Celebrity Justice
You Can Bank on Britney

The bank of Britney Spears has just opened its vault -- again.

The judge in the conservatorship case has just ruled Jamie, Brit's dad, can get thousands of extra $$$ for the work he's been doing for his daughter. Jamie was getting $10,000 a month for his fee as the conservator of Brit's estate.

Today the judge adjusted that amount for the entire year to $16,125 a month, to reflect all the additional work Jamie did -- which includes planning her tour for next year.

The judge also gave the green light for Jamie to get office space -- Brit will pay $1,200 a month for that.

And there's more. Brit's bro, Bryan Spears, will receive $200,000 for services he rendered prior to the time the conservatorship was established.

And the lawyers ... the bills for all of them are approaching a cool $1 million.

Who says times are tough?

91. I'm sorry but if you can't "bank" on your family to make you feel save (phisycally, emotionally, mentally) who can you "bank" on???
No wonder she had a mental breakdown. Live is tough enough... your family is supposed to be the safe haven! Hers doesn't seem to be very aware of that... sad. :(

93. Here's an idea...how about if the judges put all of brits money into trust funds for her children and had brit loaded on to a space shuttle and shot off into outer space? That way the boys would always have plenty of money (i'm sure the therapy they will need to try to recover from the damage she has done to them will be quite expensive) and we would never be subjected to brits version of what talent and music is again. Now that sounds like a plan!!!!

Although be it a lovely thought, the poor boys don't stand a chance. They will follow exactly in their parents footsteps and we will be watch ing them crumble in 15 years.

94. #15 for your information. Jamie had a job BEFORE he started handling her business. The man was not sitting back living off of Britney. He was a cook and apparently a darn good one. He can't live on air, if he gave up his job he SHOULD be compensated, being her father has nothing to do with it. Even parents who are managers for their kids GET PAID.

95. 1) I think he should get paid. Yes, she is his daughter, but since taking care of her is a full time job, he should be paid for a full time job. 2) Even though everyone is complaining about the money, do we ever see Daddy Spears out? Do we see him buying fancy cars, fancy clothes, eating out every night? No. That money is sitting in bank somewhere and we don't know what he is going to do with it. Maybe he is saving it for his grandkids, maybe he is saving it for Brtiney should she go nuts and blow all her money again, maybe he is just saving it to retire someday, who knows. I do not think that this man should be put in the same category as a Dina Lohan or even his ex-wife. The fact that he is barely seen out in front of the cameras speak volumes. I think the man honestly cares about his child and just wants her better. I think Britney's dad has done a wonderful job at turning his daughter around and getting her healthy again. Kudos to him.

96. I just feel so sad for those boys. They don't stand a chance. I just want to take them in a raise them as my own. I'm not rich but i have a decent home and plenty of love and morals. I would love to teach them that they are not photo-ops and let them know what it is to have a mothers love. I have my own faults but I would NEVER do anything remotely close to what she has. Brit is a disgusting person and deserves whatever she gets. People who support her are supporting all the awful things she has done. Its really very sick.

97. Oh Horse Manure.. you people who think Britney is just so wonderful and talented make me sick. He should take care of her because he and her mother have made this monster. They took her childhood away by promoting her and making a total insecure and mental case ouf of her. Should he get paid? Well Yeah!... if he has to take care of her full time where is it he should get employment? If it had not been for him stepping in while she subjected herself to all these money hungry guys who were out to drain her dry she would be just that.. a no talent penniless skank

98. Gimme gimme more, gimme gimme.

99. I agree with #4 that this is a very small price to pay for her life. If her family managers can keep her on target and her feet on the ground she has the opportunity to make lots more money. Without them I fear that she will be dead and burried.

Bi-polar illness is not easy to manage. It doesn't just go away. You must medicate it, live a less complicated life style, and be protected from yourself and those who would take advantage of you.

She seems to be coming back to the Britney that people loved. I think that her keepers are doing a great job.

100. Not much wonder with family like that she went off the rails....nothing like being the cash cow for your entire family and all those around you since you were a child. I hope she goes broke so they all might have to get jobs of their own instead of feeding off her and propping her up to perform like some retarded dancing monkey. I'm no fan of her so called music but it's beyond pathetic how everyone in her life uses her to support them.

101. STOP WHINGING PEOPLE.. !! WITHOUT THE CONSERVORSHIP BRIT BRIT WOULD BE DEAD DEAD...!! AND BESIDES ITS BETTER FOR THE BROTHER AND FATHER TO LIVE OFF HER THAN A BUNCH OF NO GOOD DEADBEATS FROM NOWHERE WHO WHERE NOWHERE WHEN SHE STARTED OFF.. WELLL DONE DAD!! I SAID IT AT THE BEGINING OF THIS YR.. THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO THIS TRAIN WRECK WAS BRINGING IN HER FATHER , NOT HER MOTHER, HER FATHER TO RESTORE SANITY AND STABILITY AND A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROL BACK INTO A LIFE THAT NEEDS IT BADLY...

102. And the awards for the biggest pieces of crap goes to....If I were to win the lottery, would my mother get paid for changing my diapers all those years, or now, when she holds my hair up when I have too much to drink, should I slip her a 20? Not pointing any fingers...Okay, I am, but wonder why brittney got all screwed up?! ANyone buy Lynn's parenting book, by the way!?

103. Um, isn't that the kind of thing parents just do without question for their child? That woman is being robbed blind by her own family.

104. No wonder the poor girl is messed up your dad is a walking 2 legged leech who's real interest is in getting as much $$ as he can...

105. Actually, this is pretty smart. She "pays" her father and her brother. It is a good way to protect her money - by giving it to people she trusts. If she puts her family on the payroll, no one can touch that money. Smart if you ask me.
