Britney Spears -- What's in Your Wallet?!

The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:

Britney Spears' conservators filed legal papers today explaining Britney's finances right down to the last penny -- and let's just say she's got a lot of pennies.

From March to December Brit blew $447,633.69 on security alone. Six months of household repairs and maintenance ran her $49,387.22.

Britney also spent $625,000 to pay Kevin Federline's lawyers, as ordered by the courts. In the docs, the payments are referred to as "Federline Fees."

K-Fed ain't doin to bad either -- from March to December, Britney kicked over $178,818.00 in child support payments.

Grand total expenses for Brit between Feb. and December -- $10,116,678.23.

But the best part: Britney definitely felt the Christmas spirit -- she spent $3400 just to hang lights.

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

The lawyer who derailed the Britney Spears conservatorship case tells TMZ Britney herself called him and asked him to take the reigns. The question: Will a judge be buyin' what he's sellin'?

Attorney John Eardley filed papers in federal court last Thursday, alleging the California courts have railroaded Britney by imposing a conservatorship. Eardley tells us Britney called him, but he would not disclose the circumstances surrounding the alleged call or what she said. We do know that Michael Sands, who used to be the spokesperson for K-daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is now the mouthpiece for Eardley. And Sands also reps Sam Lutfi, who is now restrained from all things Britney.

Mark Vincent Kaplan -- Britney's Lawyer, Too?

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

Mark Vincent Kaplan officially has a fan. Only problem: The guy thinks he's Britney's lawyer, not K-Fed's!

TMZ was talking to Kaplan about the ongoing custody battle outside Madeo last night in Beverly Hills, when the celeb hunter known as "Yaya" could be heard shouting "I know you're the lawyer. You're the lawyer for Britney!"

Kaplan was a good sport though, and laughed it off after posing for a photo.
