Britney Spears, Out of Control

She's quietly crazy.

Britney's Being Pulled in Too Many Directions

Britney Spears is having trouble keeping it together because her father Jamie has put too tight of a leash on her, reports say. The comeback queen might not be all she seems, insiders say, since she's been having trouble processing exactly what's going on in her life.

Jamie, Britney's dad, is said to guard her so closely that she's actually lost track of what day it is, as well as the actual time (what?). Word has it that Britney's floating in and out of reality, with barely a bearing on the real world:

"She is so out of it she just doesn't care anymore. She just does what she's told and is totally in her world. She'll even call people at all hours of night for a general conversation and acts like it's the middle of the day or something."

Jamie's been careful to keep Britney from bad influences, but others say he's going too far. One source said that Britney's staff has been fired systematically to keep her from finding someone to lean on.

"Britney's family has seen what happens when she gets too close to outsiders and they lose control, they don't want it happening again," spilled the source.
