Legal Fees Top $2.7 Million

According to the Los Angeles Times, Britney Spears conservators have hired a total of 17 lawyers and law firms to deal with her affairs over the last 14 months. So far, she's racked up $2.7 million in legal fees -- and counting. But she's had a lot going on, including custody proceedings involving her ex-husband Kevin Federline, her driving-without-a-license trial and the latest restraining order situation with her former manager.

Retired probate judge Arnold Gold says the fees aren't necessarily uncommon for a celebrity, explaining, "It's quite appropriate, particularly in the entertainment field, to incur and have to pay very, very, very sizable attorneys' fees."

It's not that she has a lot going on that's racking up the fees, it's the conservatorship.

And it's not appropriate. Just because Britney has a lot of money, doesn't mean it should be carelessly spent and that spending be rationalized.

Britney has become the goose that laid the golden egg. They will never let her go.

Outrageous!

And, this guardianship of Spears will go on for how long?

This conservatorship will last her whole life. It is permanent. And today they forced to close the only website where you could read the truth about James Spears.

It is breatheheavy.com. His Webmaster was the only one who was constantly fighting the conservatorship publicly.

No freedom of speech when it's about the money, you see.

Yes, the conservatorship will at least last as long as Britney has money.

She doesn't understand that, but in reality what she should do is quit working so her estate is eaten faster. As soon as they're no money, the vultures will move on.

Maybe Britney would still be young enough for a comeback...

If only one could do something to help her! But the society is keeping silence. So unfair, so cruel!

I wonder what civil rights have been taken away from Britney. It's all about the money and the lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank. It happens all the time.
