Things are just on the up and up for ol’ Britney Spears. She’s got her career back together. Her kids enjoy her company. Britney’s even looking hotter than ever. Wait, wait. Scratch all of that, I was looking at a picture from 2002. Britney is still all gone to hell and it isn’t getting any better today. TMZ is reporting that Britney will have to pay for Federline’s lawyer fees from their custody battle afterall:

Britney has just been ordered to pay Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Daddy’s lawyer, $375,000 in lawyer’s fees.

Kaplan was asking for a cool half mil over a four month period in the custody fight. Commish Scott Gordon had initially ordered Brit to pay Federleze’s “reasonable” attorney’s fees. Brit’s lawyer said the fees were outrageous and the judge knocked it down some, but Kaplan now is deep in the green.

$375,000?! Britney only gets $1500 a week now from her daddy. If she saves every penny from that allowance it’ll only take her 250 weeks to be Even Steven again. And if we know anything about Britney it’s that she’s dedicated to sticking to a plan and taking care of things. Way to go Jamie and Lynn!
