A California judge has ordered an investigation into everybody who manages the financial affairs, medical care and personal life of Britney Spears.
The judge wants 'a thorough investigation of all the players' involved in maintaining the 37-year-old pop superstar's affairs, according to documents obtained by The Blast.
The news comes as the Toxic hitmaker's longtime manager Larry Rudolph says Spears 'should not be going back' to her hit Las Vegas residency, casting doubt that she will ever perform again.

The judge in Britney's case has ordered a probate court investigator to take a look at those overseeing the conservatorship, including her father Jamie Spears.
The conservatorship was enacted in 2008, following Britney's public 2007 breakdown and subsequent hospitalization.
Jamie has taken a lead role in overseeing Britney's affairs, however The Blast also reported that recently the singer's mother Lynne 'has been staying with the singer ever since she made a move to join the conservatorship and take a greater role in caring for her daughter'.
According to the gossip site, the court investigator will look at 'medical and financial records, including custody agreements and even contractual obligations … such as her Las Vegas residency.'

The report follows claims by Britney's longtime manager Larry Rudolph that the singer may never perform again amid her mental health battle.
The singer was scheduled to resume rehearsals for her Britney: Domination Las Vegas residency after rescheduling the concert earlier this year, but according to the former entertainment lawyer, Britney will not return to the stage.
Larry, 55, told TMZ: 'As the person who guides her career -- based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis -- from what I have gathered it's clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again.'

He also told Variety that the Free Britney movement is not necessary: 'I understand how much these fans love her and support her and I love that,' said the manager.
'The part that concerns me is that it has no factual basis. The personal issues that Britney is dealing with are highly complicated and the conservatorship is there for a reason. The courts of the State of California take this very seriously. I hope the people allow her to have her private time.'
He also said that he knows her very well as he has managed the pop siren for decades - from 1998 to 2004 and 2008 to present.
'I’ve been with her for two-thirds of her life,” Larry continued. 'I look at her almost like I look at my own daughter. It’s very emotional for me … and really rough. Personally, I want for her to just find a peaceful, happy place - whatever that means for her. It’s not about a career anymore - it’s about life.

'[Britney] is the one whose focus is on on [getting better]. She’s driving it,' Larry told the publication.
He added: 'Let her be a civilian for a while. She's given so much. Give her time.'
Britney's string of performances in Las Vegas were scheduled to premiere on February 13, with 32 shows planned through August 17, but was postponed on January 4 amid her struggles with mental health.
MailOnline has contacted Britney's representatives for further comment.
The news will no doubt come to a surprise to her loyal fanbase, as the Baby One More Time hitmaker has been regarded as an icon in the industry for over 20 years.

Following her career as a child star on The Mickey Mouse Club, Britney transformed into the much-praised Princess of Pop, after her first two studio albums, Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), dominated the music charts.
In February 2007, the award-winning singer checked into various drug rehabilitation facilities after she brazenly shaved her head with electric clippers amid her mental health battle.
While work for the star continued throughout that year, Britney's much-publicized personal issues overshadowed her professional life.
She went on to release a series of chart-topping albums, including Femme Fatale and Britney Jean, and even served as a judge on the US edition of The X Factor in 2012.

The following year, the Circus singer kicked off her Las Vegas concert residency Britney: Piece of Me, which saw her captivate audiences at the AXIS auditorium until December 2017.
The shocking news comes after the singer's ex-husband Kevin Federline revealed he wants her to show improvement before granting her more time with their two sons.
Britney and the 41-year-old former backup dancer, who were married from 2004 to 2007, share sons Sean, 13, and 12-year-old Jayden.
'Britney's immediate concern has been in having increased visitation time with her boys,' a source recently told US Weekly.

'Kevin won't allow the boys to spend more time with their mother until Britney is once again stable and therapeutic on medication. He allows the boys to spend time with Britney, but it's at his discretion,' the insider added.
The mother-of-two has been trying to break free from a court-approved conservatorship overseen by her 66-year-old father James Spears, days after leaving rehab.
He has controlled his daughter's finances under conservatorship since her infamous public breakdown in 2007.

The Toxic singer alleged her dad was responsible for having her committed to rehab during a court hearing last week.
She argued that under the rules of the conservatorship, James does not have the power to either commit her against her will or make her take prescription pills.
It was initially reported that Britney checked herself into a California wellness center after becoming 'distraught' over her father's health battle. James struggled with health issues after rupturing his colon last November.

The musician broke her social media silence about her mental health last month, where she insisted 'all is well'.
Mississippi native Britney took to Instagram to address her fans with a brief video clip in which she gave fans an update on her personal life, alongside a lengthy caption in which she gave further context to her situation.
She detailed: 'All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal. But don't worry I'll be back very soon.'
