Brit Is Big Biz

from wire reports...
Britney Spears
may not be good for her kids' welfare, but she's great for the U-S economy. That's the word from Portfolio magazine, which has determined that Brit Brit generates about 120-million dollars in revenue for various industries every year.

The financial mag's editors say that tabloid magazines rake in an extra 75-million bucks every year thanks to Britney, and that folks who peddle products bearing her image bring down another 30- to 40-mil. Not surprisingly, America's paparazzi also do pretty well thanks to the singer's antics -- that they sell roughly four-million dollars worth of her photos per year.
