Share this Story
Britney Spears’ has been hitting the party circuit hard and on New years the partying took its toll. Spears' was booked at $150, 000 to host a soiree at Pure in Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, to ring in 2007.
The singer partyed on in a sparkling mini dress drinking Dom Perignon champagne until shortly after midnight when she reportedly collapsed.
Spears had been seated on a VIP tented-cabana bed overlooking the dance floor at 12:50AM talking with one of her male dancers. She intimated she wanted to leave and as she stood up, "she went into a dead faint and just fell right to the floor."
Her group pulled her up and lay her on the bed at the same time as her personal security asked for the club to provide at least 10 other security managers to "get her out as quickly as possible." They surrounded the pop star in an attempt to screen her from all observers and the new years revelers on the crowded dance floor.
One woman in the Spears' entourage yelled, "Make sure nobody gets any photos. No photos anywhere." Two of her dancers wrapped Britney in what appeared to be a blanket-hooded poncho and removed her from the club.
For the brief time that Britney was inside Pure, she seemed in great spirits.She danced for the crowd to her song I'm A Slave For You and did not one but two countdowns - one outside and one inside.Inside the club she yelled "What happens in Vegas always stays in Vegas" and after the countdown she wished everybody a Happy New Year.
Britney’s camp has released a statement that the star felt faint from exhaustion and that she had not passed out from excessive drinking or other means. Manager Larry Rudolph insists "She was not drunk, she was just tired and falling asleep. By about one o'clock she was just done, so we took her out. There is nothing
out of the ordinary here." He also maintains that reports of a 12 strong security team literally dragging her from the club are false and that no medical attention was ever required.
