The people who think it's okay for a parent to be paid for "taking care" of his adult daughter who apparently has a "mental illness" are the same people who think it's okay to loot their parents savings accounts while they are in nursing homes.

And, for all you idiots how keep saying "I manage this persons estate....blah blah....." Jamie ISN'T managing Britney's estate he's not even taking care of her. He's using her money to pay people to do everything. He isn't doing anything other than sitting in LA making himself rich and making Britney hate him more than she did before. YOU may be running someone's estate but Jaime is not.

Britney's estate exists to server HER not her father, mother or even her children (yeah look up the law). If she wants to blow 2500 in bubble gum in a day that is her right. So what if she bought a car, a pool or spent a few hundred on new make up. That's pretty normal for a celebrity.

When did it become okay to take control of someone's life because they are bipolar. I know for a fact that it certainly isn't legal and how they got anyone with a degree to declare that she was GD is beyond me. She can't feed herself? Apparently every busy single person and college student with money should watch out if your greedy parents find out you're eating fast food or having your chef prepare your meals you're suddenly incapable of obtaining food. Incapable of finding shelter? Are you serious everyone with a computer can see that Britney managed to find one of her homes or an expensive hotel room every night. Did I miss the pictures of Britney sleeping in the Amtrak station or under an over pass? I'm pretty sure making sure you have a full household staff and a business manager to take care of everything so you don't doesn't make you GD on the contrary it just makes you lazy.

The fact that the first thing her loser dad did was take control not of her but her money shows what kind of person he really is.

212. your family is supposed to be ther for you without expecting to get payed. By the time everyone is done taking she will have nothing left. No wonder she is so messes up, if you can't trust your family who can you trust. leave the girls money alone and help her because you love her

213. It says he CAN draw the word being CAN. Life has gotten a lot better for her since her father has been involved, so even if he took the money it is worth it I am sure all these magazines just hate that her life isn't as terrible anymore for them to be able to make all their millions too.

214. Glad to hear this. I'd rather see the money go to him no matter what the judge allows him. Better in the long run. Al

215. I would say that money is for services rendered considering the services are keeping his daughter alive and the leeches off her body (Sam, her cousin, Adnan, the paps, etc...). Bravo....I would imagine any time spent with Britney is well worth it's weight in platinum and the insanity one would experience in her company would be priceless ***pay him MORE***.

216. "7. I feel so terrible for her! Everyone just treats her like she is a walking bank account. Leave her alone! She needs people in her life that arent out for her money, and will be good role models for her."

...Umm, not that I have experience, but YOU try being Britney's father for a week. At 26, she should be taking care of herself, but it has been deemed by the courts that she needs help doing so (thus the conservatorship). Mr. Spears has a life and business of his own that he must take time off from in order to help his daughter, thus, he's losing money. It's only fair that he be compensated, and $2,500 a week for Britney? That's chump change. Sure, he wasn't forced to be named conservator, and sure, it was a request he made, the reason he made that decision is because he could see that he was the only stable person in Britney's life that would put their foot down and be stern with her in order to help her.

It seems that when anyone else in Britney's life tries to offer a ray of rationality they are struck down, told to shut up, and are drop kicked. A conservatorship prevents her from doing this, and at least attempts to curb the self-destructiveness.

217. $2,500 a week is cheap for the poor guy. Britney's dad has two screwed up daughters and needs some cash to support himself where he can keep a leash on the two daughters. Dad has Britney who has a boatload of mental health issues and then the younger daughter who cannot keep her little legs closed. Watching out for those two bimbos is a full time job!!

218. I think conservators in any state are entitled to be compensated IF the person they are conserving has ANY money. Even the Executor of a will normally gets 10% of the estate. It takes a LOT of time & energy to take care of someone. I doubt that her father will take every thing he is entitled. I think he got tired early on of trying to steer Brittany clear. But all she wanted was fame. Her mother & father sacrificed a lot to let her chase her dream & she seems to have forgotten she would be nothing without them. The best thing for Brittany is having her family around. She makes one bad mistake after another! She doesn't have very good judgement. I think the only thing her parents care about is helping her. And I think the ONLY people on the entire planet that would take care of her if she had NO money would be her parents! Who took care of her BEFORE she had moeny? Not Lufti or Adnan or Kevin.

219. Awave....You are so RIGHT......Who took care of Britney when she had no money? Her parents & her parents are the only ones who would be there again if she had no money. The people who think she is being treated so badly because her father is keeping her sheltered & away from the vultures are just people who are weak & spineless themselves.
