Britney Spears’ conservator earns 500k


One of Britney Spears' co-conservators will earn almost $500,000 this year.
The 'Piece of Me' hitmaker's personal and professional affairs have been controlled by her father Jamie Spears and Andrew Wallett since her breakdown in 2008, and a new court order has increased the payments the two men receive for their work.
The judgement rules: "For 2014 in the amount of $426,000 to be paid Mr. Wallett. The proposed 2014 compensation shall be paid monthly, in the amount of $35,500, payable on the first day of each and every month, to commence on January 1, 2014."
Jamie has also asked for the amount of money he receives to increase to allow for a higher rent on his office space.
According to RadarOnline.com, he claimed in court documents: "As my rent has steadily escalated over the last three years, I request that I be reimbursed an additional $800.00 per month for my office expense for the time period of November 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013.
"[I ask] that I be authorised to spend the sum of $2,000 monthly, rather than the previously ordered $1,200 monthly, for my office space in a secure location that is dedicated to Britney's activities."
Judge Reva Goetz said the payments were important to ensure Britney's career and interests are run properly.
She said in the court order: "The conservatorship estate entails the active management of Britney Spears substantial career, business interests and assets as well as numerous trusts and entities. The conservatorship estate represents a portion of the conservatee's total assets."

Stevie Nicks regrets drug treatment


Stevie Nicks "lost eight years" of her life to prescription medication.
The Fleetwood Mac singer no longer has faith in the medical profession after being prescribed Klonopin, an anti-anxiety drug, to help her from relapsing into cocaine addiction in 1986 but now doesn't think the pills were necessary and can't help but wonder what would have happened in her life if she hadn't had the treatment.
She said: "I was on Klonopin. It's a tranquiliser. You're tranquil. I stayed home in a really beautiful house, watched a lot of TV, and ordered from Jerry's deli. I went from 125 up to 173 pounds.
"One day I woke up and said, 'This doctor is insane. He's a groupie who wanted to have me come in a couple times a month to talk about rock 'n' roll'. I learned a valuable lesson. Never trust doctors, ever. I called up my best friend and said come get me and take me to a hospital. I spent 45 days there and got over it.
"I had gotten out of Betty Ford [rehab clinic] three months before I went to see him and I was doing great. But everyone was worried I was going to start using cocaine again. So I lost eight years of my life. Think of what could have happened during those eight years. I might have gotten married, I might have had a baby, I certainly would have made more albums."
Despite many years passing, Stevie, 65, still feels resentment towards the doctor.
Asked if she is still angry, she told the New York Times newspaper: "If I was driving a car and he was crossing the street I might run over him."

Sandra Bullock’s emotional Jay Leno tribute


Sandra Bullock cried on Jay Leno's show last night (05.02.14).
The 49-year-old actress couldn't keep her emotions in check as she paid tribute to the talk show host on his second-to-last episode of 'The Tonight Show', from which he is bowing out after over 22 years.
She said: "I'd like to say something. I'm going to start crying. You've always been so kind. That's saying a lot in this business because we like to be mean.
"There's not been one time that you haven't treated me like I had something to offer. Even when the film was horrible and you knew it, you never let me see it in your eyes. When I made crazy life decisions you never questioned [them].
" You were always so welcoming and every single person on your crew was that way consistently and I just felt special even when I felt very insecure.
"And everyone I think, in this room and in this country, has felt that every day that you've been in their homes and I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of this."
In response, Jay kissed her hand and said: "Well, you are special."
Sandra - who was making her 20th appearance on the show - made her tribute after Jay teased her about flop movie 'Speed 2', noting he could finally ask rude questions.
He quipped: "I don't care anymore!"
