Britney Spears It's Good to Be My Dog
Too bad you're not one of Britney Spears' dogs, because if you were, she would treat you like a king ... dropping tens of thousands of bucks on your every need.
TMZ just obtained records of Britney's finances, filed in her conservatorship case, and the headline is all about the pooches. Brit dropped $24,720 in 2014 on pet care. And get a load of the breakdown -- $14,720 on pet sitting, $300 a pop for the groomer, 12 visits to the animal hospital totaling more than $4k.
She can certainly afford it. According to the docs, the conservatorship raked in $14 million in gross profits in 2014 ... and that's only a portion of Britney's fortune. A lot of her income is made outside the conservatorship.
But it's expensive to be Britney. The $14 million was significantly whittled down, because she spent $5.7 million on stuff, that included $15,270 on meals and entertainment and $71,629 on grooming and wardrobe.
And this will make you feel poor. She spent $4k on Halloween decorations and another $6k on various holiday decorations.
BTW ... she spent only $6k -- on human gifts.
In all, Britney's assets in her conservatorship total $45.9 million, and that's just a portion of her fortune.

Dez Bryant I'm Not Selfish I'm Just Trying to Get Paid!!
Dez Bryant says he's sick and tired of people calling him "selfish" for holding out of Dallas Cowboys training camp -- saying he just wants to be paid fairly and he's been quiet for too long.
Long story short ... Bryant and the Cowboys are in a heated contract dispute -- with Dez needing to strike a long-term deal by July 15th or else he'll be locked into the league-mandated franchise tag salary for the season ... which is roughly $13 million.
Dez has remained silent on the issue ... until now ... when he went to Twitter and wrote, "Everybody voicing opinions..13 mil is cool but Where is my security? I'll wait ...5 years without complaining..So how am I selfish? #family1"
Translation -- $13 million for one season is nice, but what if he gets hurt? The 1-year deal doesn't protect his financial future.
Another interesting point ... "5 years without complaining" -- it seems like Dez is implying that he's been a good, quiet soldier and the team should have come to him first with a shiny new contract.
For now, Dez's strategy is to hold out until the team breaks down and offers a new deal.
Question is ... will his strategy pay off?
Stay tuned ...

Swans Massive Kill in Hollywood
That giant inflatable swan Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris rode into the California sunset this week isn’t just making a big splash in the pool … it’s making a bigger one at the bank.
Sales for the floating swan have skyrocketed according to manufacturer Swimline, thanks to the pro-bono marketing from celebs like Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton, Kendall Jenner and Zooey Deschanel, who have all been pictured on it. Taylor and Calvin are just the latest in a long line.
Swimline says they sold 41,000 swans in the first six months of 2015 alone. At $49.99 a bird, that’s a $2 million payday. Not bad compared to $400k total sales in 2013.
As for a black swan … Swimline tried, but the black prototypes got too hot in the sun. But hope isn't lost ...they’re testing out different materials for next year.
They like giving celebs the bird.

Lana Del Rey Fans Scared Me Off Moving to Malibu Safe House
Lana Del Rey is sick of fans creeping up on her personal space so she's packing up and heading to her new secluded $3 mil Malibu pad.
Real estate sources tell TMZ, Lana’s new 3 bed, 4 bath beachfront home is 2,860 sq. ft. and is completely surrounded by rocks … which means no neighbors.
In Malibu terms, a 3,000-ish square foot house on the beach isn't outlandish. In fact, it would be a lot more if it weren't a wet beach ... a little further up the coast.
Lana's been living in the ritzy Hancock Park area of L.A. which is just too accessible to fans, some of whom would camp out on her street. It got so bad one fan got in her backyard.
She plans on fixing up her new 'Bu home ... a remodel is in order.

No one loved to cuss people out in autographs more than Mickey Mantle -- and now, a signed baseball in which he refers to Joe DiMaggio as "f**ker" has just sold ... for $12,000!!!
It's unclear exactly when Mantle signed the ball, but the people at Steiner Sports tell us Mantle signed it right after spilling a drink on DiMaggio at some sort of event back in the day.
The signature reads, "I'm sorry I spilled a drink on this f**ker. MM."
Joe DiMaggio also signed the ball ... and we're told both signatures have been authenticated.

This video is some "Scarface" s**t -- O.T. Genasis rolling with more dead presidents than Arlington National Cemetery, and he popped his trunk to show off the massive STACKS of cold hard cash.
The "CoCo" rapper was out Wednesday in Beverly Hills, and all we asked was how he planned to top his hit song -- and then he flashed a wad of cash in his pocket. That alone would've been impressive.
But then he walked to his Yukon (which we're dubbing the Benji Mobile) and revealed the crazy amounts of cash! Seriously, it's several hundreds of thousands.
O.T. tells us what he plans to do with the loot -- or at least, some of it. He doesn't explain how he got it. What's really insane is he only has ONE bodyguard, and he's NOT in an armored truck!

TMZ broke the story ... Anna is suing Mama June, claiming June kept all the 'Honey Boo Boo' money that should have been distributed to the family. Both Anna and her daughter Kaitlyn are suing.
But TMZ has learned June will file legal docs Thursday, claiming her mother, Sandra Hale, is behind the lawsuit and Anna never wanted to file it nor does she believe what's being alleged.
We know June has text messages from Anna to a family member, one of which says, "I did not hire the lawyer. My grandma did ... I know I can't get her money and that's what I tried to tell him [Sandra's boyfriend]."
What's more, June has another text from Anna which reads, "I never really talked to [the lawyer] cause my grandma boyfriend talked the whole time and then kicked me out so he could talk to the guy. So Idk what was said behind closed door."
We got Mama June at LAX a few months ago, and she clearly knew who was fueling the family feud, calling her mom "a money hungry bitch."
