False alarm!
Britney Spears and her father Jamie Spears appeared in an L.A. court on Friday; many speculated that a judge might end Jamie's two-year legal conservatorship of his daughter.

The day's actual agenda: a used dress. The pop star's father had requested permission to handle the donation of a dress worn by Britney, 28, at the 2008 MTV awards -- to be sold to raise money for Haiti relief. Commissioner Reva Goetz approved the request. The court official also approved the disposal of "items that are longer useful to Ms. Spears or her estate."
The pop singer showed up in style: wearing a gray business jacket, tight black skirt and stilletos; smiling, she sported brown hair with blond highlights.

"She is perfectly satisfied with her daddy dealing with this property," said Sam Ingham, Britney's attorney. "She was very enthusiastic with the donation to Haiti relief."
The lawyer added: "We are looking forward to making progress with the conservatorship."

In January 2008, a court placed Spears under conservatorship of her father and an attorney, giving them complete control of her assets and other affairs. At the time, Spears' mental health had deteriorated alarmingly; she made erratic public appearances and fought bitterly with ex Kevin Federline over their two sons Sean and Jayden, now 5 and 4 respectively. Following a tense standoff with cops in Spears' home earlier in January, doctors put her under involuntary psychiatric hold twice, and she eventually lost custody of her sons.
What else does 2010 hold in store for Britney?
Since then, under her father's conservatorship, Spears has had an inspiring comeback with a smash album (Circus) and accompanying world tour and a seemingly happy, drama-free life that includes the calming influence of new boyfriend Jason Trawick.

I am closer to her mom's age but I have always hoped she would get to this point and bounce back and be okay. However, she seems to have gained A LOT of weight since the end of her tour, at least in this picture. I think the dress is a great idea and I am sure they have donated $ as well. The dress will go for more than it normally would because of proceeds going to Haiti. It's better than Jessica or Scarlett (can't recall which) auction themselves off as dates on eBay.
She is so cheap. Can't they donate money. I doubt her lousy dress will make a lot of money. What a joke!
Happy to hear she finally has her act together.
Oh, no big deal then! It was nice that a dress of hers was donated to help Haiti!
Love Britney! Wish her the best!
If she's ok with it, why did he have to go to court over the dress? Seems like a waste of money in court costs.
Her kids aren't that old... yet. Later this year they will be.
Thats soooo not right! no matter what bad things she has done, her fu*ked up dad has no right to be in charge of what she does!
She needs to let her Dad handle her business affairs. He seems to make the right decision which benefit her and her kids.
Love Britney! Pray she keeps moving forward!
