Britney Courthouse Update;
Britney Gets $1500/ Week Allowance

britneyjamiecourt031008.jpg

Here's the news!

Britney Spears will now be receiving a credit/debit card where she can spend $1500 a week... ya know, of her own money. So it's kind of like she's paying herself, out of her own pocket, while her dad Jamie Spears gets $2500/week.

Commissioner Goetz also granted Luce-Forward (Jamie's lawyers) a release of her funds to the tune of a $25,000 retainer for a new Miami lawyer to deal with her ongoing audit of Jive records.

They've also retained the services of entertainment attorney Tom Hansen, at a severely reduced rate of $15,000 a month. Hansen is also Mel Gibson's lawyer.

Lastly, Andrew Wallet, co-conservator of her estate, asked for more bond money to be released "because of the rapidity of the bills being paid." Commissioner Goetz released $135,000 for now.

Sam Ingham, her court-appointed lawyer said he's made it clear to Brit that she should come to these hearings, and he offered transportation and security but she declined. Ingham said,"I have spoken to my client and she's been inconsistent with her position to attend these hearings. The last word I got today was that she was not coming. I would categorize her as unwilling to appear...she does not object to the proceedings but she does object to who is in the hearing." Could this refer to her desire to have Jon Eardley be her lawyer? Or is she unwilling to speak out against her father in front of him?

Jamie Spears, and attorneys Andrew Wallet and Geraldine Wyle are currently behind closed doors discussing Brit's medical condition.

Stay tuned for more updates!



Lots of stuff going down today! What do you think of Brit having her own credit card now?

Umm, no...It's kind of NOT like she's paying herself...

Maybe Brit and the X17 blogger who wrote this should take some "life skills" courses together, because it sure sounds like they both need it...

Boy, now she'll have to decide between meth or crack and then budget that out! Must be rough! And now she can't even afford a new Mercedes every time a tire goes flat?

Ok, so how exactly does x17 deduce that Britney is "referring to her desire to have Jon Eardley be her lawyer"? How did they make that leap?

did sam lufti write this x17 posting (via jon eardley). she does not want jon eardley as her lwayer

Sorry, but if homegirl was so damned concerned about having a different lawyer than she should get her butt to those hearings and express this to the judge herself.

Really, if she is having objects to ANYTHING she needs to tell it to the judge her self. It's like the custody hearings. How can anyone take her desire to have the boys back seriously when she can't even get her butt into the courtroom?

TMZ is reporting that she decided to be on the set of "How I Met Your Mother" rather than attend the hearing.

The woman is worth more than $100 million dollars!!! She makes more than $700,000 a month. All this is change to her.


This is all adds up to friggin less than 300,000 a month. And she would have to pay K-FAG's "reasonable" attorney fees that still would not even equal $500,000 cuz she won't be paying the whole thing.

Britney will be fine. UNLIKE Michael Jackson or MC Hammer or any other fool, she has a loving family that wants to protect her and good people working with her to protect her assets.

All you fools who are saying that she is going "broke" need to go back to school and friggin learn some math.

Sam LuTFi probably heard it from Michael Sands.

So Britney is able to teach young children to dance unsupervsed but not alowed to see her own children without shrinks, lawyers and boydguards present.

So Britney is able to "work" but so gravely disable she can not decide who she wants for a lawyer.

Britney is able to drive an automobile but not allowed to handle her own money.

Her Dad is so clueless about the conservatorship he has to hire a handful of professionals to figure it out for him. And apparently he is not metally ill at the moment. On the other hand Britney is expected to handle this and has handling this all on her own for quite some time.

Her dad has no idea what he is doing but gets $2500.00 a week?

Britney can't fire her present lawyer because he can tell the court what ever he likes about what she said. Why didn't he tell the truth that her Brother already has her working?

So Britney does object to who is in the court.... either her Dad or her present lawyer... take your pick.

The woman is worth more than $100 million dollars!!! She makes more than $700,000 a month. All this is change to her.

SHE DOES NOT HAVE THAT ASSHAT..THAT NUMBER WAS HER ESTIMATED VLUE YEARS AGO, THE LATEST FIGURE IS 40 MILLION, AND SHE IS FACING A IRS AUDIT, THAT IS WHY SHE IS GOING AFTER JIVE RECORDS...YOU COMPLETE MORON!!!!

Ok X17....

You COMPLETELY LOST MY BELIEF when you said that she wants that John Eardley ass as her laywer.

Its becoming clearer and clearer that OSAMA bin Lutfi works for x17.

IF SHE OVERDRAFTS HER ACCOUNT WHO PAYS THE BANK FEES? I THINK IT SHOULD BE SAM

BY THE WAY, U GUYS ARE HYSTERICAL. JOHN EARDLEY..WHAT A HOOT.

Actually, they did figure that she makes approximately $700,000 a month from royalties, perfume sales, etc. That estimate wasn't years ago it was months ago.

Posted by: Anonymous


Jamie and his lawyers are talking to the judge about her medical condition but her lawyer isn't is that true x17 her lawyer is NOT in the room?

Posted by: Anonymous


But the $1500 are not including food at home and rental of the house and phonebills etc. I suppose.

Posted by: A woman


yeah, she can teach older kids, she cannot take care of infants/toddlers, BIG DIFFERENCE.

she can work doing one thing only, how do you expect her to understand all the legalities of her case ? when she cannot even show up for a court case ?

its very easy to put a car into drive, than balance a cheque book. moron.

im' sure all of her business dealings that only professionals can handle it. since that is why they are professionals, do you think you could figure out her millions ? no you cannot.

2500$ a week is NOTHING compared to a professional conservator. check out their fees.

perhaps britney didnt' want to go to court cuz FUCK FACE KEVIN FEDERLINE WAS THERE. !!

keep telling yourself that....they had the court papers that showed approx 40 million in worth, if she gets her shit together then she might make more

do you know what her mortgage, car payments, insurance, lawn maintenance ETC is per month...plus kfed lawyers ETC she is paying out A LOT of money per month

According to documents filed in relation to the child custody case:

"Per petitioners income and expense declaration dated May 21, 2007, a copy of which is attached as exhibit cc to respondents osc, her monthly income is $737,868."

That is directly from the court documents, it isn't my opinion.

TMZ estimates that Kevin Federline possibly spent 50 million dollars of Britney Spears money in the two years that they were married. In 2003, her net worth was estimated at 100 million dollars. Today, she’s worth between 35 and 50 million. "You do the math," TMZ says.

May 21, 2007

Is a YEAR ago....since then her worth has declined, she does not have the income from record sales and concerts no more!! the IRS is looking at over 17 million also

Her dad would not be involved in her $$$ unless there is money being lost at a huge rate

Posted by: Anonymous


So everybody gets paid astronomical amounts of money and she gets crumbs, I do not particularly like her but this is HERE money SHE worked for it.
Why are attorney's talking about her health and not doctors?
How about this quote :Jamie's lawyer, Geraldine Wyle, said it was "so she can spend money, have her freedom, and make choices about how she wants to enjoy her life."
She can not do anything without her father's permission, so what freedom is she refering to?
Sounds fishy to me?
She pays $20.000 to her ex and he leaves a $2000 tip... nice

She is still making money from royalties, and perfume sales. Her perfumes are actually some of the top selling perfumes around the world. She was making that much last May when she wasn't touring, and before the drop of her latest album.

Well if she is going top go broke she should be the one enjoying every penny of it and NOBODY else.
She does need to make better choices but NONE of have live in her wolrd, so we should not judge. It looks to me that that judge has not ruled a lot in her favor even early on in the game

A YEAR ago YEAR ago...before she flipped out before she lost endorsements her kids her brain....her royalties from what??? her songs are not played anymore, no one buys cd's that much....

Posted by: Anonymous


I think her team is doing an excellent job. They appear to be giving her as much autonomy as she can handle and increasing and/or limiting it as required. Good stuff. And, no the 1500 is pocket money. Lipsticks etc. It's for her automony. They would also give her any big ticket item that was appropriate. This is so she is not infantalized. I'm impressed. Best wishes to Britney and the people who love her.

Posted by: Anonymous


Yes it should be her money and all her's but she made bad choices, as did LOADS of other artist who lost it all, problem is she was a teen idol, kids liked her she cannot move into anything else, say what you want about Christina but she can go to broadway, sing old shit like Sinatra ETC and people will buy that, Brit is going to have a tough time making $$$ in the future

I think Kevin finds out when she's supposed to be in court, then makes sure he's there. I bet it is Kevin she doesn't want there. On one hand, yeah, I agree. I would not want to see my asshole ex who is fucking with me for fear I may flip out on him...not good. On the other, if it were going to make a difference for me to get my kids back, I wouldn't give a crap who was there.

There's a time to play up your acting skills and do the little dance everyone wants you to do to get what you want. Who cares what people think of you. That's Brit's problem I think... she has no self esteem.

It's just a matter of time. She'll get it, like most women, in her 30s.

By time she hits 30 she will have no money left!

Posted by: *That's right I have no life*


kevin bragged about his 50 million in his cd.

if she went to court and he was there she probably would of caused a riot. !

i would if it was me, gold digger kevin federline.

Actually, you don't know that she isn't still making $700,000/mo. The lastest figure actually documented is $700,000, and NONE of that was from concerts or from recent music royalties. While my argument is based on documented fact, you don't have an argument just a silly, little opinion/assumption. YOU ARE A DUMBASS WHO CANNOT EVEN PRODUCE ANY FACTS TO BACK UP YOUR ATTEMPTED PATHETIC DEBATE. DOCUMENTATION OF HER PRESENT NET WORTH HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. THE ONE PERSON WHO ESTIMATED HER NET WORTH AT 40 MILLION WAS STREISAND THE ATTORNEY KICKED OUT OF COURT BY THE COMMISSIONER. IF SHE IS WORTH 40 MILLION, IT IS STILL DOCUMENTED THAT SHE IS MAKING $700,000/MO. THERE WAS AN ACTUAL NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT HER PERFUMES BEING SOME OF THE HIGHEST SELLING PERFUMES IN THE WORLD, AND SALES ARE THROUGH THE ROOF, NOT TO MENTION MUSIC ROYALTIES.
AGAIN, YOU HAVE NO FACTS JUST ASSUMPTIONS. SO, KISS MY ASS YOU UNEDUCATED, IGNORANT FOOL.

IF SHE HAS NO MONEY LEFT...THEN WHOSE FAULT IS THAT? I SAY IT'S HERS..BI-POLAR FITS AND ALL. SHE MAKES HORRIFIC DECISIONS. RETARD. THANK HEAVENS FOR HER FAMILY.

She is going to work on "How I met your mother" instead of the court.
She has to work now to make an income enough to pay all lawyers and earn back what she lost, I suppose.
BTW,3:45, It's not her fault if she's bi-polar.

She reaping what she sow. She will be broke in no time. She not making money, her music & Perfumes are not selling. She has no endorsment maybe her deal with the paps. She not woman enough to fight for her kids or estate because of Kevin oh please.She should know he will be there because his kids are involve so I doubt he the reason. She afraid of the Judge. Kevin wants nothing to o with her , he do not drop the kids off because he do not want to have anything to do with her.

Posted by: U reap what u sow


IT's her money yeah he can monotor what she spends but if she wants to shop she should be allowed to. Keep kevin away from her money 350 lunch bill and 2,000 tip geez he is crazy!!!!!!!! Free with her money too just like Adan will be if she really is pregnant
Brit FAn

If she goes broke, which I doubt, she can't pay no child-support.
Stop being so negative, she has her father and she can only spent $1500. She can't buy drugs, so she will be ok.

So Britney does object to who is in the court.... either her Dad or her present lawyer... take your pick.

Could be Kaplan, the judge/commish. Not necessarily HER lawyer. If that was the case, she needs to go into court herself and voice this to the judge.

3:35 I agree, it's K-Fed she doesn't want to see, or rather objects to. But I don't know that.

I don't know what's in the sealed court documents but it must be pretty bad if sealed.

Also, if Brit is bi-polar and not just an abused woman... that makes those of you who downgrade her, a shameful piece of her past and present.

Adnan is handsome and charming. I don't know why people want to bring him down. I don't know why the paps in particular want to bring him down. He's with the "princess." He doesn't think he is better than the paps, just acting responsibly to ensure he continues to be there for Brit.

I think some of the financial limit for Brit is so she can't fly away. We still don't know why some of her credit cards were rejected at stores, such as when she was in the company of Sam Lutfi.

Where is he by the way? How come he's not paying his dues?

3:35 you are right though about playing a role in court. How bad is it that she doesn't want to see K-Fed. What is in those court documents that are sealed? They must be exceptionally sensitive.

What were the items that disappeared from the house? Brit's not crazy. She might have a disorder but she's not crazy.

That's 1500.00 a week to just blow. All her living expenses will be paid. She should have to try to LIVE on that money for a while. Pay her bills out of it. The woman needs a serious reality check.

f'off 4:55 p.m.

You haven't a clue what it is to live at her income level or be who she is.

What's the money for? Clothes, appearances, her teeth?

No way in hell did K-Fed spend 50 million dollars of Brits money in two years. And if he did...I'd sure in hell like to know what he spent it on?????

2003 net worth vs. 2007 net worth, that's 4 years, only 2 of which Kevin was with her. It is more likely she blew through, or I should say her entourage, blew through the money with her.

I wish I got that much a week too but it doesn't make me crazy or hateful that she does.

X17 you guys are ruthless f**king vultures!!! I've been a fan of your website for a very long time. But, since Britney's dad walked back into her life, helping her get her life together, see her kids again and get well - I've been absolutely DISGUSTED in the 'tone' in which you report on all things "Britney"!!!!!!
When Sam Lufti was in Britney's life - he served her up to your camera's and where abouts on a silver f**king platter! Since he was rightfully kicked out of her life - that meant the loss of a paycheck for your agency!!!! As a result you're trying to spin as much negative bullsh*t as possible about Britney's dad, the conservatorship he holds & the money he is paid.
Let this girl get well for f**k sakes! You damn well know her father is the best thing for her! Had she continued on the path she was on, with Lufti by her side, whoring her out the way to your cameras - she would have ended up dead!
You have made Perez Hilton look like a saint - pat yourselves on the back!

Britney tends to waste her money when she has it, giving her an "allowance" is a good thing. The conservators can also see what choices she is making with that money. All of this is to help Britney. X17, you need to stop with the snide comments about her dad able to receive $2500 weekly.It's really none of anyone's business about her financial affairs,that information needs to be kept quiet.

Posted by: anonymous


Her allowance is spending money, for coffee, clothes, entertainment. That's $6000 per month, plenty for most anybody. That money isn't used to pay her bills, just fun money and necessities, too, probably, like cosmetics, toiletries, etc.

Her father's salary of 2500 goes to pay his bills, health insurance, life insurance if he has any, all his living expenses.

Clearly she is not quite ready to handle her financial and business affairs alone. She might have anxiety, among other things, and who can blame her?

This work that is on schedule for her is the best thing she can do. That will be very rehabilitative and restore her confidence and ability to maneuver normal life without those nasty hangers-on she's dealt with for several years now.

Believe or not, Britney will still rock the year 2008. It seems Britney is seeking true love online now. I saw her profile on millionaire&celeb dating site "WealthyRomance.com" last week.

ANYBODY INTERESTED IN THE TRUTH!!!! Here is what Ingram REALLY SAID! FUCK YOU X17 get your heads out of Sams ass.
"I have spoken to my client and she's been inconsistent with her position to attend these hearings," Ingham said in court. "The last word I got today was that she was not coming. I would categorize her as unwilling to appear...She does not object that the proceedings take place. However, she does object to elements of relief that are being requested."

Posted by: Anonymous


You know what, I just have to say something here. I love to check out this web site I just can't stand the way you guys make Britney Spears Dad sound. I feel he is doing an awesome Job. Who cares how much she's getting or he's getting. He probably had to stop working to be a full time with his daughter. At least we don't see her doing crazy things or being out all night like she was with other people. We have seen a big change in her and because of her dad being there she's been able to see her kids. Stop trying to make some one that is actually helping her sound bad just because she's not giving you head lines or doing crazy things like she use to. I say God Bless Jamie Spears all my prayers to you and your family.

wasn't kfed there yesterday ? couldn't that be who she doesn't want to see ?

those who are critizing the whole $2500 a week to jamie, think about it ! jamie basically doesn't work anymore and that's probably not even a fraction of what he was making. he has bills to pay too !

Posted by: jess


oh poor britney only 1,500 a week? how will she survive? i have about 100 dollars a week that im not spending on bills and gas and whatever else... oh maybe she'll be able to get by like a normal person!! fuck you x17 stop trying to make her a victim, she will be perfectly fine!! her dad will probably even give her more money!
