Britney Spears in fresh court bid to break free from dad
BRITNEY Spears is hoping to finally break her father's guardianship when a US judge rules on the pop star's future this week.
The Oops!...I Did It Again singer, 39, filed official court papers in Los Angeles to oust father Jamie, 69, and co-conservator Jodi Montgomery. It follows claims she was secretly recorded in her bedroom and her communications with her boyfriend and children were monitored by security agents hired by Jamie.
Jamie became his daughter's guardian in 2008, saying Britney had severe mental health and addiction issues.
In a court filing last month he said his control had saved her from "disaster".

Britney's lawyer Mathew Rosengart, who has called the alleged bugging of her home "inexcusable and disgraceful", filed papers on Friday demanding the appointment of a temporary conservator, which ousts Jamie.
Judge Brenda Penny is due to make initial decisions about Britney's future in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
But insiders have said it is unlikely she will allow Britney to regain control of her life without a series of medical evaluations.
