It's been reported that celebrities including Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton and even Justin Timberlake are setting up a legal fund to help end Britney Spears's conservatorship. It comes after a judge refused Britney's request to end her father's conservatorship – which gives him legal control over most of her financial and personal movements that she has called "abusive" and likened to "sex trafficking" – on 1st July. The conservatorship has been in place since 2008.
