Britney Spears Pays The Price Of Fame

Last ten years have been like a rollercoaster ride for Britney Spears. Now she has a #1 album again, and soon she will launch her concert tour in New Orleans. Britney hopes to regain so much more, to fully reclaim the adulation and fame she had exactly 10 years ago, when her controversial single “Baby One More Time” shot to the top of the charts on Jan. 30, 1999.

But it won’t be easy at all. If she wants to climb back to the top, she knows there are sacrifices to be made. For starters, it’s spending less time with her two adorable sons, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2.

Now, OK! has learned exclusivly the extraordinary price the singer is paying for her comeback, voluntarily giving up the fight to regain custody of her boys in exchange for fame.

Last fall, as her upcoming concert tour was being organized, Brit’s camp discovered that because of the star’s history, they could not purchase insurance to cover her tour unless she was still under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears. Until that point, the plan was for the conservatorship to be lifted on Dec. 31, followed by Britney, 27, heading to family court with a petition to regain custody of Preston and Jayden.

But an insider tells OK!, “The insurance situation changed everything.”

“Whether it was her decision or whether she was pressured into it, Britney’s deal with the devil put the tour ahead of the kids,” the insider tells OK!.
