$61 Million: Britney's Stupidity Bill

Friday May 2, 2008
Britney Spears Clapping

When Britney Spears shaved her head last February and turned her run-of-the-mill Hollywood eccentricity into free-freaking hyperdrive, we knew she'd pay a price, the only question was how much.

Now, In Touch Weekly is quoting an insider that put's the figure at $61 million -- and that's not counting the $50 million she passed up by not touring.

That's an awful lot of underwear she didn't buy, and clearly didn't wear.

“It’s staggering how much money has been used up,” an insider tells the magazine. “It’s been quite a challenge getting things under control.”

Britney's father is now managing her affairs.
