Spears father 'leaves star isolated'

Britney Spears has reportedly been feeling "out of it" due to the control her father Jamie is exerting over her.

Sources close to the singer have claimed that his commanding ways are leaving her isolated and cut off from the world.

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

Of Jamie's actions, they added: "He's really trying to clean up her image. He's making a lot of changes to the people around her. Everyone is a bit on edge they could be the next one to be replaced.

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