Britney Spears’ overbearing father has banned the pop star from leaving her Los Angeles home without a bra, The Sun claimed in a report on Friday.

Former chef Jamie Spears – who has legal control over all Spears’ affairs – fears his troubled daughter is getting close to the brink again and has imposed a host of new rules on the “Womanizer” singer to help keep her in line. First order of business: “Put a bra on.”

Papa Spears is none to pleased about recent photographs of Britney — which almost always seem to feature guest appearances by her nipples — that have popped up on the blogosphere as of late. Jamie, 57, has allegedly threatened to fire one of the 28-year-old’s security guards who has let her be photographed bra-less several times in recent weeks.

“Jamie’s control over Britney’s life is incredible,” a chatty pal blabbed to the English rag. “He hates the pictures of her with her nipples all over the place so he has banned her from leaving the house without a bra. He wants her to put across the right impression.”
