Britney Spears reportedly was alarmed when Jive was about to use her set for a younger and upcoming singer, Samatha Jade.
- Dec 5, 2007
AceShowbiz - Britney Spears' music video for 'Piece of Me' almost didn't make it when she arrived late at the set last Tuesday (November 27). The pop star arrived at Los Angeles' Social club well off the schedule and almost lost the chance to newcomer Samantha Jade.
Spears and Jade's label, Jive Records, was finding ways to cover up the expenses that may cost them a leg should Spears didn't show up at the venue. Jade was brought up as Plan B so that the production didn't go to waste.
Reports said that Spears who showed up twelve hours later than scheduled, was getting her make-up done at her Hollywood home and preferred to stay at home with her two young sons who she rarely sees. She was then alarmed after told that Jade was to take her slot to shoot a single called 'Eyes on Me'.
A source said, "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 (shoot) for Samantha, because it was too expensive to just scrap. Britney finally showed up when she realized a new, younger, hotter girl would take her slot."
No exact date has been plotted for the video's premiere but her official site hinted that it will be released at a "big event" before the year ends.
