Sam Lutfi might be Britney's In-N-Out provider, but her parents, Lynne and Jamie, wanna be the ones making the important decisions, which presumably extend beyond, "Do you want fries with that?" 

So, the two are headed to court this morning to establish conservatorship, a drastic step that would allow them to make medical and financial decisions on Britney's behalf.

Lynne's also fighting against the rumor mill, speaking exclusively to E!'s Ryan Seacrest on Friday to set the record straight on several points.

For instance, she says she wants to make it clear that Britney's wealth has nothing to do with this—despite Sam's allegation that she and Papa Spears are more concerned with "money and their own image than Britney's condition."

Lynne also tells Ryan her main focus is her daughter's well-being and that she just wants Britney to get better. She said she is doing everything she can and sees her role as mom to a child who clearly needs help.

One of Lynne's greatest concerns now, she tells Ryan, is that all the drama is going to divert attention from the real issue...Britney's health.

Seems like that issue got sidetracked a long time ago.
