So how is this twenty-seven year old mother of two making her way back from her absolutely, bottom-out, completely public, mental breakdown?
With rules set and enforced by papa Jamie. Check out these supposed rules allegedly set by her Dad:
Rule 1 - No Drinking - Britney, once a heavy partier, now has only an occasional glass of champagne. But Dr. Drew Pinsky of VH1s Celebrity Rehab tells Life & Style, "If she's an addict, drinking any alcohol is not a good idea."
Rule 2 - Always Have a Chaperone - Jamie no longer sleeps at Britney's house, the report claims, but he does insist on accompanying her everywhere - to both social and work events.
Rule 3 - No E-Mail - Britney can text and make calls on her BlackBerry, but Jamie does not allow her to send e-mails from it, says a family friend.
Rule 4 - She Gets an Allowance - The report claims that to help conserve her reported $120 million fortune and teach her about spending responsibly, Britney's dad gives her $1,500 a month in spending money. Brit also has limited use of her American Express card for special purchases.
Rule 5 - Friends Need Approval - Jamie has veto power over every person Britney socializes with in order to keep negative forces.
Rule 6 - No Getting Behind the Wheel - The report claims that even though the accident-prone singer has a driver's license, but she gets chauffeured. "Jamie's not comfortable with her driving," says the family friend. "He doesn't think she's calm enough to handle being on the road."
Is this overkill for a twenty-seven year old woman? It reads like a list one would make a wayward teen adhere to, but in some ways Britney never had normal "acting-out" teen years. Like Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, and other celebs who spent their entire life in the public eye, maybe some good old fashioned police-parenting is what the obviously immature needs.
What do you think: overkill or just right? Personally number six puts my mind at ease for all my friends that live in California.
