Britney Spears has failed to pay backup dancers who performed during the pop tart’s widely-panned performance of ‘Gimme More’ at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards.

According to US Weekly, Brit fired her management team, The Firm, before they could issue full payments to the dancers for their involvement in preparations for the show. A source tells Us Weekly, “The dancers were paid for the actual show and some of the rehearsals, but not all of them.”

(Insert head-shaking here) These entertainers should receive punitive damages just for being forced to be seen with her. That
