Britney’s Expensive New Year’s Bash
Will Britney Spears’ New Year’s Eve meltdown cost her $400,000?
Sources say Pure nightclub in Las Vegas wants to nix her almost half-million dollar appearance fee, after she violated the contract. “Britney failed to spend the agreed amount of time in the club, because she had to be helped out after collapsing,” alleges a close source.
The tipster also says the club is “furious” with her because of her PR spin that she merely fell asleep — implying the place is boring.
Britney’s rep dismissed the story. A club mouthpiece insisted her remuneration was “less than half” of $400,000 and that she wasn’t penalized for leaving early. “Britney had a great time,” said the spokeswoman. “We love her and can’t wait for her to come back.”
But an insider familiar with the club says: “The moment a celebrity gets into one of those deals they are on the clock. They are watched to the minute, and they are not allowed to leave early. It’s a contractual obligation.”

OK, first, are they bird-watching? And what’s with that pouty lip?
If I were paid that much to go out and party, I would party and not stop until they gave me the check. Sheesh. It’s not like partying is hard. Unless you party hard.
Har har har.

Passed out or just asleep…I’m just happy she’s wearing panties again.

I do not understand. After her being in the media for all the wrong reasons wouldn’t she want to make a good impression once in a while to mix it up. If you are a celebrity or not if you are getting paid for something you are on the hour. If I was her I do not think I would drink an ounce just to make a good impression and to make a good impression. I am a model and I sometimes make $150 an hr or more and that is way less than she may or may not get paid for and I take my work very seriously. I second Jenny with happy she is wearing panties though.

Jayleigh: I think she was watching fireworks.
Jenny: The panties. It’s ALL about the panties.
Babylinda: She was paid over $300k to host that party. You’re right: you’d think that she’d make an awesome impression.
