Britney Spears has a serious serious problem - she's a shopaholic. According to Tony Barretto, the world's most famous tattling former bodyguard, Spears will routinely burn through thousands of dollars a day just buying crap - despite efforts by Britney's handlers to curb her runaway spending. Said Barretto:
The other bodyguard and I would have to carry the cash which was delivered to us daily in a white money bag to pay for whatever she wanted to buy. ... She could certainly spend money - even in junk shops. In one, she spent $8,000 on stuff including an old chandelier. I spent 45 minutes putting up the thing for her and then it didn't work. Britney's response was, "Get rid of it."
Hmm...this Barretto guy may be a great snitch, but apparently he ain't shit as an electrician. I wonder what kind of chandelier it was anyway. One of those really classy ones that look like a wagon-wheel I'll bet. "I seen one of those in a Denny's and I always wanted one." This ain't exactly earth-shattering stuff Barretto is giving us, is it? Britney does dope, Britney's insane, Britney blows money faster than Robert Downey, Jr. in Tijuana. Why not give us something we can sink our teeth into Tony? Like, "Britney once read a whole book. It was a pop-up book, but it was a book." That would blow me away.
