Britney Rehires Former Assistant

020909bs2-20933

As she prepares for her most important tour, Britney Spears has been reunited with a longtime friend. Felicia Culotta worked for the singer from 1998-2007, but they had a brief falling out in 2007 during Britney’s much publicized breakdown. Culotta went on to work as an assistant for the Jonas Brothers but now Usmagazine.com reports she has returned to the Spears fold. Culotta stated:

“Britney has always held a special place in my heart, and over the course of the last year I have seen her work harder than she ever has in her entire life. Sadly, I am really going to miss the Jonas boys, but I felt I had to be a part of this exciting time in Britney’s career. I love Britney and missed her dearly.”

Well, if Britney’s embarking on a huge tour and taking her boys along, she’ll need all the experienced help she can get.

    Yes,Felicia is back. And… so what. I’m not doing any cartwheels over this. I don’t think her being back will hurt or help the situation. IMO.

  2. Amethyst Mine Says:

    I’m not doing cartwheels either. If she really is back do you think it if Jamie or Britney who brought her? I’d say hire but under the law Britney can not do that.

    She can however demand.

  3. small hands Says:

    Let’s see how this works out. I did not like how she left Britney the last time—with the letter and all. I figure friends don’t do that.

    I´m more worried over the F Culotta sentence: “Sadly, I am really going to miss the Jonas boys, but I felt I had to be a part of this exciting time in Britney’s career.”

    Is Calutto a kind of fundamentalist? Or is she a free christian soul? Anyone knows?
    I am terrified of all fundamentalist movements.

    About rumors about what Adnan have said.
    No, I don’t believe he have said anything of what this sourze tell.

    Yeah I saw it to, but that would be to easy, don´t you think?

    When it come to Perez, it have to be anything smashing about a gay “thing”, someone who Perez almost have kissed or something like that, or else he not go banana.. :mrgreen:

    Ama, do you know the history of Felicia Culotta aka as Fe?
    She was with Britney from the beginning of her career. I think, she’s know Britney since she was 7. Fe is a friend of Lynn’s and at Lynn’s request Fe became Britney’s assistant when she first started her career. She pretty much disappeared when B married Kevin, but reappeared in Hawaii w/Britney in April of 2006. In Nov of that yr, Britney files for divorce. In Dec, Fe writes a letter to a Britney site(don’t want to name the site or person she wrote to) claiming she doesn’t want to be an enabler to Britney and that is why she isn’t working with/for her anymore. If you ever read that letter, she was pretty much claiming Britney was an addict and she, and many who loved her, were no longer in her life because of “tough love” and they needed her “fall”….a certain word is used to describe it when talking about addiction, but I can not remember the word.
    That’s the history about that…at least how understood it.

  10. small hands Says:

    About the rumors of Larry and Britney not getting along right now, it wouldn’t surprise me if that were true.
    In Sept/Oct of 2006, before he re-entered the picture with Britney, he wrote some text messages to the owner of that same site I mentioned in my last post :) , and he didn’t have very kind words to say about Britney. Difficult to work with, etc., yet a month later he is by her side again. I figure, the money is worth it to him.

  11. small hands Says:

    I forgot to mention, the owner of the site posted the text messages at the time. He quickly removed them lol.

  12. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Might Perez be playing a role in the new If You Seek Amy video, which is shooting today?

    He might fit perfectly as the “obsessive stalker fan” or a plasticine-like “Ken Doll” that the casting agents were looking for!

  13. small hands Says:

    I sure hope not Steel. I am not a fan of Perez.

  14. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Small, That’s how I understood Fe’s note, too. When she referenced the word, “enabler,” it made me think of exactly what you said, too, or something similar that didn’t necessarily have to do with drugs (e.g. a high-and-mighty attitude that someone might develop if they were surrounded by fame.)

    Wasn’t “Heat” the last source of the sex tape rumours?

  16. small hands Says:

    Steel, you know the letter, I am referring to? Good. I wasn’t sure how many people had read it at the time.

  17. small hands Says:

    Ok, life is calling. Be back later.

  18. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Small, I’m not a fan of Perez either (he’s been NASTY to Brit in the past), but he just might fit for this:

    OBSESSIVE STALKER FAN / No Union Affiliation / Supporting / Male / Caucasian / 30-40

    …LOL!

  19. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Small, Sounds like this is the note of Fe’s you were referring to:

    “There’s just so much you can do to help a person – I don’t dare want to be an enabler, and I cannot love her enough for the both of us. I cannot convince her in ANY way to love herself. All I can do is be a friend, someone that loved her for MANY years unconditionally, and PRAY.”

    I never knew about the letters that were sent to the same site by Larry. Hmmm!

  20. Amapola Says:

    Thank you small

    ” “tough love” OMG!!!!!!!!

    I hope this F C still not think its proper to scared a already very afraid person in an aeroplan. Making jokes about that they plan will “sound strange” and so on.
    On top of that, then not stop, even if a scared and very anxiety-ridden Britney asked her kindly to stop this talk.
    I have seen this on a you tubu video.

    Then I saw that this Brett “Donkey” Miller use the same “tough love” treatment against Britney, stupid remarks and laugh on Britneys behalf.

    Britney is a mother of two, she is divorced, she is a very beloved artist in the whole world.
    She should not be treated like she is a child or a stupid cash cow.
    Yes, Britney get nervous when people are angry and scream around her. Maybe scary memories from her childhood?
    How expected that Britneys should increase the healthy stress level she need so well, in orderly life, when the people around her act like un natural and un aducated peopel?

    Is the people around her put together to fit her father and his members, or to fit Britney Spears?

  21. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Is there any chance that Felicia and Larry wrote to the same fan site at the request of Brit’s parents? Or that there was some kind of agreement to all work together?

    It seems like they all (parents, management, advisors) all stick together and use these sites as tools for AND against Brit…Whichever suits them at the time.

    P.S. Didn’t Fe also make a statement about her family, “no longer being on the payroll”? I remember thinking at the time that her family were using Fe to send a message to Brit…Much like I thought Adnan’s statements to Entertainment Tonight were being used to send a message to Brit.

  22. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Here’s the quote I was thinking of:

    “As we reported earlier, an e-mail from Felicia Culotta, an assistant to Spears, said the 25-year-old needs to get it together because she’s headed for “rock bottom” and was posted publicly on an Internet gossip blog.

    “I cherish ALL the incredible opportunities that came my way thru my job with Britney and am crushed/saddened/heart sick by the way her life is unfolding,” says the e-mail…

    The e-mail… was sent in response to an editorial “Why Britney Is Asking for It,” according to the blog.

    “I want you to know Ruben that WE (as in her Family and nearest and dearest — ALL of whom are not on the payroll anymore!!) are doing EVERYTHING in our power to get help for Britney,” writes Culotta, who says she worked for Spears for nearly 10 years, reported Access Hollywood.”

  23. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    I guess Jordan is the new Ruben? LOL

  24. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    That was a joke, for all you BH’ers who are reading along. LOL

    Okay, real life calls here, too. :)

  25. Amapola Says:

    Adnan on Entertainment Tonight ????

  26. small hands Says:

    That is the letter I am referring to. Yes I do believe her parents, her specifically, had a hand in it. “Rock bottom” was the term I couldn’t remember. Thank you Steel. :) Yet, her mom never said in her book that Britney’s problem was addiction, right? But even back then it seems that was the assumption.

    I don’t want to name the site or owner that all this happened at. I will drop a few hints. In late 2006, or early 2007, the owner went to several media outlets proclaiming he was no longer a fan of the star. His site was known to many as THE site for Britney news.
    The text messages started because Britney was a no-show for a promotional event for Kevin and his dumb CD. The texts stemmed from that incident. The owner posted the texts on his site, within days they were removed. I found it hilarious, that Larry went back to work for her a few months later.
    It’s why I question his motive for her working with her again.

  27. small hands Says:

    I’m really gone this time :)

  28. small hands Says:

    I posted this in another thread. It fits this one much better. From J at BH about Fe, Lynn, and Britney:

    “As for the rift between Britney and Fe a few years back?

    Britney’s mother Lynne was apparently very jealous that Felicia and Britney were so close, which in turn caused a lot of grief for Lynne, who is “very manipulative,” and may be a big factor as to why Britney and Fe’s previous relationship went sour.

    In fact, the source claimed Britney requested Felicia accompany Britney on the tour over Lynne.”

    This could explain a lot. If Britney did call her and ask her back, then I’m fine with it. To be continued I guess.

    Adnan on Entertainment Tonight ????

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Ama, I was referring to this interview:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHphv9WtTz8&feature=related

    Adnan makes some remarks at around 5:42 that I always found odd, since they didn’t jive with what was reported in the media at the time.

    However…

    After reading Sam’s lawsuit, things started to make sense. Sam alleges, in claim #26 that, “…Lynne even went so far as to request that Britney’s then boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, give a television interview, insinuating that Lutfi had provided Britney with illegal drugs and blaming him for all of Britney’s bizarre behaviour.”

    While we can *of course* take Lutfi’s claims with a HUGE grain of salt, his allegation actually verified what I had felt at the time I watched Adnan’s interview – that Lynn had somehow put Adnan up to doing the interview in order to worm herself back into Britney’s life.

    At the time, I thought this was a GOOD thing. But since then, I’ve grown to feel that Lynn was being manipulative by using Adnan’s goodwill for her own purposes.

    The fact that Adnan was later shut out of Britney’s life just added to this feeling.

  30. Amapola Says:

    Steel_
    We must try to remember that Sam Lutfi is a master lier who find holes where he can put in “belivebly truths” who benifit him and put everyone else in trubble.

    IF there is any truth of this almost dramaturgic happening, there will be interesting to see if the court find it. If he can twist their minds.

    I do so hope that Adnan not have been used by the family. I do belive Adnan was afraid that Sam Lufti would have harmed Britney for life, if not her mother come to rescue.
    ONE person was serious and worried. Adnan.
    And he have only get trouble for that, from many parts.

    And then I hope the court take EVERY restictions away from Adnan, who should not be connected with a person like Lufti, only on Jamie Spears “belives”!!!!

    What kind of evidens is that?
    False dictum?

    Back to Sam Lutfi.Sam Lufi living on his own galaxy.
    In that galxy he is the master and we are his puppets. At least he lives in that “reality”.

  31. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    Ama, I agree with all you say.

    You always put things in a much more…introspective…way than I can muster.

  32. Steel_Magnolia Says:

    And the rumour mill continues to twist the story:

    “Adnan Ghalib still dating Britney

    …Adnan’s relationship with Britney, 27, was quickly curtailed when Britney’s father Jamie became her estate’s co-conservator – and was placed in control of her money and affairs – in February last year.

    In the same month, Adnan was given his first temporary order requiring him to stay at least 250 yards away from Britney – who was hospitalized at the time at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for observation.

    Adnan abided by its terms until July when the order expired and wasn’t renewed.

    However, Britney gained another temporary order against Adnan and her former manager Sam Lutfi which accused them both of trying to “disrupt” the conservatorship order earlier this month…”
