Britney Spears' team has almost locked an enormously lucrative deal which will make her a fortune in return for appearing in Las Vegas ... TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... Britney is seriously considering picking up stakes and making her residency Las Vegas -- something just made easier after her split with fiance Jason Trawick. She's been negotiating with one of the Caeser group properties to appear in a Celine Dion-type show.
Sources connected to the negotiations tell us ... from Brit's standpoint, "The deal is a go. There are several stipulations that could throw a monkey wrench in the deal, but it's basically done."
One of the outstanding issues -- exactly what Britney will be doing. There's back-and-forth over whether she will just perform on stage at a big theater multiple nights a week, or whether she will also make appearances at functions in the hotels, nightclubs and pool day clubs.
Our sources say the money being negotiated is "astronomical" -- more than Celine's $100 mil a year.

britney can still put out #1 albums and songs. i don't understand why she just won't put out this last album under rca, relax/semi-retire for a few years and come out under a new label and new direction.

its like a public admission of defeat in my opinion. as if her team is saying lets wave the red flag and put her in a casino because we're just going to let the public know she's irrelevant. what the fuck is larry thinking
Who would pay that much for her to waddle on stage in a too tight bedazzled costume, mime/forget some lyrics, look dead in the eyes and do some half-hearted body rolls and two steps?!
She's at that point in her career anyway where she might as well do more stuff like this coz she's not up to world tours/her usual performance standard.
Is there a reason why her label/fans won't let this caged bird fly or nah? I know I just shaded her but even I think this is harsh. Just LET HER GO!
I'd rather Beyonce retired TOMORROW than see her end up like Britney right now (btw I'm not talking about mental health, I mean as in weak, shoddy performances and clearly disinterested in her job).
I shade her so much but I am legit a fan (of this Britney)
i cant see the britney of 2013 even mustering a glance of owning the stage which is sad. :(
ffs I was away for ONE DAY. ONE DAY. Going to look at the Britney tag. brb
The thing is, is she the right type for a Vegas show? When I hear of people like Bette Midler, Celine Dion and Shania Twain getting Los Vegas shows, it makes sense. They've got the talent and the energy to put on a spectacle every night. And you pay top Dollar to see them. Would anyone really want to pay to see Britney lipsync and wave her arms around while on the strip? It's one thing when she's going out to her fans, because they'll support her in everything, but if she's staying put in one place and they have to come to her? I don't think she's much of an "attraction" per say.
But Brit Brit has surprised me before, so let's see.
Her finance team is pretty smart though - I'm sure they wouldn't lock her into a three year deal unless they thought people were going to come.
and she was at her peak...
I love my queen to death, but this is just... no
