"Jamie and Lynne feel she's so close to cracking the big time again that they don't want anything to get in her way," says a supposed family friend. "They're desperate to ensure that it won’t happen again. Their worst nightmare is that she gets involved with someone else who’s just trying to use her for her money or to further their own career."

Perhaps this explains Britney's recent interest in more wholesome diversions. But given Lynne's previous allegations about her daughter's carnal tendencies, it really remains to be seen if she can go the whole six months.
