singer now wants her father, Jaime Spears, to be "suspended immediately" as the co-conservator of her estate.<br />
<br />
The singer's attorney, Sam Ingham, filed new documents recently, with Britney requesting that Bessemer Trust Company be the sole conservator of her estate and that her dad be removed. A hearing is set for Tuesday, November 11.<br />

The singer and her lawyer claim Jamie hired Michael Kane of Miller Kaplan to serve as a business manager without her knowledge or consulting her about the replacement fees.<br />

"The Oct. 28 letter is a blatant attempt by [Jamie] to retain full functional control of her assets, books, and records in the face of Britney's objections, Tristar’s resignation, and the appointment of Bessemer Trust,” the documents read. “His simple litigation strategy is to introduce a new gatekeeper who admittedly has a major working relationship with his legal team."<br />

Britney Spears' father slams singer's attorney, urges her to speak for herself 

<p>One step closer to freedom for Britney Spears. The singer earned a small victory in the courtoom this week as she was allowed to expand her legal team in fighting for her freedom from conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Since 2008 Britney has been put under conservatorship with her fater Jamie Spears controling almost everything in her life as her conservator.</p>

<p>The 38-year-old singer was not in attendance for the hearing but Jamie, her mother Lynne and her attorney Samuel Ingham were present.<br />
<br />
Britney's father has filed paperwork last week contending the petition as unnecessary spending and that it would cost Spears too much money.<br />
<br />
Britney's legal team insists her wants and needs are different her father's vision in which she resumes performing and gives him the charge to manage her estate completely as she did in the past.<br />
<br />
Last week, Jamie's lawyer had questioned if Britney would be present in court for hearing or not.</p>

<p>'Perhaps it would be best for Ms. Spears to appear so we all know what she's thinking,' the lawyer said. 'We are not trying to force Ms. Spears into court either.'<br />
<br />
Britney had objected to her father's filing last month where he requested to seal court proceedings. The singer wants her fans informed of what's going on behind closed doors as they were the ones who have been demanding Britney's freedom from conservatorship.<br />
<br />
"Britney strongly believes it is consistent not only with her personal best interests but also with good public policy generally that the decision to appoint a new conservator of her estate be made in as open and transparent a manner as possible,' the documents said. 'The sealing motion is supposedly being brought by her father to 'protect' Britney's interests, but she is adamantly opposed to it."<br />
<br />
Jamie had stepped down from his role in September 2019 due to his health. Temporary conservatorship was handed over to Britney's care manager Jodi Montgomery. Jamie&nbsp; resumed his duties in January 2020.<br />
<br />
In 2007, Britney famously shaved her head at a salon in Tarzana, California, which many believe to be just the beginning of her mental health downfall and she even lost custody of her children.<br />
<br />
For many years, her fants have urged the courts to free the singer from her father's control. The #FreeBritney movement has demanded for an end of her conservatorship.</p>

Britney's father has filed paperwork last week contending the petition as unnecessary spending and that it would cost Spears too much money. Britney's legal team insists her wants and needs are different her father's vision in which she resumes performing and gives him the charge to manage her estate completely as she did in the past. Last week, Jamie's lawyer had questioned if Britney would be present in court for hearing or not. Also read: Britney Spears conservatorship to continue till 2021 with her father as her conservator 'Free Britney Spears' gains momentum on the Internet as fans sign petition to end her conservatorship 'Perhaps it would be best for Ms. Spears to appear so we all know what she's thinking,' the lawyer said. 'We are not trying to force Ms. Spears into court either.' Britney had objected to her father's filing last month where he requested to seal court proceedings. The singer wants her fans informed of what's going on behind closed doors as they were the ones who have been demanding Britney's freedom from conservatorship. "Britney strongly believes it is consistent not only with her personal best interests but also with good public policy generally that the decision to appoint a new conservator of her estate be made in as open and transparent a manner as possible,' the documents said. 'The sealing motion is supposedly being brought by her father to 'protect' Britney's interests, but she is adamantly opposed to it." Jamie had stepped down from his role in September 2019 due to his health. Temporary conservatorship was handed over to Britney's care manager Jodi Montgomery. Jamie resumed his duties in January 2020. In 2007, Britney famously shaved her head at a salon in Tarzana, California, which many believe to be just the beginning of her mental health downfall and she even lost custody of her children. For many years, her fants have urged the courts to free the singer from her father's control. The #FreeBritney movement has demanded for an end of her conservatorship.

Court allows Britney Spears to expand her legal team in conservatorship case

<p>There is now more update on the front of Britney Spears movement after “FreeBritney” trended on the internet with fans asking for the singer to be released from the conservatorship she’s been living under since 2008.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to new developments on the case, the singer's court-appointed lawyer told a Los Angeles judge that she lacks the capacity to sign a declaration expressing her wishes and compared her to a "comatose" person.</p>

<p>Since August, attorney Samuel Ingham has fueled the movement to free Britney Spears from her father Jamie Spears, being solely in charge of her conservatorship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is news according to court documents that the conservatorship is voluntary. If the singer wants out, Ingham can file the paperwork. However, it wouldn’t be simple or quick. There would likely be an evaluation of whether she has the capacity to make such a decision and whether she’s capable of managing her affairs without being subject to undue influence.</p>

<p>In his August 17 filing, it is come to known that Britney no longer wanted her father to be the sole conservator of her estate and was "strongly opposed" to him being reinstated as the conservator of her person.</p>

#FreeBritneySpears takes a turn as lawyer argues about her condition comparing it to 'comatose'

<p>The 2003 MTV Video Music Awards is best remembered for Madonna’s on-stage kiss with popstar Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The three shared kisses- which was part of an elaborate act- to an extremely shocked audience.</p>

<p>Years later, the act is still considered one of the boldest, eyeball grabbing act of our times but Christina Aguilera has opened up and stated there was nothing “shocking” about the kiss.</p>

<p>The singer opened up about the famous pop culture moment during a conversation with Apple Music's Zane Lowe on Thursday. While the lip-lock made headlines at that time, Christina has said she "never thought anything of it."</p>

<p>"Shock value gets more and more extreme or whatever. But honestly, at the time, yeah, I never thought anything of it," she said. "It was like, 'Okay, it's two girls kissing.' "</p>

<p>"It wasn't shocking back then. It's not shocking now, to me. But it's so many things," she added.</p>

<p>Back in 2018, the singer had recalled how the media focussed more on Britney and Madonna’s kiss. Calling it ‘weird’ she had said, “And you know why they cut it? The cutaway to get Justin (Timberlake)’s reaction," she said.</p>

<p>"I saw the newspaper the next day and it was like, ‘Oh — well I guess I got left out of that one.'” However, Christina did not mind it because she later gave an electrifying performance on stage. "I mean everything happened so quickly back then and everything was in a whirlwind," she explained. "But I had my performance that night. It was 'Fighter' and it was with Dave Navarro. It was a kickass performance. So I was okay with that."</p>

<p>During Thursday’s interview, Christina also opened up about how Madonna has been a big influence while her growing up years.</p>

<p>"Madonna, first of all, the queen of reinventing herself, was a huge inspiration," she shared. "When I was little, I was not allowed to listen to her or watch her videos or anything. It was just like a no-no, but then whenever you grow up, and I discovered her catalog and her videos and the fact that she had such a message."</p>

<p>In Britney’s case, her estate, financial assets, visitors and career negotiations are being overlooked by her father, Jamie Spears and an attorney.<br />
<br />
After her break up with her husband Kevin Federline in 2007, the singer underwent a very public meltdown and even shaved her head. Since then&nbsp; the singer has been under conservatorship.<br />
<br />
In 2008, the singer was committed to a psychiatric ward twice and after the second time, her father petitioned with the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency “temporary conservatorship.” The arrangement was later made permanent.<br />
<br />
Since then Britney's life and career has been completely owned and controlled by her father. The singer does not have any right to spend her own money,&nbsp; and all her activities are monitored.<br />
<br />
Fans argue that if Britney was mentally unwell, she wouldn't have had a thriving career and released 4 albums, and earned over USD 138 million since the time she was put in conservatorship. Fans believe that her conservatorship is just a means to exploit her and her wealth which according to court documents from 2018 is at least $59 million.<br />
<br />
Over 134,000 concerned fans have now signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Fashion industry watchdog, Diet Prada, took to their Instagram and shared about the whole episode and pointed out why it was important for Britney Spears to break free. "This is heartbreaking. Swipe to slide 5 for the shady details on Britney’s conservatorship, which is usually reserved for individuals who are incapacitated. I know some people’s instincts might be to not take this seriously or laugh because the world has made a joke of her existence to a certain extent, but this is a woman who is denied access to her own children, finances, and any control over her own life. The law is corrupt and so are the middle-aged men who are ruining a thriving, successful woman’s life. Britney has a court hearing coming up on July 22nd.

Britney Spears' recent social media posts have once again sparked discussion among her fans on the singer's mental health. Concerned with her posts, several of her fans on Instagram observed that she was not behaving normally and wrote, “Girl you okay? Love you + your work but you seem.. off” and “Britney we all love you. we want you to be ok!” Fans have started the hashtag #FreeBritney, a trend that first came into existence in 2019 after Spears was checked into mental health facility after she refused to take prescribed drugs that her doctor had given her and for driving to an In-N-Out with her boyfriend. Several of her followers have again started conversing about Britney's conservatorship, under which her assets and life is controlled and monitored by her father and her lawyer. The hashtags #SaveBritney and #FreeBritney have once again started trending on social media with many fans believing that Britney was sending them secret messages to rescue her and get her out of her conservatorship. A conservatorship is a legal concept of guardianship in America, where an individual is appointed a guardian or a conservator by the court to help them with their day to day affairs. Such an arrangement is made for mentally or physically incapable individuals or for senior citizens or people suffering from extreme mental health issues, like schizophrenia or dementia. The conservator makes all the decisions in their life. This isn’t a coincidence anymore Britney Spears is sending messages for help. #freebritney pic.twitter.com/Qv2NnZyZhV — 👑 #FREEBRITNEY #BLACKLIVESMATTER (@touchofpisces) July 8, 2020 × In Britney’s case, her estate, financial assets, visitors and career negotiations are being overlooked by her father, Jamie Spears and an attorney. After her break up with her husband Kevin Federline in 2007, the singer underwent a very public meltdown and even shaved her head. Since then the singer has been under conservatorship. In 2008, the singer was committed to a psychiatric ward twice and after the second time, her father petitioned with the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency “temporary conservatorship.” The arrangement was later made permanent. Since then Britney's life and career has been completely owned and controlled by her father. The singer does not have any right to spend her own money, and all her activities are monitored. Fans argue that if Britney was mentally unwell, she wouldn't have had a thriving career and released 4 albums, and earned over USD 138 million since the time she was put in conservatorship. Fans believe that her conservatorship is just a means to exploit her and her wealth which according to court documents from 2018 is at least $59 million. Over 134,000 concerned fans have now signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship. Fashion industry watchdog, Diet Prada, took to their Instagram and shared about the whole episode and pointed out why it was important for Britney Spears to break free. "This is heartbreaking.

<p>The longtime manager for <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/britney-spears-granted-restraining-order-against-parasite-ex-manager-217264">Britney Spears </a>voiced concern about her mental health on Wednesday, saying he believes the pop singer should not return to performing at a planned Las Vegas residency in the near term "and possibly never again."</p>

<p>In January, Spears suspended plans for a new show set to run in Vegas from February to August after her father became seriously ill following a ruptured colon.</p>

<p>Last month, she spent time in a mental health facility, saying she needed "a little me time."</p>

<p>Larry Rudolph, in remarks to celebrity website TMZ, Variety and Entertainment Tonight, said the "Stronger" singer had not called him in months.</p>

<p>But he told TMZ; "As the person who guides her career - based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis - from what I have gathered it`s clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again," Rudolph told TMZ.</p>

<p>"I don't want her to work again till she's ready, physically, mentally and passionately," Rudolph added. "If that time never comes again, it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again."</p>

<p>Other representatives for Spears, 37, did not immediately return a request for comment.</p>

Britney Spears may never work again, says her longtime manager

<p>American singer-songwriter Britney Spears has been granted a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi.According to court documents obtained by E! News, the artist was granted a restraining order after she requested protection from Lutfi on Tuesday in LA County Superior Court.<br />
<br />
Marc S&nbsp;Gans, Sam`s attorney, issued a statement to E! News and expressed his disappointment after the hearing. "We are disappointed in the results. We feel this is overly broad and violates Mr. Lutfi`s constitutional rights," he stated.According to the legal documents obtained by E! News, the singer, and her family requested a civil harassment restraining order against the 44-year-old manager, who is described as a "parasite" in the 81-page filing.<br />
<br />
According to the documents, Lutfi allegedly pretended to "have a professional relationship with Ms. Spears, even falsely claiming to have been her manager."However, the singer`s family was able to remove Lutfi from Britney`s life in 2009, when the artist got a three-year restraining order against him and was subsequently placed under conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Britney`s mother recently alleged that Lutfi is once again causing disruption for the artist and her family`s life."Shortly after Ms. Spears checked herself into a mental health facility, Lutfi began a new campaign of harassment against Ms. Spears and her family.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the last week alone, Mr. Lutfi has made dozens of disparaging and threatening comments on social media and in interviews," the filing claimed.The documents also claimed that Lutfi has been sending threatening texts to Britney`s mother Lynne Spears and has been posting "disparaging and threatening comments" on social media, which include calling for the public to "raise hell" to free Britney.<br />
<br />
He has been apparently instigating the star`s followers for the #freebritney movement. Fans concerned about the singer`s well-being used the hashtag on Twitter (making it a trend, too), especially after Britney checked into a mental health facility to help cope with her father, Jamie Spears` illness.<br />
<br />
In the documents, Britney`s lawyers have stated that Lutfi sent Lynne a text last week, calling her out for not getting involved in Britney`s conservatorship and decisions about the singer`s mental health treatment.They also claimed that Lutfi offered Lynne USD 1,000 to "disrupt and take over" the conservatorship. However, Lynne refused the money.<br />
<br />
The documents obtained also stated that Lutfi threatened them to release old personal items of the singer from when he was her manager in the early 2000s.<br />
<br />
Britney`s family has long blamed the ex-manager for taking the singer down the bad path that ended with her mental breakdown in 2008.The 37-year-old singer`s lawyers claimed that Lutfi`s recent activities have a negative effect on their client. They stated his "vigilante action, bribes and release of private information" is a clear attempt to derail the actions of the conservatorship.<br />
<br />
According to restraining order granted, Lutfi will have to discontinue his "disparaging public statements regarding Ms. Spears, her conservator, or her family or her manager." He would also be forbidden from coming within 200 yards of Britney, her sons, Jaden and Sean, her father, Jamie Spears, her sister Jamie-Lynne or her mother.<br />
<br />
He would also be banned from contacting them via phone, text or email.Britney returned home on April 26 after seeking treatment at a mental health facility for about a month. Her stay at the mental health facility was due to the family drama involving her father`s weakened health.<br />
<br />
In January, Britney announced that she was taking an indefinite break from work to support her father.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That little tab on the rear pocket of your Levi's jeans is now the subject of a lawsuit.</p>

<p>Levi Strauss & Co on Friday sued the French luxury house Kenzo, accusing the unit of LVMH of trademark infringement for putting tabs on its pants pockets, including in a new clothing line featuring singer Britney Spears.</p>

<p>The complaint filed with the US&nbsp;District Court in San Francisco, where Levi is based, said Kenzo's activities threaten to cause Levi to lose sales and suffer "incalculable and irreparable damage" to its goodwill and confuse shoppers.</p>

<p>Kenzo did not immediately respond to requests for comment after business hours. A lawyer for the Paris-based company could not immediately be located.</p>

<p>Levi said it has put distinctive tabs bearing its name, in the form of folded cloth ribbons, in the seams of its pants pockets since 1936, to provide "sight identification" for its products.</p>

<p>It said Kenzo has not complied with its cease-and-desist letters to stop selling its own clothing bearing similar tabs, including in its "Kenzo presents Britney Spears-La Collection Memento No&nbsp;2" line launched last month.</p>

<p>The complaint quoted Leo Christopher Lucier, Levi's national sales manager in 1936, as having said "no other maker of overalls can have any other purpose in putting a coloured tab on an outside patch pocket, unless for the express and sole purpose of copying our mark, and confusing the customer."</p>

<p>Levi is seeking to recoup lost profits, compensatory and punitive damages, and halt further infringements.</p>

<p>The case is Levi Strauss & Co v Kenzo Paris USA LLC et al, US&nbsp;District Court, Northern District of California, No&nbsp;18-02106.</p>

Assraf Nasir is a flight attendant on AirAsia who is now the latest internet sensation

Remember Britney Spears in her chartbuster music video “Toxic”? The song gained worldwide recognition after its release in 2004 and remained on the top charts in several countries. But why are we talking about it now? Assraf Nasir, a flight attendant on the Malaysian carrier AirAsia, mimics the popular pop singer’s moves from her "Toxic" music video and nails it. In a tweeted video, Nasir is seen showing his well rehearsed dance moves in the aisle of an Airbus A330. He is seen singing into the intercom, pushing a food trolley and behaving like a total diva. A Toxic performance on A330 by @AssrafNasir. Cc @britneyspears ???????? pic.twitter.com/xoRksL1DZw — huski ??
