Pop star must dish out the dough

Britney Spears has been ordered by a Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

Commissioner Reva Goetz today (April 17) said that Spears must pay more than $372,000 to various attorneys for their services representing the pop star and her family in legal cases over the past several months.

The commissioner also delayed action on a motion to put Spears' companies and business entities in her trust, reports the Associated Press. The motion is now set to be heard on July 31.
