If you thought Britney Spears' comeback was just a bunch of bored producers sitting in a room, thinking about how they can squeeze a few extra bucks out of a dying star, you were probably right. But turns out there's a little more to it. According to TMZ:
The attorneys representing Jamie Spears have racked up more than $1 mil in fees.
The funny thing about lawyers that happens to not be funny at all is that they'll adjust their fees depending on how much money you have. I could hire the same 17 lawyers and law firms for 500 bucks because they know I'm poor and smell bad in the mornings. Britney, on the other hand, has a bunch of money from when she wasn't a complete whore, so they're doing the patriotic thing and taking it all. It's a neat world.
