Quick Hits for August 16th: Britney Spears Ordered to Pay Up, Top Earning Women of 2018 and Madonna Turns 60

Britney Spears Ordered to Pay Up

Spears fought Federline, and Federline won. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have been locked in to an intense child support battle for months now and a judge seems to be leaning in K-Fed’s direction.

The singer argued that $20 thousand a month should be enough for their two children, but her former backup dancer says more is needed. Federline was also asking for his legal fees to be covered. This would be somewhere in the quarter million dollar range, for those keeping score.

Court officials have ordered Spears to pay $110 thousand, so far, to go towards Federline’s legal fees… as for the monthly support payments?? We’re not there, yet.
