Exclusive: Britney Spears’ New Manager Puts His Foot Down!

britneylax1.jpg

This night could have ended yet again on a sour note for Britney Spears but it didn’t, thanks to her new manager Jeff Kwatinetz at The Firm. A source close to the events that occured tonight exclusively revealed to That Other Blog that Britney placed a call early in the evening to the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas stating that she was not going to be able to fulfill her duties anymore as host.

Upon finding out of her last minute irresponsible cancellation, club managers placed a call to Kwatinetz, who was apparently busy in a business dinner. After getting yelled at on the other line by the desperate promoter, he called Britney on her cell and “forced her” to make the appearance and explained to her that it was not the right time nor place right now to be bailing out. “Britney was totally whatever about it but followed his advice”, our source continues.

She finally showed up at Club LAX but apparently refused to stay for more than an over an hour. We are hearing rumors that as soon as she posed for all the cameras and did her duties for the club, she jumped into a limo and was driven right back to the airport.

Our source claims she’s back in Los Angeles as her private jet landed in Van Nuys airport at around 1:30 AM PT.

I think you are full of sh*t - b*itch….the girl showed up…stop reporting lies and let those who like her and her new songs enjoy her comeback…instead of people like you trying to sabotage her every move.

P.S. Do you work for US Magazine…they report the same lies and reported by very credible anonymous sources just like you.

How do you know that these are lies? Do you also have an inside source in the Britney camp? Considering that she has stood up her fans before and performed for 15 minutes for her fans who waited for hours I can see this being completely true.

No one had any idea where Brit was so they freaked out and started to invent all this info about her not showing up.

Yeah I have to agree with Faye. Why every little thing she does people blow up? so what maybe she
wanted to live - get over it … people need to
learn to let this poor woman live her life and stop
judging her for every little thing she does.

She did her job - showed up.

So let’s say you owned or co-owned LAX….you had a contract with a celeb for that celeb to show up and host the club opening. The celeb flakes and gives you a load of bullshit before the person’s manager gets on the phone and gives this celeb a kick in the ass. Wouldn’t you be pissed at the lurch in the schedule? I know I would. I don’t care which celeb we’re talking about. I’d be pissed if I went to bat for a celeb and they either say they aren’t gonna show up, don’t show up, show up super late, or act like they don’t want to be there.

This is her comeback, yall! If I were in her shoes I’d be trying to bat that ball out of the ballpark with every event I went to, ever song I performed, getting everything in my life back in order, everything. This is business. This isn’t some playdate to fool around.

She showed up. She looks “clean”. Who could ask for anything more. How come the VMA’s won’t officially announce her appearance?

Comment by Jennifer
2007-09-01 18:21:32

I’d say they aren’t announcing it so if she flakes it won’t be a big deal to anybody. The VMA people can just come out and say that the peformance was a bunch of rumors or that they had talks with Britney to do a performance and the talks stalled and nobody could reach an agreement. Or maybe she isn’t gonna show up anyway (non-flaky not showing up)

Amen to that, people need to get off her back. Baby steps, maybe it’s a start in the right direction.

This greedy whore is over paid. She doesn’t seem to get that she is not as liked as she once was, and crap like this she used to pull all the time is harder to forgive now. Her fans are loyal though, they’re like women who get abused and still go back to their husbands. She is worthless trash, and a crappy mom too. Yuck!

Why doesn’t she just retire from showbusiness, she is already a multi-millionaire, she doesn’t need the money, why not just be a mother, travel, and do charity work instead of always trying to be in the spotlight. Living a life without getting constant attention is not the end of the world. 99% of the rest of the world population lives this way.

And 90% of the world wants the attention. 80% of the world would give alot to be in Britney’s position.

I respect Britney and admire her realism in hollywoods realm of of fakeness, but damn girl get a makeup artist to do your face next time! And go back to your old blonde colour instead of boring platinum straightness. She used to be so fit and healthy looking but all the fast food, cigarettes have stolen her glow. Its not irrepairable though. Just hit the gym get your body healthy and ready for gigs, and just eat the healthy stuff. Better said than done lol. Gimme more is gna be huge, i absoloutley love it now. I can’t wait for her album.

The songs suck, this “appearance” sucked and Britney-dumb-ass-Spears sux the big one. She is over, no matter how the 10 fans who flood these blogs try to slice it. The girl does not care and so no one cares about her either.

aghhh every other website is reporting something differen! x17, tmz..this one…theyre all saying different things

Comment by Chris

Actually Ruth,

They are ALL reporting the same main facts:

She was scheduled to attend, wanted to back down, either changed or was forced to change her mind and made the appearance.

The actual details may be slighty different on each site. some said she changed her mind, while some that she was forced to attend. I would tend to go with she was force.

I am very curious to see if she tries to pull the same shit at the VMA’s.

If this is true (and I believe it is), I hate that she always feels entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Regardless of what she is paid if it wasn’t for her fans she wouldn’t still be making money or have the opportunity to make these 15 minute appearances for this much money. Can she for once take her appearances and concerts seriously and interact with the people she was paid to interact with for at least an hour. It’s not too much to ask. Guess she’s still a spoiled brat. She will never get out of the hole she’s dug herself in until she shows more maturity and dedication to her career and her fans.

So she showed up…2 hours late, ignored her fans, and sent the club who had promoted her and paid her lots of money into a tailspin. How is that responsible or respectable? The only press they got out of this was about everyone biting their nails about whether she’d even show. Christina Aguilera, Nick Lachey and Wilmer Valderama are all investors in that club. Any one of them would have shown up on time, done what was expected of them, and not had the club on edge, and no negative press.

And….this comment: I respect Britney and admire her realism in hollywoods realm of of fakeness. She’s as fake as they come. What is there to respect about her? Doing what (and who) you want, when you want, by any means necessary, with no regard to who it hurts or affects is neither respectable or admirably “real”. Its irresponsible and immature. That way of living has gotten her to the point where her kids could be taken away. Is that “real”? I admire the girls in Hollywood with the balls to walk away from these situations, and who know that keeping some sort of dignity is worth more in the long run, even if they get a few less pictures of themselves in the tabloids because of it.

KT, I agree with your post 100%. I didn’t know Nick and Wilmer invested in the club. I know Christina did. And I agree with your comment about all three of them showing up and doing what they were supposed to do. I’m not a fan of Nick’s or Wilmer’s but they do seem to be awfully professional. And I know Christina is def. professional. Nobody would have to deal with any bullshit with those three.

KT, how many hollywood girls do you know that can walk away from a custody battle with one of the biggest slouche’s to ever infect its way into the business? All that is true, you don’t respect somebody like that. However Britney isn’t like that so it doesn’t matter. It’s not how she is living that her kids may be taken away, it’s deciding to get a divorce with somebody who is a plain gold digga. Plus saying that she sleeps around is obviously a lie. Having a boyf dont meen u sleep wiv em straight away. She probably has less sex than a teenage girl. Casual sex is common and accepted, but she don’t do it anyway wheres the evidence? I don’t know when she has ever hurt somebody with her actions, and if she ever hurt somebody emotionaly, she was never the one tolight the match.

I know the people that read my posts probably think I never have anything nice to say. I made a pretty positive post about her leaked songs so it’s not like I can’t think of anything positive to say ever. Believe me when I say if I felt Britney looked good or she did something good, I would def. post something positive. I’m not at all fond of her “whatever” behavior and I’m not gonna sit back and try to think of something positive to say when I feel a positive comment isn’t warranted for this kinda behavior. It’s not like I was out at LAX waiting to see her. I live in a completely different place than where LAX is even at. I know some of yall are probably thinking that she doesn’t need to do anything for her fans besides releasing stuff for the fans to buy. Don’t you think that’s kinda fits into the “getting off on the wrong foot” attitude? “I know it’s been years since I’ve put out a new cd but I don’t really give a damn either way. Eh, I don’t want to show up at that hotspot. Go fuck yourself fans. Oh whatever. Be sure and buy my new cd and perfume though!” It’s disgraceful for any celeb to do that imo. How can a celeb have any kind of fanbase support when the celeb in question has an attitude like that? How?

if she did all her duties for the club why do you try to make her sound bad for only staying an hour? it’s pointless because had she stayed, you’d be dogging her out for being out so late. :/ you two make try to make this woman look bad no matter what. but you really need to get over it.

 
Comment by Missy
2007-09-02 17:53:26

Is there anyone out there that wishes her well? She is a young woman that has been through a lot and has come unglued in the public eye. She obviously needs constant attention and reassurance. Maybe if someone close to her stood firm and tried to guide her in the right direction she could turn around.
