Britney's been scheming

Remember Britney Spears' plan to go on a hunger strike to protest all of her dad's rules and gain a little bit of her freedom back? It didn't work :( -- but don't worry, she has another plan up her sleeve. She's going to allege that her dad -- a recovering alcoholic -- is drinking again and then take the evidence to court. Hooray! A close source told the National Enquirer:

"Britney is desperate to be released from her father Jamie's control. She wants to be able to act like an adult, but she says her father won't let her. And it infuriates her that everyone is giving Jamie credit for her hit song 'Womanizer' and for her looking so good again. Britney says she's worked her butt off for years, and her father has had nothing to do with her success.

"Britney wants to set up her dad and prove he shouldn't be in charge of her career decisions and money. Britney wants to take evidence to court that Jamie is drinking again. If the conservatorship is continued, her backup plan is to have her father replaced by her mother Lynne because she's less rigid." (Print Edition - 12/29)

Great idea. Get rid of the guy that turned your life/career around and replace him with the woman that nearly drove you to commit suicide. At this point, the courts could find out that Jamie's an alcoholic, womanizing, animal-abusing, heroin junkie who spends wayyyyy too much time at playgrounds for someone without a kid and they'd still rule that he's better suited as Britney's conservator than Lynne. Unfortunately for Britney, there's only one option she can pursue to make sure her father is no longer interested in controlling her life: go broke.
