Britney Spears turns down $3 million autobiography deal


How much do you think Britney’s life story is worth? Lindsay Lohan is rumored to have been paid $2million for her 22 year old story, Miley Cyrus got paid $4million for her tale of 16 years. Britney, at 27, has arguably had a much more interesting life, although perhaps her biography would be worth less since her mother sold a reasonable portion of the tale in her book Through the Storm. However, for Britney, $3million isn’t enough.

The singer summoned publishing bosses to her California home shortly before she embarked on her Circus tour, to discuss a big money memoirs deal to share her life with fans, reports Us Weekly magazine.

But Spears rejected multi-million dollar offers from executives at publishing houses HarperCollins, Random House and Little Brown, because they were a lot less than she expected.

According to insiders, Spears is seeking a figure closer to $8 million.

A source tells Us Weekly, “She was hoping for much more money.”

San Francisco Chronicle

I understand that she wants more money – this is the biggest exclusive ever, telling the whole, unadulterated truth about her teenage sex life (Justin Timberlake watch out!), her rise to fame, her pushy parents, her marriage, her teenage sister’s pregnancy, her mental breakdown and her comeback. Frankly, she could probably make $3million from selling just a portion of that story to People. If Miley Cyrus can get paid $4mil to whinge about how the public perceive her relationship with her father, surely Britney should get more than that, even if she isn’t technically writing it and is working with a ghost author.

I’d buy the Britney authorized biography – I want to know, if nothing else, what possessed her to wear that tunic top with no pants.

    Not-coming to a bookstore near you… “Mah Pussay is Hangin’ Out”, an in-depth look into the cacophony of America’s favorite bipolar schoolgirl.

    I think it’ll even answer your questions as to what possessed her to wear that tunic top with no pants ;p

    That’s right, Brit Brit. You have roughly an entourage of 130 hangers-on to feed. You gotta get paid.

    She has a huge fan base. Her tickets are selling like hot cakes. Miley Cyrus got how much? Then what are we arguing about? This is a business and sales and profit not a literary subject. OK?

    are they kidding 3 million for a book, she is at least worth 10 million, especially if she makes 800k a month back in 2008
