May 15 2009Jamie Spears: 'I had legal right to punch Sam Lutfi out'
Sam Lutfi is currently suing Jamie Spears and claiming Britney's dad assaulted him. Except Jamie's not taking this lying down and basically told the court he had the legal right to kick the shit out of Sam, according to TMZ:
In legal papers filed today, Jamie is very careful to not admit he punched Lutfi in the chest at Brit's house last year -- as Lutfi suggested in a recent lawsuit. However, Jamie says the law allows him to open a can of whoop ass if the situation calls for it -- and according to the docs, the Lutfi situation called for it.
Jamie claims "he was provoked" by Lutfi and was "privileged to use force in and about the matter complained."
He adds, "Any necessary force may be used to protect from wrongful injury the person or property of oneself, or a wife, husband, child, parent or other relative or member of one's family."
I can't even believe this is an ongoing court battle. I pretty much assumed Jamie's lawyers would simply point at Sam Lutfi and say "Hey, remember when we kept seeing Britney Spears' vagina? It was that guy's fault." BAM! Case closed. Who wants sandwiches?

Apr 29 2009Sam Lutfi slapped with three year restraining order
After a lengthy court battle with Britney Spears' conservatorship, a judge has issued a permanent restraining order preventing Sam "I'll Piss On Your Grave" Lutfi from going anywhere near the pop singer or her children. Jon Eardley, an attorney who claimed Britney tried to hire him, has also been shut down, according to TMZ:
Britney and both her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, are protected under the order. Lutfi and Jon Eardley are not allowed to go within 100 yards of Brit's home, job or workplace.
Sam and Jon also have to stay away from K-Fed's place and any of Britney's family members' homes.
The conservators filed for the restraining order because they said Lutfi and Jon were trying to torpedo the conservatorship by contacting Britney behind their backs.
I like how they included Kevin in the restraining order. I'm sure they didn't have to, but it's nice they make him feel special. Also, he earned his Britney-money the old-fashioned way: Knocking up an insane rich woman. You gotta respect that.
Apr 2 2009Sam Lutfi's sister: 'Britney tried to end conservatorship'
Seen here in two new shots from her Candies ad (Because why go back to looking at the non-CGI version?), Britney Spears allegedly concocted the plan to have Sam Lutfi hire a lawyer to battle her conservatorship. At least that's what Sam's sister Christina claimed during her surprise testimony in his restraining order hearing yesterday. People reports:
"[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam," said Christina, 25, whose brother had once been Spears's manager. "She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids."
Spears allegedly told Christina to meet her on the fifth floor gym of the Peninsula Hotel on Jan. 16. When Christina arrived, Spears was working out with her mother while a bodyguard stood nearby. But they rendezvoused in a sauna where Christina gave her a phone, saying it was from Sam and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, which Spears then hid in a locker. "She asked me, 'Will Sam be able to help me?'" Christina added.
The phone, however, was later discovered by Spears's security team and confiscated from her purse.
Okay, there are two giant red flags here that let me know this is bullshit:
1. Christina came out of the same uterus as Sam Lutfi. 2. She not only claims Britney Spears is capable of being the mastermind behind all this, but also came up with a plan that didn't involve onion rings. -- I rest my case.

Feb 24 2009Britney Spears is so grounded
Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears is currently fighting to get a permanent restraining order against Sam Lutfi. Jamie appeared in court yesterday to testify that Sam has been contacting Britney in an attempt to disrupt the conservatorship. Except all this might be because Britney Spears got caught with a prepaid phone. People reports:
Under her father's care and control, Britney Spears now lives a protected life, her access even to telephones strictly restricted.
So when the 27-year-old pop star managed to get a prepaid cell phone recently, her security team confiscated it from her purse while she was at a dance practice. Confronted, she revealed the phone was given to her by someone during a hotel stay.
And that person, she disclosed, got it from two men whom her father wants to keep permanently in the singer's troubled past: ex-manager Sam Lutfi and former boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.
For the record, Sam Lutfi and his douchebeard should be allowed nowhere near Britney Spears. Yeah, the Predator look was hot, but it's kind of a turn off when the SWAT team shows up to take her kids. That said, I think Britney has found the ultimate scapegoat while under her dad's supervision.
JAMIE: Britney, who used my laptop as a cheese grater?
BRITNEY: Sam Lutfi.
JAMIE: Britney, who drove the BMW into the pool?
BRITNEY: Sam Lutfi.
JAMIE: Britney... who won the VMAs?
BRITNEY: Sam Lutfi. I mean, wait-
JAMIE: Ah HA! Gotcha.
BRITNEY: Uh, Sam Lutfi made me do it?
JAMIE: .... That bastard.
Feb 4 2009Sam Lutfi is broke. Who saw that coming?
While nobody, including Sam Lutfi, thought his lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents was for anything but money, TMZ has uncovered information that shows Sam is up to this douchebeard in debt:
According to documents obtained by TMZ, a lien was slapped on Lutfi's condo back in April. Lutfi never paid the debt, which grew to $18,507.58 by November.
The lien was filed by a debt collection agency on behalf of the homeowner's association where Lutfi has a condo.
According to docs, Lutfi has until February 10 to pay up or the condo could be forced into foreclosure.
And Lutfi has other financial issues. A bank that issued Sammy boy a Discover Card filed a lawsuit against him last month, claiming he owes $7,966.98.
Of course, legal eagle here has an iron-clad case with his alleged text from Britney Spears that reads "Sam, so that's fine, I want you to be my manager. You were right it's 15 percent of my money but for 4 years not 5." Because it's not like anyone could prove in court he had access to her phone while she was off her Frappucino rocker. Oh, wait.
Feb 3 2009Sam Lutfi sues Britney Spears and her parents
In an unbelievably retarded legal move, Sam Lutfi has filed a lawsuit against Britney, Jamie and Lynne Spears claiming "libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract." TMZ reports:
According to the papers, Sam claims Jamie and Lynn "launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life."
In the lawsuit, Sam claims he was standing in Britney's kitchen on January 29, 2008 when Jamie stormed into the house. Lutfi alleges Jamie yelled at him, claiming Sam made a rude comment to Lynne the night before. Then, Sam claims, Jamie "intentionally punched him in the chest" and threatened to kill him if he ever heard Sam make a rude comment about Lynne or any member of the Spears family again.
All the claims of libel and defamation spring from Lynne's book, "Through the Storm." Lutfi says since the publication of the book, he "has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn."
As for the breach of contract, Sam claims he had a verbal contract with Britney for 15% commission and wants his unpaid management fees. Considering she's been declared mentally handicapped by the state, that's the legal equivalent of me saying I have a verbal contract with Grimace for all the free cheeseburgers I can eat. Well played, Matlock.

Jan 31 2009Britney Spears' dad slaps Adnan Ghalib, Sam Lutfi with restraining orders
Jamie Spears has obtained a temporary restraining order against Sam Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib and John Eardley, an attorney who, a year ago, attempted to challenge Britney Spears' conservatorship without having any legal grounds to do so. The three have been conspiring together to make a new run at the conservatorship, so Sam and Adnan can get their collective douchebeards on her money and toned sober ass. TMZ reports:
Sam allegedly was calling lawyers saying that Britney wanted to hire her own lawyer, presumably to fight the conservatorship. Sources tell TMZ that is definitely not what Britney wanted.
Under the TRO, Lutfi, Ghalib and Eardley must stay 250 yards away from Britney, her parents and her kids. The TRO also prohibits the trio from "acting on Ms. Spears' behalf...inducing or assisting another person to file legal pleadings" on her behalf.
Interesting fun fact: In the petition for the TRO, it says Brit has been communicating with Adnan and that "Ms. Spears innocently informs Mr. Ghalib of her destinations and that he then arranges for paparazzi to meet and film her to his financial benefit."
If there's anyone out there who thinks Britney should be left to her own devices, just scope out the pics I've included which are surprisingly not from Predator 3: Give Me Chalupas or Give Me Death. I'm not saying she was completely crazy back then, but I've seen crackheads at the bus station I'd leave a child alone with first.

Aug 11 2008Lynne Spears' book not so much about parenting, more about her kids' private lives (That's sweet.)
Lynne Spears new book Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World will hit bookshelves next month and it appears ol' Lynne is cashing in her kids' lives. The book includes chapters on Britney's meltdown and Jamie Lynn's teenage pregnancy.

"The stories Lynne shares reveal the heart of a mother who struggles to keep faith at the center of her life through its many unexpected twists and serendipitous turns," the prereview states. The book retails for $24.99.
According to BreatheHeavy, a Britney fansite, the publisher says the book sheds light on much more, even touching on Britney's breakdown, Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy and the infamous Sam Lutfi.
The Superficial has obtained an advanced copy of the book and would like to present its readers with an exclusive excerpt from the Sam Lutfi chapter. Through the Storm on bookshelves Sept. 16:
IX. Douchebeard at the Helm
There we were in Britney's living room. She demanded I let her watch Crossroads for the third time that night or else she'd eat an entire bucket of chicken and throw her career down the toilet. This was, of course, months after the MTV VMA debacle, so I couldn't have cared less if she wanted to devour a live buffalo. (I would eat those words later during a trip to the zoo.) When I explained to her she was holding a decorative basket full of pine cones, the situation became nuclear.
"Stop sleeping with my boyfriend! MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!"
Much to my horror, she began eating the pine cones. She always had strong teeth as a child, but my word, those things didn't stand a chance. Sam Lutfi simply laughed and continued stuffing that damn duffel bag of his full of cash. You figured he'd at least be subtle about it, but that's when I knew: I had to have him.
We made love in the garage, and to this day, I never knew if Britney saw the whole thing. I didn't even notice her there until she tried to butter her toast with the hedge clippers. Fortunately, no one got hurt except for the bodyguard she stabbed to death. His family asked a lot of questions. I mean, geez, get over it already.
