Celebrity Justice
Brit's Conservators Can Shut Down Sam

The conservators who were appointed to manage Britney's assets have broad authority, including changing the locks to her house and keeping out anyone they want -- we're guessin' that's Sam Lutfi.

The judge granted the conservators -- Jamie Spears and a lawyer co-conservators -- have the power to hire 24-hour security at her house, access her medical records and communicate with treating physicians.

They also have the power to make any decisions on her behalf, and can revoke any contracts she may have made recently -- which might include the new Mercedes she just bought.

16. This Britney drama is so reminiscent of Mariah Carey back in 2001. From Diva to Diva.

17. ^5 to the judge!!!! good job!! now pack up that bunch that leeches off her and clean out the house while shes in the hospital and get her on the road to recovery. sounds like a plan to me. or maybe move her back to the south for a good while for her to re-coop? get her away from all the paps and leeches? what do yall think?

19. Good for them. Good for the judge appointing a lawyer as a conservator as well. Hopefully she'll begin to heal from all this.

20. FINALLY!!! I can't wait to see what Osama tries to do now. I hope he publicly humiliates himself some more before he goes away.

21. Why would Kaplan need to get a hold of her medical reoords? And why would he leak them to the public? He would lose his license to practice law in about 10 seconds flat. Not only that, but he has plenty of dirt on Britney throughout these custody proceedings, and he hasn't leaked any of it, nor has K-Fed sold his stories for the millions they're worth.

23. Yeah for her Dad, let's just pray for this family.
Also, let's look into criminal charges againts this Sam maggot. There has to be some law against hoodwinking the mentally ill. And please ,mental illness is no more a moral choice than diabetes or cancer. Time to stop finger pointing and let this family and Brittany heal.

24. To all you Britards that think this is about getting a hold of her money, a conservator is a fiduciary people, and that means the conservator has a legal duty to act in the best interests of the subject (i.e. Britney). If either conservator attempted to do any self-dealing (which means to get rich off Britney) they would be in some serious trouble.

What do you want them to do? Let her crazy @ss spend, spend, spend until there's nothing left to get her help and nothing left for her kids? Seriously.

25. Hurrah! so glad they did this... but why Jamie Lynn? I guess it has its good and bad... I mean on one hand she is a little pregnant girl, but at the same time other than that so far she has done ok with her life AND more importantly I think Brit will be comfortable with her being in that position as opposed to her father or even her mom.

Just so glad that Leechy Lufti is gone. I didn't think Adnan was sooo bad, comparitively. any word on if they will put an order on him would be nice. Maybe her parents and such will let him see her just so she can have a 'man' around..?

26. I agree get her out of Hollywood, city of jerks. If the Hospital leak her medical records that would be a big problem for them. Heads would roll and Drs. could lose their licened in that state.

27. I agree with Michelle, I am very happy that help is finally arrived for this very ill woman. It is long overdue for Britney and it is good to see Sam and the other sponges out of the picture. Kudos to the psychiatrist who had the balls to stand and deliver the help that Brit needed so desperately. I know Brits mom and dad will do the right thing and get their daughter on the road to recovery and just maybe a good and happy life. God bless the Spears family.

28. Lynn, when Brit is released from the hospital, take her home, let her recouperate there and keep her there so she can find the old Britney again. Hollywood will destroy her.

29. soupy sales...I didn't say Kaplan would I am saying things have leaked before to the media ...If this happens how would they find out who and what could be done about it... Yes in the past I have suspected Kaplan because Harvey finds out info that even cnn/msn/fox relies on him for...And named Harvey at tmz as their source.

30. I hate to say this because i've been such a loyal britney fan but yeah i think her parent's need to have control of her estate at this time. They need to return that black mercedes that she just purchased. And they need to return the house that she bought within the same week that you guys havent' reported on i just read the headline "Britney Spears Buys New House: Britney Spears Hermosa Beach Home $6 Million" I wish her luck.
