Is Britney Spears feeling a bit intimidated? Last week Brit-Brit shot her music video for her latest single “Piece of Me” but she naturally showed up hours late to the shoot.
The only reason she reportedly even showed up was because she was told by her record label, Jive Records, that her video shoot was going to be given to a younger up-and-coming singer. That’s when Britney jumped and made it to the shoot.
A Jive insider tells Page Six. “Jive hired Wayne Isham to direct, had all the dancers there — hair, makeup and everything…But she refused to come. Jive was really upset. They were already paying everyone overtime, and finally Britney showed up 12 hours late — but only after they told her they were going to give the video shoot to another Jive artist, Samantha Jade.”
This Samantha Jade girl was told to by on stand by because they sorta figured Britney would try to pull this kind of shit. “They were going to recalibrate it for Samantha, because it was too expensive to just scrap,” says the source. “Britney finally showed up when she realized a new, younger, hotter girl would take her slot,” the insider said.
I thought stuff like this only happened in the movies. The older singer gets intimidated because there is a younger up and coming star that’s gonna take away from the spotlight. I guess movie directors get these ideas from real life incidences.
