Hey Brit Spender! The £135,000-a-month lifestyle of the lavish Miss Spears

Court papers have revealed that Britney Spears spends around £135,000 a month maintaining her celebrity lifestyle.

While that may seem excessive, it is hardly likely to trouble her bank manager, as she earns £354,000 a month.

Her budget includes £8,000 for clothes, £51,000 for "entertainment, gifts and vacations" and £25,000 for mortgages on her two homes.

Her phone bill costs £1,250 and restaurant bills add £2,350.

There is no mention of any savings or investments - but Miss Spears does give £240 to charity.

The documents detailing her accounts were submitted as part of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, 29.

They reveal that she is paying him £18,000 each month.

Of this, £8,000 is child support for their sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, and the remainder is spousal support, a payment which will end on November 15.

The pair, who married in a secret ceremony in October 2004, divorced in July.

Miss Spears's accounts and those of Federline will be examined by Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who is presiding over their case.

Recently, after describing Miss Spears, 25, as a "habitual drug and alcohol user", he ruled that Federline would continue to have primary custody of the boys.

Mr Gordon will discover from these papers, however, that Federline, a former backing dancer is hardly an accomplished businessman.

They reveal that he made £250,000 in a year in his attempt to launch a music career.

But most of it went on expenses, including investing heavily in his album, Playing with Fire, which was a flop.

After subtracting these, he netted just £3,700 in 2006.

And the royalties of £1,650 he took from his debut single Popozao would not keep him in clothes and restaurant meals for a month.

Federline's bills include £2,500 for entertainment, gifts and vacations, £3,250 for rent, £1,000 for clothes, £750 on eating out and £375 on phone bills each month.

He does spend more than his ex-wife on car and life insurance - £1,500 a month compared to £380. But she spends £770 on grocery shopping compared to his £360.

Hardly surprisingly for someone with two large houses, Miss Spears's bills for gas, electricity and water are a whopping £4,925 a month whereas Federline spends just £312.

Interestingly, her accounts show a £37,000 a month bill for medical insurance for herself and the boys, which is thought to be a requirement of her recording contract.

She spends a further £4,420 on medical bills.

It emerged this week that Miss Spears is facing another legal battle, with her former manager, Johnny Wright.

Wright is suing her, claiming she owes him more than £7,200 in "back commission".

The suit, filed in Florida, claims she is legally obliged to pay Wright Entertainment Group for all deals he negotiated while he was her manager.
