In a major victory for Britney Spears, a judge on Wednesday suspended the singer's father from the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money for 13 years, saying the arrangement "reflects a toxic environment." "It reflects a toxic environment which requires the suspension of James Spears." James Spears sought the conservatorship in 2008 and had been its primary controller and biggest champion. The judge set the next court hearing for Nov. 12, when she will likely rule to end the conservatorship. Britney Spears's father, James, left, leaves a Los Angeles courthouse in March 2008.
