Britney Spears Conservatorship Appeal Rejected
Britney Spears’ appeal to overturn a conservatorship ruling that was awarded to her father has been rejected by a Los Angeles court.
Jamie Spears was given control of his daughter's private affairs on 1 February after the troubled pop star was admitted to hospital for a mental health evaluation.
The singer's father has since reportedly quit his job as a caterer to tend to his daughter's financial and personal matters, a role he shares with court-appointed observer Andrew Wallet.
Last month, Jamie's conservatorship appointment was extended until 31 July.
Britney has challenged this, but a California appellate court has ruled that the motion was not filed with correct procedures and therefore the appeal was denied.

Mischa Barton: It's All Gone Pear-Shaped!
Pictures of Mischa Barton sunbathing on an Australian beach showcasing her cursed cellulite-ridden thighs and butt prompted the actress to cover up for a red-carpet appearance - although hiding her bottom half in a rather unflattering pair of trousers was arguably an equally painful sight.
The 22-year old’s shocking cellulite snaps swept the internet, with many left in disbelief at her dimply legs, but why is she suffering from the dreaded orange peel syndrome at such a young age?
Well it can be caused by a bad diet high in fat, carbohydrates, salt, or too little fiber. Smoking, lack of exercise, tight clothes, high heeled shoes, and sitting or standing in a single position of long periods could also play a factor. We all know how much Mischa likes her skinny jeans and cigarettes!
Mischa has since said that she is not upset the dreaded pictures emerged, and made a public appearance at the 5th
Annual Candies Foundation 'Event To Prevent' Benefit, held at Cipriani in New York.
However, she hid her cottage cheese thighs under a pair of high-waisted trousers which brought attention to her hips for all the wrong reasons. We can’t decide which is worse, cellulite or bad fashion. What do you think?
