![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Sources tell TMZ the Britney Spears conservatorship was extended not because Brit is on a downhill spiral, but because the court commissioner wants to ensure stability, given all the craziness.
As we first reported, Jamie Spears will be in control of Brit and her personal affairs through July 31. The commissioner extended the conservatorship yesterday in a closed hearing. We've learned Brit's mental state was not a factor in extending it. The real concern is that another wacky motion might be filed to derail the conservatorship and the commissioner didn't want some outside lawyer swooping in if the conservatorship were to expire.
Sources also tell us Jamie Spears wants to end the conservatorship before July 31 if his daughter's mental state improves. The commish was impressed that things have already stabilized.

I would think she needs babysitting the rest of her life. The minute the dad is out of the picture, she would relapse into insanity. Can the dad babysit her forever?
Prepare for a virus - full speed ahead! That's what is waiting for you at these millionaire sites. Are you stupid enough to be tricked by their cleverly worded attempt at fooling you?

Nice burn on Scam Lutfi! I can't wait to see him in jail! I am NOT a Twit fan, but this guy and his group are human dog crap on the shoes of society!
wasted days and wasted nights:
I am pulling for Britney but those googlie shades don't make her look like the smart girl in class. She needs some Tina Fey intervention :)
SHE DOESNT HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBL SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS SO WHY GROW UP
I love the fact that she's starting all over again on her road to insanity- by taking dancing classes. Honey, that's what started the whole thing! Your bad choreography and bubblegum pop! Give it up.
And stop referring to yourself as "baby"- that's really creepy.
Nice Page Six article! Not all is 'perfect in Twitland!:
Britney Spears Britney Spearsâ visits with her kids have been emotional for the whole family. Sean Preston has been sleeping in the same room as father Kevin Federline lately because heâs been having nightmares.
According to insiders, Preston, 2, also cried for his dad at first when Britney picked them up, but Kevin soothed him and he settled down.
âJamie told Kevin that Britney handled the visit well. She actually did cry, but that was only because Sean cried when she took them from Kevin,â says the insider.
Britney has her own way of trying to soothe her sons. "Britney always sings to them. She loves lullabies. In fact, before the split, both Britney and Kevin sang to the boys every night."
The boys are said to be confused when it comes to their mom, which is another reason why either Jamie Spears or a psychologist is present during the visits.
âJamie plays with them and keeps them busy. They enjoy their grandfather, so it makes the time easier,â says the source.
Part of the problem is that Britney treats her sons more like dolls than children. "She dresses them for show and tell," says the insider. "She likes to show them off, but not give them the nurturing they need. I understand she is working on this part of her motherhood with her psychiatrist."
Other sources tell us that the kids are said to be playing a "pivotal role in her progress."
"Brit has expressed interest in becoming closer to the boys. Kevin hopes she is talking from her heart."
The singer is also said to be terrified of going back into the hospital and made a deal with her family to try to make the home visits and periodic outpatient visits work. If they do, then no hospital.
Adds the insider: âIt all depends on how she does each time and how the boys are when they get home after visiting her.â
Meanwhile, sources tell us that Britney could get up to three visits per week with her kids now that she has new attorney Stacy Phillips on her side. "The No. 1 goal is for Britney to regain routine visitation with the kids progressing to a mutually agreed upon custody arrangement between Kevin and Britney and averting a custody trial," says the insider.
Takes at least six months to undo what was created over a two-year period of time! Britney's blessed her parents stepped in before it was too late for her (never forget the dead ANS saga, her son's early death, and the two despicable snakes who have her monies in the name of her daughter)!
The extension surprises me that the conservatership is extended if her mental state is not a consideration. This seems that it could be construed as a violation of her civil rights is she is menatally capable. Well anyway I think she is nuts and will nerver recover, being a child star probably had a lot to do with it. One day when the responsiblilites are given back to her she will probably revert back to her old ways unless she changes her habits and beliefs.
