To be exact, ‘I feel like an old person now,’she says in Rolling Stone’s next issue, out Friday. ‘I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don’t go out or anything.’Indeed, the pop star has come a long way from her two trips to hospital psychiatric wards this year, the magazine says. After the last trip, in early February, her father, Jamie, filed for legal conservatorship so that he and attorney Andrew Wallet would oversee her finances and personal affairs.

Rolling Stone said reporter Jenny Eliscu interviewing the popstar is a ‘rigorously micromanaged process’ — She adds: ’We were never left alone together, and my questions had to be submitted ahead of time for approval,’

Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph also says a bit about Britney on the issue:’Her job is to be Britney Spears, and unfortunately, that job bleeds into her personal life and creates this odd situation where she needs to have security people around her all the time’

Britney also spoke about her love life problems and she turns serious when the topic is her children.Despite losing custody of her sons, Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, Spears has been able to see them more often, thanks in part to the conservatorship, She says: ‘Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they’re such special people,’ she says.

Spears also criticize ex-husband Kevin Federline, in one of the quotes, she says her children are starting to speaking words like ’stupid’ and Sean Preston already pronounces ‘fu**’ — ‘[...]he doesn’t get it from us.He must get it from his dad.I say it, but not around my kids.’
