January 14, 201312 yr bitch needs to stay away from that shit! you ain't 60 year old granny :rolleyes:
January 15, 201312 yr Author What's wrong with Vegas?! Basically what Nick said. Those kind of deals are for has-beens and it also wouldn't let her tour the world for TWO years!!!! If you wanted to watch Britney live, the only option you'd have is to travel to Las Vegas to see her spectacle.
January 15, 201312 yr I wouldn't call Celine Dion a has-been. Her latest album has sold 1 million copies WW so far in only 2 months. I can totally see Mariah Carey doing Vegas, but not Britney. This rumour is obviously a joke.
January 15, 201312 yr It's not surprising though. She is a little past her time, let's be honest. Although I do like her music, the days where she was one of the most successful artists in the world are gone.
January 15, 201312 yr Scream & Shout smashing from left to right so she's definitely in the big game.
January 15, 201312 yr She'll bomb and it'll ruin her. Vegas is all about big voices and live bands. Neither she uses anymore.
January 15, 201312 yr Author I hope this means she'll use a band again (Onyx Hotel Tour was amazing with the band playing) and she sings live again.
January 15, 201312 yr Griff, she's very much still in the big leagues. Yes, her UK career isn't as big as it once was, but I still think she's a big deal (even more so now with S&S smashing). But her career in the US is bigger than anywhere else and she's just coming off one of her more successful eras (especially for radio) over there.
January 19, 201312 yr Author Vegas Residency Deal Not Signed Yet Despite PerezHilton reporting Britney signed her Las Vegas residency contract, it’s just not true. Robin Leech, the reporter who broke the story first, Tweeted: There’s no signed deal yet for 2 year Britney Spears residency in Vegas despite reports elsewhere BUT much heat & interest to get deal done Very reliable insider tells me “bidding war” to land Britney is ongoing- and is ‘bloody’ Rumors of Feb 22 Strip event doesn’t involve Brit Story developing… Source: BREATHE HEAVY
January 19, 201312 yr Author Vegas Residency Talks Confirmed Duh, but a local Vegas reporter, Norm Clarke, confirms Britney’s team is in talks with Caesars Entertainment about a headliner deal at Planet Hollywood. BreatheHeavy reported earlier Britney was not performing at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace. Planet Hollywood’s venue can hold 7,000 people, or change its occupancy to 4,000 for a more intimate setting. I have a feeling the deal will be confirmed VERY soon! Source: BREATHE HEAVY
January 19, 201312 yr Author Vegas Hotels Want Live Singing Is Britney performing in Las Vegas or not? Reports claim the deal is close to being finalized for residency at Planet Hollywood, but a source connected to the major hotel tells BreatheHeavy.com the bidding war is about her singing live. “The hotels fear that people outside of Britney’s fanbase would be disappointed by a lipsynched show,” says the insider. Many tourists in town who see shows are an older audience; hotels fear Britney may not attract a big enough crowd. “The hotels are afraid to take her on because they feel people will demand refunds if the show is lackluster and lipsynched.” Sing live, Brit. You’ll attract an even BIGGER audience! Source: BREATHE HEAVY
January 19, 201312 yr Author Good luck with that :lol: She won't sing live so the deal pretty much won't happen :cheer:
January 21, 201312 yr Author Vegas Deal Is Getting Complicated Vegas industry producers doubt Britney has what it takes to hold her own. “My gut tells me she doesn’t have the goods to deliver on a consistent basis,” said Adam Steck, who has five shows in town and the upcoming Boyz II Men, reports LVRJ. Steck believes the Vegas rumors are a “a big PR ploy” to distract audiences from her X Factor exit. Steck added the $200 million deal “could add up if sweetened with other things like club appearances and merchandising deals. There’s a rumor that Hakkassan (the Angel Management Group’s nightclub in the works at MGM Grand) may be involved.” “You’re rolling the dice. This is not Celine Dion,” said Joey Battig, who tried to sign Whitney Houston to a Planet Hollywood Resort deal in 2009. Rumors blazed last week claiming Britney signed a $200 million deal at Caesar’s Palace’s Colosseum, but insiders told BreatheHeavy.com it’s not the case. All fingers point to Planet Hollywood’s 7,000 capacity stadium instead. “The beauty of that (Planet Hollywood Resort) room,” said Battig, “is that you can curtain it off to 4,000 seats and expand if you sell more. I would bet they are guaranteeing her maybe half if she goes over 4,000.” “But I would only book her for Friday and Saturday. I think she would do 2,000 to 2,500 on a Friday or a Sunday; 4,000 on a Saturday.” It is thought Britney could receive $450,000 a night if she performs. “I wouldn’t guarantee her more than $150,000 a night, but I’d say, ‘Roll the dice with me on the back end,’ ” Battig said. “We were guaranteeing Whitney $450,000 a night, three nights a week for a year. That’s $1.3 million a week, $43 million a year.” That means Britney performs five shows a week for 32 weeks a year at an average ticket price of $150 to make $100 million, Battig said. Battig thinks “it’s a crap shoot” when it comes to signing Britney. A producer “has his head on the chopping block every night. If someone doesn’t show up, you can give the (refunds) back, but you can’t recoup those numbers.” Other costs most likely include $25,000 a night in rental for the venue, and $100,000 a week in advertising. “Then you’ve got stagehands, lighting, sets, catering, limos, handlers and entourages. Pre-production on the show would be $1 million,” Battig said. “Planet Hollywood has never done a big headliner because the risks are so high.” Sources connected to Planet Hollywood tell BreatheHeavy another problem in the bidding war is getting Britney to agree to sing live. “I wouldn’t take that risk.” He wouldn’t, but many would and are.

January 21, 201312 yr If Britney takes up a Vegas residency it would be a f***ing catastrophe. There is no way in hell she wants to do that.
