Although it seems impossible without the aid of bonfires, Britney Spears has somehow managed to lose nearly $61 million dollars in the last year. According to In Touch Magazine

In addition to the enormous tab for legal bills, rehab and psychiatric care, Britney’s inability to work has cost her a fortune. “By not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million,” estimates an LA-based CPA. ““It’s staggering how much money has been used up.”

Britney Spears has spent the last six months and the same pair of raggedy-ass boots and covered in stains, so I doubt she’s blowing her money on clothes. I’m thinking more along the lines of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Phillip Morris. Not the actual companies, of course. I’m talking buckets of chicken and smokes. Merrill-Lynch might have tried to point her along the lines of long-term growth, but last time I checked, you couldn’t deep-fry dividends. Plus their pie model of capital structure doesn’t even come with whipped cream! Who are they trying to kid? It’s Britney, bitch!
