Spears to remain in father's care :

Britney Spears' father will retain control over the singer's affairs until the end of the year, says a US court.
James Spears was granted control of his daughter's assets in February after she was admitted to a psychiatric ward.
The Los Angeles court also heard that Ms Spears did not want to extend a restraining order against her former manager, Osama "Sam" Lutfi.
James Spears' lawyer said a "private agreement" had been reached with Mr Lutfi, and no court action was needed.
Neither the singer nor her father were in court for Thursday's hearing.
