Spears' father takes over estate

Singer Britney Spears has had control of her estate and her own welfare taken from her, under order of a court.

The pop star and her assets have been placed under the "conservatorship" of her father, James Spears.

Ms Spears was admitted to a psychiatric hospital on Thursday, after a highly publicised descent into drink, drugs and personal problems.

A court creates a conservatorship when a person cannot care for himself or herself or handle their own affairs.

Court commissioner Reva Goetz said Spears would be under conservatorship until 4 February, when another hearing will be held.
