Britney Update: Her Dad Gets Legal Control

On Friday afternoon a judge appointed Britney Spears' father, Jamie, and lawyer Andrew Wallet conservators, giving them control of the singer's affairs until Monday, Feb. 4.

Britney's mother Lynne "showed up to the courtroom looking somber with her hair covering her face and her head down," says an eyewitness. "Jamie looked very worried."

As conservators, Jamie and Wallet will be able to manage Britney's estate and financial affairs, hire 24 hour security at her home and cancel credit cards — and return that brand new black Mercedes if they want to. They also won access to Britney's medical records and the right to speak to her doctors.

Sam Lutfi has also been barred from seeing Britney. The judge approved a restraining order against Lutfi — he may not go to her home, or the hospital or be given any access to her at all until Feb. 21.

Another hearing is set for 1:30 pm on Monday.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Britney has been classified as Gravely Disabled, or "G.D." The label means a person is unable to provide for his or her own basic personal needs for food, clothing or shelter and could be a candidate for involuntary commitment.
