Report: Britney Spears Stiffed Backup Dancers

I Like It I Don't Like It
See More... Backup dancers from Britney Spears’ infamous MTV VMA debacle likely can’t get her new single, “Gimme More,” out of their heads.

And not because the song is good. It’s not!

A source tells Us Weekly that the dancers have yet to be fully compensated for their work leading up to the September 9 event - which went great.

“The dancers were paid for the actual show and some of the rehearsals, but not all of them,” an industry insider says.

The problem may stem from Britney Spears being unceremoniously dropped by her own management agency, The Firm, back on September 17.

Not the same firm featured in the Tom Cruise movie The Firm, we’re guessing.

“Her management usually pays the dancers,” explains the source.

McDonald/Selznick Associates, which booked the dancers, had no comment on the matter. But it’s just the latest bad news for Britney Spears.

Her family feud and bitter custody battle continue to dominate headlines, most recently yesterday when her “parenting coach” slammed her.

  • britney should maybe go on the show so u think you can dance but the same moves she did rihanna is doing now so maybe some new routines and having to pay the dancers out of her income is hard on her cause she did drop her label but because she had to reinvent herself and they may have disaporved and
    maybe giving her kids to someone who is giving a show about the failure the bad mother when all this jazz is untrue and is hurting her image
    when most of the mistakes she did paparazzi took pictures of half the story and made up the rest so now britney is out there but shes not a little girl but we saw her as a sex sybol and loved her for it we love girls who are captivating with style and moves maybe her giving up parenting for now is better for the children she'll sing for the music and be a puppet to you performing old moves well that won't do so maybe seeing her now her dance moves are maybe not as good as how other performers carry themselves dancing is about confidence and when you don't have it your moves will not be as good and I think all this slamming is not going to make her confindence level any better how about we focus on how bad of a parent kevin is right now there must be a flaw to this story that no one is talking about because everyone is focused on every move hoping she would go back to the diva they knew
