Celebrity Justice
Landlord to Brit: Pay Your Rent, Bitch!

As if Britney hasn't had enough tsuris, her Malibu landlord tried evicting her this month.

TMZ has seen documents sent to the official lessee for Brit -- Love Shack Trust. The documents, dated February 14, states that Brit was more than two weeks late in paying her $35,000-a-month rent. A $2,100 late charge kicked in, which was not paid. The documents state that Love Shack must either pay up or "surrender and deliver up possession of said Premises..."

There's an interesting last line in the docs, citing Section 594 of the Penal Code of California: "Every person who maliciously injures or destroys any real or personal property not his own...is guilty of vandalism."

Sources tell us Brit's financial peeps (not Jamie) screwed up but Love Shack is now current on rent and late fees and it's all kumbaya in Malibu.

95. Britney property - ibtimes.com:
"In real estate, Britney has also been successful, raking in over $4 million in profit. She sold her house in Malibu last summer for $10 million after paying $6.9 million for it in 2004, and she unloaded her Lower Manhattan condominium for $4 million in 2006, after buying it for $3 million in 2002.
She put another property in a gated hilltop community near Mulholland Drive went on sale a year ago at an asking price of $7.5 million -a bit more than the $7.2 million she paid for it."

97. I agree with the posters who say she needs to buy her own home. Heck I thought this *was* her own home!

And to those of you who type in all CAPS, you come off as mentally challenged. Seriously.

---Exposed: Britney's finances
By James Andrews (MSN Money)
November 02 2007

Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has revealed herself to the public once again this week - with her financial secrets laid bare for the whole world to see. As a result we can now say for certain that the 25-year-old spends more on clothes and food than childcare and is almost certainly on the wrong mobile phone tariff.
The singer spends an eye-watering $16,000 (£7,700) a month on clothes and has a combined grocery and restaurant bill of $6,358 (£3,100). However, according to papers published as part of her divorce hearing with Kevin Federline, she spends just $6,000 (£2,900) a month on childcare.

Same bills as us - bigger
Britney also seems to spend an awful lot on staying connected - with a combined mobile, landline and internet bill of $2,500 (£1,200) a month. While her utility bill of $10,250 (£5,000) and mortgage bill of $49,267 (£27,000) look like they could be trimmed with the right packages.
And that would leave the songstrell more cash to spend on her favoured pastime - or at least the thing she spends the most on - going out.
The Toxic singer spends $102,000 (£49,000) on "entertainment, gifts and vacations". Every month.

Responsible Britney?
But it's not all frivolous - she gives $500 (£240) a month to charity and spends $9,200 (£4,400) on health care on top of the $77,197 (£37,000) she spends on health insurance for her and her children and almost $50,000 (£27,000) on mortgage payments.
Car insurance, repairs, petrol and busses come in at $17,000 (£8,000) a month - enough for a London bus ticket a day, every day, since she was 14.


But then she can afford to spend big - even before her new album and single were released Britney was averaging $719,634 (£350,000) a month in royalty payments.


Britney's monthly expenses:
Entertainment, gifts and vacation: $102,000 (£49,000)
Health insurance: $77,197 (£37,000)
Mortgages on two homes: $49,267 (£27,000)
Car expenses and transport: $17,000 (£8,000)
Clothes: $16,000 (£7,700)
Property taxes: $12,000 (£5,800)
Gas, electricity, water garbage collection: $10,250 (£5,000)
Health care not covered by insurance: $9,200 (£4,400)
Maintenance and repair: $6,500 (£3,100)
Child care: $6,000 (£2,900)
Eating out: $4,758 (£2,300)
Home insurance: $2,500 (£1,200)
Landline, mobile and email: $2,500 (£1,200)
Groceries and other household supplies: $1,600 (£800)
Other insurance (life, accident etc): $785 (£370)
Charitable contributions: $500 (£240)
Laundry and cleaning: $160 (£77)

Britney's monthly income:
Royalties: $719,634 (£350,000)
Investments: $13,234 (£6,400)

102. So let me get this straight. Someone sent a bill to Britney with a late charge on it, and then the bill got paid within two weeks of it being received. This is news?

Oh wait ... what am I thinking? I forgot that even Britney's bathroom stops are front-page material these days. Silly me.
