Through all these BRITNEY SPEARS issues we haven’t heard from the one voice that REALLY matters. Until now. KEVIN FEDERLINE has finally spoken. And he wants whatever’s best for Britney. His lawyer issued a statement saying, “It doesn’t matter how positive of an effect a conservatorship has had if it’s having a detrimental effect on her state of mind . . .”Kevin feels that the best thing for his children is for their mother to be happy and healthy.” (Britney and Kevin have two sons, 15-year-old Sean and 14-year-old Jayden.) Britney’s sister JAMIE LYNN also spoke out. She said she supports Britney in WHATEVER she wants to do . . . and she made it clear she’s not living off her conservatorship. She said, quote, “I have nothing to gain or lose either way. This situation does not affect me either way, because I’m only her sister who’s only concerned about her happiness.”
