Britney Spears

By now, you've probably heard the distressing news:

Photos of Justin Timberlake holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright have been making the rounds online, and they don't bode well for the future of JT's marriage to Jessica Biel.

For about 12 years, now, Britney Spears' life has been under her dad's control, to the continuing horror of her countless fans.

There was a time in 2007 when she was so micro-managed that she did the one thing that she could to take back control: she shaved her head.

Millions of fans rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is out as Britney's conservator. For now, her personal life will be managed by another.

Britney's mom has been fighting in court to wrest control from Jamie so that she can look after her daughter's affairs.

Any true fans of Britney Spears rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is no longer her conservator (for now).

But many have hoped that he'll be brought to justice over an alleged attack on Britney's son Sean Preston.

Britney's legions of devoted fans are celebrating that her tyrranical dad Jamie Spears is no longer her conservator ... for now.

But at the moment, Britney herself has something much more personal to celebrate.

Britney Spears has been with super hot boyfriend Sam Asghari for about three years now, and fans are starting to wonder, are they are ever going to tie the knot? 

For Sam, that's an easy question as he recently said he "absolutely" sees the "Toxic" singer as his wife one day. 

Days ago, Britney Spears' doctor abruptly died -- just weeks before the court hears vital testimony about her psychiatric treatments.

When we reported this, we also mentioned that Jamie Spears may lose his conservatorship after allegations of child abuse.

After the frightening allegation of child abuse made public last week, fans hope that Jamie Spears will lose his convservatorship over Britney.

But even as it looks like his tyrranical rule will come to an end, another complication has come up in the battle for Britney's freedom.

On Tuesday, it became public knowledge that Kevin Federline accused Jamie Spears of child-abuse, alleging that he assaulted one of his own grandsons.

Britney and Kevin agreed to a new custody arrangement for the time being, giving Kevin more time with the boys to keep them out of Jamie's clutches.

... and, just like that, Britney Spears' new hair color doesn't seem like a very big deal any longer.

Not after multiple outlets have confirmed Kevin Federline recently accused his former father-in-law of child abuse.

Britney Spears has had a busy year, and none of it has had to do with her music.

Her 30-day stint in a mental wellness facility left fans with unanswered questions, and now Britney's court case is drawing more and more attention.
