Conservationship to end?

Britney may soon be free from her conservatorship, according to TMZ.com.

"Jamie Spears will ask the court to review the terms of the conservatorship after her concert tour ends in November. Jamie can't ask the judge to end it -- just to review it. The judge then decides if Britney should regain control of her life."

Jamie feels Britney is ready to be on her own, says the site.

Woop woop!

Swedish Press boycott Circus over censorship argument

Thanks to Breatheheavy:

A prominent portion of the Swedish press have plans to boycott Britney's upcoming "Circus" show in Stockholm, Sweden, according to new reports.

Jamie Spears' camp demands photographers at the show sign a contract that gives them the copyright to the pictures, allowing the option to sell the photos as well as choose what ones are published.

"'If we don’t sign the contract we are not allowed to take photos,' says Dagens Nyheters’ head of photography, Roger Turesson (DN is the biggest newspaper in Sweden)."

According to the source, the contract vendors must sign is "very detailed."
quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- "No pictures from the concert can be published after 30 days.
- No pictures can be sold forward, that pictures that the organizer sees as offensive to the artist can not be published.
- And that Spears gets the ownership to the pictures that they like."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The demands from concert organizers grow all the time. Before we agreed not to sell the pictures forward to posters and the like but this we cannot accept, Turesson says."

Two large tabloids in Stockholm, Expressen and Aftonbladet, are boycotting coverage of the concert as well.

"Picture agencies are not overall welcome to the concert as they would sell the pictures forward."

"Overall we should boycott the concert as a whole, and not write about the concert at all. That’s what they did in Germany and the contract was quickly waived, said Mans Brunius of picture agency Scanpix."

"It has happened before that the organizer has waived the contract in Sweden. It is possible that there is a solution but it depends on them, says Roger Turesson."

AEG Live, Britney's concert organizer, claim they only forward the contract given from Britney's management, as "they own the right."

"I think it’s just as sad every time that I have to send out one of these contracts. I’m doing everything I can to get rid of them, says Louise Vanerell, the publicist for AEG Live."

Jamie Spears bans alcohol at tour

From The Sun:

VIP guests at BRITNEY SPEARS' O2 gig were left fuming, and parched, after the troubled star's dad banned alcohol in any area that she may pass through. Instead of the usual glasses of chilled bubbly, Access All Areas ticket holders are being handed bottles of WATER behind the scenes in a bid to keep the troubled star away from booze while on tour.

Britney's family have issued the blanket ban on any areas that the star might pass through on her way from dressing room to stage - and staff have been asked to sign contracts promising that no booze will be available. A source at the venue says: "Following her problems with alcohol, Britney [or rather, her father who maintains control of all her affairs and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars off his daughter every year] had requested that everywhere backstage is alcohol free.

"Her family is monitoring the situation very carefully and we've been made to sign contracts promising not to drink or allow any of the VIP guests to have alcohol in any of the backstage areas that Britney could use. "It is very important to Britney that she doesn't see anybody drinking in her presence." A gig goer, who purchased the AAA ticket, told The Sun: "Although I respect Britney's wishes, I was desperate for a drink myself. It certainly put a dampener on the night."

meanwhile, (also from The Sun)

A source said: "Britney went to Maddox nightclub after her O2 gig on Saturday night and left just before 12.30am. "It seemed odd that she wanted to be surrounded by people drinking considering her father had imposed such strict restrictions while on tour.

Jamie's controlling ways will almost certainly come back to bite him soon. The irony is, as The Mirror reports:

He says: "One time Jamie was drunk and tried to drive off with Britney in the car. She was no more than five years old. "I tried to stop him, so I reached into the truck to grab the keys from the ignition and he punched me. We got right into it there by the car, fighting in front of her. "Britney was jumping up and down, crying. Lynne had to run out to get her inside... "Another time I was at the house and Jamie walked in drunk and called Lynne a bad name. She was in the kitchen drinking water and he grabbed the glass, walked into the lounge and just hurled it. It was rough, but the sad thing is that it became normal life."
