Britney's dad wants her locked up

We're certain that Jamie Spears, father of Britney, has his daughter's best interests at heart when he calls for her to be committed - it's for her own good:

A source close to Jamie - who Britney refuses to speak to after accusing him of cashing in on her fame - said: “He is consulting lawyers about the best way to help Britney.

"He feels they need to stage an intervention to get her into rehab or some kind of therapy.

“He is worried she is going to harm herself or the boys.

“Jamie is also concerned about her wild lifestyle. She is spending money like it is going out of fashion - checking into hotels when she has two homes in LA.

“He feels she should be putting the money aside for her kids.”

Lawyers staging an intervention? Since when did getting in a big circle and making someone already struggling feel even more shit about their life become a legal mechanism?

Of course, we're sure that this really is about doing what is best for Britney and her money. Especially the money. Sorry, did we say money? We meant children, of course.
