Enrique Iglesias Bows Out As Britney's Opening Act

Enrique Iglesias dropped out of the upcoming Britney Spears concert tour because his ego couldn't handle being her opening act. Lawyers and agents for Britney and Enrique were working out an agreement for weeks, and the terms were "finessed" to make Enrique appear to be a co-headliner.  We're told both sides agreed to the deal and that's why the announcement was made on Tuesday.

But just hours before Britney's camp went public, Enrique was on the phone with various people connected with the tour in lengthy conversations in which he made it clear -- he was, in reality, Britney's opening act and he wanted out. One source says the deal was actually very favorable to Enrique according to TMZ ... "great terms and great placement."  But we're told it all came down to taking the stage before Brit -- too much to handle. So money can't buy you "everything" especially humility. Come on E.I. I mean its not like your a bigger start than Britney or does your ego blind you from that reality also...
