Celebrity Justice
Brit Takes It In the End

The commissioner in the Britney Spears conservatorship case has just ordered that a sh*tload of fees be paid to various lawyers in the case -- and Brit, of course, will foot the bill.
Britney Spears/Click to launch documents!
The Commish has ordered that court-appointed lawyer Sam Ingham can get up to $10,000 a week through July 31. What the hell is wrong with hiring Jacoby and Meyers?

But that's just the beginning. Andrew Wallet, a co-conservator, just got the green light for up to $100,000. And the Luce Forward law firm will get up to $175,000, and that's just for their work through March 31.

Clark Byam, another attorney, will get $22,500. Stacy Phillips, the lawyer repping Brit in the family law case, will get up to $75,000 for work through March 31.

And Brit pays it all. Ding dang, y'all. Where's Shakespeare when ya need him?

47. Liberty, its obvious that you are the most ignorant person alive!! why don't you research mental illnesses and see if maybe some of the simptoms there fit you! Its obvious that Britney had a mental illness and i'm sure she now realizes what happened, but life goes on, do you expect her to put head down in shame for something she had NO control of? of course not, instead she is dealing with all the problems one step at a time; its called recovery!!!

get a flipping clue you moron!!!

53. Britney was proven mental ill people. Trying to rob her money is not helping her to get better.

Posted at 9:19PM on Apr 17th 2008 by Poor Britney

54. She may have a mental illness or not. It doesn't remove the fact Britney has placed herself in this position where she has lost custody of her kids and will likely be tied up in court for years over it. What is fact, Britney has for several months went around half naked in public, spent carelessly thousands and thousands almost daily and is still doing that, and appears often in public to be a drugged, spaced out woman. Britney must have some control over herself not to act out like a small child that has no concept of money. She has hired the most expensive lawyers she could find and of course they're going to want to get paid their due. Why the heck is it news worthy that she has to pay her own legal bills? Why is she hiring people she clearly can't afford? I can't feel sorry for people who are that dumb.

55. NOBODY CARES ABOUT THIS FAT UGLY ZIT FACE SKANK. GOOD JOB LA, MILK THIS WHITE TRAH POS UNTIL SHE MOVES BACK TO THE STICKS!!!!

56. Somehow I don't think she is going to get any value for money out of her court appointed attorney, who clearly has a much bigger interest in keeping her declared "gravely disabled" than he does in fighting for his client. How this commissioner can maintain that Brit can be entering into contracts (signed by dad) to appear on tv shows and hire new agents etc, but cannot speak to a lawyer of her choosing still is absolutely crazy. Interesting how the discussions took place in chambers, so there is no record of how hard her court appointed lawyer fought against some of the bills being presented. I do hope something is done about pa spears disgusting wasting of his daughter's assets. If only he'd offered to be there for her for free, without court orders etc, it wouldn't have cost her a cent. Greedy hillbilly piece of rubbish clearly only cares about himself.

57. The laugh's on her. She started all this crap, let her pay for it. One good thing,( besides the kids getting away from her crazy a$$), the other hollywood skanks out there have evidently taken notice of what's happening with her and seemed to have curbed their antics lately.

59. If this was happing to some women in the Valley without any showbiz to her name, These bills would be a fraction of the cost. This is a fine example of Attorney's taken advantage of her status and trying to make as much money as they can. I hope she dose go to court over this outrages costs...

60. At this rate she will be sharing an apartment with Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown, ex-singers broke on their ass.
