Britney Spears Was Paid $200,000 For Falling Asleep

Britney Spears was supposed to receive $400,000 for hosting Pure's New Year's Eve bash.

Sources say Pure nightclub in Las Vegas wants to nix her almost half-million dollar appearance fee, after she violated the contract.

"Britney failed to spend the agreed amount of time in the club, because she had to be helped out after collapsing," alleges a close source.

The tipster also says the club is "furious" with her because of her PR spin that she merely fell asleep — implying the place is boring.

Britney's rep dismissed the story. Her remuneration was "less than half" of $400,000 and that she wasn't penalized for leaving early.

Don't ask me why anyone would pay Brit $200,000 to count down from 10. I'm at a loss for words.
