(KP International) Britney Spears is being sued by three of her former bodyguards who claim the now-pudgy pop princess bamboozled them out of overtime pay.
Lonnie D. Jones, Randy Jones and Silas Dukes all claim the 'Toxic' singer had them on call 24/7, even causing them to miss meals, but Brit allegedly refused to pay them overtime above their regular salaries (which are reportedly between US$2,400 and US$3,350 per week).
Apparently the three were all fired on November 30th but argue none of them received their final paycheques.
As if Spears didn't have enough on her plate - she is currently the subject of a life-size sculpture due to go on display in New York on April 7 at Brooklyn's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery.
Daniel Edwards' 'Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston' depicts a nude Spears on all fours giving birth to her son on a bearskin rug.
"I admire her," said Edwards about Spears. "This is an idealized figure... Everyone is coming at me with anger and venom, but I depicted her as she has depicted herself seductively. Suddenly, she's a mom."
