Spears may regain control of finances by year-end

Britney Spears could be in charge of her own finances again by the end of the year.

The ‘Womanizer’ hitmaker – who suffered from a very public meltdown in 2007 resulting in her being hospitalised in January 2008 – has had her personal and professional affairs controlled by her father Jamie Spears since 2008 when a judge ruled he and lawyer Andrew Wallet should be made co-conservators of her business affairs.
