Last week Britney showed up 12 hours late to shoot her music video, Piece of Me, and now we know the motive behind her finally getting there: she felt threatened by a younger, hotter, sleeker singer. Page Six reports that Jive Records put $500,000 on the line, but had a backup plan to use the set in the event the moving target bailed on them:
"Jive hired Wayne Isham to direct, had all the dancers there -
hair, makeup and everything," our source added. "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."
"They were going to recalibrate it for Samantha, because it was too
expensive to just scrap," our source said. "Britney finally showed up
when she realized a new, younger, hotter girl would take her slot."
I was curious who Samantha Jade was. Here's her video "Turn Around."
