Club owners defend Spears appearance
Executives at a Las Vegas nightclub insist they are happy with Britney Spears' controversial New Year's Eve appearance, even though she made worldwide headlines for falling asleep.
Media reports claimed bosses at Pure nightclub were furious with the Toxic star and were refusing to pay her $400,000 (€306,900) fee after she violated her contract.
It was reported Spears collapsed and had to be carried out of the club, but her representative insists the mother of two merely feel asleep from exhaustion.
A spokeswoman for the club has slammed the speculation and tells The New York Daily News that Spears' payment was "less than half" of the reported $400,000 (€306,900) fee and that she wasn't penalised for leaving early.
She adds: "Britney had a great time. We love her and can't wait for her to come back."
