Following the news that Britney Spears has left rehab - and has devised a child custody arrangement with Kevin Federline - comes a rumour that the 40 million album-selling pop superstar is going broke.
In the last 24 hours Britney left Malibu's Promises Center following a three-week stay. She and KFed have reportedly agreed to split care of the couple's two children on an equal basis until Britney's better again, at which point the children will return to her and KFed will get full visitation rights.
But according to the Daily Star, Britney is now afraid of bankruptcy, having spent a reputed two-thirds of her $30 million fortune. I don't think most of us would be afraid with $10 million in the bank, but it's obviously a different world celebs live in. The timing of her financial worries could be better: "She has to concentrate on staying sober," a friend was quoted as saying. "But she can't do that if she has to worry about going broke - which is exactly what she thinks will happen."
