Britney Spears - Britneys Conservatorship Appeal Rejected
A Los Angeles court has rejected BRITNEY SPEARS' latest appeal to overturn the conservatorship awarded to her father in February (08).
Jamie Spears was given control of his daughter's private affairs on 1 February (08) after the troubled pop star was admitted to hospital for a mental health evaluation.
The singer's father has since reportedly quit his job as a caterer to tend to his daughter's financial and personal matters - a role he shares with court-appointed observer Andrew Wallet.
Last month (May08), Jamie's conservatorship appointment was extended until 31 July (08).
Britney has challenged this, but a California appellate court has ruled that the motion was not filed with correct procedures and therefore the appeal was denied.

Most folk know Pat DiNizio for the dark, British Invasion-influenced college john Rock of his longtime group the Smithereens. Few might too think his 1997 solo album. The new millennium found DiNizio in some unexpected roles, nevertheless -- portion as a software engineer for satellite wireless, task a solo tour in which he played at people's homes, and most amazingly, unveiling a failed just quite a life-threatening campaign for the Senate.
DiNizio and the Smithereens number one rosiness to prominence in the '80s. After playing in several groups, DiNizio decided to form his own combo. He hooked up with three young New Jersey natives -- Dennis Diken (drums), Jim Babjak (guitar), and Mike Mesaros (bass) -- wHO had played together in high school. The Smithereens released several EPs in the early '80s to mild achiever and played as a supporting band on the oldies circuit. Finally, afterward being gestural to Enigma, the grouping released their 1986 debut LP Peculiarly for You. The record album enjoyed moderate achiever, peculiarly with the college securities industry, on the strength of the ill, Beatlesque crop up of the single "Bloodline and Roses." 1988's Green Thoughts adage the mathematical group ford over into major markets with the hit single "But a Memory." The followup, 11, saw a career peak with the Top 40 success of the crunch-heavy "A Girl Like You."
Even so, with the parousia of such phenomena as grunge and Nirvana in the early '90s, the Smithereens faded from public cognisance. The grouping continued cathartic albums end-to-end the '90s, including a 1998 best-of and 1999's God Save the Smithereens; even so, they never came remotely close to their old success. (The band continued to play concerts to a sizable cult next well into the 2000s.) In 1997, DiNizio released his solo debut, Songs and Sounds, on Velvel Records, recruiting a batting order that included J.J. Burnel of the Stranglers; Sonny Fortune, a one-time saxophone player for Miles Davis; and Tony Smith, a former Lou Reed drummer.
In 2000, DiNizio made a bid for an open New Jersey Senate seat. He ran as a Reform Party campaigner, with a hunting expedition featuring a rhinoceros mascot and a platform that john Drew quotes from Harry Truman, Albert Camus, and Ghandi. Not surprisingly, DiNizio was only able-bodied to garner one percent of the votes. A documental, Mr. Smithereen Goes to Washington, took a plainspoken appear at the rock star's Senate offer. That same year, DiNizio came up with a unparalleled touring conception: for $2,000, he would push his van to a fan's house, drop off his guitar and a keg of beer, and act Smithereens requests for a private audience. He logged several yard miles and crossed the land on this enterprise. Early in the unexampled millenary, DiNizio as well began programing XM Satellite Radio, which championed unsigned artists from a change of genres. In 2007, he released his self-titled one-third solo album.
Paul Weller: 'I Have No Regrets About Splitting up The Jam'
'Former 'The Jam' frontman Paul Weller says he has no regrets about splitting up the band -- and has repeated his distaste for the current reunion without him.
The band, whose hits include That's Entertainment and Going Underground, split in 1982 at Weller's behest, but drummer Rick Buckler and bassist Bruce Foxton recently formed a new version of the group, From The Jam, with a different singer.
But Weller, 50, says there is no going back for him.
He explains, "It was the right thing to do. It was an artistic decision, without sounding poncey. I didn�t want to be in the same set up for the rest of my life. I like to change and move on.
"Do I miss it? No, not particularly," he tells British radio station BBC 6 Music. "I quite like what today is. It was a lot of pressure, being that kind of spokesman for a generation.
"Whether it was my own fault for setting myself up or not, I don�t know, but it was a lot of pressure for a young man. I certainly didn�t miss that."
Paul, who has enjoyed solo success with songs like Wild Wood and You Do Something To Me, added he would not be attending his old bandmates shows any time soon.
"I�m not mad about the idea, It�s a bit cabaret to me," he explained. "I thought we were against all that."
