Britney Spears Bidding War Ignites Between Vegas Hotels

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

A bidding war for Britney Spears may give the singer solace that she’s still in demand after announcing her breakup with former manager Jason Trawick. News surfaced of a possible stint in Vegas soon after Spears revealed she’s quitting X Factor – after only one season.

According to Yahoo the bidding war may leave Spears $100 million richer,

It has been claimed the American singer is gearing up to sign a $100 million deal which would see her perform regular shows in Sin City.

Originally, it was believed she would ink a contract with one of the Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s venues, which famously owns the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino.

According to TMZ, Britney has actually been approached by two establishments owned by the company with another unrelated venue also vying for her time.

Time will tell which mega hotel & casino will book Spears. When the deal is complete the singer will reportedly be expected to perform 5-days a week and make additional appearances on the grounds. Not surprisingly, there are concerns over the singer’s well-being.

Yahoo added,

There has been some concern about whether she would be able to keep up with the rigors of a Las Vegas residency, after she was slammed for being bland on the TV program. The star is also still the subject of a court-ordered conservatorship following her 2008 meltdown, leading to fears she might not be mentally fit enough for such a demanding agreement.

Celine Dion, Cher, Bette Milder and many others have successfully completed stints in Vegas – can Britney do it?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
