Jamie Says He Works Hard For The Money
Britney Spears’s much-anticipated tour debuts tonight and Daddy Jamie Spears claims he works 60-70 hours a week to keep his daughter’s show on the road.
TMZ reports that in a declaration to the conservatorship commissioner on Friday, Jamie claimed that he engages in “200 – 400 communications every day” to coordinate Britney’s life and affairs.
Daddy Spears justified his $16,000 a month salary by explaining that he oversees “medical, health, business, costuming, personal, security, household staff, and legal matters (touching upon entertainment, music, family law litigation, the resolution of numerous disputes, and the ongoing litigation and conservatorship matters.”
Gee, makes you wonder what’s left for Brit’s manager Larry Rudolph to do. I’ll bet it would be very interesting to see exactly who those ”200 – 400 communications every day” go to and what they’re about.

He does sound like a manager. No wonder Larry Rudolph is no longer in the picture as much.
So is a conservator, a manger, business partner, ????…what else.
What a joke.
March 3rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Larry must be doing something. He said he was very tired in his interview with Ryan Seacrest today.
If Jamie wasn’t on the tour with his 200-400 emails a day would the tour collapse? Or could an EMPLOYEE be hired to do the job?
Who did the work when Jamie was not around on previous tours? Sounded like Larry was doing it.
Would Larry trust Jamie, someone who has no experience in the music industry, with arrangements for the biggest show in entertainment history?
Let me just sit back and clap right now.
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Or, because he is the commander these days, did he just take over the parts that interested him away from Larry.
This is so FUBAR,that I can’t make sense of it.

Reviews for last night’s concert seem to be all over the board.
First, from watching some of the footage from last night, it looks like the stage was AMAZING!
What’s weird is…some of the costumes are gorgeous…and some are downright UGLY. A couple are almost exact rip-offs of some of Madonna’s old tour costumes. What gives?
And the part about her not interacting with the audience? I had the exact same complaint about Madonna’s show. It was so heavily choreographed that she barely spoke to the audience at all. It was actually kind of a bummer!
Overall, I was pretty proud of Brit for even getting up on stage again and pulling that off. She looked like she was having a good time. Of course she was going to be nervous – it was opening night!
March 4th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Did you think it strange that People.com went with an icy (or objective?) review?
Also, Steel. I loved Mannequin and the choreography. She nailed it. I don’t understand the lack of similar choreography in the tour.

DADDY DISPLEASED: ”I don’t know what [Jamie Spears] was smokin’, but he was very unhappy with Britney’s [first] performance of her ‘The Circus’ tour in New Orleans,” a close Spears associate said Wednesday. The tour comes to Rosemont on April 28 and 29.
”Britney was very unhappy [about her dad's remarks] and told him he was full of s—,” added the source.
Reportedly, the singer’s dad felt Britney’s ”timing was a bit off.”
Hey! Shouldn’t he be happy she’s got her life back on track?

The article I read yesterday said that her family was all there to cheer her on. The kids were back stage because it is too loud for them but even Kfed was there. They make it sound like he is supporting her in this but we all know that she paid him to come. He needs to be there to make sure the kids are there or all this will fall apart. Thats what they are holding over her head -its the kids plus maybe someone else. Who knows.
I think at her age she should not be doing all the crotch shots either. Who ever thought that up is creepy. Sorry but I just dont want to see that.
March 6th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
looks like everyone is lurking like me. Or like me they are really really busy. Just had to take a break and say hello!!!
March 6th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I read that Kevin made time for Harrah’s Casino while in the Big Easy. But maybe he squeezed in Brit’s performance while he was there, too!
And you know what I thought was creepy? The whirling black vortexes on her boobs!
I wish Brit would fire Larry and crew and hire ME to approve all of her costumes and promotional materials. (LOL!) I promise I could come up with something classier than body suits printed with fake tattoos, nipple tassles and the artwork that is “Circus.”
However…I DO have to dole out some compliments to DSquared (some good Canadian boys!) for some of the outfits. I really do like the ringleader outfit with the tiger mask, and the diamond-encrusted outfit she wears while in the cage performing “Piece of Me.”
It’s not ALL bad. But it really is hit and miss!
March 6th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
As far as the choreography…I wonder if she had to promise the insurance company not to do any fancy footwork (due to her busted knee)?
March 6th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
who knows what the insurance company wanted her to do or not to do. I dont like a lot of the costumes. Some just do not need to be on her. She is a grown woman and mother. She doesn tneed to dress like a stripper and there is no need for the stripper dances.
March 6th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
No its not all bad but I wonder who came up with this crap? Daddy dearest?
March 6th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
The vag shots are courtesy of her dad’s role in tour management? gross.
What is his role in this tour management?
March 7th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
As I see it, Britney can do what ever dance or acting number she want, on this tour, on the stage.
Yes, she is a mother, and a women, and an artist, and a singer, and a songwriter.
And she are born i a free country where she not should have to ask neigter her father or the public what she can do or not.
There are a lot of grown up artist, men and women who does a lot more “ventured” mowes in their profession. And they are still respected and have not to live with all those crap rules as Britney have to stand.
So why are all talking about Britney and try to give input on what she may or may not do?
Because everyone think they own her?
Much double moral standards going on, as long as it come to Britney Spears.
Its a show for goodness sake!
Nude is not dangerous, small-mindedness THAT is dangerous.
Poisons all the joy in life, and branch out like a prairie fire in the dry lifeless grass.
March 8th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
My sarcasm nor sense of irony did not translate to you.
On that note, have you noticed how Britney, still under c-ship, is blamed for every thing?
“Britney Spears is trying to put smut in front of our children.”
um. Britney did not write If You Seek Amy yet she is held solely responsible by the media for its creation and release and a motive?
“Britney gets TRO against Sam Lutfi and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.”
Really?
I’m confused … do you really think Britney is free as an artist much less a person, Ama? I think it ironic that she was persecuted for showing her privates (a move held against her in the question of necessary or unnecessary intervention(s)?) when free but now is exhibited and exploited doing just that, albeit with a strip of cloth?
You mistake my meaning.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
AM
I´m sorry you thougt my comment was on anything you had wrote. I did not even read your comment…
I read gigi and steel_ and I had a comment on what they had wrote about Britneys manners on the stage.
By the way, Britney said she love to perform and dance, its a marvelous feeling, better then any therapy, she said. And she is not a demure litte shy girl on stage or in person, as she said herself.
I do think she much do what she like on stage.
The ironic about the blame she get before and how it now is, that you have a good point in.
But what to say..there are many man boastfully and gready us man she have to support.
This women are the one who does it. Bring the dollars to them. Give them all something to survive on in this hard times.
For instance, making 3-400 tel calls a day, , is not what have done this show a success.
Its Britney who is the magnet, and her brilliant dancers and co-worker on stage, and also her music makers.
Again, I was not addressing you in my comment.
(If u Seek Amy..well AM, in other countries they call the reaction in US, about that song, for “fussi/splendid” )
Overreacting and a little embarrasing.

I just don’t like some of the costumes – they seem kinda tacky. But then I really love some of the others. Just my little ol’ opinion on “fashion” and graphic design.
It really wasn’t intended to be too serious. Honest!
March 9th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Steel_
I did understand your comment, I just was telling my point of view.
So much more is tacky this times.
It´s tacky how all sorts of man around Britney make use of her.
Maybe they hate Adnan so much because his not using her?
Because he don’t, their using of her stands out more clear? And then they hate him. Or is it simply racism behind what happening to him?
I cant blame Britney for the scenario, because she is living under the constant menace ……”Remember, I/we can take your child away.. if..”
Becasue I dont know anybody who think they taking control of her life just for support or help.
Its the old manschauvinism behavior, ugly, and hard to beat we see in action.
Nothing is so dangerous as a free women for them.
Funny that that little bit of skin and flesh can make man feeling like natural imperiors?
It have not any use when it come to thinking…
March 9th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Interestingly, the costumes of hers that I don’t like the most are the ones where she’s covered from head to toe! LOL (Okay, really it’s just the full bodysuit covered in tattoos that I’m turned off by…As well as all the artwork and merchandise for her Circus CD and tour, but that’s just a personal opinion…)
I do think we have much different standards or tastes here in North America when it comes to what we expect out of our celebrities…It’s maybe why European acts like Robbie Williams can sell out huge arenas there, but just can’t crack the market here.
And I don’t care what anyone says…I agree with you that race DOES play a big part in why people don’t like Adnan. (As well as that he’s associated in people’s minds with the “Lutfi-era,” and the public really doesn’t like that.) But deep down, nobody wants to admit it. Just my two cents.
March 9th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
P.S. After last night, I’d say we now know for certain that Brit DOES have a live microphone…and can (and will) say ANYTHING she wants to!
March 9th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I doubt that. She still can’t say what she wants if they are holding her kids hostage. She might say somethings but not anything she wants to.
March 9th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Ama I was stating my opinion. Its something that I can have all by myself and no one can take away from me. You do not have to agree with my opinion nor do you have to read my opinion. I still do not like all of her costumes. I do like some of them. I do not think she needs to be dressed as a stripper or dance with the stripper poles or show the vag shots. Again its just my opinion. You do not have to agree. Its all mine.
March 9th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
I agree steel that it is race related and also pap related. They don’t want her dating someone that is not the same race as she is nor do they want her dating a pap or former pap. They don’t understand it. Too bad for them. I would love for her to be able to do what she wants with who she wants since she lives in a free country.
March 9th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Okay, I was just thinking about this while out walking my dog…
Part of the reason that people don’t like Adnan *might* be because they don’t know him. There’s really nothing out there in the public eye to give them a good opinion of him. The North American public likes to know every gritty little detail about the lives of our celebrities (whether they be actors, musicians, politicians, reality TV stars, or…whoever), but we really don’t know much about Adnan. I mean, I know more about him after coming here, but before that I really didn’t know anything about him apart from the photos the gossip sites were turning out.
I know he’s a “celebrity by association,” but it still seems to me like he needs some good (and honest) PR right now. Again, just my opinion.
March 9th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
I agree he does need good honey PR. I’ve been convinced by the lack of things he did during and after he was with Brit. He could have said a lot of things in the media but he hasn’t nor do I think he will. His character shines bright here with me.
March 9th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
lol just leave out the word or words that dont belong in the last post. Not sure what I was drinking. Guess I was just having wishful thinking.

No performer should have to worry about embarrassing wardrobe glitches.
I’m confused between the gold outfit she seems to be readjusting versus the Slave for You video that’s being shown in a different outfit.

Sure racism exists but I don’t think it’s that simple.

March 10th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Radaronline has the audio?… How did they use?… What did they get out of it?… Playing ball with the spear?… Or held hostage by the truth? Or just another strawberry?
Cant wait for the next couple of days to see what else radar may have for us.
Come on Ronnie, whats happening?
March 10th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Sounds like a strawberry to me Mark.
March 10th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
If they are not a strawberry but have lost their nerve maybe they will sell it for a higher price than they paid.
Or maybe they already have but retailed it to the compound.
If so…
But what was involved or signed when potential buyers first listened to the audio? Are they allowed and willing to say now, “I heard…it was her voice. She said …”
What may be done?

If you have Google alerts, stories were seeded overnight in the UK, Germany and other countries east of the meridian, about Adnan.
Next.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Didn’t even see that! I was referring to the Machine dropping the following three all on the same day:
1. Sexy new video! (So Brit’s a swinger now? Classy.)
2. Madonna attends Brit’s concert (Um, is she really a “surprise guest” if she sits in the VIP section? I thought she was taking the stage…?? That was kind of misleading…)
3. Britney’s got a new man! Now dating agent Jason Trawick! (You know, the one she was supposedly dating back in Costa Rica. I wonder if he gets paid extra to allow them to use his name in stories? lol)
March 12th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Have not seen all of yesterdays “news” but I have seen the new video “I.U.S.A”.
Wonder who write the synthesis to the video? Its brillant, it show up all the hippocratic who’s going on.. everywhere in the world.
And Britney Spears have eyes on it, don’t you think?
March 12th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I can see that the closer we get to April that everyone will be talking about our man. Sure wish there was something I could do from hicksville. I’m behind you Adnan. Keep your chin up. TEAM ADNAN
March 12th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
The strawberries are delivering beginning with Perez. He’s quoting the Daily Mail.
Where has Nosey been by the way? Nosey, I miss you and your British take on things.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Okay, where does Adnan’s family live? Perez is saying he could be deported to Afghanistan…but didn’t he grow up in England?
I took a break and missed out on a whole whack of stuff that happened. Seriously, WTF is going ON?!
March 12th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
cute.
—–
A source from the Los Angeles police explains, “‘The country of citizenship listed on the legal files is where someone convicted of a serious crime will be deported to whether they hold a green card or not.”
——-
This is misleading. Here’s the question, “If someone were to be deported, where would they be deported to?” Answer: They would be deported to the country of origin that is listed in the legal files.
Next. The LAPD has nothing to do with Adnan’s case anymore. The District Attorney is. The case is in the court system.
According to the ICE Public Affairs office in California (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement), a detainer is put on a non-US citizen when they go to jail.
AFTER serving their sentence, a person gets to make a case before an Immigration Judge, as to whether they get deported or not. This is called a “Removal Proceeding.” In general people are not automatically deported, but get a fair hearing about their individual case.
Anyway, if convicted, Adnan’s not leaving the U.S. any time soon.
And this too is inaccurate, “or spend seven years in a US prison if he is found guilty of three serious offences against a court official.”
There is no “OR” about it. If convicted he will serve time in the U.S. period. He doesn’t get to choose serving time v. vacationing in Afghanistan.
Isn’t he a British citizen?
March 12th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
We all know they will throw their own spin on it. We also know that the media/some paps will be out to crusify him in the rags/newspapers. I wish we were not so helpless and could really make a difference. I am keeping the faith that his attorney has a strong case and will not let him down. I know there are some things out of his hands but I’m hoping for the best.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
I wish you the best Adnan. I don’t believe the whole deportation stuff.
I’ve been extremely busy which is why I haven’t been posting too much.
Not sure how I feel about the new music video. Britney looks good with short hair.
Not sure what to believe about the rumors of her supposed new boy toy. It’s a waiting game I guess.
*a hug to you Adnan* and my support of course
Bye everyone until tomorrow or later tonight.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I’m not from the U.S., so some of these stories don’t make a whole lot of sense to me (e.g. we don’t have “District Attorney”). It’s a completely different legal system. Actually, mine is probably almost identical to that in Britain.
Anyway, it IS funny that story just showed up on Perez like that. It’s turning into a definite pattern.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Yes someone started the mudslinging and Perez decided to copy and paste and get in on the action. I’m waiting on a couple more to run with the story also. I still see in a couple where they say he tried to sell info or something. We all know that didn’t happen. He has not sold or tried to sell crap. That would have made big news for all the rags. Anything they can do to discredit him they will. Chin up Adnan. TEAM ADNAN

Jordan also says she is not dating Jason which is what I believed.

It was Jamie with a girl/women who look like K-Feds women, and she hold her arm on Jamies back, (look very familiar) and was saying something to him. He bend over to hear a guess.
He had that red/white strip “shirt”.

I got to it. G. Copy and paste it. Ama, you think that looks like Prince?
Steel. LAPD v. court. Los Angeles Police Department — they carry guns. District Attorney’s office, they wear robes.
LAPD’s role here. Someone reported a crime. LAPD looked in to the crime. They did an investigation. The investigation ended and they charged Adnan with the felonies. That’s when their role for now ended.
It went to the D.A. to the people in robes or striped suits etc.
If the D.A. court system finds Adnan guilty, then police enforcement comes back in.
Similarly, it’s not the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to decide guilt, innocence, or whether someone should be deported. They enforce the law or the decision of an immigration judge (I think that’s federal law).
Fantasy. If you are still out there, we have no legal beagle. For myself, I pick up the phone. That can drive a hater crazy because they prey upon fear, and feed it, and hysteria too, bla bla.
I’m independent and I don’t give a damn who knows it.

No shit, Sherlock! LOL
Ah, that was funny. But in a good way.
I’m guessing that the word “District” in your country equals the word “Crown” in my country. We’re still all about the Monarch. Regina. The Queen.
It’s just little terminology that’s throwing me off. But District = Crown makes sense.
March 12th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Thanks, Steel. Your earlier confusion confused me some and until today I really didn’t understand the distinction, myself, between enforcement and legal process — I mean why would I even think of it?
Meanwhile, I finally get the process. Seed it in the UK, etc. where no one from the U.S. may sue (that I know of), then let the strawberries pick it up. Voila. US Coverage! And with opinions no less. Thanks for the hate and opinions, Perez.
Nice job, Lou, but we are onto you. Steel. Do you think the work is by Lou?
March 12th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Okay, this makes things way easier in my mind…
Federal = Federal
State = Province
District = Crown
LAPD = Vancouver PD or Montreal PD (or whatever)
I should read up on this a bit, but the stories on the legal stuff should be a lot easier for me to understand now. I don’t know why I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
We’ve run into a story being “seeded” in the UK before…
Remember when Brit got a restraining order type of document against someone in the UK around the time she went to rehab (Feb. 2007-ish)?
Who was it against? Which lawyer did she use (Blair Berk?)?
Patterns, patterns, patterns…
March 12th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Steel. Thoughts on the L.A. AP office and the LA Times? I need to revisit the sources on the Feb’ish 2007 time frame but otherwise need to be present.
Brit got a restraining order against someone in the UK? Tabloid or credible news?
March 12th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I had a hard drive die and lost much of my research…But, yes, I recall Brit’s camp getting a court order against a publication/person in the UK. It was during her time at Promises. If I recall correctly, it might’ve been against whoever was about to blab to the tabloids about her time inside Promises.
I wish I could recall more. But it just made me think of the route that information takes:
US Source > UK Tabloid > US Tabloid

Heh, Brit’s Twitter DID say a “surprise audience guest.” What a strange thing…promoting the guests who are going to be in the audience?!
I think I’m becoming extremely jaded by this whole thing. I’ll never be able to look at the entertainment industry the same way again.
March 12th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
The Adnan article showed up simultaneously (I’m new to alerts but this is how they came in) in the UK (first), Germany, this place, a variety news source in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and so on.
If we know how it works, now what.
Find Taylor’s stamp on it? Debunk the system?
March 12th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Well, it’s not necessarily Lou behind things…
Remember when Brit was rumoured to be dating the choreographer from India? Wasn’t it the choreographer’s long-time girlfriend who became angry about the rumours and then blabbed to the press that it was Larry who “borrowed” the choreographer’s laptop and sent out stories from it about the alle3ged romance?
I might not have all of that straight, but the dating rumours seem to always pop up at certain times, while stories about Adnan pop up at others.
But again…patterns, patterns, patterns.
March 12th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Actually, the dating rumours and the Adnan rumours usually seem to pop up on the same day…but are probably from two different sources.
If you know what I mean…
March 12th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
ok. I was focused on one thing so missed the dual pop up(s).
March 12th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Just thinking…We seem to have three separate “sources” of tabloid gossip:
1/ Brit’s management (Who I’m guessing drops the dating rumours)
2/ Lou (The “Celebrity Chef’s” mouthpiece…who I’m guessing simultaneously drops the Adnan rumours)
3/ Jane (who works in co-ordination with Lou? Or what is her role here? Is Lou the “source” or “creator” of the misinformation, while Jane does the actual work of getting the rumour into the media?)

“Amethyst Mine Says:

Yeah, maybe..what do you think? Or do you know who it can be, and when it was taken?
Very tall longhaired blond women.

Ama. No idea. Anyone else?

Steel.
Another way to look at it.
1/ isolate Britney
2/ keep Britney in the legal system = cash for Kaplan
3/ Jane is no longer useful. She has her settlement. She keeps a low profile. She’s not as employable. She’s not under the table as she was.
Different players, different agendas.
It fits with your idea that was also my own.
Now what. Jane does not interest me. Kaplan and Papa do. Lou works for Papa (I so think I worded that wrong, don’t you?)
March 13th, 2009 at 1:07 am
Papa works for Lou?
March 13th, 2009 at 8:49 am
Well, there’s always going to be a million Jane’s. And there’s always going to be another Lou. And even Kaplan is…expendable…
Think of them all as tentacles of an octopus. When one tentacle is no longer “useful” it can just be lopped off, and another tentacle will take it’s place.
That is…the Machine.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:28 am
I kinda look at it this way…
Until Brit fulfills her contracts with Jive and Larry and AEG, she’s stuck. A contract is a contract, and Pa is just making sure she fulfills her legal obligations. To their fullest.
As for what’s happening to Adnan…
AM, you said it best. Silence enables abuse.
March 13th, 2009 at 9:41 am
In other words, if I was Adnan’s lawyer, I’d be sitting him in front of a bank of cameras and would be letting selected reporters have a go at him at a press conference. And not tabloid reporters. Actual, real journalists who have an interest in reporting facts.
March 13th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I doubt he can talk to anyone before the hearing and the trial. However, his lawyer could do some talking.
Not talking has not helped either of them, or rather talking to less than ethical journalists…
Query: If there had been a previous TRO would we have known about it?
March 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I don’t know, but I think honesty is always the best policy. Better to open and truthful than to hide something and be found out later.
Adnan might not be able to talk, but I’m sure his lawyer can…and his friends. Why let JFX get all the “scoops”? Why not open it up next time and let the news cameras know when he’s going to be in court next? Why not send out his own press release directly beforehand, with HIS version of the facts? Why not hold a scrum outside of court and let the journalists ask him questions (that his lawyer will kindly answer on his behalf?
I’ve seen it done before, and it worked…’
The little guy CAN find justice in the end. It just takes a bit of boldness…and some thinking outside the box.

Just don’t go blamin’ it on me when you try it and it completely backfires…
March 13th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Steel. I wrote “fight fire with fire” last night but decided not to post. I am glad that you did.
I guess he was not in a position to talk before but I think he has to now on April 1st and April 2nd, with his lawyer saying something ahead of time?
The cat is out of the bag. They were seeing each other or text messaging or phoning or all of the above. He’s got Lutfi talking and putting the blame on him. Adnan, tell your side.
March 13th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Heh, well…Lutfi putting the blame on him could’ve been predicted…Couldn’t it?
True, he does have a story to tell. But he’s already shown himself to be a manipulative worm!
But yes, I would think Adnan may want to look at some other similar cases, and how the lawyers in those cases used the press to their advantage to get their story out.
March 13th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Oops…The “manipulative worm” was NOT a reference to Adnan. Just to be clear.
March 13th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Attorneys for Britney Spears’ father are due to appear before a judge Friday afternoon to respond to court papers in which a Whittier lawyer compares the conservatorship overseeing the pop star’s affairs to the forced labor camps portrayed in the Russian masterpiece “The Gulag Archipelago.”

“Amethyst Mine Says:

Late answer..
I´m afraid that Pa have given Britney a female “overcoat” to be around.
She cant be a female bodyguard (the long hanging hair is a danger in that work.. no joke)
I think I saw this women together with Britney, the kids and Brett by the pool.
Also I have seen pics where Britney have the same kind of cap.

Her hands are gigantic. Prince has big hands. The nose is similar but otherwise doesn’t look like her. She could have dyed and curled her hair but to what purpose?

Only the LA Times is carrying the story so far on Eardley in the LA Court today.
