Britney Spears is literally starving for freedom. The pop princess has been shooting back to superstardom under the wing of her father. However, she feels her life is too controlled and rumors of her constant depression and unhappiness are unwavering.

After her candid look behind the scenes in her latest documentary, “For the Record,” she spoke of her sadness and compared her life to being in prison. Her dad, Jamie Spears, runs everything in her from what she is allowed to do to how late she is allowed to be up. Britney is taking things into her own hands in effort to shed her father’s conservator status.

“Britney thinks that if she doesn’t eat much she will lose weight, then people will notice, then she thinks she will get to make her own decisions once again,” says a source, who adds, “She reckons she is better now so fails to see why her dad is still meddling in her life. So she has decided that she will protest by not eating. She has been told to eat but is refusing so is starting to look very skinny indeed. But then that is what she is hoping to achieve.”

Meh…it worked for Gandhi right?
