Elton John's Got Britney's Back (And So Does Daddy)

 

THE BRITNEY ECONOMY IS TANKING, THANKS to her daddy, Jaime Spears, who is keeping her under house arrest and away from the paps who were minting money as the star fell before their electronic eyes.

Gone are the snaps of her private parts, her ripped leggings, her messy hair extensions. Now encouraging news comes through polite commentary released by Kevin Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, the best news being that Brit has seen her sons twice since this past weekend, according to People. Seems Kaplan works well with Brit's daddy.

Meanwhile, a lawsuit claiming Brit's civil rights are being violated by the co-conservatorship appointed by the Los Angeles Superior Court has been tossed out of federal court. Attorney Jon Eardley had tried to have the conservatorship case transferred to federal courts, but U.S. District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez sent the case packing. "Mr. Eardley had no authority to remove the case from state court. He is neither a party nor a defendant," Gutierrez wrote in his ruling. But Eardley has said Britney hired him on February 12, and that the last time they spoke the phone was taken from her, the phone then disconnected.

Jamie Spears was handed control of his daughter's reported $100 million estate in January after Brit was hospitalized twice for poor mental health. I'm no big fan of Jamie and Lynn Spears, and who can say what is really going on in Brit's house or mind. But I do think the dimmed switch of the limelight is a step toward her regaining sanity.

Even the media says it's time to give Brit a break, albeit the mea culpa comes late, after the peephole has already been shut.

And more good news! The BCDL -- or the Britney Celebrity Defense League for those new to this site -- has a new member: Sir Elton John was quoted last weekend saying he's rooting for the singer. "She doesn't deserve this,'' he said, although adding, "The only person that can help Britney is herself...As much as she's going through, it's horrible and I hope she comes through it. If I could do anything, I would." Here's a tip, Elton: Flowers would be lovely!
