The Cost of a Comeback isn't Cheap

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:

Britney's conservators have hired a total of 17 lawyers and law firms to handle her affairs over the last 14 months. According to legal papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court yesterday, the fees just keep on piling up.

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.
