Shady Sam Strikes Again
He must be hard up for cash again, because Britney Spears’ former manager Sam Lutfi is back working on his lawsuit against the singer and her family.
According to TMZ, Lutfi has filed legal papers in his ongoing defamation lawsuit against Britney, Jamie and Lynne Spears, basicially blaming them for everything that’s wrong with his life. Shady Sam claims Mama Lynne lied about him in her book, “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.”
Lutfi says that as a result of Lynne Spears alleged “lies,” which include that he secretly placed ground up pills in Britney’s food, people are being mean to him. Poor wittle Sammy sez, “I am constantly in fear for my life…” because he’s getting “harassed and cajoled by the public.” I guess it’s never occurred to him that people don’t like him because he’s ugly and obnoxious. Or because he owes them money.
Shady Sam has also managed to drag Brit’s former BF Adnan Ghalib into his suit, like the ex-pap doesn’t have enough trouble already. Lutfi says he has a declaration from Ghalib refuting Lynne’s statement that Sam was holding Britney hostage. Maybe poor Adnan is the last person still speaking to him.
JFX has photos of Sam and Britney together, but nobody really wants to look at his ugly mug anyway. Wouldn’t you rather see Brit in a clingy top?

I don’t mean to be technical but TMZ made the claim … or did Lutfi make the claim to TMZ?
Oh TMZ. They’re always right about everything especially custody versus visitation.

No tour to South America
July 25th, 2009
Always hate to pass along bad news. Sadly The Circus will not be coming to South America. We really tried to make it happen! Sorry guys
http://www.britneysweden.se/
July 25th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Yippee we’re here! New home for a bit.
July 25th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
LOL Ama. I bet Britney would be successful in South America but to me it only prolongs c-ship. Sorry Adam.
July 25th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
You have a point, Am.
But what if the c-ship continues even when the
tour is over? That’s what I feel will happen.
I don’t mean to sound so dramatic. It isn’t my
life but I still feel for her. I know no one will
want the c-ship over more than Britney. It’s one
of those things that you can’t wish way. We’ll
see what happens in November. Do you think that
Jamie or someone will really initiate the end
of it? I doubt it.
July 25th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I doubt it too. Too many people promised too many things? Jamie needs to find a new job.
July 25th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
About the South America tour not happening.
We must all, all over the world, take a deep breath and think of the the WORSE senario about the H1N1 virus. (Influenza Nuval)
If its going around now, and then it take a “break” for a some months, 2 – 3, and then return in a dangerous form.
Thats whats really make all the regims in the whole world very worried.
This is how I think:
I think its time for Britney, and all the other in the Circus tour company, to take a rest after now. 2009. They are all young people and more able to get sick then olders.
They must be tired too, and that is not a good ground to stand on, if one want to stand strong against infections.
Think many insuriance companies etc. and others involved in sports and so on, are more careful about making decisions about arena happenings.
Of course not all can stop, but for sure, it will be some questions going on.
In Argentina last week, they think about 100.000 was infected.
Not know where Britney was going, but about Argenting I found info in the web.
Not knowing if the influenza is one of the reasons, but it could be, and it would not be a foolish decision to take care.
but about the H1N!, all can get well too, just being a “normal” epedei, and nothing more. we must all hope for that.
And that people not start eating Tamiflu when not needed, get resistant and then make the virus dangerous for us all.
(boring comment, but …)
July 25th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
So I’m finally reading what the Exhaler’s are
saying about Britney not touring S. Amer.
They mentioned what I did at the last thread that
Leber didn’t say she wouldn’t tour Asia.
Someone brought up that she can’t tour China
because it’s illegal to lip synch there. Wow.
Referencing the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony
where the real child singer was considered too
“ugly” to sing live at the world wide viewed
event and a “prettier” little girl was chosen to
lip synch on camera. First, how mean and insulting
is that to do to a child? Can you believe this?
I wish that Britney would sing live again too.
But it’s absurd to me to make it a crime to not
sing live. Like I said, I read this on Exhale.
I have to search to see if it is indeed against
the law to lipsynch in China.
July 25th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Actually, Amapola that’s a great comment!
I know that South America is now in their autumn
season, right? Lots of people are ill in that
region. Yes, Argentina has it bad as well.
I think that’s probably why S. Amer. Circus Tour
won’t happen. That could also explain why the
concerts in Australia are set for November.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Ama.
July 25th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
I was just thinking that if touring Asia was
still a possibility her website would announce
something soon. As of now October is open.
No shows scheduled yet for that month.
It’s best and safer for all to stop in November.

I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.
I guess we have to wait ’til Nov to see if the c-ship will really be over. I have my doubts, but I will try to be hopeful.
I really want a margarita!

3:12 a.m. should have been The Brand v.
If you don’t know how the movie turns out, Yuri gets free.
small. I may join you in that margarita.
Fantasy nudged me to repost the link to the stories. I am hoping to get to WEG this week and what it means if someone is able to be deposed.
Also looking for a scanner device as Vista doesn’t support my old one. I’d like to put up the image containing Jamie’s statement that, “I make all the business decisions.” I get tired of seeing fans blaming Britney for decisions such as the commercial Radar vid etc.
Got the new Kohl’s ads in my Sunday paper. The Candies pic with Brit and pink hay are surrounded by teens/tweens. Avril Lavigne is on the next page dressed in an Abbey-brand (?) hoodie.
July 26th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Forgot to post the link for anyone new coming along or for back reference should anyone want to look again at the declarations.

July 26th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Glad to see the link here.
I read it again. So Rubin/KTLA may have jumped
the gun by reporting that Britney could appear
in court. A week or so ahead of the scheduled
hearing. She will back in the States by then.
Do you think she’ll be called to appear there?
Or should I say, do you think she’ll be allowed
to appear in court?
Also, does anyone think that Britney hates going
to court? I mean, I know it sucks but if you
got to go then you go. Do you all think that now
she’d be cool with the idea of being present in
the courtroom? She’ll be fine. imo. Last May 08 at
the custody hearing she (as seen in the sketch and
the descriptions provided) looked and acted very
nervous and uncomfortable. That’s why I’m asking.
I was waiting for the BH Berlin concert thread
but the last time I checked it wasn’t up yet.
Am, I’m going back to the link above. I want to
read something else again. I also need to check
the last thread for something. See ya in a bit.
Am, I think it would look better in your article
if you spell out conservatorship instead of just
c-ship. But it was an open letter so it doesn’t
really matter. Just a suggestion.
July 26th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
I appreciate any and all suggestions! It might be my article but in my own small way I feel like I am ‘repping the firm.
I created a library so you don’t have to plow through stuff and also, so I can get some things up without waiting around for my writing muse to appear.
http://fairnewsspears.wordpress.com/reference-library/
Behold
Jamie Spears statement as to who is running things. Maybe its online availability and truth will help abate some people blaming Britney all the time.
July 26th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Fantasy. It’s just a hunch but why would anyone publish that Britney was going to be in court last Friday? I mean was it an accident or as asinine as it looks when everyone (except the author?) knows she’s in Berlin?
I mean what reaction can any fan (or hater) have but to think the news stupid. It sure can’t create a warm and fuzzy feeling for KTLA nor guarantee that anyone will ever come back for real information. Or even good tabloid information.
July 26th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Please tell me if the library works. The court transcript pages (2) are in JPEG format.
July 26th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I updated the Rubin story at the bottom under Update. “Also, a KTLA operator confirmed that Rubin was still the Entertainment Editor but his job appears as listed in the headline on KTLA’s phone directory.”
Forgot to get rid of c-ship.
I also updated the About section: “Bad things happen when mass media such as the LA Times and The Associated Press fail to report a story or report inaccurately on Britney Spears and the characters in her life. For the last time: Britney did not get a TRO against Adnan Ghalib and others this year. Her father did. Let’s move on.”
Last. I think if I keep hammering on the media that my professor will support an otherwise entertainment news blog. LOL. I am supposed to be the news editor possibly meaning that in September I should be addressing things in my department. Hard news. I can stay in scope as long as I keep shedding a spotlight on reporting — it’s my passion in this story anyhow.
I prize honesty more than just about anything.
July 26th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I had to zoom, like, 200% to be able to clearly
read the docs w/ Jamie’s testimony.
At first click it looks a little faded.
But the zoom solved everything. It’s just that
I’ve never had to zoom that closely for docs.
Other than that everything looks good.
Also, I think just to show fairness, just as much
emphasis should be geared toward Lutfi and Eardley
when it comes to whom it was who got the TRO’s.
I agree with you separating AG and Sam but like
I said for the sake of fairness it would be good
to mention at least Eardley if not Lutfi just as
prominently as AG.
July 26th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Oh dear. Every now and then WordPress offers viewers ads. Guys it’s free software. I have no control over the ads except to pay out money to stop them.
I’d rather spend dollars on research. Sorry for any ad you see.
July 26th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I see the link on Exhale. One says, “Fake much?!?”
That reject probably didn’t bother to view
the link. He/she is too busy crying over the
european tour being over. They suck!
(Excuse my 7th grade expressions,Am.)
I’m proud of your work and it just annoys the
crap out of me how they so quickly dismiss you.
Not just you but the facts that you’ve presented.
Really. It couldn’t be me. I’d say F it.
And console myself with a pint of whatever
ice cream I could find in the freezer.
But to you I say keep at it.
Did you like the Britney vs. Madonna video spoof?
I’d never seen that one. It’s funny to me.
July 26th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
I thought the spoof was hilarious, Fantasy! I enjoyed it.
It’s not me they are dismissing. It’s the proof, the evidence, the hard words of another story. I mean, what Britney hater and Britard-harasser wants something like PROOF of who rules to coop out there?
Where’s the fun going to go if they can’t blame Britney for her tour, South America, Radar, everything.
They will find a new method to harass and upset people with but that one has got to go.
About Lutfi and Eardley, I deliberately left them out. I made a choice. The about me section is not a news article. I am not required to show fairness when I am talking about me and my views.
I also don’t want to lose any steam by being associated with those two. That first article was only a beginning but some could think I was doing something for Sam. I’m not. That article told the truth but it was also for Adnan and his 15 mins accusations and crap.
Serious, Fantasy, what will the haters have left to gnaw on if they are deprived of weapon number one: media whore.
I really do want to tell the truth about Britney Spears’ story but I will be damned if I give much positive air time to Sam and Jon. I have been doing mental comparisons of Sam and Adnan for weeks. This is part of how I craft a story that may then or may not be written. In other words I toss ideas around in my head and start exploring like sounding out musical notes. Does it sound good? Is it plausible? Interesting enough? And who could I call?
It’s sweet of you to think of fairness but I will be damned if I have those two names associated with my bio.
!!
July 26th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
p.s. Fantasy I started a thread at Exhale. Berlin wasn’t the place for it, or it could have been if left alone.
July 26th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
If interested I uploaded a 77 page document to the library. It has most everything anyone needs to understand that Britney couldn’t even take a plea bargain in the driver’s license case.
I really believed the reason the case went to trial was that Britney wouldn’t take a plea bargain and have anything on her record.
Maybe the foreman of the jury was right and the whole thing, including the sham of Britney showing up at any moment, was publicity for her album. I will tell the story later but wanted to upload a document I’d been referencing for awhile. It does not include the interviews I have done.
July 26th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I’m checking out the library. Studying.
I see your point now about Jon and Sam. I get it.

July 26th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Hmm. There was a regular proceeding (I think. I posted it here awhile ago) in the SBJ account on Friday Jul. 24.
I don’t know what to think. There are no future hearings on the docket as of now.
Meanwhile, close to 300 have viewed the court documents with Jamie’s testimony.
Hey, Fantasy? If nothing else people may be reminded of her conservatortee status.
Oh I hate that statement, “At this time I am the conservators of her estate, person, and of her finances.”
In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost.
I either make a point or am offending some Catholics out there but isn’t it true?
July 26th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
yeh yeh I see the damn errors. That’s all you need to say at another site that is critical and holy when it comes to anyone making mistakes. Big deal.

I think I could make an argument that The Brand will exist past the Conservatorship. It will then be up to Britney if she wants to continue with The Brand, or if it will be time to let it die.

July 26th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
So yesterday I had my first all day training to become an adovcate for elderly people under conservatorships. I received a lot of written material including a Handbook for Conservators published by the court which explains in an easy way what a conservatorhsip is what the consevator of the person/estate does; their duties etc. So as of right now, I know more about conservatorships than the average person. We even had someone from the LA Probate court present.
I did not find out anything that would shed light on Brit’s case except something which I already knew which was the conservator or the conservatee can petition to terminate the conservatorship at ANY TIME which proves that TMZ was wrong. I think the court is alot more accurate than TMZ.
I also found out that a couple of years ago, the LA Times published some negative stories about the whole conservatorship process so as a result there is a lot more oversight and scrutiny by the court over the conservators.
The main thing that I got was that the conservatorship takes away of lot of basic rights therefore it is not granted lightly so the idea that a court would extend a conservatorship so that the conservatee can go on tour, something a lot of people believe in Brit’s case, does not ring true.

On one hand, I’m glad to hear this, because it means the justice system isn’t being as blatantly perverted as TMZ leads us to believe. (Perverted?!)
On the other hand, this tells me that Brit still isn’t fully well. But I don’t think this is a shocking idea anyways.
July 26th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
BROWNIES! Ronnie. I love some of my typos here. I went to the store, ‘k?
QB roger that on a huge investigative story by the L.A. Times that is still impacting California law and c-ships. Unfortunately, few if any of the reporters on the case are still with the LA Times and following up on their cases. I wonder what that team could have contributed to the public’s understanding of what Britney is going through and what her rights are.
QB. How can someone who has been judged (in the words of Ingham) to be unable to “meaningfully participate” in the c-ship hearings? After that, how does one ever make it back to court, if in fact, they don’t trust their court appointed attorney? (testimony of Blair Berk: Britney seeks counsel outside of court appointed attorney. She does not complain about him, per Berk, but constantly asks Berk for representation and asks questions that Berk send her back to Ingham on).
Steel. That people can’t see Britney the person v. the brand is sad. Some see her as just the center of a f-fest. Crude? Perverted?
It’s a day for margaritas, brownies, ice cream, Smuckers fudge sauce and other perversions.
July 26th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
QB
The first person who told me about what horrible things who could happend to a person if they get under a c-ship, was one a the highest juridic person in this country.
C-ship was almost the only thing who scare him, he said.
With this information in mind, I have seen proof in the papers of many ugly things who have being done under the umbrella of c-chip.
The papers write a couple of days about it, and then it fade out. Its to difficult to investigate, all involved cover each others back.
They are often “brothers and sister” in the juridical, political,medical and financial “comrade-gangs”
Of course there must be some honest persons too, but as you know, the rotten apples destroys the whole basket.
July 26th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I’m sure the judge hasn’t been making decisions without careful consideration of doctors reports. we don’t know everything.
just cause jamie or brit petition to end c-ship doesn’t mean it will be. tmz wasn’t all wrong in what they were saying. they simply worded it to their liking (or someone elses liking).

I tend to think he may have been thinking with his heart. But I guess only he can say for sure.
July 26th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Steel at 11:10. You stole my words from my blog.
It’s in the update to the open letter but I posted that on Friday (about KTLA’s upcoming report but with a nudge to what others might say).
Adnan thinking with his head or his heart. How does one friend counsel another friend? With his head or his heart? A true friend says what is.
Adnan was making it difficult to maintain control. There was another way this was worded in the court documents but it pertained specifically to Adnan.
The same was true in the Squiggey tapes. The boy in Di’s heart had sympathy for her situation. He listened to her, counseled, “Be patient my love” and some such.
An intellectual thinks for himself — sees the raw of it and have education to back him up. When communism comes the intellectuals, the educated, are the first to be beheaded. Historically that is.
I am not calling Jamie a communist just that communists seem to know where the trouble would come from: from those that might question and then resist and know what to say and have the courage and confidence to say so.
If MT is even a mere shadow of what might be Adnan’s intellect or experience or what a friend can be…
July 26th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
This is what I’m feeling now. Britney is unwell.
But how unwell is she? Just like so many others I
over a 1 1/2 years have questioned the severity
of Britney’s illness and the need for there to
still be a c-ship at this time.
There are times when Britney,from what I can tell,
outwardly seems fine. Then there are moments
when I see pics of her and I just feel like
something’s still not right.
What I’m saying is, some mental illness aren’t
ever going to go away completely.
I think I’m antsy for this c-ship to end
because it doesn’t feel right anymore. The motives
and the actions of those involved haven’t always
been proper. imo. At least from what I’ve learned.
Then there’s the financial side to things. Has
this tour refilled her bank account enough or
will another cd and tour be in the near future?
I hate repeating myself but Britney’s got to be
in excellent condition mentally and financially
before this c-ship is lifted. Who knows how much
longer that will take? As long as a judge feel
it’s necesary, I suppose.
It’s just sad and painful to watch her now.
I feel like this c-ship isn’t helping her like I
thought it would. The focus seems to be where it
need not be at the moment. Has anyone else felt
the same? Just wondering.
July 26th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
Man, I take forever to say what I want.
Please excuse the lengthy comment at 11:34pm.
Hi, MH. Good to hear from you as well as QB.
July 26th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
I’ve always said, I was on Jamie’s side 100% until the tour was announced.
And then my love for him crumbled in an instant.
I have these tickets to her concert. And I’ve had to explain to my friends not to expect too much from her – that she is still under a C-Ship, and she may not put on the performance they think they’re going to get from her.
And when I started to explain to them what a conservatorship was (because they had no clue), they just gave me blank stares and wrinkled their noses and changed the subject. They think I’m a total nut (…maybe they think I’m not quite plugged in…?)
But really…Is it ME who’s not plugged in, or is it them?!
July 27th, 2009 at 12:32 am
Brit’s relationship with Ingham is certainly a problem in the sense that this person was chosen to represent her and she does not trust him and that has got to negatively impact the attorney/client relationship. I understand that Brit wants her own lawyer but Goetz may rightfully feel that Brit does not have the judgment to pick an attorney who has her best interests at heart.
Already, you have had 3 people (Streisand, Eardley and Anderson) try to represent Brit and Goetz may feel that these are shameful opportunist who are trying to take advantage of a very rich woman who does not know what is best for her, so Goetz maybe doing her a favor.
Ultimately, Goetz is in control. All Jamie can do is ask. One thing that Goetz said last year was that Brit was suscepitble to undue influence which is one of the four reasons why one can be placed under a conservatorship.
The fear is that once free, Brit will fall under the influence of some manipulative control freak like Lutfi who will use her and mess up her life. Brit like everyone else has her weaknesses and all it takes is someone who knows what her weakness is and then exploits it his advantage. If this is Brit’s issue, her core issue, everyone should be worried about her.
July 27th, 2009 at 12:33 am
So here’s a question…
Should the same person be allowed to be a conservator over an estate AND over their person at the same time?
Or is that inherently a conflict of interest?
July 27th, 2009 at 12:36 am
I would say all of us would seems a bit strange, “different”, maybe looked at “not as she/he/we use to be”:
Maybe depressed if we get to deal with hard personal matters under to long time, and never get a change to have some peace.
Maybe getting fat! Maybe not care to dress in the latest fasion?
Are we mentally ill then? Crying. Illness? Sleepless. Mental illness? Want to be alone. Mentally ill? Afraid of the silence, loonging for our kids. Mentally ill?
Not life crisis, no, it must be mental illness?
Or is it the money we have, the money we can generate, who is the sake who make others to take over our life, call us mentally ill, instable?
I dont think Britney are mentally ill in such degree that she needed this c-chip.
She needed, and I dont say in what order:
Time, peace, her kids, friends, right level of medicine to come out of the depression, therapy, exercise, sleep, laugh, hugs, love, trustful family, being free from all who wanted so much form her.
She needed time to heal.
Have she got that?
I say, what a strong women!!!!
And the next man who came forward to tell: “we” have done this”, I feel I want to give a thick ear.
I hope she will be free now, soon, and then get her kids back. Then I hope she live this crazy world of showbuiz for some years.
(Hope not anyone have bound her up with contracts for years to come)
I do not believe Britney Spears have a mental illness who not any of us could get, if we had the unfortunate to have to live, especially, the life she had the last 4 years.
The only happiness, for her, was her kids.
And that I´m sure she thank God for them, every moment.
She will always find a way to be creative, that I´m trust.

QB, I didn’t see this before posting my last message. So I’m wondering now…
I know Lutfi is a manipulative little worm. But…
Could one say that Jamie is now stepping into this role by being the conservator of her estate AND her person?
Has he become so consumed with re-building her estate that her “person” is being exploited in the process?
July 27th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Britney was not more sick then any of us would, could, have been/get, under the circumstances she had this live this last years.
And all this personal conservators…
An occupation made up in hell, I say
It must be, because they are so often doing wrong, make wrong decisions, “happend” to make benfits for themselfs, when some stranger (or familymember) they have to look for, must sell their house, land, art, or any valuable thing.
They take out money, claiming they have work so and so many hours, and nobody check them, or have time to do that.
The “happend” to make benefits for themselves or their family or friends, when the person they “care” for, have to sell their house, home, land, art or or any valuable thing.
The story is the same for in countries.
And the story is the same, from all countries.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:07 am
As you see in my comment, the writing about what c-chip can do to a person, was write down, two times, with the same meaning..

Its morning here.
Morning paper have come.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:15 am
Ama. Your note greets me with anguish. When Kurt Cobain died I felt he did have the right friends around him: people to make you laugh, people to make you question. Somebody to say you’re just wigging(slang) out. Didn’t anyone see the movie Singles?
Britney didn’t have that strong willed and depth-character friend that I know at the time. Adnan was there but not in time and not with the trust of the person Briney was in earlier days.
I wonder like you do, Ama.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:20 am
Ama, what is a “thick ear”?
July 27th, 2009 at 1:23 am
Like many of you, I have had deep reservations about the tour so I understand the criticism that the focus on the “estate” has taken priority over the “person”. I really do not know why Goetz approved the whole thing anyway but maybe she was assured that Brit would be monitored; taken care of; not worked too hard; given ample to rest etc.
After all this was supposed to be a limited US/UK tour which has since been expanded to Europe; Austrailia and a second US leg. The conservators say “everything has been going so well on tour Goetz, please consent to expansion” and she says “Okay” because Brit appears to be doing well.
There can definitely be a conflict between the conservator over the person/estate. I think Jamie obviously wanted some control over the estate but having an outsider like Wallet named as a co-conservator who has equal authoity over all finacial decisions is a good check on Jamie and the court is a check over Jamie and Wallet.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:33 am
Ama. This is where I am come from. I am trying to find accurate lyrics for you.
Listen to the music, the words if you can and next time you think I am a bad person (or wonder how I feel about A & B and B just to herself). Remember.

Please. MT. You got a better video. I’m surprised you never posted this song before. Maybe it’s best you didn’t, but it’s right up there with you City of Angels vid.

Corretion: Please? and MT, you got a better video?
July 27th, 2009 at 2:03 am
MH? I thought “thick ear” was great!
Ama. So glad for your post at 12:56. Ah. Money. The great equalizer country to country. I though it was supposed to be education but that’s an ideal when it comes to money.
QB. Her brother retains control over the bulk of the money and then there is the uncle in Louisiana. But Jamie has carte blanche, blank check book. Sure it gets checked from time to time but only what he brings into court for accounting. I notice Wyle reduced her accounting to the state recently. It wasn’t reported in the news but that’s what a remittur is isn’t it?
To MT and only to MT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ44MDnliPw
I understand. Not all of it but alot more than some.
And Ama, please pay special attention so we have no misunderstandings in the future: MT is VERY deep. Can you can not understand the esteem of that then you will never understand why I talk about shallow and deep. Deep is precious. Deep is spectacular. Deep is something many will never aim for or accomplish.
I distance myself from shallow people. I gravitate towards deep and so I have a small pool of friends rather than large. I prefer it. I love my friends especially the ones who are especially deep: they are the ones who can keep you sane.
July 27th, 2009 at 2:08 am
Correction: (bravo, spelled correct) If you can understand the my esteem of that, then you will understand why I talk about shallow and deep.
I grew up on a lake. I understand diving and long times underwater. I understand alot of things about water, breeze and more. I am leaving for home in a couple of weeks. I always grow strong there.
July 27th, 2009 at 2:28 am
QB. Did you read the document entitled Lynne Spears does not etc.?
Don’t be all paranoid. I can’t see your address if you’re looking at documents.
Did I read correctly that there is no positive case or rather no precedent for anyone being “libel-proof” in the state of California?

July 27th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Good morning.
Quick question.
Yesterday there was a brief mention of the SJB
Trust. I’d like to know if anyone knows if Jamie,
as conservator of the person/estate, has the right
and or ability to modify/change the terms and
conditions of the SJB Trust. Does he? Has he?
Would he need a judge’s consent if he wanted to do
so “on Britney’s behalf” ? Or “best interest”.
That’s all I wanted to know. Any answers? Anyone?
Have a great day everybody.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Okay, correction.
Jamie, as co-conservator of the person/estate.
Just trying to clarify and be correct about that.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Back again. I’m trying to be brief.
What about Bryan and Ivan? Do they have authority
to change/modify things in the trust?
Okay, I’m done. Later.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I don’t have an answer for this, but I found it interesting that Jamie has control over Britney Touring Inc. (BTI). All the rest of Brit’s companies (something like 15 ) appear to fall into an umbrella group that all filter back to BTI.
So in effect, doesn’t this give Jamie full access to the rest of the companies anyways?
Just an open question to anyone.

I do have to admit, I’ve never been leery of Jamie being the conservator over her estate.
I thought there might have been some funky accounting going on prior to Lutfi coming into the picture (e.g. payments to WEG stopped around Dec. 06), but I don’t really think there’s funky accounting going on NOW.
The only thing funky about what’s going on now appears to be the amount of work that Brit’s doing to re-fill the coffers.

Following MJ’s death, I saw an interview with Randy Phillips, the president of AEG. He was addressing the issue of MJ being signed up to perform 50 concerts at the 02, and whether this arrangement might have led to MJ’s premature death.
Mr. Phillips said something like, “Michael was going to be living in a beautiful estate outside of England. He was scheduled to do 2.25 concerts per week. If he couldn’t do 50 concerts than he couldn’t have done one concert.”
It was an interesting way to justify things…I see his point that, yes, MJ appeared to be set up to live comfortably and not perform THAT often. But at the same time, it must have been daunting for MJ mentally…The IDEA of 50 concerts must have given him a lot of anguish, especially after having not performed on stage for so long.
July 27th, 2009 at 9:46 am
I would’ve like to have been a fly on the wall when Jamie and AEG were ironing out the details of Brit’s concerts.
I wonder what was promised on either side?
July 27th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Going back to the issue of Jamie and BTI…
Perhaps the conservatorship of the estate is set up so that the flow of cash can only go one way – OUT of BTI, and into the other companies. This would ensure that the other companies can break even while BTI (and the endorsement/Web companies) are the only ones that are active.
Does that make sense?
July 27th, 2009 at 10:32 am
In regards to Jamie’s as well as Wallet’s control over the trust, I just looked at my Handbook for Conservators and it does say that “if the trust documents give the conservatee powers over the trust or over property held by the trustee, such as the power to modify or to revoke the trust or the power to designate who receives trust property you may ask the court for authority to exercise the power. This request would be another example of a substituted judgment petition.”
As we all know, according to the terms of the SJB Revocable Trust, Bryan and Ivan were named successor trustees. If Jamie wanted to gain control ove the trust, he would need court approval and some proof that the current trustees actions were improper.
There are many things such as selling the conservatee’s property, putting them in a faciility or taking them out of state that require prior approval from the courts.

Here is some of the music I do like and who do something to me, maybe some of you too? MT?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwbBxxML6iM
JETHRO TULL – Locomotive Breath
(* “‘Locomotive Breath’ is another song about dying, but it’s not so serious as ‘Slipstream’. It’s an analogy of the unending train journey of life; you can’t stop, you’ve got to stagger on. But it’s not that serious. All of the songs have an element of humour, and sometimes pure silliness”.
* Ian Anderson in Disc and Music Echo, 20th March 1971)
On www dot songmeanings dot net/songs/view/14216/ you can see how many ways this lyrics are taken up by listeners, anyway, it get me started up good, feeling ready to meet the day (days)
*****
Not to take about Jethro Tull WIND-UP song, who make some people mad…
Again, that song make me so happy, and I´m a believer, yes I am, that maybe surprise you ..
***********
AM, about the video/papz “talking”, Sam staying silent, non protecting in any way..
It was one of the comments here, many months from now, who make me start lissen to how the papz was adressing people. I had not think of that before.
It do not make people answer them more, or making people acting out more. It only make the same reaction comming up. Celebs or other exposed of such behavior, being insulted, just do hiding, and how interesting is that to see?
We know that kind of pics and videos now.
Boooooooooooooooooooooring.
It sounds like only the papz having fun.
Is that the only meaning of that work?
July 27th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Can’t find anyone named Martin Chan associated with UCLA or NYC. Based on the sideboard articles… slow news day.

not be taken seriously. My apologies, guys.
Amethyst, are you doing something different with
the library? I went to the link and there’s
nothing there. Just asking.
Handcraft or art, to me, it’s beautiful.
July 27th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Ama. That was beautiful thank you and thanks for including some write-ups with it.
I think there are paps who have fun and even make it fun for celebs, but then there are those who are mean in spirit. I am sure they enjoy themselves but there is a difference and I think it is about power over another. It’s almost like they resent the celeb.
I think the TMZ videographer who was filming Adnan to and from the courthouse falls into that category. Adnan could not get away from the circumstances nor could he say anything back. Well he could but chose not to. Strong man.
What did Adnan say about TMZ? That they are who they are?
And then there are those who provoke for a reaction. They are rude rather than plain mean.
All of this you know of course, but I am laughing to know as much as to sort and categorize paps.

And I got credit.
July 27th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
So Bea Peters from BZ-News was at the hotel that
Britney and the crew were staying in while in
Berlin. Hmm. I’ll have to search to see if
there was an interview conducted and if the story
is out yet. I haven’t read too many concert
reviews from the europe tour.
They all were sounding the same so what’s the use
in me wanting to read more of the same?
Kill The Lights was okay. When I first heard the
song I thought it was a part two or even a
reply to Piece Of Me. I usually skip KTL when I
listen to the cd. But I must admit, KTL video is
a zillion times better than BTI.
B heading to NY? Wonder what she has planned.

fyi guys, I had occasion to talk to the courthouse again today and I want to validate that Aug. 5th is the arraignment. I was talking to a different source on something else so I asked her.
I had to know!
July 27th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Are public records exclusives?
The text below from BEX is misleading or flat out untrue. The hearing is about her being deposed or not. Not if she is ready to venture out on her own and handle her own affairs. Right?
——
BritneyExclusive.com has learned, that Britney’s conservatorship review in LA court will be held next month, August 3, 2009 at 1:30pm.
Then the court will decide if Britney is ready to venture out on her own, and handle her own affairs. Stay tuned, we will keep you posted!

In one of the papers in Sweden, who said they would boycott the Britney consert, they now have an article with pic about Hugh Grant being in Sweden.

On commment was:
“Please Expressen, dont do now as Aftonbladet did against Britney, pursuing the star star with a lot of creepy pics, and pervert enumerated, into the smallest details, about what she was eating or shoping.
Let Sweden go on being a refugee to all kinds of visitors, and a paradis for everybody, charterturist´s or world celebs”
Grant is in Sweden for a charity event “Paf Charity Golf.

MH. BEX will work it out.
They are exclusives. Either people don’t have them or they are not sharing so yeah, BEX is first on the block with the news.
Like Radaronline had exclusive new docs about Lutfi versus Lynne Spears…. all public information but Radar said they had documents obtained exclusively by Radar.
Who gave them those documents I wonder… likely they already had them but hadn’t said anything… but then someone comes along and points the documents out to them and voila out comes a story.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Wait until tomorrow, MH.
BEX’s statements are meanwhile fair game.
FNS is not a fan site. BEX is. There’s a difference.
The demographics alone, the who a site tries to attract, are way off. BEX serves fans. Let them go to it.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
MH. I think BEX’s post is fine. It’s what they know or believe today.
They are not strawberries nor are they media analysts or court document analysts. They represent the fans.
Please don’t be a downer. I respect your desire for truth in print but seriously. A fan site? They are telling the truth as they know it without putting a Jordan spin on it.
You know too much perhaps to be fair. They are excited to have a document confirming a court date. They are the only fan site to announce a date and it’s accompanied with proof.
And then there is me, a reporter with an investigative slant fascinated by the media and analyzing it, all the time.
Cut BEX some slack and wait and see what happens tomorrow.

FINALLY!
Found all ya’ll blograts…now there’s a fight?? A fight??? Yeehawww!! DRAMAZZZZZZ!
I read from bottom up so gimmme a sec…

Mmkay I’m back.
Dramz Summary: AM needs a life. Duh?! We know this. We also know I’m a crazy LibiLo. Face it people, these are facts!
AM – step away (slowly) form the screen. Not sure if you know or not buttttttt this is NOT your life. You don’t have to eat, breathe, and drink it. There is an outside world out there, I promise. You are NOT getting paid for this.
I am saying this as a blog friend. GO OUTSIDE. I have NO IDEA how YOU or anyone else at this point has TIME to be on this writing 1000+character posts daily… What do “You People minus Rehema” do for a living? PLEASE. share.
I got a great idea. Why don’t you just start your OWN website, run a few ad/per-click thingys and make MONEY instead of wasting alllll FREE time here…I don’t believe in freebies….all that entertainment I’ve been giving “YOU PEOPLE minus Rehema”..you think it’s been FREE????……hellllllzzzzz negative…..
just a sugges…one of those “if it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense things”
furthermore, for the love of the great c-gods, pls explain why you can’t just write one post with thoughts….
July 28th, 2009 at 12:53 am

July 28th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Here’s an interesting tidbit…
One of my friends is a musician and she says that Britney has one of THE best touring bands on the road right now.
And then I was like, “Don’t they just push the play button?”
And she was like, “No, it’s a real band. And they’re REALLY good!”
And whaddaya know…I just found a video on the BS.com site that shows a drummer playing away beside the stage. So I guess it IS a real band playing.
Who knew.
July 28th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I know you may find that story completely unbelievable. But it’s 100% true.
I really DO have friends!
July 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Sweet! I read somewhere there was a band off to the side. Maybe it’s only for some songs but it’s cool to think of.
Fantasy. You do not say cool too often. I can’t remember you saying it before.
July 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
AM-
Another piece of fine journalism. Sometimes TMZ gets it wrong. I wonder who their source was, clearly it was not the court. I do not know if TMZ is making up facts or simply misinterpreting the facts. The hearing next week is really much ado about nothing. Anyway, the hearing regarding the MJ estate is being held the same day so Brit’s case will be overshadowed.

That’s why there have been no new posts today. But I have several ready to go when we’re up again, so you won’t have to wait much longer for those faboo shots of Paris Hilton buying groceries.
July 29th, 2009 at 12:45 am

I will try to find out Thursday but I think the hearing is a nix?

Question…
Is Adnan at all bothered by the fact that we hang out and talk about him on a thread about his EX-girlfriend??
July 29th, 2009 at 11:29 am
no
July 29th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Question…
Does Adnan find it creepy at all that we sit around and talk about his life on the Internet?
July 29th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Wait, that sounds like Adnan’s life is ON the Internet…But you know what I mean.
Does he find us creepy?
July 29th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Great question @9:52 Steel. Glad to hear he’s not bothered by it.
Creepy lol
July 29th, 2009 at 11:58 am
There’s a fine line between having an interest in the story and/or being supportive, and being invasive.
I’ve just always wondered how Adnan personally felt about it all. I don’t know how much I’d like others following me around on the ‘Net to such an extent…I think I’d actually feel kind of bothered by it. JMO.
July 29th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I agree. Yet here we are.
July 29th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
So what does Adnan get out of us being here?
How does it benefit HIM?
July 29th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I guess I’m just reflecting on how all of this has played out so far…

July 29th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Well, Doc’s got a point here.
AM’s doing some interesting stuff with court documents, and it’s for school and that seems productive to me.
But then here I am, writing here…And it’s cheap entertainment for me…But does it have a cost on the other end?
July 29th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
You know how people talk about “carbon footprints” when it comes to the environment?
I guess I’m wondering if there’s such a thing as a “blog footprint.”
Make sense?
July 29th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Steel. http://www.shof.msrcsites.co.uk/gbs.jpg
Maybe that’s for Doc. I don’t know. I think it is for all of us.
By the way, it was hard the other night not to spill what I knew. I wasn’t worried about BEX. I knew they would have the story in less than 24. LOL. Media works in mysterious ways.
And Doc? Maybe you are right about the income thingy. ye’think?
Steel. I don’t think you are wasting your time. You’ve been mentally testing out projects all along. It’s in your profession. I don’t know why we are learning what we are but the scope is large from media, law, accounting, marketing, c-ships, celebrity machines, paparazzi and so on. You’ll never be pressed for an off conversation. LOL.
Tomorrow, if I get ahold of my source, I will ask about TMZ’s wording on Jamie asking the judge to release Britney — oh that’s right. That’s not what TMZ said. Jamie can only ask for a review? Not of that’s so strange it’s just the choice in wording is odd and seems “deliberate.” Anyway, I think we know the process but I would like to ask from an authority. Attribution and all that. According to and ‘esh.
July 29th, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Did this make anyone else laugh?
“TMZ has obtained the foul-mouthed 911 call made when ESPN reporter Erin Andrews spotted “suspicious people” lurking around her Georgia home last week.
In the call, before she even says her name, Andrews says “I’ve been in the news recently about being in a hotel naked.” She goes on to say, “I did nothing wrong and I’m being treated like f***ing Britney Spears and it sucks.”
http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/29/erin-andrews-911-call-im-the-naked-one/
July 29th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I apologized for the send hubby my way comment because I thought it was the proper thing to do. You don’t have to care about it.
July 29th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
I didn’t listen to the audio Steel. But I think she was referring to the paps hounding her and comparing it to the paps hounding Spears.
July 29th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Yeah, I listened to the audio…
The “paps hounding her” turned out to be two reporters in a white van with a handicapped license plate. Not the best use of 911!
July 29th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
St. Mag., I heard it. Thanks so much for that.
Erin sounds somewhat full of herself. She’s like,
“I’m all over the news for being naked in a
hotel.” She talking to the operator as if to say,
“Haven’t YOU heard. Don’t you know who I am?
I was NAKED in a hotel. Hello?”
Meanwhile, the operator is like, B**CH, Please.
That operator could care less. I love her tone.
This video-taped-naked-in-a-hotel thing is her
true claim to fame when it comes to mainstream
news. It’s unfortunate. Must suck for her.
The call made me laugh though. Loved it!
July 29th, 2009 at 8:37 pm

July 29th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Eh, basically they were just two posts about “female victims.” In case you guys didn’t know, some former posters from here like to watch these threads like a hawk, then go over our posts with a fine tooth comb so they can find any little shred of something or other to talk about at other sites.
So YES, I feel bad for her for what happened with the naked thing. But the call to 911 was pretty funny!
July 29th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
MH. I have sorted you.
Steel. GREAT interview with Halperin. Thanks. He is in the loop on some other things, but I wouldn’t expect anything of him until Britney is free. I note he used the word “vultures” again.
Fantasy. I had never heard of Erin before the tapes. Need to go listen to the audio tapes that I wouldn’t have checked out without your write up! cool.
July 29th, 2009 at 8:55 pm

July 29th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Am, I hadn’t heard of Erin either until lately.
Does anyone here cuss in front of their mom or
dad? I remember watching The Osbourne’s on MTV
and Kelly and Jack would always swear around and
sometimes to Ozzy and Sharon. How does that get
to be acceptable by a parent? And at what age?
I don’t think that Erin was swearing to her mom.
But her mom was there with her as she made the
911 call. I don’t know if her mom heard her or
not or if she cares about that kind of thing.
I’m not trying to make something out of nothing.
I found it unusual, that’s all.

July 30th, 2009 at 12:51 am
Fantasy I never cursed around my parents, nor did they curse around me. Just of plain respect. I think it’s very disrespectful to hear parents curse IN FRONT of their children. I am dating this woman now who talks to her mother like a friend. She says just about anything. I find it very disturbing. Not to be stereotypical, but I have found that Caucausian parents tend to be more accepting of this. My Mama did not play that sh$#@!
B curses in front of her mother. Gooooooo figyahhh……
July 30th, 2009 at 1:38 am
I hear you, Doc. Every family has their own way
of speaking to one another. I too think there’s
a cultural or racial element to that. But it
can depend on the person too.
My mother cursed almost daily if front of us kids.
My father never did. No 4 letter words from him.
Not even darn. There were many similarities in
how my grandparents raised them. And there were
differences. My mother just isn’t the type to
watch her mouth, so to speak, esp. in her own
home. But my father is just more reserved. He’s
not a big talker or big on swearing to anyone.
Although my mother cursed around us we never
cursed in front of or to her. Mumbling under one’s
breath is one thing. But face to face. Oh, no.
It’s something that doesn’t happen with us.
I’ve said enough for one day. Thanks, Doc for
responding to what I wrote. Bye y’all. Goodnight.
July 30th, 2009 at 2:30 am
Fantasy–I don’t cuss around my parents. I don’t even listen to music with bad language around them. Personally, I find it disrespectful. My parents do cuss around me(in Spanish) though LOL! There could be an ethnic/racial element to it, but I also think it is a generational thing. Nowadays, I find my nieces/nephews saying F!%* a lot. And listening to that music full blast. They don’t care who is listening.

It was a mostly fun Q&A. Actually it was a visit which was meaningful while meanwhile G was temporarily all alone with Adnan… thems’ the breaks. lol

Refreshing old post for QB. Adnan was a tool to Lynn, Jamie and for the FTR. Oh by the way, can you sign here and sign there. When he was no longer needed he also received the same speech and treatment that Jordan got. Turn around, go away or we’ll destroy you.
No plea. It’s not an option. They will not give him that. It’s a witch hunt remember.
By the way, they fear Adnan because he holds her heart and she holds his. that’s is dangerous in their business of conservators.
This is how this boy got himself in trouble. She kept hoping and hoping and being kept in the dark. You say Ingham speaks for Britney? Through the grapevine, she had no clue people were even going to court on her behalf. She gets the tid bits right after everything is said and done. Then the girl celebrate because someone had lied to her. Then someone had informed her the truth. Then the phones had to go. “It’s plain and simple” but everyone is busy with distarctions. Say what you like and play the complications. Simplicity is where the asnwer is at.
I’m not here to knock on anyone’s religious beliefs. I’m just not a fan of people using it as a shield pretending to be the faithful and the righteous.
And St.mag is right about the Spears camp with their plot of the conservatorship long before any of the craziness.
There are lots of things floating around out there. “ALOT”… The problem with these people is that they are shopping around trying to make money instead of shoving these things in a brown Manila folder and ship it to everyone. I mean everyone. Tabloids, mainstream media smalltown papers the internet, whatever. Lets see how everyone feels about buying the next ticket to one of her tour dates. Forget about the money and just do the right thing.
The TRO is a joke. The judge wont even hear what the defense have on the table no matter the credibility. It’s a freeging Fraternity. The TRO should be dropped if the person itself will not testify. Shoot even Bill Clinton could not get out of his own doing and he was the president, LOL!

“Brit was pretty pissed with her bodyguard when he brought the wrong coffee”
Find that on x17 today.

NO
She was NOT “pretty pissed”
As one can see on the video, she was nice and not “pissed” at all.

FYI, Beyonce is number 1. Congrats Beyonce!
I can’t remember her age or how much she made.
I was just focused on Britney. Sorry about that.

They challenged X17’s report. Meanwhile, JFX gave us their version which I believe is the most accurate?

no ? mark
July 30th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Correct me if I’m wrong but in the case of Adnan’s
TRO there was a judgment reached. He is to pay,
I think, $11,500. Am I right? Plz correct me if
I am mistaken about this. Okay?
So the fees are still mounting due to Lutfi and
Eardley wanting to battle it out and have a trial
and so on. Another thing, I did some light math.
$136,000.50 has been paid so far. Owing is
$155,780.50. I just saw the Forbes report for
how much income Britney’s earned in one year.
Thanks to the tour more than anything I would
think that this legal bill would have been paid
in full by now. It’s been 6 months. Right?
And why hire 3 different law firms. That’s just
ridiculous and beyond excess. It’s offensive.
Britney has a measly aloowance and no access to
any of her touring $$. Again, I ask why hasn’t
this been taken care of?
Forbes’s estimate for Britney from 6/08-6/09 can’t
be that far off. The money is there. Pay the bill.
Am I making this sound too simple?
What’s up with this?
July 30th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Correction.
Allowance.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Fantasy. I think it ended up being closer to $10K.
Three law firms? Three fields of expertise I imagine.
I put up MT’s April post for more than one reason.
Cross-proof I think — Lynne’s involvement, dealings with Adnan, throwing him under a bus. Adnan’s declaration.
No plea bargain for Adnan because none will be offered. Not unless …
The reality of the situation and what went down. Britney being hopeful. Complaining to people when she learned truth elsewhere about court dealings etc. that were already over.
The news hurts her.
I am sure someone will challenge me. Hope it’s not from the bottom of the stack. You ever sort your albums? Some do it alpha. I don’t.

MH, I noticed that last line, too.
Did any of you see the photos of Claus H. at one of Brit’s shows? The texts/Tweets from Dallas Austin about her going to see him in Atlanta? It sounds like she IS being given a bit more freedom, if even a portion of it is true.

QB? Where are you? Busy? Well, can you take a
quick break? Sneak away if you must.
Can you tell or have any idea as to why the
bills for the TRO’s haven’t been completely paid
for by now? There’s not an enormous amount as for
the balance. I mean, for someone like Britney.
Are Eardley and Lutfi the reason why?
Can you answer that or even guess for fun?
TTYL.
July 31st, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Fantasy. While we wait for QB may I take a guess?
All of these things have to be accounted for. Attorneys’ fees charged to the estate have to be brought to court, as I understand it.
I think it’s normal. There was an accounting proceeding Jul 24 — anyone who wanted money came forward.
If you look at the older accounting review documents all is normal as far as getting paid.
What continues to bother me is that little LA times glib about some law firm being paid in connection to Florida. Guess that is all the reporter was told.

I have not seen pictures, or twitter ot anything about this.
She cant stoop him to go on one of his shows, but I do not believe she is a friend of him.
I hope the whole story is a big fat lie, because this Claus H is a really scary man, with very scary friends.
Remember Rollings Stones telling of when Claus H try to sell Britneys diary to them…
Alarm! Alarm!
This must be a lie.
And I cant understand who made it up?
For sure it must be someone with an angenda of wanting to hurt Britneys furure.
July 31st, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Hello Everyone,
I am still here. I visit the site all the time but I sometimes do not post but read what everyone is saying.
As for the attorney’s fees for the TRO, my guess is that Brit’s lawyers were waiting to see how much money they would get from Eardley/Lutfi and Adnan before asking Brit to pay for it. I would assume that they would charge Brit the fees that were not allocated toward the defendants.
I can’t believe Kevin has a reality show on VH1.VH1 used to be such a great network and now all they have is one trashy show after another. I will make a prediction: Kevin’s show will garner low ratings and there will be NO second season. Kevin’s life is not one many people are interested in. This guy is such a loser.
I have really been learning alot at the law office. This week I did an Order to Show Cause to Modify Child Custody and typed a supporting declaration. I was thinking to myself, this is exactly what Kaplan did when he moved to get Keviin full custody. Being an attorney is so interesting.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:20 pm
QB, hi. Thanks for answering my question.
It must be nice to do what you do. Have fun
with it and pass along more of what you experience
with us blograts. Love that word. It’s Doc’s.
I can’t believe Kevin has a reality show either.
What will the focus of the show be? Watching him
get wasted in Vegas? Bowling with Vicky? Trying
to rap again? P-Leeze. His two older kids both
celebrated their B-days this month. Most kids
have parties. Was he there for Kaleb’s B-day last
week? Did he leave Europe in time to be there
with him? Or how about Kori today? I don’t have
the answers to these questions. For now I’ll
follow St.Mag. and be nice cuz it’s Friday.
I’m done bitching about Kevin. Those are his kids
not mine. Last thing. I just wonder if Kaplan
is cool with this reality tv gig. Did Kevin seek
any advice from him about how it could affect his
cleaned up Father of the Year image that he has?
From the looks of the Perez pics there wasn’t a
discussion between the two. Kev and MVK both got
what they want. We know what that i$.
Now I’m really done bitching about Kevin. Next!
Am, I’m glad your story made it to BH. k +
I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Fantasy-
You and I were on the same page. I was thinking that while Kevin was traipsing through Europe he would miss the birthdays of his children. It is hard to tell what kind of relationship he has with them because the media does not ask and he only sees them ocasionally. I feel so sorry for them because he could see them more because he has no job but chooses not to.
As far the reality show goes, I’m thinking that because of Brit’s past and the fact that she is still under a conservatorship, Kevin would have to do something really bad to lose custody.
Also, if he is partying it up when the kids are with their mother, it does not look so bad. I really wish the media would just ignore him like the loser he is.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:09 am

About the pic of Claus H.
Claus H did buy on of the more expensive places to see the tour in Denmark?
Then he get a vip “card” as others who have payed the same for the same places, get?
Or someone working with the handling out the vip cards in denmark, have done a HUGE misstake. (Or being payed to do?)
Have people aready forget the video, where a screaming and very angry Claus H wanted to fight with people because they say something wrong to Sam Lutfi?
” Dont do that! He is my friend!”
(That I think was before he try to sell “Britneys secrets diaries” to the Rollings Stones.)
Poor Claus is trying to look as an Hollywood agent.
He have lived in US since he was 15.
Now he have return to Danmark (dk). Loosing his boyfriend Soren, and some weight.
Still talking out in the gossip papers.
(find pic on gooogle, use “Claus Hjelmbak dk 2009 and then Pics”.
Have still (?) some friends in Hollywood. Latoya 51, was reportedly dining with him in the end of 2008, in Denmark.
He are still name dropping. Britney, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and so on.
Do anyone think Britney in any way should traid her longtime agent to Claus H?
Strait man models are deepkissing him, some power he maybe had that time 2008?
http://images.starlounge.com/wysiwyg/msndk/Image/Oliver.jpg
Have anybody Claus as an agent? I dont know.
Maybe “the child” JM, knows?
August 1st, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Merhaba, Adnan. Hosh geldiniz. Nasilsin?
Tell them, “Hepsi bir hah ta iy di, hakim bey.” ? jk Hope you are doing well.
sorry for some of the phonetic spelling
August 1st, 2009 at 4:28 pm
AM, I think Adnan know english..dont you?
August 1st, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Do you start learning turkish AM? Or what have happend?

http://vip.tv2.dk/article.php/id-11547926.html
August 1st, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Ama or Am? Translation, please? In english for me.
August 1st, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Good interview of LaToya. Thanks, Amapola.
I didn’t know that she is still active in music
and so on. I like how nicely she spoke of MJ and
the rest of the family. She seems really sweet.
August 1st, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Fantasy.
About the translation, I do think AM is the one to ask, its her comment.
*********
About LaToya and MJ.
Nice to know that she know he was feeling so very very good at may 2008.
I mean, there must been a rapid downfall after that?
Do we believe that? Everyting so very very good may 2008. Have you listen to the whole video?
“We not going out you know, we stay at home you know, looking at films averytimes and having hilaroius fun…so fun, so fun.. so fun so fun …so fun)
She was obvious also out to get business connections.
Claus H have not the same name on his “company” any longer, his former business associates was accused for prostitution businesses.
And fur is not a huge “thing” to market any longer.
August 1st, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Ama. I watched a film set in Aghanistan recently. I was surprised to recognize many words as Turkish.
If you speak Turkish too I wonder at the correct spelling for the following.
Can den nay iyi bok, Adnan. not even close I bet except for iyi.
This is spot on however. I think.
Ayip Jamie! Ayip.
I’ll translate offline. My first message is personal and I don’t think everyone would see the humor in it. I think Adnan would though. That first phrase I taught to myself because I thought it was so funny.
The second is also personal. It’s a directive like take care of yourself but it is richer language. You would say it to someone you cared about and you would never say it every day that I know.
Ayip means shame. You pronounce it as Ah-yeep. The i in Turkish language is pronounced as a long e. It is a beautiful rhythmic language. Melodic.
belki belki dayil means maybe, maybe not.
Yes Ama. I do speak some Turkish and well enough for others to speak Turkish back to me in Turkey then I had to stop them.
Teshikur. (bad sp but is a short thank you) It was fun to watch the movie. Offerim!
August 1st, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Thanks Ama for 5:15. It’s not for everyone but I am glad it was understandable enough, despite my bad spelling.
I don’t know why I taught that phrase to myself other than it was funny (LOL and possibly useful!) and it always makes Turkish people laugh.
That was my gesture. To make Adnan laugh and let him know a little more of some of his supporters here.
I don’t know if he speaks Turkish but if he does and he saw it then
I am happy today. Someone else knows the language. ; yea!
August 1st, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Correction: I am glad it was understandable enough for you, Ama-cin. (hope that is okay. I have only heard it as affection addressed to me and some others)
I tried to correct my spelling earlier using a Turkish to English translator but the results were not close to my meaning or tone.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:04 pm
One shall not forget the benefit of once having a turkish boyfriend AM
Or?
August 1st, 2009 at 7:30 pm
If you have an ear for music you soon learn to understand most of any languish.
A couple a weeks ago I was in an taxi, the driver get a phonecall on his mobil.
When he stop talking, I ask him of what country he come from, becuase I recognized his languish, but it was some difference in the pronounce..
He said: I speak Arabic.
Yes, I said, buyt it was something special with it.
I told him: I could undertand most of what you have talk about.
It was one of his kids who phone. The kids have a time at a dentist, and the taxidriver told the kid, that he was unable to follow, but the kids mother could.
“How could you understand that?” his ask me suprised.
I told him, some words are universial, some words a you telling in some kind of swedish, because your kid probebly used it. But the pronounce of some letter in you words, I did not reconized.
He could not understand what I mean.
“In sweden we have many differnt dialects, I said, so you also must have in your language.
I pronounced those sounds of the letters for him, and he start smiling.
“I come form a certain part of xxxxccccxxxx and we have this kind of sound there.”
So if you have an ear for music, you can very easy understand other people.
But one must have a open mind for wanting to understand, and learn.
To write in other language, that’s an other matter
One have to trust people kidness and interest to understand, or if not, that they ask what the hxxx one talk about
August 1st, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Never, Ama-kuz, never.
Thanks for remembering. sherefe!
August 1st, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Ama. I appreciated your story. I understand music very well.
What do you think of my happy little phrase to Adnan? I sent it and a rhyme (sound like Pepsi, Ronnie etc.) to R. I hope he may use it. It would be hilarious for R to say anything in Turkish if Adnan understands it.
If not I think he would be pleased with the thought or the trying. R speaking Turkish? And what the phrase means?
Ama. telefono anyone? Easily recognized. Choke merci?
But I was surprised how many words I recognized during the movie. I am not fluent enough to know if the whole script was in Turkish. It didn’t sound like it, but I am not fluent.
I did feel like you earlier today trying to find the words in my head and then the spelling and then I felt bad because I knew some of the words were wrong in spelling.
It took me forever to come up with Can-de nay iyi bok. It is what I wanted to say. I haven’t used those words in a long while.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:28 pm
AM
I do not know if Adnan understand any Turkish, or any of the many dialects.
Maybe he have had some friends who have talk Turkish and learn some words? As he for sure know some Brazilian variant of Portuguese…
(Brazilian variant of Portuguese is more similar with Spanish, especialy with Latin Spanish)
You are an American and can understand some Turkish.
I´m and Swedish and can understand some other language then Swedish.
The world “shrinks”, people get closer.
Why should we not learn?
Long times since one people could say: ” I get enough by understand my people and my languise”
Parents who can, send their kids to schools to learn as many languise as possible.
Other kids learns as much they can, from their friends. Kids so smart!
When I look at the young people now, growing up in my country, a mix of a lot of different nationalities, I say, OMG, what a beautiful people and how proud I am when they stand up for each other.
For them its natural. “Dont tuch my friend!”
(Of course we have squareheads here too, lost people without self esteem, trying to blame all problems on others, who are not blond or have blue eyes.
Trying to bring up this old ugly face of racism again. They still believe Jesus was blond and had blue eyes..
What to do when people are so ignorant? It´s scary.)
August 1st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
correction:
Don´t touch my friend!
August 1st, 2009 at 8:44 pm
I loved that post, Ama. I too am proud sometimes in Arizona and then there are those squareheads as you put it.
Things have changed here in Arizona. The prejudice I first saw in California was not as evident here. Maybe I was blind or had less exposure.
Now I see it, not in the Caucasians’ eyes but in the Hispanics: distrust and then something else around Halloween (have and have nots — Halloween was never about that before that I knew — the kids are happy but the parents’ eyes tell a different story, especially in the eyes of the men).
Racism is ages old. I worry more in context to this board what Mark said about the paparazzi. They have no defense in California. The paps have no defense.
In the movie set in Aghanistan the other night, crimes were rationalized by the victim being “only a servant.” What did that mean? Well rank of course but then what they assailants could count on in terms of the kid saying anything or even being believed if he said anything else.
So there is rank, color, profession. Ages old is it not? On this we may agree and also smiling when it is not. “Don’t touch my friend.” I love it.
August 2nd, 2009 at 3:42 am
AM golly gee gosh darn please don’t start with the culture/racism/colorism talk. Really urks the crap outta me. Polar Bear quit bringing it up already. It’s old. Yes, brown people (of all kinds)/ people of color are discriminated against. I agree with you – I’m sure most of this would not happen Adnan/Sam if in the event they were white (re: charges, accountablity, etc)
AM -Ain’t no damn way you can see anything thru a Hispanics eyes. AZ is one of the most segregated and racist states. You can not speculate on what things have changed in terms of better/worse in regards to racism until you are a minority.
I, too, am a hypocrite. I can’t stand to read most of the things Ama writes because I don’t feel like turning on that side of my brain to translate. So I literally read bits n pieces.
I discriminate!!!

Case went down last Thursday, Jul 29. KTLA is the only one to have released the information.

Too bad so few agree with me.

It is mysterious that both sides are quiet.

AM was right. The Brit hearing regarding the conservatorship was cancelled ironically because of Michael Jackson. Many of Jamie’s attorneys such as Jerryl Cohen also represent the executors of MJ’s will so Brit’s hearing was postponed.
I guess MJ takes priority over Brit which is not surprising since there was a number of pressing issues in the MJ case and Brit’s hearing was in no way urgent.
Keeping score: AM 1 – TMZ 0
August 3rd, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Love it. Thank you, QB. And what did you think of this lie?
“And this must be what they mean about stars colliding: A hearing on the conservatorship of Britney Spears, originally scheduled to take place this afternoon, was been canceled as several of the attorneys who rep Jamie Spears are also involved in Jackson matters. The Spears hearing was planned for 1:30 p.m.”
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b137305_michaels_kids_go_katherine_jackson_amid.html
QB. It is a lie. Today’s review had nothing to do with custody. Cohen is not involved that I know. Wallet is. Holland and Knight are or rather were since the Wright case has been dismissed and attorneys paid.
It’s outrageous. I bet too that E! or anyone else wouldn’t have said anything if it wasn’t for recent coverage on the story. Don’t know if I said so but the story made it to Portugal.
grassroots
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:20 pm
AM-
When I reviewed some of the court documents in MJ’s case, I did notice that Jerryl Cohen does represent one of MJ’s executor. Now I do know that 8/3 hearing had everything to do with the Protective Order and Brit has a law firm separate and apart from Jamie’s attorneys who were assigned to handle that matter but I doubt if the people at E! really analyzed the issue of what set of attorneys handle what.
Brit has a number of attorneys who represent various aspects of her life but I am assuming that because Cohen represents Jamie and the MJ Executor, E! connected the two cases even though Cohen would not have in all likelihood attended the hearing regarding the Protective Order for all the issues you raised.
Lastly, I can’t believe Kevin’s attorney Kaplan attempted to insinuate himself into MJ’s case. Katherine and Debbie made a deal regarding the kids. MJ wanted the kids with his mom, both sides agreed. Then, Kaplan gets up and says that MJ’s determatoligist Klien wants some decisionmaking authority even though he is not the father and at most the sperm donor and sperm donors have no rights but he does not even have the guts to state that he is the sperm donor but just a “concerned friend”. I mean come on.
Any idiot can donate sperm but Michael was those kids one and only FATHER. I have lost a lot of respect for Kaplan. The judge said he had NO STANDING to object. Good Decision.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:30 pm
QB. Where did you see news of Kaplan and MJ, please?
QB. I am just glancing quick at your post but as I wrote, there was nothing to talk about.
The Wright case, protective order, anything to do with it, Cohen, or any of the attorneys, is over.
There was no conflict of timing. Flat out, the judge and the public affairs officer had just discussed the case last week and there was nothing to discuss today.
Meanwhile, for those who love BritneyExclusive there is a new address.
http://britneyexclusive.blogspot.com/
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
QB. The case was completely closed on Jul. 9. Dismissed in Orange County, FLA. There was never a conflict for any attorney involved in this review that was canceled.
Cross-proof. Start here:
http://www.ninthcircuit.org/research/case_query.shtml
Search by case number. Enter 2007 CA 014233 O
The letter O goes in the last column. So actually the case settled well before the LA Times reported in 7/24 that the case had settled.
My bad as to not catching that earlier this month.
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:52 pm
AM-
It might have been E! or TMZ. I saw the report on Klein first on TV and then again on TMZ. Basically, the judge was about to sign off on the agreement and Kaplan speaks up and objects on behalf of Klein and the judge is like “Who are you?” and Klien is like “I am a concerned friend” and the judge is like Debbie and MJ are the legal parents; you have no standing; go sit down. Moving on.
Going back to Brit, I think that everyone in the media would LOVE for Brit to get her freedom back and this cancelled hearing was another false alarm. We will see what happens when the tour ends.
I have often wondered how the process will work. Based on what I have read, all of Brit’s finances and property at least in CA is now listed under “Conservatorship of Brit J. Spears” because the conservators have to give everyone notice that they are in charge so essentially, everyone would have to be notified in writing that Brit is back in control.
I wonder what the first few days and weeks will be like; knowing that she can do anything and go anywhere without permission. How will she handle everything? It is almost like a prisoner getting out a jail. You are going from a situation where you have no control over your life to total control. Some prisoners can’t handle it which is why they end up back in jail. Will Brit be able to handle the pressure? We will see.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:13 pm
You bring up a good point and one that I have been thinking of.
Some people are under the impression that Britney can waltz into court or prove to the court anytime of her capability.
Not so. Not with children. Britney needs a lawyer. What happens if the c-ship suddenly ends? Kaplan needs to know about it, planning must be done, Wasser could be called in.
And then there is the estate. I have no idea what Britney’s standing is with her brother.
And then those AEG people and everyone who has been promised.
Calls to be made I guess if anyone were willing.
What a strange grassroots triumph meanwhile that a case no one knew about suddenly was explained away by E!. Think about it. I shared a court document itemizing date, time, place of a review in the c-ship. BH and some others picked it up.
E! wrote about it and fictionalized why the review was canceled today? Wild.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:22 pm
AM-
You are so right once again. Brit is at the head of a very large and complex empire. In terms of the conservatorship over the estate, it may take a couple days or weeks to put everything back in Brit’s name.
Brit has so many different businesses and companies right now that she does not oversee those but eventually she will have to start running that again. I’m sure is going to want a full accounting. She might want to change management.
The custody agreement could be affected as well. Kevin may want to modify it in the absence of the conservatorship so I believe the process of dismantling the conservatorship will take some time and maybe weeks of prep before she is released.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
True QB. However, her dad has other people to run those companies for now. We’ve see their expenses in the accounting docs and read about the accountants, etc.
If her dad can handle it so can she, just as she did on her own for years.
It’s custody that’s more worrisome. Oh what am I saying, custody? Custodial rights. That’s what she was asking in the voice mail tape for assurance that her custodial rights would remain the same and that her dad was threatening her.
I find it peculiar that E! covered a story that “wasn’t there” prior to last week. How did it come to their attention? Why throw it into an article on Michael Jackson?
Strawberries.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Excellent question, QB. What will the first days
and weeks post c-ship be like for Britney? Well,
if she ventures outside of the gates where her
home is located it’ll be madness. Total insanity.
I mean no disrespect to the paps out there but
they won’t let her out of their sight. It’ll be
back to what it was before. Only worse. Because
she has mostly been kept out of the public eye
except for shopping, getting coffee, or driving
around with a security guard when she’s on a
break from touring. It’ll be a mess. I can see
it already. Can’t you? Don’t we all see it?
But it will be how Britney responds to having all
of that attention and scrutiny from the paps and
the rag mags, even loyal rag mag readers like me
on her all over again. How will she cope? I don’t
know how. Did you see the video of her from last
night? She was at a jazz club for less than 2
hours and the paps (hate to say it) could not
contain themselves. Britney was clutching the
hand of one of the security guys who were leading
her in and out of the club. She clung to that guy
like one stranded in the ocean would cling to a
life preserver. It was sad to watch. Really sad.
I know I’m a complete hypocrite. I buy and read
those mags whose photos come from photogs whose
job it to be assigned to certain celebs, snap pic
and sell it. I am part of the problem. The sites
that dedicate themselves to Britney and post
stories, gossip, rumors, and pics of her daily
and have forums to talk about Britney her hair
and clothes are part of the problem too.
Then there’s her family. Her career. Herself.
It’s a lot that she has to bare. I think she is
strong enough to cope and find a way to live
despite the interest people have in her. But she
will have to adjust majorly. Too bad there isn’t
any kind of post c-ship transitional living
program for her or others like her. She’ll have
to figure out how to readapt on her own which,imo,
would not be a good idea. Or find herself a darn
good psychologist who can assist her with being
in an active member of society again. I don’t
think it’ll be so easy at first. But she’ll get
used to real life again.
I want her to be happy and regain confidence in
herself as well as regain her personal and
financial freedom. I love her. But I wouldn’t
want to have her life. C-ship or not.
Princess Diana once said something about what her
life as a Princess is like. She described it as
everyday being a wedding day, and you’re always
the bride. All eyes are on you. I can’t even
imagine living that way. There are perks to being
Britney but there’s that other side that’s so
darn unpleasant. Stifling. Just plain tough.
I’ll post now. You all are probably talking about
something totally different. I should’ve warned
y’all this this would be a long post. I forgot.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:57 pm
I was right. Different conversation going on.
Excuse my spelling and punctuation errors.
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Fantasy. Query. What makes you think the paps will be any different when she is without her dad?
Surely she has learned a few things over the past year like how she contributes to pap frenzy.
I don’t think she could help the jazz club though.
It was perceived as “an event” and made into a story about being out again. I think that’s b.s. I think she was working like always. She didn’t seem happy at all coming or going.
Is BH right that she got her hair done at 1 a.m.? Then what. She went clubbing for how long? Last night was maybe some kind of a go-see. She’s been unhappy for three days now, in the public. More than unhappy. Pissed is more like it, zero tolerance for antics of others.
Without the c-ship she could still have body guards etc., but maybe she would be more out in the public or maybe she would not. Does she need to be within minutes of LA?
MT. What say about Cuba? lol. not funny at all. But there are enclaves in which she might go and live. Why were there so many paps there last night? No one told us of any event. Were they camped out hoping for any star?
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
LOL. Wonder if her dad sent her for another old man’s date? not LOL. Reality if her interview with Rolling Stone is to be believed.

QB. Thanks for the heads up on that.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Fantsay-
I loved your long post. It was very thoughtful and articulated the problems or issues that Brit will face. All anyone can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. The end of the conservatorship will be front page news and everyone will be watching her and if she makes one mistake-there will be an avalanche of criticism.
People have been talking about how Brit appears to be gaining more freedom i.e., driving more and going out but the limited freedom she is experiencing now is nothing like being a fully independent adult who does not have to answer to anybody. I think the transition will be difficult in the sense that she went from being totally independent to being a conservered adult to an independent adult again.
Her dad can’t control who sees or talks to. She will have to make good decisions as to who she can trust and befriend. I know she has been betrayed so many times before; she may not even trust her own judgemnt. I fear for her only because there are people out there who make a lot of money off of Brit when she is not doing well-it sells more papers.
I honestly feel like if she has a good,solid group around her she will be okay. I see someone like Gwen Stefani being a good influence kind of like an older sister-their children have had playdates together but I do not know how close they are.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:03 am
Fantasy. QB. Am enjoying the flow of your conversation.
That said, just wonder if anyone else will opine anything on E!’s odd mention of the canceled c-ship review.
One thought. Once a strawberry always a strawberry now playing two sides of the field? Fantasy. You mentioned I think JM having a new freelance job with E!?
Or E was seeded after the story ran on BH. Damage control.
Steel. You have an eye for the media… any thoughts? I am not one to direct the social flow of topics here but ignoring this new development seems odd, overall, on this board.
I wonder if the E! story will go international. Funny to think that some paragraph that was based on a story I wrote, (true the twisted it as did JM), should reach go far so fast.
International? LOL. But why not. A smaller story made it to Portugal. But E! is far more reaching than just a site in Portugal picking up a story.
I am a little baffled about what happened today and why. Back to the laboratory.
August 4th, 2009 at 12:28 am
AM-
A part of me thinks that the E! story will not be big news because only a few outlets even went with the story about the 8/3 hearing. It seems to me that if TMZ made a big deal about the non-hearing the story would be bigger; for some reason TMZ is considered more credible even though they have a tendency to get the story wrong too a lot.
I really feel like nobody knows-not TMZ and not E! when the conservatorship will end-people are speculating about that happening after the tour but everyone should be skepetical. TMZ really jumped the gun and made it seem like the conservatorship was coming to an immediate end. As of right now, there are no dates on the calendar for this case. AM, correct me if I am wrong because you really know this case well.
August 4th, 2009 at 3:43 am

August 4th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I haven’t seen that photo anywhere else, but I had to chuckle…
I don’t think that photo was taken in the hair salon – it was taken inside the Jazz Club. (Oops…Looks like JM changed the caption overnight.)
It’s almost as if Brit e-mailed JM the photo herself. “Look, Pa! I’m inside a club! With Lindsay Lohan! What are you gonna do about it?!”
August 4th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I just noticed a stamp on the pic.
So much for details…missed it the first time.
emailed it herself LOL
August 4th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Really. Why would she do that, MH?
I only recognized 2 regulars that were with her
that night: Edan and the striped shirt guy.
Who do you guys think took the photo?
I don’t understand it. I don’t see the point.
Is there a point? Rebellion? Just good fun?
August 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Thanks, QB. LOL. I only know how much or little I know when I try to explain to an outsider what’s going on. It’s embarrassing at times.
Anyway, Kaplan has had nothing to do with the probate (c-ship) case, now or ever according to public affairs.
I got the a.. you stupid or something?
LOL. p.s. I was thinking the Michael Jackson story would become international and that it just happened to have that extra “info.”
I think Britney’s smile looks forced in her pic with Lindsay.
August 4th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Fan, there were lots of pics taken that night at the club of the many people inside enjoying themselves. i only saw 2 of brit and linds, both similar. looks like it was a fun night in there. why would she take a pic with her….your guess is as good as mine. hope she had a good time.
August 4th, 2009 at 3:08 pm

August 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Thanks, Steel. Vania is priceless. I wish you could have hear her say, “That is NOT true” or “he has NOTHING to do with probate.”
If it is refreshing to read it is refreshing to hear first hand and through each personality.
I think my favorite was a police officer I mentioned long ago — his quotes about being misquoted by the press (including tabloids) all the time may still show up, but not this one.
“Look. I will tell you because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.”
‘Thank you. That’s what I told you. I DON’T know. That’s why I’m talking to you.’
That was months ago.
mw, sweet. http://www.britneyexclusive.com/ They got their domain name back too. They posted the story. No spin. Always a fun site to visit.

Have anyone broke any ankle that day?
(I talk about what “they” accuse Adnan on)
If so, why its so secret about it? Words, not any medical papers, or x-rays to proof anything?
And why this person not wanted to go to a hospital to fix it?
Everything about this “case” seems, so very strange.
(I hope you AM
or someone else can understand what I write, even if Doc not do 
.
What happend with the thread about Britney having sunglasses …? Is that someone who spam that thread? And why that thread?
Also, what you say AM about how Lynne, and her “footwork” video?
Not important? You who always are hot on seeing patterns, what do you way about the mother/daughter typical behavior?
I see it like this; “they” (who knows who runs what) are very eager to take Britney down, and choice to not see something like that as normal as when Lynne does it.
“They” choice to point this innocent behavior as something “wrong” = “Look on her feet!”.
Then repeat it often. The outcome will be that it will stay in people mind as something suspicious , maybe a sic behavior.
The same they now does against Adnan. Point him out as guilty, not knowing anyhing about the “case”.
Not telling anything who show how Lynne Spears (the Spears family?) used him and did requested him to do things for them. The E! interwiuwes.
And when they used him, they turn and now try to destroy his life.
Because it was Jamie Spears “believes” who place this Ramh people on Adnan.
Sorry, long comment.

Why do the web, papers and so on go on saying that? Do they know anything that we others dont know?
Or do they all work on making Adnan look guilty?

ram did see a doctor. there is a copy of a paper about it on the web, maybe at radar. i think it was discharge instructions. i don’t think he went to a hospital…i think it was a doctors office, i don’t really remember. he hurt his wrist not his ankle…if i remember correctly. i have the papers, but don’t have time to look through them right now. check radar.

Is this site safe?
I do hope so
August 5th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Ama. Don’t look for the papers at Radar. MH gives them too much credit. It was she who found them in Los Angeles.
Two documents. One from the fire department titled Emergency Medical Service Report. I can’t read any of it. Blurred. It could be a standard report one writes.
The next is a print out from a hospital. It IS a standard issue, insert name, doctor and that’s it. You have a fractured wrist. It is important to immobilize, and other tips for care: Ram would need more than that in Adnan’s court case. You could have a buddy put a name in and print it out. There is a doctor named however…still inconclusive. Not much proof without talking to him or having a real medical record.
Moskowitz waited until hours after the alleged incident to seek any medical care. That is according to his declaration on behalf of the TROs. The same document that declares that Adnan had already been served adequately (their word) on Feb. 2nd by Chameleon. However, Ram’s boss told him to go serve Adnan again to avoid any court dispute, according to Ram’s declaration.
MH. If you care to talk. Don’t you find bullets one and two on p 2 odd?
Why would Ram be the one to sign a proof of service when it was Alexander, he says, who served Adnan? Date of service was previous to Feb. 11 on Feb. 2.
So Ram and his buddy hunt down Adnan the first time and serve him. Then a “second” time they go to do it again just in case there is a court dispute. Ex-wife Berry tells police that they were aware of being watched over several days.
The “third” time someone “tries” to serve Adnan they tape the documents (that were already served Feb. 2) to Berry’s door and “that” is considered service?
With MH’s permission I will put it on the site and you can see for your self.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Correction and clarification: it is the declaration of Ram. It contains the two documents I mentioned. It also contains his account of events, but it also contains statements that Adnan had already been served.
I am not lawyer but I kind of see that as stalking and harassment. Why tape documents to a door as a final act? Why serve him twice much less use one of the pair who had tracked him before?
Forget about the wrist. What were they really doing there?
I am sure that doc “sang well” in round two but in this round? I hope Mr. Korn picks it apart. I also hope he learns more from expert witnesses about Chameleon and their “thugs.” The witnesses are out there.

You want to catch the fox, you have to gather the hounds. Old rivals old history. They know how one another smells. Only the best money can buy and right on the specifics.
Just like last time, the Israeli laywer for RM had TMZ as her guess and claimed that it’s a public hearing. Adnan’s Lawyer had called for a quicky in the chambers and TMZ had to go. Not surprised the least that she have them their once again. Someone is getting paid or using the media for the very purpose they been using them. TMZ had labeled Adnan ‘Deuche Bag’ from the begining. Painting a character to be hated and having their audience to leave obscene and sometimes even posting for his head to roll for entertainment purposes. Now they are the crdedible source for news for this hearing? It’s wonderful how the ‘fraternity’ works. Strawberries at it’s best.

MH… about those documents. They help AG. Agree? TMZ is the source of news on Adnan…Radar almost went bankrupt this year. They are a mat.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:31 am
Correction: Radar is a mat.
One thing I have noticed is disbursement of information.
City News Service is that little extra accomplishment/distraction as to mass media yet no one seems to know them.
August 6th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
MH. I missed 2:42 last night. ‘k.
One thing I missed in a related Twain post was the timing of the second serving. I read what he wrote but didn’t know enough about TROs to appreciate that the intended “purpose” of the second serving was do it before before Adnan turned in his gun.
TMZ said there was a document filed Apr. 1 showing Adnan had turned it in in Feb. It was filed by Jamie Spears’ team based on case summary.

May 5th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
There are rumors and I’m not really sure on how to put this. Something to do with serving him last minute so Adnan would not be able to get himself ready.
kind of like the Bill Obama had sent to congress and it was 1100 pages and everyone only had half an hour to review before the deadline was met and pass.
Okay so the plan was to serve Adnan at a specific time so Adnan will not have enough time to file for his firearm and it’s a felony federal crime and he will do time automatic. Nice touch by the Jamie and Co and the private investigators. This is regarding the TRO. But Adnan smelling the plot against him have already made plans to sell or turn in his firearms way ahead. Smart kid if this was true. Would this have caused the team to be 110 more aggressive? I would place this under the he said she said basket. Stuff that’s just floating around.
August 6th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Do I agree? Well AM, I have a lot of thoughts on things. Honestly though, I avoid saying much of anything because it doesn’t always go over well and avoiding that is far more peaceful. It’s just better sometimes to just keep my mouth shut and watch from the middle of the street. If I were in your shoes I would be doing things a lot differently. But that’s what makes a world…we are all different.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I guess that is the thing about shoe size. One size doesn’t fit all.
I appreciate your point.
I was just thinking it’s a little damning to their side given what appears to be lurking in AG’s neighborhood when he had already been served.
It’s also irritating that the prevailing belief in the blogosphere is that AG was evading service.
If I had been served I would have wondered who and why there were people lurking in my neighborhood and then one day out of the blue they approach me? I mean, without a lot of experience being served or having trouble with the law, I might have thought well they can’t be process servers when I’ve already been served.
That kind of story line is more of what I was thinking – in other words the side of the story that only MT has told that I know. He so rarely does anything without intention unless he is enjoying himself like bantering with Doc.
I guess that should be in mostly past tense for now. I think if R or J thought that MT’s revelations and insight were dangerous rather than helpful they would have booted him off a long time ago.
August 6th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Side note update: Vine v. Spears. The suit against ACS was dismissed, I think, by petition to do so. The rest of the matter “to show cause” has been continued to Aug. 21.
August 6th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
And then the lawyers got involved…
August 6th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I think Vine and ACS might have settled. Vine sought the motion to dismiss against ACS only.
Or are you talking about something else?
August 7th, 2009 at 10:00 am
So, Vine wanted his suit dismissed against ACS.
That’s him employer, right? Or used to be.
Am, are you sure there was a settlement with ACS?
Wasn’t Vine suing Britney too? It’s been some time
since I heard about Vine. It’s hard to remember.
So the suit against his former employer is over.
But his lawsuit with Britney (or her dad) is
still pending. Is that right? Just asking.
St. Mag.,wherever you are, will you still be able
to attend the concert? How do you feel about it?
I have to make myself watch the Teen Choice show
on Monday. I think the last time I took time to
watch it was when Kevin did his rap on the show.
I didn’t like the song. But his dancing was good.
That was in 2006. Right before JJ was born.
Does anyone have any idea what the Ultimate Choice
award that Britney will get will be? An actual
trophy or a life size surfboard? That’s what the
awards is usually. A surfboard. I read online that
Lauren Conrad gave away her surfboard. To a fan of
something like that. Not sure why exactly. I guess
she’s not into surfing.
I’m not disappointed that Britney won’t perform.
It just means there’ll be less of the show I’ll
have to watch. Unless she’s awarded at the end of
the show. Dang. I really don’t wanna deal with a
2 hour kid show. I should skip it and wait until
the fansites put up the video of her winning.
I am hoping that she’ll actually say something
other than thank you or this is awesome. She’ll
be on and off stage in, I’ll guess, 10-15 seconds.
I hope that didn’t sound mean. But that’s how it
is with her now.
TTYL. Later.
August 7th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Fantasy. No I am not positive about the dismissal. That’s why I said, “I think.”
Here’s what’s in the summary:

August 7th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Fantasy-
I know you are a huge Brit fan so her not performing will be a let down for you and others but I thought it was interesting how first she was going to perform and now she is just appearing to accept an award that they just made up especially for her. I honestly believe that she was never scheduled to perform and somebody got a little excited and assumed otherwise.
If Brit is going to perform once again at the VMAs, then she would not peform at the TCA because she has special relationship with MTV.
If Brit’s camp really wanted to shock people she would do a complete 180 of what everyone expects. Come out with an acoustic band kind of like MTV Unplugged, show people she can really sing live- no lip synching.

St. Mag.,wherever you are, will you still be able

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yep, still going to the concert. My sis and two friends are coming, too. I’ve got two tickets halfway up (side ring), and two tickets 5 rows up from the ice on the other side of the arena (also across from a side ring). My sis thinks she’s sitting in the cheaper seats…I’m going to surprise her when we get there with the ones 5 rows from the floor.
My friends are totally pumped to go. My sister isn’t – she had a friend attend the Toronto show, and her friend told her the show “sucked” because Brit barely put any energy into the performance.
I’ve been watching some of the performances from Paris onwards…She seems to be getting more and more lively, so I’m hoping she’ll put on a good show for us. I really like Ciara, so I’m pumped about that.
Whatever happens, I’ll write a good, HONEST review afterwards. No holds barred.

I can not wait for your review!

QB, I’d love for Britney to sing live too.
At least sing the ballads live. I really miss her
voice. Whether it’s in song or spoken word.
St.Mag., I can’t wait for your concert review. I
know you’ll be fair and honest about everything.
Question.
What did you mean, St. Mag., when you said the
attorney’s got involved? Did you purposefully
not fill in the rest of your comment? I didn’t
get that. Can you explain it? Sorry. Just asking.
That video of the pissed off fan was so true.
A lot of us felt lied to. I don’t know why us fans
always get our hopes set so high only to feel
disappointed in the end. That guy spoke the
truest of words when he said that there’s really
no or little communication between Britney’s
team and her official website. And Britney has no
idea what is going on at the site. What a shame.
It was good to see Lynne back in California.
I only saw the back of her head. I’ve been asking
where she’s been. Kentwood I guess. Anyway. I’m
glad she’s spending time with Britney again.
That’s it for now. Goodnight guys.

Many of her fans have been waiting for yrs to do a live set. It’s disappointing. How would Unusual You sound with only a guitar/piano/any other instrument with live vocals? I think I will be waiting forever.
To be truthful, I’m not looking forward to a VMA performance. I do hope it’s good ifit happens. Can you tell, I’m disappointed? Or maybe I’m diappointed with her whole situation. I don’t know.
August 8th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Source: City News Service (wire) Aug. 3, 09 clips — no one published this story?
In a 13-page ruling, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Zaven V. Sinanian found that lawyers for Osama “Sam” Lutfi had established a “prima facie claim for defamation, assuming the statements were made falsely” by the pop star’s mother, Lynne Spears.
Lutfi’s lawyer, Bryan J. Freedman, said he was pleased with the ruling, which was handed down last Wednesday.
“He is a very smart judge who thoughtfully reviewed the evidence and the legal issues,” Freedman said.
“This is a significant loss for Lynne Spears and a sign of things to come.”
The ruling also sends a message that Lynne Spears “cannot (allegedly) defame someone and try to find a legal technicality to try and subsequently justify her conduct,” Freedman said.
***
Adler (Lynne’s atty) argued in court documents that the claims by Lutfi for libel and defamation should have been dismissed be-cause they interfered with her right to free speech. He also asked the judge to throw out an allegation of intentional infliction of emotional distress.
But in rejecting Adler’s motion in its entirety, Sinanian, who had the case under submission for six days, said there is evidence that Lynne Spears made statements with “reckless disregard for the truth.”
August 8th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
ok, metrolyric published it but without some of more colorful paragraphs above.
A number of fansites carried the judge deliberating story but not the follow-up. I’m probably boring everyone. Sorry.
August 8th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
AM-Thanks for the link to City News
I am going to have to disagree with Lutfi’s attorney in his assertion that the judge’s most recent ruling represents a “significant loss” for Lynne. I’m sure Lynne would have loved to get this case kicked out but this only the beginning.
Since I have just started doing civil litigation work, I can tell you that there are many ways to get rid of a law suit. First, you can demurrer a complaint. Second, you can do a Motion to Strike. Third, you can make a Motion for Summary Judgment and then if that does not work you can go to trial. This case without a settlement will likely go to trial.
Prima face case means just that “on its face” Lutfi has a claim for libel: defamatory statement of and concerning the plaintiff that was published resulting in damages; b/c Brit’s case involves a matter of public conern/public figure-Lutfi has the additional burden of proving that the statment was made with “actual malice”-knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard of whether the statement was true or false.
I still believe that Lynne has a good shot at winning and a number of defenses. After all who is the jury going to believe? A loving mother trying to protect her daughter or a manipualative control freak who screwed up her daughter’s life royally.
Most parents will probably relate to Lynne. I just read a story about how Amy Winehouse’s dad used a doctor and concoted a story about how he was having/had a heart attack to get his daughter to stop using drugs and it worked. Parents sometimes will do anything to save their children and potential jurors may agree and sympathize.
August 8th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
You’re welcome and how are you enjoying your new work, QB?
You make good points but I wonder about the court-appointed childcare monitor — the one whose word is regularly used in divorce/custody cases.
Lynne – that as a mother might have done or said anything? Or an off sworn in court official who was there with the children, used the phones, cars etc.?
As for Freedman and his Lynne’s loss? She made a motion to strike and she lost. “Wreckless disregard for the truth”? ouch. And the judge rejecting Lynne’s motion in its entirety?
btw, does anyone really believe Lynne is in LA? Maybe she has preserved well. I didn’t see that girl in the white sundress and dark hair from the back and think ohey yeh it’s Lynne.
Thanks for being crystal clear, QB, on the prima facia. Where would Lynne get the money for a settlement?
August 8th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Worth revisiting? London Times (Sunday Times) June 2009.
‘”Looking back,” says Lynne Spears, Britney’s mother, in her recently published memoir, Through the Storm, “I’m almost positive staying with Jamie was not the right thing to do for the kids. Our children saw far too many knock-down, drag-out fights.” Lynne recounts the terrible toll that Jamie’s alcoholism and verbal abuse took on the family over more than two decades, eventually driving them to bankruptcy and financial ruin. “I squandered my money on wild women and beer,” Jamie has admitted in an interview. In the end, it was Britney who pushed her mother into divorcing her father after 24 years of marriage.
Although Jamie insists he has conquered his alcoholism – he went into rehab six years ago and claims to have been sober ever since – people who know the Spears family doubt he is the right person to be taking care of his psychologi-cally fragile daughter. They also wonder whether a man whose small construction business went bankrupt should be overseeing an incredibly complicated, multimillion-dollar empire. Britney is estimated to be worth anywhere from $50m to $100m.
Even more troubling to some is that Jamie and the lawyers involved in Britney’s conservatorship appear to have such a strong financial interest in maintaining the arrangement. In the 11 months until December 2008, Jamie received $168,790 from his daughter’s estate – the SJB Revocable Trust – far more than he has ever made in his life, particularly in recent years, when he has worked as a caterer and chef on about $50,000 a year. Andrew Wallet, the exquisitely named lawyer who is the co-conservator, was paid $409,849 in the same period. The lawyer appointed to act for Britney – she has been deemed unfit by the court to choose her own – took $405,990. A total of 17 lawyers made about $3.7m from the conservatorship. An accountant who has looked at the figures says: “You can see why stars die broke.”‘
August 8th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
AM-
I’m really enjoying working right now. I’m helping out a solo practioner who specializes in family law so anything he does not want to do, I can do. I have worked on two civil litigation cases and 1 family law case so far.
Initially, I agreed to work for free just to get experience but he liked my work so much that he has agreed to pay me a couple hundred dollars a month-it is not a lot but it is better than nothing and plus I’m learning a lot.
Going back to Lynne, when Lutfi first filed his complaint, he included a bunch of stuff about Jamie/Lynne’s relationship with Brit and how they wanted to control her and Brit’s lawyer moved to strike that information from the Complaint and that request was granted and then Lutfi had to amend the complaint which is not uncommon.
Like I said before, you should not give too much weight to the judge’s ruling regarding “reckless disregard for the truth” because essentially all the judge was saying that Lutfi ON THE FACE OF THE COMPLAINT, has met his burden of proving actual malice. The judge did not say that Lynne was a liar because that is a question of fact for the jury.
The issue of whether he can prove actual malice in front of jury by a preponderance of the evidence is another story.
While one can argue that the child care monitor is a powerful witness for Lutfi, an argument will be made that Lutfi made sure not to engage in his controlling behavior when the monitor was around which would be a smart move on his part.
Ultimately, it is going to come to down to character and credibilty and who is more believable- a man with at least 3 now 4 restraining orders or Lynne.
So you say Lynne is lying but what about Danny Haines and the other people who sought court protection against Lutfi. What Lynne can argue is that Lutfi’s relationship with Brit fits with Lutfi’s M.O.
August 8th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Wow. Some post QB. I feel like I just talked to the defense attorney I talked to a ways back.
As a layperson it’s difficult to recognize what is “ordinary language” or read between the lines of articles recording courtroom events.
Enter Joel Boxer by the way on that last paragraph.
I really don’t care alot more than what might come out (but I meanwhile appreciate your perspective). Had the case been dismissed? No more news.
Adnan being instructed to do an interview? Gem. Keeper. I haven’t written the last of it. I believe Adnan’s version over Lynne’s. Do you?
His declaration is the one good thing I have seen come out of this even though he signed it far in advance as to what Lutfi was going to use it for…on the other hand…
Also Robin Johnson. Were we ever told that Britney no longer needed supervised visits? Was she? It’d be interesting to know if Johnson just moved along, was “fired” or there was a change in visitation.
I am so happy you are being paid! Yea! We all start somewhere and he liked your work. Bravo.
August 8th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
AM-
You would make a really good investigative journalist because you make an effort to get all the facts and I enjoy our conversations.
In regards to Adnan’s declaration, like I said before had he come out in early 2/08 and refuted Lynne’s declaration, his words would have a stronger impact and carry more weight now.
I’m not going to say Adnan is lying and I’m not going to say Lynne is lying. All I know is that when I read Lynne’s declaration, I believed her others are free to disagree.
In regards to Brit’s visits being supervised, what I always believed was once the conservatorship came into play, Jamie and the nanny in effect became the new unofficial monitors which how Brit regain visitations in the first place.
At one point, Jamie moved in with Brit but even though he no longer lives there, the nanny is there. Remember, it was the nanny who told Jamie about the secret cell phone. The nanny is not there simply to watch the children, she is watching Brit at Jamie’s and maybe Kevin’s behest.
What business is it of the nanny who her employer speaks to unless Brit is not really her employer but rather an employee of the conservatorship whose mission is to observe and report on everything that goes on in Brit’s house.
I will tell you that once the conservatorship is over, I would not be surprised if Brit gave her current nanny the boot.
August 9th, 2009 at 1:10 am
Thanks. Me too QB.
I think some others have voiced support that if Adnan had come out earlier it would have carried more weight.
I guess I am trying to think of what’s coming down the road like the Aug. 24 date and how to tell the other side of the story over weeks. Or maybe I am thinking how the whole story comes together.
Do you think it’s telling that Adnan didn’t say anything that early winter? He was careful with the media but then he came here and his words were carted off and changed.
I think you are right about the nanny, but I still wonder about the April cut off date. What if it went like this (you read the declarations right?) — childcare monitor gone (when in April?), Adnan gone, March (end of?)–everyone out of the house. Say anyone who might have questioned Jamie’s authority or practices.
What other story might be there? It’s quizzical that someone who has an established practice and reputation would become involved in freeing Britney Spears. Was that the goal? What was the goal in December? Why pursue Lynne in December? What other declarations might have been signed and not filed yet?
Lots of questions but we get more answers than some. I wish Steel would stop doing her job and eating Macs to relax from it and come here with her analysis. How can I tempt her?
Hey Steel, don’t forget MT told you that the c-ship was planned LONG in advance. Put down the sushi and lets hear your thoughts.
I meanwhile don’t understand why there needed to be three childcare monitors if Johnson was there “all the time” it seems for the scheduled visitation. Maybe Britney was getting more face time with her children than we knew?
Meanwhile a certain publication may apologize for an error soon and amend their story. That is what ethical journalists do when they find they have reported in error. I didn’t realize the AP had originated the story that E! possibly (really?) based their story off of as to why the c-ship review was canceled. And there is still that mystery fax from the AP that E! (months ago) put up on their website as exclusive documents. I was so green.
That part of it it seems is a solo investigative journey and one I can not let go. Justice. Fairness. A girl in a prison.
August 9th, 2009 at 1:15 am
I miss Fantasy and her long posts.
aw, what I meant was I think (really? you think?) Adnan caught flak for his interview with E!. He avoided the press probably like he said he did once earlier in his declaration.
If he distrusted the media then, he had further reason after the Q&A here. Hence when he came next it was not aired.
August 9th, 2009 at 1:29 am
AM-
I really do not expect any media outlet to retract any story on Brit. Time and again, E! and TMZ have gotten the story wrong and have never apologized. I’m always critical and don’t accept anything on face value.
Meanwhile, Adnan’s trial date is approaching and his life is on the line. I’m sure he could really use Brit’s support and she can’t reach out. I hope Adnan has a strong support system. I have heard jurors say that it makes a different if the defendant has family and friends that support him. I can’t even imagine the anixety and stress. Every time Adnan goes to court he is always alone. He needs so much support and I hope he gets it.
August 9th, 2009 at 2:10 am
QB –
Wanna bet? I mean this in good team spirit. Nothing seriously “challenging” or mulish.
E! and TMZ retract a report? Hell no and they will never win a Pulitzer either and neither will any of their “journalists.” No journalist by the way would treat Adnan the way the TMZ “journalist” has.
But the AP is a different horse. It’s hallowed ground.
If you think about it you may have seen various corrections in your newspaper such as Correction: the Arizona Republic apologizes. On Wednesday we reported that ..
Even misspelled last names will sometime merit corrections to a story. They don’t add up to much in print newspaper. I mean who really sees those corrections? I do but that’s me and I don’t look for them I just notice them.
As you are learning on your job, I am learning on mine. Let’s see how the week works out but for now it’s cold ethics in journalism and a code of honor. It’s more than that. To lose respect of your fellow journalists? To violate the code? Force someone into an interview? Pay for an interview? It’s all crossing the line.
The interesting thing now is competing with TMZ and the like while print journalism is falling to its knees. Not enough advertisers and departing advertisers who are trying out the Internet.
And then the allure of TMZ reporting Jackson died 6 mins (is that right?) before his death was pronounced. Lots of talk amongst journalists right now while meanwhile, CNN, a news outlet the president (not Obama) himself was checking out is plugging news sources such as TMZ and US Weekly.
Anyway, QB, I never tried to get a news source to correct their story before… but I believe I can. It’s not just ethics it’s hmm… who would be interested in a story on … it’s a jungle QB. I never explored one like this before but the skills are the same and at the same time I am developing new ones.
I respect and appreciate your thoughts.
p.s. I am pretty sure Adnan has family and friends who support him. Outside of them do you think we came out of the blue?
August 9th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Wow! QB and Amethyst. Wonderful conversation.
So many good points made by both of you.
Okay. My turn. I’ll have to stop and scroll up
every now and then to respond to certain things.
I will try to be brief. If I’m not, well, I tried.
You know. Maybe I should do multiple posts like
Am does. Break things up instead of one long post
that drags on for miles. I’ll do that. Okay?
BRB.
August 9th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
In this post I’ll discuss the Lutfi vs. Lynne
lawsuit and what Freedman and the Judge Sinanian
had to say about things. Here goes.
Freedman feels that Judge S.’s ruling is “a sign
of things to come.” Freedman and Lutfi must be
feeling so good right now. They feel like they
have a real shot at winning. Right? Judge S.’s
statement about Lynne Spears having a “reckless
disreguard for the truth” can easily be translated
into layman’s talk (my language) and be heard as
the Jdg. saying this: Lynne lied. Plain & simple.
There are many ways to call a person a liar w/out
saying, “You’re a liar.” and sounding real harsh.
Anyway. That was my interpretation. She may have
exaggerated some things. In other words: she lied.
I can completely understand why she’d do that.
She believed this man, Lutfi, was drugging her
daughter, controlling her, etc. Lynne was angry.
She wanted to tell her side of the story w/ her
book (for many reasons)to show people what a
horrible person Lutfi is and to, maybe, punish
him for doing what he did to Britney and make him
somehow pay for what he’d done. She wanted to
get even. Are you following me, guys? Good!
If and when this case goes to trial (which I can
see happening and also as something that Lynne
would like to avoid but Lutfi would love to have
happen), if Lynne/ her atty. loses the case who
will pay Lutfi for the emotional distress that
he’s claiming to have suffered from? Where will
the $$ come from? Lynne herself? How? From the $$
in the bank in Louisiana that her brother is in
charge of? Or could it come from the SJB Trust?
Bryan and Ivan are in control of that. Right?
But not so fast. (Telling myself this.) Wouldn’t
a Jdg. have to have knowledge of any monies being
withdrawn from the SJB Trust and have to approve
of the money being transferred from on place to
the other? Jamie or Lynne can’t just call up
Bryan and say, “Hey, son. Cut me a check for X
amount of cash.” And Bryan just does it ASAP.
Am I right about this. Please correct me if not.
So it’ll come down to who the jury will believe.
They re the deciders. Lynne or Lutfi? I think
the jury will most likely side with Lynne. But
you never know. Lutfi’s PRO, past TRO’s, and his
other facts about his personal history will come
back to bite him in th butt. He’s got a shot.
But I still think Lynne will probably win.
Next!!!
August 9th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Gosh, that was a mouthful. Okay. Moving on.
Next up for me to discuss Robin Johnson.
Okay. So, it was my understanding that there were
3 monitors around that time to watch Britney with
SP & JJ. Correct? I am under the impression that
the 3 monitors were rotating. Like, 1 for day
visits during the week. Another for the overnight visit, etc. We or I don’t know why Robin left.
My question is, where are the other 2 monitors?
And why’d Lutfi, seemingly, only choose Robin to
support his claims and give a declaration. Was
she his “favorite”. I do not know. I think that
she’s believeable. But this is still going to
be a Lynne/ Lutfi thing. Robin’s decl. gives
Lutfi the support he’s in need of (as well as
Alli, Felipe, and Adnan). But I don’t know how
much of what they all say in their decl. will
actually matter. It’s a nice try on Lutfi’s part.
But I think that the decl. won’t be such a major
or even a deciding factor in the end. IMO.
FYI. I suck at typing. I peck. Sorry if there is
a large gap between my postings. Okay. Next!!
August 9th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Now I’m on to Lulu.
QB, are you out there? Maybe. You’re so right
about Lulu. She watches Britney too. Not just
the kids. In my book, she’s a snitch. It became
Lulu’s business to monitor Britney’s phone
conversations, interactions with other’s because
Jamie most likely asked or told her in so many
words to do that. It’s a part of her job.
Lulu is paid to do it. I think normally she would
not do that to her employer’s daughter, as it is
in this case. But there’s a conservatorship in
process people! Lots of things that wouldn’t
normally happen does happen. People are doing
things they’d normally not ever imagine doing
if the weren’t employed by Jamie who is the
conservator of Britney. They all work for Jamie
under the guise of being Britney’s staff.
Ain’t that some shit?!
Britney may not want any Edan, Lulu, Brett or any
of those people around her. I think she liked
her privacy (as little as she’s got) and her
space when in her home. Now she’s living in a
house that’s not as private as one may think.
I read there are double security gates that you
have to go through just to access her home.
She’s in an even smaller bubble than she was in
at the Summit estate. How isolated she must feel.
Oh, yeah. If the c-ship were to end, I don’t know
what Britney will do, but if I were her I’d
let go of ALL of the c-ship employees. And hell
yes, Lulu would be the first one to go!!
If you all can’t tell by now, I have my own
personal issues with Senora Lulu. It’s my right.
Next!!
August 9th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Almost done guys. Sit still. This is the last one.
TMZ and the AP.
From the looks of things the AP, as well as other
mainstream media outlets, are allowing TMZ to
do what they would/should/ used do. I was reading
something yesterday in the Huffington Post and
they cited TMZ as a source of the story that they
were doing. Why? Well, the AP isn’t on their shit
like they used to be. It’s less work that they’ll
have to do so the the AP doesn’t seem to mind
that TMZ has taken over and runs things.
As for the AP being short on Adnan info. Again,
that is now TMZ’s thing. Or E! or Radaronline.
Those 3 also seem to rotate when it comes to
telling the Adnan story. If E! isn’t into it and
TMZ can’t be bothered because they’re busy working
on the MJ story then Radar will carry what goes
on in court with Adnan. Sometimes it neither of
the 3. But that’s how it’s been so far.
I see it like this guys. The AP is waiting for
an outcome/verdict in Adnan’s trial. Then that’s
when they’ll print something. After that, case
closed. Then on to something that actually has the
AP’s interest. Until then it’s on TMZ, E!, or
Radar to stay on top of The People vs A.G. case.
I don’t see AG’s upcoming trial as a major
attention grabber for most people outside of
the Britney fansites. Even at the fansites
they don’t really care. They’re like, enough with
this Adnan already. They’re over it. They were
not into the man at all when he was in Britney’s
life and now tht he isn’t and Britney is “better”
most don’t give a crap. They too want him to
go away and not be heard from or mentioned again.
That sounded kinda mean. But that’s how they feel.
I’m telling you the truth. I’ve been to the other
fansites and that’s their feeling. It’s really
worse than what I said, but I’m trying to be real
without slamming him like I hate his gut. I don’t.
Done. That’s all I have to say for now.
I hope I made sense and was clear with how I
wrote things. I’ll take a break now.
TTYL.

Goodness, Fantasy.
You haven’t been on here quite as much so maybe you were holding it in?
Very interesting perspective, ideas and your humor — Senora Lulu. Love it. I will think a little more on the things that both you and QB said and even what I said.
Meanwhile, a kind fan shared these pics on Exhale.
Page all the way down, across etc. There are some interesting ones…

Fantasy-
Your long post was great. I guess we are on the same page when it comes to the nanny. How unnerving it must be knowing that someone is watching and monitoring your evey move and you do not have the power or authority to get rid of her.
What is so crazy is the kids on BH/EXHALE think everything practically normal in Brit’s life which is so not true. They believed that erroneous story on TMZ about how Brit has the kids more than Kevin but they do not realize that she is still being monitored/supervised; she is never left alone with her children. The nanny is not loyal to Brit she is loyal to Jamie.
August 10th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Hi. Morning.
Small. Is this the FOX News interview with Jamie
that you had mention not too long ago?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,253618,00.html
It says the brief phone intv. took place at his
home in Louisiana. They may be referring to the
house Britney grew up in which I once read he
still owns. I don’t think they meant Serenity.
But I can’t be sure. I don’t think so. It was
said that he didn’t like Serenity. Lynne and J-L
moved in there after Britney bought it. I read
somewhere that Jamie’s nickname for Serenity is
The Dollhouse. He and Lynne were separated and
about to finally divorce when Serenity was bought.
Anyway. This is just a recap. It also talks about
how there was never an emergency hearing to be
held if Britney refused rehab again and someone
was leaking misinformation.
Small. TCA video acceptance speech is up at BH.
Britney was there and gone in seconds. Skip to
the 5:10 mark when you find the video.
If anyone is interested in the FOX News intv.
from 2007 and my link fails, you can go to the
site and search for it.
“Britney Spears Back In Rehab; Dad Talks To
Fox News”. Thu. 2-22-2007.
I don’t mean to bring up stuff that’s already
been discussed here. For me, it’s something I
did not know of until I heard Small mention it.
Thanks for that, Small.
Enjoy the day everyone!
August 10th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
QB. I am dropping this for now (got a different strategy in mind) but wanted to offer an example of a correction to a story.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/14/business/media/14apee.html
The correction is at the bottom.
Meanwhile there seems to be some interest in calling out falsehoods and those telling them.
http://britneyspearsblackout.com/?p=15040
I did not find that link on my own.
Fantasy. Steel has posted that Fox story more than once but I always find something new to look at, such as what question Jamie might have been answering. Or did he volunteer it?
Did it go like this? Mr. Spears, why is she going into rehab? Is it drugs, alcohol?
No, it’s not about what other people think. She’s a sick little girl…
Maybe Steel will stop in. She’s looked at the story and those words a number of times.
August 10th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
About the nanny, when I think of how much power or authority she might have it’s sickening.
Ama was one of the first to point out was it physical possessiveness? Something like that. I hadn’t been paying attention.
The nanny is like someone Britney has to suffer through. Europe seems to have been a break. Many the nanny couldn’t leave the country or couldn’t travel for some other reason. I did not mind not seeing her.
I also think Ama is right about Brett’s “girlfriend” and her added security role or watchdog snoop.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
This is an interesting read if you insert Sam Lutfi as Tony Barretto’s boss and partner. It’s an interview on the Larry King show with Gloria Alred.
And there’s Britney again complaining of feeling hot, overheated.
I wonder what Tony would say today if contacted. If he now believes Lynne’s declaration that Sam was drugging her would it change his remembrance of things? Would things fall into place and make sense?
One scene he describes sounds just like the song on Circus.
http://teamkevin.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
If it was Sam that’s cross-proof of May 07. Also, if it was Sam there he is calling the shots on Britney’s healthcare.

I found an interesting article by following those last links:
http://teamkevin.blogspot.com/2007/02/britneys-chaotic-life.html
Personally, I don’t think Tony would feel differently after reading Lynne’s declaration. I think he’d probably think Lynne was just trying to save the “brand” by covering up what was really going on.
August 10th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
huh? http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/3763819
The fine print at the end is “Aug. 5th”..that’s funny.
Anyway there’s our man and Mr. Korn.
August 10th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Steel. I was only thinking he would think back that things might not have been exactly as they appeared. His partner and boss doping Britney? That would have explained some of her behavior.
He has to consider that an option. I think it would be interesting to talk to him.
August 10th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Adnan, we love you man!
QB last thing heard on the tape I just posted. Don’t know who that was but he’s got support.
August 10th, 2009 at 6:45 pm

I never saw it before. Splash says Britney desperate to get in touch with Adnan.
March 09 (has Merry Christmas concert footage)
August 10th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I have a question about the last Splash video.
The one at 6:45pm. Weren’t Christmas cards or a
Christmas card talked about in court? Wasn’t it
Berk? I can’t recall. I’m thinking that if the
Christmas card that Britney was trying to mail to
Adnan was never sent, maybe that’s why she said,
“Merry Christmas” during her concert. (In March)
Even though the card may not have gotten to him
she was still trying, in a way, to say Merry
Christmas to him.
Sorry guys. I didn’t know the Fox News story has
been discussed already. Like I told ya it was
new for me and so i put it out there. Oops!..
August 10th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Fantasy. I don’t think anyone minded the posting of the Fox story. It’s relevant.
Merry Christmas can also be an FU kind of a comment. Not toward Adnan. I don’t think a Christmas card would ever be an indication of that but a verbal aside at a concert? Says something.
The card in the court case? How could Lutfi have it if it was Dec. 2008?
I haven’t looked at those details in awhile. They are in the archives though and I will explore them again at some point.
August 10th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Fantasy. You got me thinking. We didn’t have the declarations before. I’ll got back to the transcript re the card and wasn’t it just a Christmas card envelope?
Declarations most in December so maybe she sent him a card with her wishes. It’s possible. And oc it’s possible the Merry Christmas was connected.
What do any of us know but MT for sure? Every telephone call to a source helps but …
August 10th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Fantasy. Freedman was saying there was a Christmas card sent in December 2008.

August 10th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
So it was last year. Any idea as to what she
wrote in the card? I didn’t understand Britney
blurting out things in concerts. I didn’t like it.
But some of the things she said were funny.
March 18, 2009. Adnan’s restraining order becomes
permanent. It’s in effect for 3 years.
March 24, 2009. At a concert in Washington D.C.
Britney unexpectedly says, “Merry Christmas!”
What song was playing in the background when she
said that? Wasn’t it the song Do Somethin’?
I’ll have to watch the Splash video again just
to be sure about it. I did think that Britney
was aware of what she was blurting out. I did
not understand why she was doing it. I guess now
I know why. It makes sense.
Gosh. Do you all think that the news of Adnan’s
PRO got back to Britney that late? One week later.
It’s like she’s on an information delay. It’s
weird how the public seemingly knows of things
at least one week before she does. That’s sad.
TTYL, guys.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
My question answered. It was the song Do Somethin’
that was playing when she said Merry Christmas.
Clever of her if she planned to say it at that
particular time while that song played.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Okay. I mean, it’s not so much about the song.
It’s more, at least to me, about the songs title.
That’s what I meant to say.
Good night, everyone.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Goodnight, Fantasy. I am about to log off myself but you never know.
MT said she gets her news late. He said she would hear of things when everything was already said and done. She complained about he said.
Nice timeline. Was Merry Christmas the first thing she said aloud? I never ever thought she wasn’t aware of what she was saying.
QB. Do you think it would have any effect on exhalers/fans if they heard that Britney will never have any custody while under c-ship?
August 11th, 2009 at 12:34 am
AM-
I do not think that the fact that Brit cannot regain custody if she is still under the conservatorship means anything to her fans because most of them do not understand the distinction between legal custody, physical custody and visitation.
Thanks to outlets like TMZ, fans are under the mistaken impression that Brit has the kids more than Kevin which is probably false and if it was true, it is simply an accommodation for Brit’s touring schedule and legal custody still rests with Kevin.
The fact of the matter is that the judge awarded Kevin sole legal/physical custody to Kevin last January and that ruling has never been modified.
All Brit has is expanded visitation because Jamie/Nanny are still supervising Brit’s interaction with her boys. No judge will ever award Brit joint legal/physical custody to someone who has been judged incapable of managing their own affairs. Like I said before, the fans think that everything is back to normal which is so not true.
August 11th, 2009 at 1:14 am
“Queen B Says:
August 11th, 2009 at 12:34 am

…
…..
…….
“No judge will ever award Brit joint legal/physical custody to someone who has been judged incapable of managing their own affairs. ”
I just wonder WHO in this case are soul managing their/Britneys affairs? And I talk both of “the best for the kids” to her money/affairs.
They have help from all sort of professional people, and the only “work” or “respons” they showing, is to be their with their name, and getting their money checks by doing that.
In this time of crisis we have been numerous of celebs who have managing their own business, and they have been HUGE fooled. Almost loosing all their money.
Nobody have questing their capacity to take care of their kids future, or take care of their own affairs in the future.
Britney must get her personal life back, she is a good loving mother, whe have huge capacity to work, she know how to deal with stress and depression now.. Health status who we all can be “hit” by under our life.
All have get a fine future becuase of “helping” Britney Spears.
Time for them to step down before this case start to stink!
I´m sure there will be persons she maybe choice to hold on to, in here staff, and I´m sure there must be more professional economic educated persons with good reputation, who she can choice to take into her personal advisor in the future
who she can choice to take into her personal advisor in the future.
Taking care of her kids she not have to learn, her love for them is normal and strong.
And again. Let Britney Spears have her own personality.
She is not a BRAND.
She is a human being.
If people can understand her different roles, working and having a BRAND.
And then in her private time: Britney Spears. Women, mother, sister, friend, daughter.
I hope she get the possibility to live as a free person in US, her homeland, who prise the personal freedom.
August 11th, 2009 at 2:29 am
Fantasy—thank you for the heads up on the TCA video. I’m going to go check it out. I saw pictures yesterday and all I will say is, I want to buy her a brush for Christmas. Brushing her hair is the least of her worries, but geez.
The Fox interview wasn’t the one I was talking about. The one I was referring to was one that never aired. The interview was advertised at the end of Scarborough Country segment on MSNBC, but it was never mentioned again.
QB and AM, I wish her fans would wise up and realize Britney has no custody. And if I were Britney, I would fire the nanny as soon as I was out from under the c-ship.
Has anyone noticed no pictures of Jason and Britney lately…what’s up with that!? Did they break up already
August 11th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Small Hands-
You ask if Brit and Jason had broken up. Were they even really together. I’m sure that Jason is a nice man and maybe the only man her father approves of but you could tell that there was no fire or passion between the two in comparison to her past relationships with Kevin or Adnan.
Jason is a safe choice; an acceptable choice but Brit has never been the kind of person to play it safe.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:19 am
I just noticed that the google ads are back on BH.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:51 am
QB. I guess then the ticket is to raise more questions about whether things really are back to normal. I feel so stupid writing that.
fyi, journalism code of ethics. http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

JM has google ads? I gather his attorney said go for it?
I take it Lynne is not in LA?
August 11th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
QB–the question about Jason and Britney was a bit of a joke, on my part….that is why I used a “winking” smiley instead of regular smile. I don’t see chemistry between the two either. Sorry, the stupid joke when over badly. LOL.
Have a nice day everyone
August 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
BIGGIE. I think we got it.
QB. I went ahead and tried to make good with my bet from the other day. I don’t know what will happen now.
It took some pluck but the clock was tick tick and part of the code is to give the other person a chance, you know hear the other side. I thought I would talk direct to the reporter but ended up having to explain first to someone higher up.
I hope this may serve you sometime in the future. I could have gotten scared etc. but numerous fact tumbled out instead. I established credibility. You are right. I do know alot.
I just want them to stop doing it. I want them to stop it before Adnan goes to trial if it comes to that. I also want to see an amazing non-profit news organization set a standard for the rest of us.
Either way I’ve got a story. Imagine they do something. Imagine they do nothing.
Pushed past 2,000 views now by the way almost exclusively generated by two fan sites. Time to invite more friends while thinking of the more than can be done. Top hitters by the way? “I make all business decisions” and c-ship review canceled.

If he is such good friends with Britney then… I wonder how much time they ever spent alone. I doubt she took him into her confidences.

Definitely some discrepancies there.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Since people have been digging up old articles recently, I found this Feb. 2008 article regarding Brit and the conservatorship. One thing I did learn is that before a conservatorship is made permanent, the conservatee can ask for and has a right to a jury trial because the conservatorship is considered a major infringement on one’s rights.
Can you imagine a jury deciding if Brit should be free of the conservatorship. I still do not know how Jamie/Co. convinced her to consent to a permanent conservatorship.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/110670
August 12th, 2009 at 12:30 am
Um… QB? Her loss of a jury trial remains a sore spot for me, one that needs light shed on it?
I will forever hate the content of a certain news source for editorializing that day she lost the right to a jury trial.
Are you familiar with it?
Can it meanwhile be changed, altered, opened? She’s tried a number of other things. Why not a jury trial? Is it permanent too late?
We need a c-ship expert. Anderson was a good pic — unique — but am sure he is shy of he media and lawd knows what he signed to be free of this affair.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:31 am
I have another one picked out.
August 12th, 2009 at 2:04 am
I hope the latest rumor about “Unusual You” being the next single is true. It is the best song on her CD, in my opinion.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I thought “Radar” was the best song on the Circus album…
Oh wait…LOL
You know, I’ve barely even listened to that Circus album. I have this little group of kids (ages 8-11 or so) that I take out for ice cream sometimes, and even THEY pull out Blackout and put it in the CD player. They don’t even want to hear Circus! It’s just Blackout over and over and over until my head’s ready to explode!
But, yes, I definitely like Unusual You. And after watching the TCA’s, it looks like Brit’s really starting to act like her old self on stage again…Not 100% there, but gettin’ there.
I wonder how much she actually knows about Adnan’s situation?
August 12th, 2009 at 11:23 am
AM-
The Newsweek article is the best one I have ever seen in terms of giving a general overview of the whole conservatorship process.
It seems to me that Brit waived her right to a jury trial before the conservatorship was made permanent so she can’t go back and ask for trial. Remember Goetz that Brit “reluctantly agreed” to extend the conservatorship. However, according to everything source I have read, a conservatee or the conservator has every right to petition to end the conservatorship at any time and so far she has not exercised that right.
What I took away from the article is that are safeguards in place i.e., right to counsel and right to a jury trial and that it is not as easy to get a conservatorship as one might think.
The state bar of CA has a list of attorneys who have been deemed by the state bar as a specialist in trust, estate and probate law so if you want to find out more information, you can call one of those attorneys.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
QB. I should have read that article yesterday. I apologize. Great find.
In addition to the content it got me thinking about my attorney-source. I have never had a good intuitive feeling toward him despite his qualifications but his last name is Cohen and I think that would confuse the public.
So the question meanwhile becomes does she need a lawyer to file the petition, arrange court time etc.? And also how does she arrange to keep her custodial arrangement at the same time?
As to Unusual You I do hope that makes it to the airwaves. Outside of Mannequin it’s a fave. The crummy thing otherwise about having heard the album and daily thinking or writing about Britney is that I hear my less favorite tunes. Yesterday was Shattered Glass today is Circus and my least favorite, Womanizer, comes up now and again.
I don’t hate the songs but they come with the territory I guess. It’s almost amusing.
Thanks again, QB. The Newsweek article puts things back into perspective. I wonder if they did a follow-up article.
Oh and btw, I went searching for Kaplan’s video yesterday where he clearly says Britney does not have custody. It was here http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b128685_K_Fed_and_Britney_Rework_Their_Time_With_the_Kids.html and also under Kaplan Spills on Custody.
If you get a chance please glance at E! They didn’t include what Kaplan said about custody v. visitation and the video is inoperable. Blank.
August 12th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
QB. I thought you might like to see this.
http://famewatcher.com/2009/08/margaret-lodise-guardian-ad-litem-for-michael-jacksons-kids.html
Did you find an amazing possible source or what.
August 12th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
AM-
When I found out who the guardian ad litem was for MJ’s kids, I typed her name into yahoo and the newsweek article came up. You can tell she really knows a lot about conservatorship litigation. I would trust her word over TMZ.
August 12th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
It seems to me that Ingham as the only person who legally represent me in regards to the conservatorship can petition to end it on her behalf if that is what she wants. Jamie cannot keep Brit from communicating with her attorney.
It is totally possible that the real reason why she has not sought to end the conservatorship is it could result in less time with her kids. Right now Brit sees her kids on a typical week 3 days/3 nights. I do not see that changing unless she starts acting inappropriately but what could happen is that Kevin could insist on having a court appointed monitor in her home which is something Brit might detest.
I remember seeing a VH1 special on Tommy Lee and at that time he had monitored visits with his son. The monitor would arrive at his home and he and the monitor would go to Pamela Anderson’s house to pick the kids up. If Tommy and the boys went into one room, the monitor would follow and so Tommy decided he did not want any overnight visits because he felt very uncomfortable with the idea of some stranger spending the night in his home. I’m pretty sure Brit would probably feel the same way.
August 12th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
If you search back around the time when the c-ship began and the visitation was agreed to, you should find something regarding visitation agreements already in place if the c-ship were to end. it may have changed by now, but i haven’t heard about it. at least that’s how i remember it. i think it was kaplan talking.
August 12th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Hm. That would take a telephone. God forbid.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
MH-
Thanks for the info. I do remember Kaplan saying that there was some contigency plan but who knows what the particulars are. I do not know if it is given that the custodial time share will remain exactly the same without Jamie.
Here is what I think will happen-conservatorship is lifted and Brit goes into family court to regain joint legal/physical custody of the boys arguing that she can provide a safe and stable home;
Kevin will oppose her motion because he will argue that her history of stability was directly related to the presence of the conservatorship and it would not be prudent to change the court order without knowing how Brit is going to behave post-conservatorship.
The judge will likely side with Kevin and take a wait and see approach. Brit will be under the microscope but if after 6 or 9 months goes by without incident, joint custody could be restored.
August 12th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
qb, i think that’s pretty much exactly how it will go in court.
kaplan’s words were something like…provisions are in place for that.

Good morning.
Gotta discuss this. Britney: The Shopping Spree
WTH (what the heck) was with her at the boutique
the other day? I watched the video. Did you?
I know you did. She was frantically trying on
one item after the other. And doing her cute but
super-hyped run inside of the store. In and then
quickly out of the dressing room and making very
interesting facial expressions. TMZ has a list
of the items she bought and a price list too.
I don’t care about how much money she spent.
Rich people always buy expensive things. Shocker!!
But why was she rushing through the boutique like
that? Who was she racing against? Was there, like,
somewhere else she had to be and just quickly did
her thing and left? Or…idk. WTH is with her?
Why was she being that way? All extra energetic.
And why the heck doesn’t she exude that same kind
of energy when she’s doing her concerts? Huh?!
Does she take less medication when off the road?
But, then she takes more when back on tour. Right?
Is that what’s happening? Uping then downing
the dosage every couple of months. Is that good?
Maybe it has nothing to do with medication.
Maybe she’s just happy to be back in L.A.
Maybe she really liked the store THAT MUCH.(Imagine spreading your arms out wide open when
you read me saying THAT MUCH.)
And you know what? I’m not gonna try to wrap my
brain around the weave crisis Britney is enduring.
Whoever does her hair really gives it all he/she
has got. But her stylist has to know by now that
once she’s out of the chair and out the door, her
new ‘do will look like a don’t within a matter of
days. Possibly hours. Oh, Britney Britney Britney
Britney Britney. Dear, sweet girl with a heart
of gold. What am I going to do with you?
St.Mag. Don’t forget this. When you go to see the
concert remember to “seek” Brett then send
the photo to BH. Okay? That should keep you busy
during most of Britney’s costume changes. LOL.
TTYL. Bye!
August 13th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Fantasy, you just took the words right out of my keyboard…
I was just checking out the Vionnet site, and their stuff IS pretty exciting. But I wish Brit would put that much energy into performing! At least I hope she puts that much into it when I go to see her.
The hair…I did notice she was trying on multiple hats inside the store, so that could be why her weave was so messed up. But still…You really gotta wonder. Although I’m sure at this point she doesn’t see her hair as “hair,” but as some kind of stage prop that she has to deal with until she gets up on stage. Maybe?! I dunno…After all the extensions and dye jobs, the texture of it must be like straw…Eh, what us women won’t do for beauty.
And forget the “If U Seek Brett” photos…I’m all about “If U Seek Larry!” lol
August 13th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Fantasy- was her hair really that bad?
I have alway felt that Brit should ditch the weaves and hair extensions and just wear her natural hair whatever the length in a really cute short style that fits her features.
For business reasons, Brit is kind of forced to maintain a certain look but a short style that is wash and wear would be a great alternative to the hair extensions.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:54 am
There will never be any behavior that Britney does, that will suit the public.
The gossip site will show videos or pics and all people seeing what they want them to see.
Not one sigle comments have I get on the comment I wrote about that I have seen that britneys waving with her feet, is the same as her mother does.
Always the videos showing Britneys waving with her feet, as a “proof” of her being “nervous” or some other disorder.
Its like an ill-meaning public mob, want to turn everything to the whorst.
She is not a “lady lounging her way through life”, with no expression in her face (Paris Hilton style sort of)
Let Britney have her personality. She is Britney spears. She is a human being, having her own personality, not a role to play round the clock.
Its my opinion, not any harm meaning to anyone here.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Thunderstorm, have no time for correction of spelling. Bye for now.
August 13th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
doc, you’ve asked many times who the interviewer was. someone on BH posted it was phil griffin. if that’s true, what of it?
August 13th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
amazon has him listed as director. the web has him as co-producer, camera operator. what now?
August 13th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
he has an accent but doesn’t sound like the FTR interviewer.
August 13th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Steel. I can’t wait for your review on Britney and on One Call. I can’t wait to hear how the crowd reacts while meanwhile I wonder that they will play while the crowd is still milling about buying concessions er..beer.
August 13th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Howdy campers. I saw a little tidbit, not on the open Internet, by an entertainment news wire.
It was one sentence that said our mutual friend is writing a book about his 2008 relationship. There was no source given.
The wire was sent 8-10-09. How weird will this be if that is the new lie to come out. And I and some others will have a place to point to.
If nothing happens then someone wasted their creative muscle but they caught my eye more than usual.
August 13th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
QB—I’ve been waiting for the day that Britney will ditch the extensions and wear her natural do. I don’t care what length it is.
August 13th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
small, I know you were addressing QB and Steel I think but I would love for Britney to ditch the extensions.
Does a star of her magnitude really need such full or lengthy hair? I remember reading she wished she had thicker hair. I think that dream has been realized.
I would be inclined to think the c-ship and Britney the Brand was loosening if Britney had natural short hair. Britney could set a trend to triumph shaving her hair. C’mon Brit!
August 14th, 2009 at 12:21 am
so lynn is appealing? while the lawyers keep counting their money.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:12 am
MH. A most curious thing is Joel Boxer.
I hope to have up a story tomorrow but don’t know if I will mention him in it.
I believe Boxer is the same attorney who was lurking on May 4th and according to MT, invited TMZ along.
Boxer can only lead back to Britney’s bank. Do you think? Everything in the “interest of protecting the conservatee.”
Don’t some of you wonder why some of those hefty attorneys’ fees weren’t bankable back to the prosecution of the three men?
Meanwhile, I added color and pics to the site and a new About. http://fairnewsspears.wordpress.com/about/
and http://fairnewsspears.wordpress.com/
Story coming tomorrow with court documents I think. 13 pages. Tedious reading (the docs) but one I imagine QB in particular may appreciate since they from the Hon. Sinanian and QB presented us with thoughts on the case.
mw, who else could this be but Lynne?
08/12/2009 Ntc to Atty re Notice of Appeal
Filed by Clerk
08/11/2009 Notice of Appeal

Boxer made an appearance back in July. Why note him if he is officially defending Lynne? I believe he is the lurker in the corner, the same one who directed the D.A. in Adnan’s case.
Thoughts appreciated.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:15 am
Clarification: there is a minute order connected with Lutfi’s case to show that Boxer made an appearance.
Ama. I don’t think many people are aware of whatever you saw on foot waving. Where did you see it?
August 14th, 2009 at 2:21 am
AM–I read the about section. It looks good. It is coming together nicely.
Britney would look beautiful with her real short do. I think the public would like it.
The lawyers keep getting richer.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:38 am
Thank you, Small. Really. Thank you.
I love adding the new pics and I am grateful for a masthead and I love the one I have plus the pic on About. I added this pic tonight to an older story. Hey it’s London!
http://wp.me/px8ZX-3l
It’s kind of fun blending prose with photography. It’s new to me. p.s. notice my short link? yea!
August 14th, 2009 at 2:41 am
I’m frightened and concerned about the lawyers. They can hover around? How will they justify to Judge Goetz? There’s no one to sue for Boxer’s charges now is there?
Except that bullshit story or tag line, protecting the golden goose. I hope Goetz throws the book at them on September 23rd.
The judge does afterall occupy a political position.
August 14th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
No news is good news? Maybe not.

Not in showbiz
lol
Have a nice weekend everyone.
So the new rumor is…Britney got dumped by Jason. LOL.
August 15th, 2009 at 11:35 am
I’m totally getting shafted on the opening acts.
Barf-licious!
*sigh*
August 15th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Sorry…I need some cheese to go with my whine.
But I am getting excited for the rest of it. It’s getting closer now.

I posted it on the lnk who “went crazy”..you know the one you say I dont have to be worried about, it was the server or something who make all the other comments…
But here it is again:

Good for her.
So many who want to take out the millisecond of the pics, when she blink.
But as we all have seen, on our private pics, this photos dont show us in our best look.
We can be sober as a baby, but look as we not have sleep for days, or have heavy drinking going on.
*************************
***************************
They all use her, to fit their purpose..
FTR, c-chip, Mom Lynne Spears Brands, the haters, the gossip sites, and so on.
Find something interesting, looking at “old” videos.
In FTR, and many other videos, the cameras usual “point out” that Britney waving her foot.
Why do they do that?
“Look! What do you think, is this a healty behavior???”
Then I look at:
Biography by Lynne Spears, Mother of Jamie Lynn, Bryan and Britney Spears
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvjkOZI3jdQ
Lynne Spears start waving her foot at 0:24, but they make it “disappear” soon as they could. Nice editing.
Britney have get this “waving with her foot behavior”, from mum Lynne, and not because she is “nervous”

August 15th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Canada, England yes yes. I was thrilled to see the strength and independence the Ottawa press and its journalist. I thought we had seen something out there before that wasn’t run of the mill and was different but I can’t remember the story other than Vancouver smoke.
Are there any Canadian Brit fan sites you are aware of? Also did you see our group’s little stamp on the article? Britney the Brand v. Britney the human?
That line of thought came from all of us plus the actual words in the Wright documents. Thanks, guys I hope I did okay.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Ama at 1:19. Waving feet do not draw my attention.
Gasp. I am a foot waver!
Big deal. I have a lot of energy.
Anyway, it’s a common thing but can show impatience?
Annoyance?
I don’t know who is making a big deal out of Brit and her foot. I haven’t read anything like that.
August 15th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Ama. I watched the vid you posted. I would never have thought anything about a waving foot.
Some “boys” and I mean stupid young ones read into a waving foot as a sexual masturbation. It’s so stupid, but then YOUNG boys will read anything into anything about sex.
You actually read about someone trying to make others think it is crazy? Did you read this some place major?

Steel and her five lead-up bands to a Circus performance.
Found this comment at another website:

Ama, I never noticed anything about Brit’s foot tapping either…
AM, I got my info about opening acts from the official BS site. I’m *officially* getting the shaft!
(Ciara’s working on new material? She just released a new album not long ago…She’s only on the second single??)
And here’s an article I thought was cute:

I don’t get the foot tapping stuff.
Johnny Wright’s name comes up again.
There are new pics of Brit in a pink bikini. I think that’s Brett with her. I had hoped she had disappeared. Wishful thinking.
August 16th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Okay, I’ve created a monster…
Every time I log onto Facebook now one of the three people I’m going to the concert with has posted in their status, “Only X more sleeps ’til Britney Spears!” And then everyone else makes comments underneath like, “I’m so jealous!”
And believe it or not, we’re NOT in our tweens…We’re all in our 30’s!!
This is the best marketing campaign for Britney I’ve ever seen. Larry, you should send me a cheque in the mail for always keeping her such a hot topic with everyone I know! lol
August 16th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Anyone see this?
http://new.music.yahoo.com/britney-spears/videos/view/circus-live-2009-world-tour–217268677
It’s in HD, and I’ve got a HD monitor and was watching it on Full Screen mode.
Is it just me, or does she look like she’s going to burst into tears at the beginning? By the end she’s smiling…Maybe relieved that the first number is over and done. I’m thinkin’ Brit might just have some pretty bad stage fright.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Good morning everyone.
St.Mag., I just watched the video link.
I’ve never seen any of Britney’s performances
from this tour close up. I think she looked very
pretty. I think, although the headdress may have
felt heavy and the ringmaster jacket was maybe
very hot for her to wear, that costume gave the
song and her an edge that I didn’t see in this
video. I wonder where in Europe this was filmed.
She’s smiling a lot throughout the song. Which is
fine. No problem there. But I don’t see any fire
in her eyes. Sparkle, yes. Ferocity. None.
She struts the stage but there’s no ‘tude there.
Not even pretend ‘tude. She does as well as she
can. I don’t want to sound like an old fart of
a critic. It was her first song of the show.
So I think the first song warmed her up.
Did that sound nice? I’ve been giving her crap
lately about how she shops and wears her hair.
I think this is all she has or maybe wants to
give at this time. I should either take it or
leave it. Besides, the fans that go there love
every single moment of the show. They all, and I
do mean all, describe the concert as amazing or
unreal. Maybe it is for them. If I would’ve gone
to the Circus I’d probably say the same about it.
I’ll never know though. Not this time around.
Have yourselves a great day. Chat with ya later.
(P.S.-St.Mag. You may like Kristinia DeBarge.
She sings Goodbye. I’ve been watching her youtube
vids and she sounds pretty good. And she’s singing
live all of the time. I’d say she’s one to watch.)
August 16th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
“You actually read about someone trying to make others think it is crazy? Did you read this some place major?”
AM
, and he answered her, could not hear what. But they laugh.
In FTR they showed Britney and her foot waving when she ws waiting for that sparkling background who they did not get right.
She was sitting beside Larry. They also “show=point out” that people around try to distract her, with “games” an d so on, becaouse she wanted the work been done.. She said something to Larry, like, “Fix it Larry”
In more then one video on the years, I have seen the videocamera point out her typical waiving with her foot.
(As we all know this behavior is common among people who are on some kind of “speed”, and I think that just that “they” try to glue on Britneys for people to always belive belive. Or that she have a sickness in her personality, , who make her do this waving.
For sure, it was never ment to be a homage…
Now I see that her mom do the same ..Britney have “inherit” more then this typical behavior from her mom Lynne. Mimik, and so on too. They are sure mother/daughter.
You maybe remember that the gossip press, and Jamie Spears of course, wanted to point out that Britney mayby had “inherit” (?) some vulnerableness from Jamie Spears side of the family?
”””””’
You look at the law papers and try to get informed about what not been told.
I look at videos, listen to conversation, look at behavior, to find whats true or not.
Because I cant stand only looking at the direction that “they” want everybody too look.

I can´t see Britney having any problem in those pics.
She don´t SMILE, is that the problem?
It was a love-comedy-movie?
And again, this is not a comment who is meant to offend anybody. I just ask. Because I dont understand this “poor thing”.

She is chewing a bubble gum.
No more drama then so.
August 16th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Maybe I overreacted, Ama.
To me something seemed a little off.
A smile doesn’t always equal happy. I know that.
But a couple of the pics looked a bit odd to me.
Gum chewing. I didn’t notice that. Hmm.
I hope all is good. Thanks, Ama.

I just think she turn around the bubble gum and think: “Shit, of course it have to be someone with a camera here too… flip flop, not stylish dressed, hair not done, ohh, they will make a big cake of this…”

Why do all talk about that ring as it was something new?
(At least the little innocent child JM should know better, he for sure know she have had this ring for a long time)
I think I have seen it now and then about one year or more. She use it when she want..
Dont think its a engagement ring at all.
”””””””””””””””
(Steel_, I could not look at that video , because it was impossible to speed over PerezHilton, and I cant stand to listen or seeing him, “queen” or not…
)
So sad they have him at the beginning of the show, but I do understand why they feel forced to involve him…
August 16th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Ama. I did a grin and bear it over Perez. I was not thinking the nicest things to Steel.
Thanks, SM. Great. Do I have to watch this again? Then I was glad because I had never seen the concert so close due to the bigger screen.
Thank you, Steel! All is forgiven.
Ama. Did you read the Ottawa article? Any input? How did you feel to read it I wonder? I was happy to hear someone question and tell it like it is.
As a sidenote, some of the fan boards have the link with me encouraging them to just take it. They have so far shown no interest in running a link or story to the article and it makes me wonder why.
Too much drama? Only want to hear good news? Don’t have the stomach and love for her to deal with reality in her life? I would appreciate from anyone in trying to understand this small phenomena. Too long of an article for most to sit through while someone like me avidly read near every word?
I have been unsuccessful so far in finding the author for the London (Sunday) Times article. I wonder that he would do a follow up.
Steel. I can’t wait for your review. Some of us hope you won’t come saying Amazing as your first word. Ack. A convert.

AM
I have read the Ottawa articele now.
Fans, and Britney fans too, seems to act like the people who took the best place to see the public executing in the Middle Ages – last century (and sad to say nowadays too, in some countries)
Sometimes one real wonder if people just are stupid or stupid /cruel or “sleeping” psychopaths.
They dont care, the most important for them is to been able to have an entertainment?
Look at JM, earlier a pure Britney fan, now almost her enemy. He´s pendling from “sort of like” to his lust to being plane mean. He publish lies, lies he know is lies.
What have Britney, (or Adnan done to him?)
Nothing.
Its Jamie Spears he have “trouble” with. And JM have not been honest about who he have and are “sleeping” with.
There are common good people among the paparazzi too, but who do we hear on the videos? Mostly the stupid ones comments.
In a documentary I heard a long time working paparazzi told that NO ONE among the paparazzi which something good for an other papz. They dont want them to have success, they try to destroy pics for each other.Flashing those lights, and more uglier things.
Nice work to have to stay in
People have ruff times now. It was hard before, , now its worse.
They all, people who read and look, and people who make money of it, dont care about Britney Spears and what happend to her.
They think she live a heavenly life, just because she is rich. People still believe rich is the same as happiness for ever.
So deep inside they envies her and sort of hate.
*******************
What do you say about the video “Lynne /foot”?
What do you say about the video about the sound “Circus tour”?
Why do you think people believe Britney is crying (or almost crying) as soon she not smiling or laughing?
Do you think people is in need of a smiling puppet?
Or are they in need for a crying Britney Spears?
August 17th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Ama. I think people care or they at least have an interest — like why is Britney crying?
They are also interested in any emotion she shows because she’s been doll-like since going on tour.
Ultimately near any show of emotion seems “newsworthy” or something to talk about.
The fans who don’t want to see the c-ship would prefer a smile in my opinion. They can rationalize everything from there and be the “winners” that they once were, i.e., Britney’s making more money, Britney sells more records than so and so, our girl’s back on top bow to the queen.
Don’t I too look for signs that Britney is at least having fun or is happy? Wouldn’t I rest easier or be happy for her? Wouldn’t I stop writing a column?
I am not as new as I was to “fan culture” but it’s easy to see from the blogs that there are different kinds of fans with different expectations and needs. But weren’t all of us upset to see Britney cry at the airport? I know I was. I think you were. I don’t remember anyone needing her to smile but rather to take private jets in the future. No one wanted to see her subject to a crush and be hurt or upset.
They are a little weirder though when it comes to the tour. I think they do want her to smile, seem happy, love her fans. I modified my little article on the Ottawa piece to say that “some fans” are disappointed by the lack of connection. I still included Chiarello’s quote but I think the way I quote it now is more fair to the rest of the fans? The show was amazing, awesome etc. fans.
Back to foot waving, I am a confessed foot waver. I am just not hearing the feedback that you are re Britney otherwise I might take more of an interest or place or side. I can’t remember anyone commenting to me about foot waving.
And outside of you I haven’t heard anyone comment on Britney’s foot waving. If I recall the scene was simply her hating to wait around. I don’t blame her.
August 17th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
QB. I think this is all for you. http://wp.me/Px8ZX-7J
Who else could enjoy such lengthy reading?
Anyway, there’s your validation on what Lutfi has to prove and what he has proved already.
It is also nice to see the judge’s comments in context.
He’s not saying “Lynne has a wreckless disregard for the truth!” He’s saying like a math ratio that if these things (declarations etc.) are true then a b = c and Lutfi has a case for libel and defamation.
These are the docs only. It’s not in my heart to write this story and it’s holding me back. So there you have it. Court docs with a short intro.
August 17th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Correction. My “plus” sign disappeared. If a plus b = c
August 18th, 2009 at 12:28 am
Okay, so I’ve had a couple of pina coladas. My inhibitions are low, so I’m just gonna come out with it…
Two questions…
1/ Why all these photos of Brit in different bikinis at the Ritz Carlton? Doesn’t she have a swimming pool in her own backyard? What is this, PR for the upcoming tour, or what?
and
B/ Why have I not seen a single solitary photo of her engaging Sean P? Poor little kid is going to have one hell of a complex when he grows up.
*sigh*
Well, I know what the response to this is gonna be, so we might as well all save ourselves the trouble. I KNOW. It’s okay. I already **KNOW.**
August 18th, 2009 at 12:49 am
To the contrary. I’ve been “dyin’” to know why Lynne is in town, Britney in bikinis — two and latest rumor is a third in purple — new blond kids ala shaving … and …
what the hell is this?
Work of some kind. I **KNOW** already but WTF?
How many days has she been there anyway in Marina del Ray? What’s with the sucker? That was an image gone wrong.
Where’s Lynne?
Who is that weird looking younger-Jamie-redhead look alike? Was Trawick’s head cropped in one photo or just another guy graying and going bald?
I’ve got nothing against balding men, but WTF is this publicity stunt?
(alibi: Stella Artois.)
August 18th, 2009 at 2:32 am
Y’all, I asked the same question too.
The answer is yes, Britney does have a pool at
her home in Calabasas. I don’t know why she’s at
that hotel. But, if I had to guess I’d say the
swimsuits could be made by Candies. Just a guess.
St.Mag., on a certain fan site there is a photo of
SP picking a flower for his mommy. He hands it to
her and she kisses him. It’s very sweet. But,yeah,
JJ is almost always on her hip. Can’t really tell
you why that is either. I could speculate though.
Am, I swear I thought I saw Trawicks head/face
in the lower right side corner of one of the
swimsuit pics. Now, I can’t remember if it was
the photo sets of Britney in the pink or light
blue bikini. The new pics of her in the purple
bikini (which I think looks best on her) are up
on RadarOnline.
It would be nice to know if Lynne is still in
town or not. Bryan lives out in that neck of the
woods (L.A.) so maybe she visited him and his
wife too. JFX is the only place I saw the pics of
Lynne. In the pics she was sort of on the sideline
as if she were a crew member or an extra. I did
not see any pics/vids of Lynne with Britney. I’m
not saying that they didn’t spend time together.
I’m just saying that the pics I saw didn’t show
any interaction between the two that day. I did
see that Larry was there in a vid on another site.
Okay. TTYL, guys. Bye.

*smacks forehead*
Candies…Yep. Makes sense. I know that black bag she’s been carrying around at the pool is Candies because I almost bought it myself a few months back. And I bet the bikinis are, too.
I just found a cute photo of Brit touching Sean P’s forehead over on BSB. That’s kind of a relief. My heart just breaks for the little guy every time I see a set of photos, because I honestly can’t think of a photo since the divorce where she’s even looked at him. But photos don’t always tell the whole picture, so…
Yeah…
August 18th, 2009 at 10:54 am
AM-
Thanks for posting the actual court documents. It is always good to get the story straight from the source. Lutfi’s attorney was trying to spin the story as some kind of major victory for him and a major loss for Lynne which it was not.
All the judge was saying was if what Lutfi says is true, he has a case, but it will ultimately be up to a jury to decide who is telling the truth and who is lying. It is entirely possible that Lynne’s attorney knew he would lose this motion but needed to raise this issue anyway to have a record for a possible appeal. Attorneys do it all the time.
I will never understand why a woman who has a beautiful home choses to spend time at hotels even when she is not traveling. I guess it is because I’m not rich like Brit. Is it a photo op? Who knows, but I think I would enjoy the privacy that would come from being at home as opposed to a public place.
August 18th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
It would be nice to see her with a friend.
You’re welcome Steel on the docs. Rough reading, huh.
I think all that Lynne loss was the triumph of getting dismissed based on freedom of speech and Sam being libel proof.
His reputation may be bad, but not so bad he can’t claim libel and defamation?
August 18th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Anyone excited about Letterman? Script please.
Meanwhile, I think the hotel thing is kind of disturbing. What if her only option as a job was to go to the hotel? Lot’s of things to do with kids in L.A. Could TMZ have been right that her dad doesn’t let her go out and do things with the kids during the day? ohboy, let’s go swimming at a hotel, expose my kids. What if she was told to do that to promote ticket sales? Three days in a bikini Candies or otherwise is off.

And what have we talk about this whole time? Britney have a choice?
I dont think its her personal choice to stay around the hotel pool.
I think she is happy to be with her kids, and thats is enough for her for now.
Or maby LouLou is in da house?
I would run out to then, if I was Britney: She must save Preston from that strange obsessed women.
August 18th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
LOL Ama. LouLou. I wish I knew if Britney was at the hotel by her idea, her choice.
Two interesting photos:

August 18th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Correction: I wish I knew if Britney was at the hotel by Britney’s choice.
Ama, you are thinking Calabasas is not where Britney wanted to be due to who is there? Must be some reason.
Clearly though in those pics Britney does not have the usual help.

Oh…hi everyone
August 18th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
QB. Sorry. I addressed you as Steel earlier. I didn’t see QB or I was blending two emails together. Whanh! Did you have “fun” with the documents?
Please tell me you did on some level. I looked at those pages five or six times just to be sure I was clear headed by the end.
Sure read a little different than City News Service, would you agree?
August 19th, 2009 at 12:11 am
AM-
I always enjoy reading court documents. I do not want read what the court said or ruled, I want to know for myself what the judge said. Litigation in many ways is a game and the ones who know how to play the game best win.
I just read the People article about the Letterman appearance, for some reason I thought she would actually be in the studio but her bit seemed to be pre-recorded. I’m still waiting for a live sit down interview with no preconditions.
August 19th, 2009 at 8:55 am

“…people close to the couple,” have divulged information on the couple to abcnews.com…
Yet they can’t even get it right that he’s her agent, not her manager?
Sloppy!
August 19th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I didn’t realize it was a 3-page article…
It won’t let me copy and paste (?) but there’s a HILARIOUS quote on page 2 about how Britney gives Kevin so much money because she wants to. LOL
August 19th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I laughed hard on that one, Steel!
Very hard.
August 19th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
The author begins to make sense but ABC News?
http://www.jossip.com/in-touch-fires-west-coast-chief-david-thompson-20080515/
What is ABC News’ direction?
Meanwhile QB says, “Litigation in many ways is a game and the ones who know how to play the game best win.”
Thank you for saying that. And I knew you would enjoy seeing the originals.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Steel—I don’t like when she does Letterman appearances. So I skipped it.
AM–what was the point of that article. They aren’t dating, but they are friends with beneifits?
Steel–the money she gives to Kevin part was a LOL moment.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Especially because she has no control on how much money to give him. Her father does. I guess they forgot about the c-ship too.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Since everyone is commenting on Brit and Jason alleged relationship, I’ll add my two cents. I thought it was funny how People said that the two are keeping their relationship “casual” and at that her family like him. Of course her family approves. As a result of the conservatorship, Jamie has the legal authority to restrict her visitors so if her father did not approve, there would certainly be no relationship.
Sometimes members of the media forget that Brit is still under conservatorship. She has no control over her money aside from her weekly allowance and no control over who she is allowed to see.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:33 am
I know QB. It annoys me to no end. She has no control over anything, so the way everything is written just implies that she does. Irritating.
August 20th, 2009 at 6:40 am
For everyday that goes, when Britney dont have possibility to give out a video with “Unusual You”..the absence of the video screaming higher and higher.
She dont even sing it on the Circus tour?
Wonder if she is forbidden to do it, or if she, herself, refuse to sing it as long as she is under c-ship?
Dont touch it, sort of, its mine, it’s special?

SM. ohmy. TMZ was pretty pointed.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Steel. Is tonight the night?
August 21st, 2009 at 1:23 am
Slow night?
So BH is reporting exclusively that Jason and Britney are NOT dating. The are close friends with good intentions.
We knew that already.
Good Night everyone

I mean “he is a close friend with good intentions”.

http://www.thespec.com/News/BreakingNews/article/621963
The Hamilton Spectator she wondered about and whether they would do a story.
small — JM seems to know for sure but who knows? We’ve “known” for sure a while but who really knows?
August 21st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I’m thinking it’s time to write a short opinion piece on the column and maybe quote some BH’ers and confess myself that I have been on BH or checked into BH for near every concert this year.
The Spectator piece seems a little harsh and without balance. I’m glad they shed light on the c-ship but where are details like new costumes? Or how stunning she looked?
LOL. A confession piece might be in order. Doesn’t matter if anyone reads it but if someone from the outside world sees it they might realize there’s an unspoken for world out here. The most I have seen has been, “But the fans didn’t seem to mind.”
Interesting article but I wish there might have been more balance. I think it would be fine to quote various sites this time including this one if Steel writes a review.
August 21st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Hello everyone.
Amethyst, I think an opinion piece is a good idea.
So, St.Mag., did you attend last night’s show or
is tonight your night to go? Just wondering.
Last night Britney dedicated her song Everytime to
her dad, Jamie. I thought that was nice of her.
That woman who trespassed on her property was
given probation, a fine, & told to stay away,etc.
There’s really bad weather where I am. I heard
that there was a tornado watch in Hamilton last
night too. Have a good time at the show, St. Mag.
Be careful if there’s bad weather where you are.
TTYL! Bye.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Maybe Steel really did wear the TA shirt and her sister or friend the Trawick shirt?
Steel? Did you make it into the concert?
August 21st, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Whew, that was some crazy weather last night!
I’m just getting in from a long road trip…
So what’s new?
August 21st, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Okay, to start, that was definitely the most FUN I’ve ever had at a concert. It was over in a flash, and I didn’t want it to end. My sister and friends felt the same way – everyone had huge grins on their faces afterwards. It’s definitely a “feel good” show to watch.
It probably helped that I had great seats. I was right at eye-level, and close enough to see the expression on Brit’s face. As in, close enough that I could pitch my camera at her and she could catch it. And, the video was back, so whenever she turned away from us we could look up at the big screens and watch her, and that was very cool.
She doesn’t really look “tiny” in person like I expected her to – just average. But she does look to be in great shape – very muscular from the front. And her face is BEAUTIFUL. I was really struck by it when she sang Everytime. It was maybe the only time during the show where she sat still, and the cameras got in close on her. And it really was breathtaking to see how pretty she is in person.
Okay…More in a bit…I’ll break this into AM-style chunks.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Some drawbacks…Skip this if you don’t want to hear any negative stuff…
I don’t think she sang a single word live. But, there was so much going on that it didn’t really seem to matter. Honestly. It was all just very entertaining, whether she was singing or not. Hard to believe, I know, but it’s true. Jamie King did an EXCELLENT job at putting that show together.
What would’ve been nice, though, would be a bit more interaction with the audience. Even a few more “whoo’s!” would’ve made a difference. But there was barely anything. She spoke a few words before Everytime (dedicating the song to her “Daddy,” which sounded very genuine and sweet) and gave us a “What’s up, Hamilton?” during Do Somethin’ – and that’s it. She didn’t even say goodbye to the audience, which almost seemed rude in a way.
She also looked darn right pissed off to be there during the first two songs. She had the fake smile plastered on her face, and was being professional, but she did NOT look happy to be performing. (But it could be that she was just tired – she didn’t have much make-up on, and looked like she hadn’t slept much the night before. It was also VERY muggy inside, and she might have felt sick having to wear the top hat and ringleader jacket.) By the third song she had loosened up a lot, and by Me Against the Music she was right into it and looked happy. Her goofy faces are back, and that’s great, because her personality really seemed to shine through by mid-concert. By halfway through, she genuinely seemed happy to be up there and seemed like she was having a great time.
And another bad thing…The weave…If you think it looks bad in photos, you should see it in person! It’s dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. When she took off her top hat during the first song, her hair was full of static, and all of her natural hair stood on end while the fake hair stayed in place. And it looks like her real hair isn’t even to her shoulders. I wished so much she’d just take out the extensions and wear it natural. It would look so much better! But I guess it might be harder for the audience to find her on stage if it was short, and she uses the long hair a lot as a “prop” when she dances, so the weave is there to stay.
More to come…In a bit…
August 21st, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Wow. Very exciting and probably the most interesting review I have read. Full of DETAIL and written so well I could see it, feel it even in the static of the hair.
Thanks for much feel and feel free to “chunk” anytime. LOL it is hilarious that in the last hour I was at school and learning to “chunk” in a blog. Use a “jump” (oh is that why they use those)or spread out the story in a series.
I am anxiously waiting to hear more of your experience and review, Steel but right now I am very happy. I feel like I can finally believe someone who knows the difference between her professional and genuine happy smile.
I for one ain’t gonna say anything about Daddy but I am sure it would sound good to a judge. Who knows. I don’t. I just want to be happy and enjoy the moment through Steel.

You have so to speak a distinct brand. Thanks for sharing your vids.
Why are vids of Touch of My Hand and company often so late in coming btw? It’s rarely the first one out. Do people become mesmerized and drop their cams to enjoy a moment for themselves?
August 21st, 2009 at 11:23 pm
LOL, I think you’re giving me too much credit.
But yeah, they’re my vids. They were shot on that Panasonic Lumix camera I was telling Gigi about a while back. My still photos didn’t turn out very well, but it takes nice video. It actually looks better on Facebook – YouTube tends to degrade the quality quite a bit.

So…. what did you think?
Fantasy. You’ve been way too quiet. Surely you have read Steel’s review and I believe you encouraged her early on?
Steel. You know, really brilliant. Um, and still no comment on Touch of My Hand and Breathe… hmmm…
What goes on in the audience at such a moment?
Good night everyone. hmmmm lol.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
You know what’s funny?
I’ve always said that “Me Against The Music” was the worst damn song and video that either Madonna or Britney ever put out. I’ve always just hated it.
But seeing it live, “Me Against The Music” was one of my favourite numbers! It was different from all the rest, it had so much energy and amazing costumes and unique choreography…It was just great to watch.
As for “Touch of My Hand,” it was probably my second favourite. In person, it’s breathtaking to see the Brit and the dancers spinning in the air like that. I knew it was coming, but it was still unexpected in a way, and it really did have impact. I know it’s a naughty song, but I doubt most of the kids in the audience really “got” the meaning of it, so it didn’t seem that bad. And I know the costumes seemed skimpy, but ALL the dancers were dressed that way, so Brit didn’t stick out at all.
I think it helped that the “Big Apple Circus” started off the show. The performers in that were just AMAZING. There was one part where a woman with no legs was wheeled out in a wheelchair, and a man pulled her up on a trampoline, and then the two of them did an entire acrobatics routine. Everyone’s jaws dropped, and it made me a little misty – it was really, really inspiring. And the rest of the performers were so talented at whatever they were doing that it really set the mood.
So by the time Brit descended from the ceiling…I think everyone knew what she’d been through over the past two years, and knew how far she’d come and…It was really inspiring to see HER up there. It was like the lady in the wheelchair – that woman could’ve surrendered and lived her life knowing, “I have no legs.” But she didn’t. She overcame, and then some. And there was Brit, standing there kind of “naked” for all to see (emotionally naked, if that makes sense) and the crowd just loved her for it all the more.
And THAT’s why it didn’t matter that she was lipsynching. She was there, alive, in person, and she was giving it her all (or all she had to give) and that was all anyone wanted.
Mind you, by the end of the second song, when she still had that frown on her face (with the simultaneous smile), I started to get leery. I turned to my sister and said, “She does NOT look happy to be here.” And I was starting to feel cheated and guilty at the same time…
But by the third song she started to loosen up, and from then on in I didn’t feel bad anymore.
Here’s another vid. They’re taking a long time to upload:

I am glad you had fun. So where does this rank compared to the other tours you have attended…the woman tours you have mentioned in the past?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well…
I think I’d put this concert into a different category. I don’t think it fits into the same category as Tina Turner or Madonna or Shania Twain or Dixie Chicks (who don’t really seem to fit in this category either…but the Chicks had one of the WILDEST concerts I’ve ever been to in terms of crazy fans, and they were amazing musicians, and they had the place rockin’ in the same way Tina did.)
Anyways, I think I’d put Brit’s concert into the same category as Criss Angel’s new show at the Luxor (which had magic, but also had choreography by Wade Robson, as well as a bunch of Cirque du Soleil numbers). Because her show was very much the same – all smoke and mirrors! It was literally one big illusion. But it was a fun illusion to watch. Definitely worth the money. But to call it a “concert” is kind of laughable. “The Circus” really is a great name for it, because it was more like a circus act or a play than anything.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 am
I forgot that I’d been to see Janet Jackson, too, and Brit’s concert was probably closest to Janet’s in terms of the music, choreography, costumes, sets, etc.
Even though the same guy who directed Brit’s tour also did Madonna’s latest, the two didn’t really seem alike. Madonna takes herself seriously (too seriously!) and really goes out of her way to sing the entire time – even if she’s hitting sour notes! So while Madonna concentrated on her performance (singing and dancing at the same time), she almost lost me a bit because she was trying TOO hard. She was TOO much of a perfectionist. On the other hand, with Brit’s concert, they just didn’t even try to do the singing and dancing thing at once. So the singing went out the window, and it was all about the “fun.” And it worked. Strangely, it worked.

Thanks Steel! I’ll watch the newer videos later tonight.
I didn’t know you had seen the Dixie Chicks in concert! That’s awesome. You’re right Brit’s concert is different when you compare her to the other acts.
AM–the concert looks ok. I think I have high expectations with choroegraphy.
Steel—the dancers were wearing masks in one of the videos you posted—they reminded of the Mexican wrestlers LMAO.
Thanks for all the videos and your personal review. I value your review much more than someone elses because I know you will be honest about the good and the bad.

St. Mag., your review and videos are both awesome!
I knew you’d have a great time. She looked really
pretty in the white dress singing Everytime. Me
Against The Music and Radar are my favs on this
tour. So how were the opening acts? Who were they?
Did you spot Brett, Jamie, or Larry? Or maybe Fe?
I loved your honesty about everything. Thanks you
again for your review. Really cool. k+
TTYL
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:37 pm
The opening acts were supposed to be One Call, Kristinia DeBarge and Girlicious. Kristinia came out for a song and a half, and that was it – I didn’t even get a chance to get a photo of her! She sounded great, and was rockin’ some wicked black leather pants. (Doc would’ve loved it, I’m sure.)
I’m pretty positive One Call didn’t even appear (unless they came out for a song while I went to get a beer), and Girlicious…were actually a lot better than I thought they’d be. They sounded great, and could dance really well. They were rockin’ some pretty horrendous outfits, but other than that they were pretty good. You could tell they’d practiced a lot.
I was watching for Larry, Brett, etc., but didn’t see any of them (except maybe the back of Brett’s head when Brit ran offstage).
Radar…I’d originally thought Brit was making “time-out” signals during her “smoke out” in Vancouver. But it turns out that’s actually part of the choreography! I found it pretty annoying, to be honest. I wasn’t a fan of the choreography for If U Seek Amy, either. Too weird and jerky. (Wade Robson, where are you?!) But all of the songs were fun. And Radar was still one of my favourite numbers.
Okay, okay…AM, here you go. It finally stopped processing:

AM, the sideways tilt…Was because my camera won’t let me zoom in or out once I start recording. I had it zoomed all the way in, but wasn’t expecting Brit to suddenly be standing in a big picture frame that close to me. So I went for the sideways tilt so I didn’t cut off any body parts. lol
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:19 pm
wow – that is quite amazing. The film is so clear. Did you have a “lavier” mic? Lol. I don’t even know what that is yet. It can wait.
Thanks for the video. This is really quite extraordinary.
small — if the vid lags just let it play through once and then it plays without stalling.
That was amazing Steel thank you and I don’t know that I had seen the curtains fall at the end before?
I wonder if the new shag and head shakes help to avoid any more hair pulling.
I too was wondering about the warm-up bands. Steel your eye for choreography is amazing. You noticed something I didn’t and then you saw it in person and pieced that together as well. I don’t even remember what we were looking at as signals before. I just remember she didn’t look very happy and then she turned on the smile.
Wow. She really was close to you.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Yeah, the show looks a lot different when you can actually see all the transitions between songs. She did a lot of costume changes, and there was a video or performers of some kind during each costume change.
Here’s another video, though not the greatest. She looked like she was having the most fun during this number. She was wearing glasses that made her look the same as in her “Crazy” video:

Here’s the last one. Very short:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOegvcUepFI
“…Baby One More Time”
I didn’t film the first song or last one. It all went so fast, so I managed to get a few pics and that was it. Womanizer went especially fast – my sister and I were trying to get a photo of us with Brit in the background, and by the time we got one the fireworks had started and it was over.
Then, as she ran off, all these gold, red and white metallic confetti things shot out. They were EVERYWHERE. I literally couldn’t even see Brit run off because the air was so thick with them. It probably didn’t help that Copps is so small – it got the same volume of confetti as a regular arena, but it was packed into a small space and was almost like a fog. Very cool effect. But almost as soon as the confetti started, Brit ran off – no goodbye or anything! I watched some other videos, and she was saying “goodbye” to the crowd, but she was either mouthing the words or her mic was turned off (go figure!). So it left me with this feeling of wanting more. Kinda like, “This is it?! This is really it?!! No way!! REALLY?!!”
But overall I’d give the experience a…
K
Lots of fun!
August 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
Sorry, that was supposed to be a “K Plus.”
Fantasy will know what that means.
August 23rd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Gotcha, St. Mag. I get it.
But does anyone get this? (Hope the link works.)
http://toxicthrill.com/expose/viewthread.php?tid=33605&page=1
Are all of those supposed to be Roman Numerals?
J, X, III, V. Like, J, 10, 3, 5.
Any guesses? Just curious about it.
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Fantasy, I’m glad someone got a clear shot of that. I’ve been scouring my pics, trying to find a good one, but didn’t have any luck.
When it was up on the big screens the “J” was really clear, but I couldn’t make out what the other initials said.
But now we know. Good find!
I’m still thinking about what it means…
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:13 pm
My goodness, if she dedicated Everytime to her “Daddy,” and then sent a message to someone on her chest just to go around him…
I’ll give her points for being a cunning little beyotch! LOL
August 23rd, 2009 at 3:44 pm
10 – J
3 – C
5 – E
Jamie’s conservatorship ends?
August 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm
So, St. Mag. You did see that written across her
chest at the concert from Friday? So no photoshop
or anything like that. Interesting stuff.
You know, Britney has this “Come find me in NYC
and win free tickets to my concert” contest going
on right now. So maybe she was just giving fans
some kind of clue of as to where to find her.
Who knows? Time will tell, I suppose.
I did some looking online today. I don’t wanna go
into detail. I’ll just ask if the “J” really is
a “J” or not. BTW, in some parts of the world
the date is read from right-to-left.
TTYL!
August 23rd, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Yes, it was definitely written on her chest. I saw it with my own eyes – in the flesh this time!
Watch for it in the vids in the first few songs…Piece of Me and If U Seek Amy, maybe?
We’ll have to wait and see, but I highly doubt the message has to do with her NYC concert tickets. Why would she leave a message on her chest last Thursday for a bunch of Canadian fans, of all people? Why not write it in LA, for all the paps to see?
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Hmmm. I guess it may not be a “J” if it was written in a certain alphabet…
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Sorry, I forgot to mention it here. I left it in a post on BH the night of the concert, but didn’t have a chance to write anything about the concert here until I got home the next afternoon. (The concert was a bit of a road trip for me…)
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Last Thursday. Oops. That’s what I meant.
You know, I feel so desperate sometimes when I
read so much into what Britney does or may wear.
I do that only because (no, not boredom) she does
not speak. At least not very much publicly where
what she says doesn’t sound scripted or rushed.
I search for meaning to tons of things because I
feel there’s no other option for me or other fans.
I’m going to watch your vids again, St. Mag.
Did it look like a sharpy marker pen that was used
to write whatever it is that was on her chest?
Funny and clever indeed. A secret message that was
hidden underneath her ringleader jacket. Classic!
Good luck, Adnan! I wish you the best.
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:17 pm
I just watched the vids and you can only see split second shots of it. It’s a bit clearer in some of my pics, but not much – it was the first thing I looked for when I got home from the concert. When I tried to look it up on-line, all I could find was other fans guessing that it said “Jess,” and that sounded right to me because that’s what it looked like from where I was sitting.
I just forgot all about it by the time I made it all the way home the next day and started posting my vids and pics. I’m glad you brought it up!
I didn’t think it looked like a Sharpie – that would be a bit too thick. But maybe a black grease pencil??
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Eye liner pencil?
I’m running out of guesses.
lol
August 23rd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Yep, eye liner works.
I just opened up my Quicktime .mov file from my camera, and it’s definitely visible in “Piece of Me” when I look at the video frame by frame.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
I agree. I don’t think it’s for the find me in NYC gig.
It doesn’t seem to mesh with the Twitter promotion.
Dallas Austin was doing a similar find whatever in his own tweets some time ago. I think he too was doing it with a radio station.
I hadn’t thought about her hitting the stage as normal with last minute inspection while possibly hiding the signage under her jacket.

August 24th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Myeah, Brit was with the tickets in Times Square at the M&M’s store.
I’m thinkin’ that message on her chest was NOT a clue. I repeat, NOT a clue!
August 24th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
This whole court thing is quite a long process…
I hope you’re doing okay, Adnan.
August 24th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I hope Adnan’s doing okay too. Stay strong.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I was thinking the same, Steel as to ruling out find me in NY.
Still in the mood for vintage MT. What’s there to say really though. Alot MT I know, alot.
Meanwhile don’t expect anything too dramatic for September 29. It could easily drag on depending on schedules etc. It could be pre-trial conference or setting a trial date. QB can confirm I think.
August 25th, 2009 at 1:08 am
QB. Just dashing in here but got to thinking if the woman I talked to had it a little wrong. How there be more pre-trial at this date? Thank you.

‘Britney Spears’ ex-manager sues Christian publisher:
libel, defamation charges threaten the religious’
August 25th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
AM
Thanks for the link, but this..:
“Lynne Spears – both in the book and her declaration (first submitted in Feb. 2008 to secure a restraining order against Lutfi from Britney) submitted herewith – asserts that Lutfi and Ghalib said and did certain things which Lutfi and Ghalib deny doing. ”
“http://fairnewsspears.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/britney-spears%e2%80%99-ex-manager-adds-book-publisher-to-libel-and-defamation-claims/#more-519″
??????????????????????????????????????????
This is NOT what Adnan said as I remember? What do you say?
Adnan was not there under the hours in that special night/day Lynne talk about. Adnan left. Remember?. Lynne said so, so Adnan cant know what Lynne and Sam said to each other later that night.
Filipe was not there either, later that night.
About making cocktails of medicine..that was for sure something Lutfi start “in the end”, and I dont think Sam Lutfi, showed anyone what he was doing, knowing it was BAD to do, very BAD. And dangerous to do, playing with drugs, subdue them on Britney, not have a profession to do so.
Time for Lynne Spears to step forward and defend Adnans reputation!
To tell the truth of her request for Adnan to do the interviuws, as a a real Christian
who listen to her conscience should do.

My favourite comment over at BH on this so far:
“LOL I know this is totally fake but if it were true
Britney being in love with a guy who is “facing felony hit-and-run charges after allegedly hitting process server with his car in an attempt to avoid being served restraining order papers earlier this year.”
is kind of a sexy idea.

That was me. I kept writing long posts one night and they kept disappearing.
I thought maybe it was a sign that I shouldn’t be so long-winded! lol
August 25th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
I thought and wondered about the same thing re BH and also the sexy comment.
Ama. That statement came from the judge. It’s probably the English combined with legal jargon. I copied it verbatim and the documents are at the end of the story.
The judge did NOT try to cipher who was telling the truth at this point. That wasn’t his job.
If someone wrote statements about you that you believe were incorrect and damaging .. that’s pretty much all the judge had to learn for sure to know whether to dump the case or carry on to trial. Lutfi proved he had enough of a case by meeting the criteria of law to go forward.
I appreciate feedback and if I incorrectly report something I will correct it.
Now back to romance, sex and danger.
August 25th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
[Ama? If it makes you feel any better I have a lingering question about why Lynne is being "protected" by the media. Is she not of public interest? Does she lead a boring life these days? Is she not still a public image and a superstar's daughter? I willing chose to do the opposite of a strawberry. I'm MT's huckleberry.]
ok, now back to romance, sex and danger.

Two questions…
1) Has Harvey always been so…buff?
b) Does he remind anyone else of Steve Guttenberg?
and
3) So WHAT if Britney wants to blow some extra dough on shopping?! It’s not like she hasn’t earned it! And giving her those extra freedoms (e.g. shopping on her own, driving once in a while, letting her hang with Lindsay Lohan a bit…Eek!) sure seems to be upping her energy level during her performances…So is it really a big deal?? Geez…
August 26th, 2009 at 12:50 am
Harvey sounded like he’d been talking to “The Conservators” personally…
That part was interesting.
August 26th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Oh, Perez…

Hmmm.

I don’t forgive him and I appreciate being reminded as to why.
Didn’t see the TMZ spiel. Did I miss anything?
Reading Steel’s questions I don’t think so. Were the remarks said mean spirited Steel?
Without having seen the show I think Daddy gave her a shopping spree. What a great parent and so weird at this stage in her life. That’s what they seem to be down to. Good daddy bad girl.
sick.
August 26th, 2009 at 1:20 am
lol goodnight!
August 26th, 2009 at 1:44 am
Nope, they weren’t said in a mean spirited way.
Harvey was talking about how The Conservators have been giving her a bit of freedom as a tester of sorts, and that she’d been sliding a bit by going on wild shopping sprees. He said that everyone was using it as a barometer as to how she might do on her own…That they don’t want to release her into the wild cold turkey…That they want to do it bit by bit so that she’ll stabilize nicely on her own…Or something to that effect.
The way Harvey said it, it just sounded like he’d been on the phone with Jamie (or someone close to the situation) personally. It wasn’t a bad report really. Just nitpicking, if you ask me.
August 26th, 2009 at 1:58 am
So who is Jordan talking to when he says “I know for a fact that Britney and Jason are not dating”…who is his source?
I bet it did kill him to say the bit about Britney should be able to love who she wants…
I’m not sure I’m believing any of the stories. But, I will always believe Britney’s feelings for Adnan were/are genuine. And vice versa.
Steel..that’s good that Adnan is getting positive comments at PH site. I don’t like Perez.

“well the satellite comes and goes
we give each other all we know
in silence we still talk
by the light of the stereo waltz
and you will rain down
in your cinematic love truck
i want to hold you like nothing’s going stop us
she come to take me away
it’s all that i needed
i don’t breathe another lover
flicker on a TV screen
everything’s more than it seems
the mighty backward fall
stare at the lights on the wall
i swear to this
she felt like velvet
second blond child she ment it
she comes to take me away
its all that i needed
i don’t breathe another lover
i’m an alien
you’re an alien
it’s a beautiful rain
beautiful rain
beautiful rain”

MT, Have you decoded the message on her chest?
August 26th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Hello Everyone,
I am still here, just sitting back and reading everything. So the latest news is that Brit is still in love with Adnan-no surprise there. She did not end the relationship her father did.
I guess the TMZ story is making some news. TMZ has been literally wrong so many times, I really do not trust anything they say unless it is a court document that I can see for myself.
Assuming Harvey Levin is telling the truth and the conservators are giving Brit a little more freedom and she has not used it wisely i.e., shopping sprees, one could argue that the conservators are inadvertently setting up to fail because if you take someone who has had their freedom restricted significantly and then give them some of their freedom back, of course they are going to go a little crazy at least initially.
The problem that I see is that part of being an adult is the ability or power to make your own decisions and deal with the consequences. I understand why the conservators are concerned about Brit but ultimately she on her own has to find a way to make good decisions. She can’t stay under a conservatorship forever.
I’m sure Brit enjoys her expanded visitation and she must know that she would lose that if she back slides so that should be enough incentive to stay on the right path and if it is not, she will lose her precious boys again.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:01 am

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I wouldn’t be shocked if she lost visitation/custody with them several more times over the next few years. How could she possibly learn how to be a “responsible adult” under the situation she’s currently in? I’m on the outside looking in, but from where I’m sitting I can’t see how she could be learning very much about being an “adult” with so many restrictions on her over the past year and a half.
I hope everyone keeps their expectations low. She’s bound to make many more mistakes before this is all said and done.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Steel-
You are totally right. It is unfortunate paradox that Brit gets more time with her kids while under a conservatorship than without because the conservatorship acts as a safety net.
I feel like Brit lives in alterante universe. Her life, even for a big celebrity, is totally unreal: the crush of the paparazzi every time she steps out in public, the endless media attention and constant questions concerning her parenting and mental stability are enough to make anyone go off the deep end. It makes sense why people like Johhny Depp live in the French countryside instead of LA.
If you treat someone like a child, which legally Brit resembles, they are going to act out and rebel as a way of asserting control. What is crazy is that everyone think “she’s back” but how can anyone say that to someone under a conservatorship.
I keep thinking about alternatives to total control-maintain the conservatorship over the estate and keep the conservatorship over the person or vice versa. If Brit knows that legally she has some control over her life she will feel empowered and make better decisions. I know so will say get rid of the entire conservatorship but what if she is not ready and needs more help.
You will never see this kind of analysis on BH/Exhale.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Skip to 8:20 for some interesting comments:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfaVyZBupiI
“I was on the road for a while, and was doing a lot of what I was told, instead of what I wanted to really do. And I didn’t know how to break out of that. So in my young mind…”
How much has changed since then?
I’d love to see the Conservatorship over the estate maintained, while the Conservatorship over the person was slowly removed. I hope Kevin and his lawyers make it as easy for her as possible…But somehow I doubt that will happen.
August 26th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Steel-
You and I are on the same page. If the conservators feel that Brit will squander her money then they keep can keep control of the money and let her run her own life. On the other hand, what 28 year old adult wants to be kept on an allowance. It is her money and she probably would like to have a 100% control over it.
As for custody/visitation, you can bet that if the conservatorship over the person is lifted, Kevin and Kaplan will insist on continued supervised visits by a third party most likely a nanny or someone court appointed. They are not going to cut Brit any slack or give her the benefit of the doubt. They will be hard on her. There could be restrictions on her taking the children out of state without a monitor being present.
August 26th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
QB. I think that I agreed with you earlier this
year when you talked about keeping a c-ship over
the estate and lifting it over the person as an
option or modification. However, I think that if
this c-ship ends that it’s going to be all or
nothing. No partail removals or modifications.
You and St. Mag. are totally right about Kevin and
Kaplan. But I even feel that the judge would also
want there to be a 3rd party person involved with
the care of the boys while they’re in Britney’s
home or wherever. After all, she would be a former
conservatee which I don’t think is something that
any judge would soon forget or take lightly.
Britney will have to work hard to maintain her
stability as a mom/woman. The first few years
will be intense for her. She will be watched like
a hawk. Whomever she socializes with, dates, or
befriends could also have either a negative or
maybe positive impact on her chances at regaining
custody of the boys. It depends on who these
people are and what they’re about. And of course
the public’s opinion or Kevin’s opinion will also
carry some weight.
She can remain in California. Just live outside
of LA and not venture into certain areas too much.
Leaving CA doesn’t and shouldn’t have to be a
consideration. I, for some reason, don’t think
that she’d move back to Kentwood full-time.
It seems like she does like CA a lot. I don’t
think she’ll move back to Louisiana. If she were
to really leave the west coast I think we’d see
her on the east coast. Like NY. Kentwood will
forever be her home and some place she’ll turn to
when things get to be too much or to get away for
a week or two. But this woman needs excitement.
She craves stimulation and movement. Down South is
much slower paced with limited things to do to
amuse oneself for an extended amount of time.
To, St. Mag. IMO the answer is no. Things are back
to being the way they were during the early years
of her career. Record, tour, and dance. Repeat.
Record, tour, and dance. Repeat. SOS. Another day.
The only difference is that there’s a c-ship
in place. It’s more of the same. Britney may still
feel the way she expressed she felt in 2006 w/
Lauer. Always controlled. Doing what’s expected of
her and what she’s instructed to do. All the while
she is itching to break out of this repetitive
cycle and do what she chooses. Britney is in a
time warp. The past is the presnt. Vice versa.
You know what I mean?
Good talking again with you all.
BBL.

Thank you MARK TWAIN. That was generous.

August 26th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I saw the Levin piece from TMZ.
I have a different viewpoint. If what someone told us is true about relationships then I think Levin’s inside source is you know who.
How tall is Harry I mean Harvey anyhow?
As for what is being set up? How about the failure of the conservatorship to end in November? TMZ is setting it up. The script has been written and we are late on details. So easily duped.
I had a reason for writing the Aug 3rd review piece in so much detail. Did it work? Are they listening? It has not been enough. If they are going to set people’s expectations let us hold them to it and keep the law and bible close to hand. Accountable. T – M – Z.
Harvey. Brit has a lot of money and time on her hands? You can snow some people and they will happily snort it. How did Britney afford the shopping spree? I meanwhile hope it wasn’t part of the script. That would be too sinister but based on what I’ve seen so far not at all out of your’s and others’ interest.
August 26th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
AM-
You really exposed TMZ. I did not put all the pieces together until now.
Here was TMZ saying weeks ago that the end of the conservatorship was scheduled for the Fall and now they put out story which if true would totally explain why their previous story will not come to fruition.
Is it possible that TMZ’s original story had no basis in fact in the first place because the conservators had no intention of ending the conservatorship and TMZ’s ridiculos story was nothing more than pure speculation in the first place.
Fantasy-
You are totally right as well. As someone who has been under a conservatorship for almost two years, she will probably be required to have supervised or monitored contact with the boys for the foreseeable future.
August 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Thanks, QB. I do not think the story was based on speculation but part of a script to satisfy the public or rather those who were asking questions.
I will credit Wright for getting those questions raised and also Johnny Wright for speaking out against the tour (doing it by the numbers he said, right?) They both said to the media, hey, she’s doing interviews, going on an international tour, has endorsements and so on.
The show must go on.
I don’t know where I read it now but it came up under a search for Berk. She and another attorney coordinated their timing so that Lohan could sneak into court for a reduced sentence while meanwhile the media followed the other attorney and her client.
It’s orchestrated. Wyle meets with Anderson before the TROs are released or put into the public, to discuss the media.
Anyone is free to pitch a story to the AP or anyone else.
I feel it in my gut that TMZ is coordinating with certain officials and one of them if Jamie’s attorney if one is to believe any of the inside information in more recent times. The thing now is to follow the story while meanwhile burrowing in to get some proof. And if I can’t get it? Exert some pressure through the public.
JM pounced on the Aug c-ship review and that it was going to be canceled. He used bold and capital print, “TOTALLY FALSE.” QB, it remains peculiar that the AP wrote anything about the review and then to drop it in “without purpose” into an unrelated Jackson story. I can’t say more for now but I am on it.
Otherwise maybe it’s time for an open letter to Harvey.

Well it looks like somebody is going to
celebrate Thanksgiving Day in Australia.
2 new shows have been added to the November tour
of Australia. So that will be a total of 13 shows
to be done Down Under in 2009.
The tour and c-ship keeps going and going….
Am, you’re so on it about Harvey/TMZ.
Did you read how the story went about Britney
and her shopping spree @ TMZ?
It was very sarcastic about how “sane” Britney
looked or is, etc. as she shopped in the boutique.
The poor girl has no chance of getting out of
this thing. Does she know this? What do you think
that she has been told? Maybe the same thing all
of the fans were told? November 2009 or in 2010?
August 26th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Fantasy. Am I looking for a vid of the day she went shopping? I’ll hunt it down.
Meanwhile the clip posted by MH at http://www.tmz.com/tmztv?mediaKey=5ed069fb-8cd8-40a0-aa3d-3c355326d34c&isShareURL=true
is precious. Harvey doesn’t say Britney has money, the guy he’s playing off does. “She has a lot of money. She generally doesn’t have a lot to do.”
Harvey use a word I hadn’t heard before. Conservatives. Is that right? Is that what he said? and “they are watching?” who is this “group”…
Everybody is kind of watching and that’s what’s kind of going on right now with ALL of the conservatives. ALL, Harvey?? Both? All. Both? All. Conservators? Conservatives. ?
Is November “by the end of the year” or did you know about the extension of the tour dates yesterday during the show and now we are looking at December for the new story?
August 26th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I should have edited better. oh well. Anyway, it’s at 15:40.
August 26th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
BS.com just posted the additional Australia
tour show dates today. Brisbane (3rd show there)
on 11/22 and Melbourne (4th show there) on 11/27.
Turkey Day will be on 11/26 this year.
Will Kev, Vicky, and the kids be there too?
That’s what I want to know. And does the price
increase per continent for Kev to allow and
accompany the kids on the road (w/ Britney).

I’m so happy tonight. Steel uncovered another truth but I have a little more (sorry Steel to steal anything from you — I am so glad to hear someone echo your experience … as if anyone needed it after hearing from you in the first place).
I followed up on Harvey’s story… and I am sooooo happy I did. Details coming in an article soon.
I had a phone number. (oh no! not the phone — she’s backsliding, showing signs!)
soooooo happy!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:38 am
It’s okay, AM.
I think we all know by now that Britney The Brand and Britney The Person are two completely different things.
My comments were about “The Brand.” Yours sound like they’re about “The Person.” Can’t wait to hear what you have for us…
August 27th, 2009 at 12:43 am
Yep! Nothing earth shattering for this group but maybe a surprise for those used to lots oil, swallowing and spewing along to others.

August 27th, 2009 at 11:11 am
I just wanted to say that I just went to the Team Kevin website and I saw something shocking-pictures of Kevin and Victoria with Kevin’s two oldest children Kori and Kaleb.
You don’t see pics of those kids with their dad often. The pictures were snapped recently probably just before Kevin left for NYC with the boys. It is a good thing that Kori and Kaleb are still you enough not to know how their father favors his youngest two children over them.
August 27th, 2009 at 11:57 am
What? There’s a Team Kevin website?
I had no idea there was one. Gotta check it out.
I haven’t seen the older 2 kids in soooo long.
They must have grown a lot by now.
Does Kevin have a nanny for when his older kids
are visiting or only with SP and JJ? Or maybe the
bodyguard that was seen in NYC with Britney and
the kids at the Little Mermaid show. I think his
name may be Lonnie. He’s the only bodyguard that
I’ve seen with the kids when they go on trips or
on tour with their mom. Lynne wrote about him in
her book ( a little bit). I think Lynne said he’s
the gentle giant type. A very kind man.
Thanks for the info, QB. I’m going to check out
the site right now. Who knew? Team Kevin.com.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Hmm. Team Kevin website goes all of the way back
to 2006. That’s when Britney filed for divorce
from Kevin. Interesting. Hmmm.
I did a search on the site and I noticed that when
SP & JJ are with Kevin (and or Vicky) most of the
time there is a nanny or a security guard guy.
No. Not the large African-American man that was
with Britney and the boys in NYC. A different guy.
Like in Sweden or France (during Britney’s Euro
Tour) it was the security guy, the nanny, Kev,
Vicky, SP and JJ. But, in the first set of new
pics on the TK site it’s K, V, Kori, and Kaleb.
No nanny. No bodyguard. Although I did see 2 guys
at the back of the car as if they were helping
with something but they didn’t look like they
were “working”. It’s interesting to see that.
Britney’s kids have an entourage, so to speak.
Shar’s kids do not have the extra staff/help.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Okay. I’m back.
So it looks like the Team Kevin website has been
there since as early as August 10 or 11 of 2006.
Which means this site was probably used to help
promote Kevin the “rapper”.
Kev performed his first single (I can’t remember
what it’s called. LOL) at the Teen Choice Awards
that same month in 2006. Like, August 20. I think.
It’s hard to believe that he STILL has a website.
And there’s even a chat box for…umm…fans?
What do they have to discuss when it comes to him?
Nevermind.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I saw this quite a while back…
There’s some absolutely adorable footage on that site of SP and JJ being picked up at the day care or somewhere, and when the kids see Lonnie they get so excited. I think SP yelled out, “Lonnie!” and it was the sweetest thing. His voice was so tiny!
August 27th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I’m pretty sure that the guy that everyone thinks is Kevin’s bodyguard is actually SP/JJ’s bodyguard, I mean who would want to go after Kevin. Brit may have insisted on the children having security at all times because they are high profile.
I’m pretty sure that the nanny is nowhere to be seen when it’s just Kori and Kaleb. I’m sure the nanny’s salary is coming out of the 20k/month child suppot. This guy has got it made.
Did anyone hear what Anne Heche said about her ex on Letterman? Letterman asked her if her ex had a job and she responded that his job involves going the mailbox and opening the check with the spousal support in it every month. I’m sure Brit would emphathize. She’s going to be sending Kevin a check for 20 grand for the next 15 years.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I think the person who created that TeamKevin site used to be a Britney fan. They were very supportive of Britney and Kevin when they married. I think I used to talk them often at another site. When Britney filed for divorce, this Britney fan became a supporter of Kevin.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
You know what, I shouldn’t have said what I said. I wish I could delete my post.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Now that I think about it, the footage of Lonnie I was talking about in my last post was from a site called “Britney’s Babies.” It’s a really cute site…
But at the same time it’s really kinda creepy. If you think about it.
August 27th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I haven’t caught up yet. Here’s the result of the phone call from yesterday.
http://wp.me/px8ZX-9u
‘TMZ founder Harvey Levin claims Britney’s backsliding’
I hope when you see it it has the cut of “read more” etc. I can see it when I see the whole website but not on the individual page.
It’s long but thorough and I lucked out on GREAT quotes!
August 27th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Heh heh.
I especially like this part:
“Harvey. What gives? Who tells you of the intimate details of what the conservators watch and plan? A friend in the legal system? Just asking.”
August 27th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Yea! Steel. I wrote that several times. Do I keep it, not keep it oh say it, say it.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Any sentence that ends with, “Just asking,” usually packs a good punch.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
LOL. I was hoping to save my butt.
I am soooo happy. It’s the first piece I have written that is fan-worthy. oc, they see right past Harvey but that’s okay.
Britney’s Addiction picked it up in full. Those guys are really cool.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:31 pm
They called it the truth about Britney’s shopping trip to Vionnet. Off to finally catch up on what I missed today.
August 27th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Wow. small I hope you are happy with the article. It was wonderful to hear all of those positive things.
Britneys’ Babies. I am always weirded out by the music and having to click one of the two kids. I just want to see them both. There are other people who have a fix on one child or the other?
QB, I am betting the bodyguard is paid for by Britney’s team. I hope someone leaks the latest bills and accounting docs in September.
MT. Consider today’s article as step one. I haven’t forgotten.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Visiting Britney’s Babies is kind of like taking mushrooms. You know you *probably* shouldn’t be doing it again, but one more time won’t hurt, right?
“There are other people who have a fix on one child or the other?”
…Only the ones that wear the tinfoil hats.

LOL! Dang you are on a roll, Steel. I’m trying to unwind from caffeine and bam you got me going with laughter. A pill in a weiner? Great analogy.
You’re right about not going back to Britney’s Babies but there I am again, looking for pictures. Who is she with, any news? Should I be doing this? This feels weird. Why do I have to pick a son? oh look pictures!
Dang.

AM-
Another great article. It seems like no one out there in the media is doing the kind of investigative journalism that you are. You’re link the anti-TMZ and I love it.
What I hate about TMZ is that they sensationalize and exaggerate everything. First newsflash is “conservatorship could end by Nov” and then the next story is “Brit backslides no end to conservatorship”. I mean does Harvey even know what he is talking about. What I have to keep in mind is that TMZ is a tabloid- they buy their stories; their sources are paid. No reputable news agency would ever pay money and TMZ is not reputable.
I hate the amount of success TMZ has had in ruinining people’s lives and wish his show would get cancelled just like Harvey’s last tv show “Celebrity Justice”. What a horrible human being.
Who benefits from portraying Brit as an out of control compulsive shopper?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I could think of a couple of people…
So TMZ pays for their information. Who would they have to pay in Camp Spears to get the info on the last story? Or was it just a freebie?
I have a feeling that Harvey just reads off whatever confidential e-mail was sent to him. No questions asked. It’s good for his ratings. And good for whoever sent him the e-mail.
But that’s just a feeling.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:38 am
Steel-
TMZ has made its mark by getting the story first and how they do it is paying whoever will get them the info the money that want. They are a lot of people who would not hesistate to sell out their friend or breach confidentiality for a profit.
It could be a low level paralegal who has access to legal documents or the person who does Brit’s hair or nails. Anyone who has any proximity to Brit could be bought off which is a shame.
The LA Times did a story about a nurse who sold Farrah Fawcett’s medical information to the National Enquirer for a few grand. These kinds of people are out there and TMZ knows they can be bought.
August 28th, 2009 at 1:15 am
Well let’s not forget favors for favors. Ronnie’s statement about out there friend money or favors sticks with me.
Thanks, QB. More coming up. By the way, remember our bet? The other party has behaved in a unusual perhaps evidenciary (am I using this right? apparently I can’t even spell it right)manner.
Decisions decisions. I don’t want to risk this story disappearing into the ether. So you know, I made the calls and the follow-up calls. I am wondering that it’s without some precedent.
It’s strange not to ask for a buffer like asking someone what would you do? The question is what will I do. I am saddened by the situation but I have additional proof. They didn’t correct the story and this is something journalists would want to know and why. btw, didn’t approach them on this issue as a student. We all have the “same” education on ethics and um… their policy meanwhile is public and available for anyone to see. Correcting a story in not voluntary or arbitrary between individual reporters. It’s what they do.
August 28th, 2009 at 1:35 am

Everybody is kind of watching and that’s what’s kind of going on right now with ALL of the conservatives. ALL, Harvey?? Both? All. Both? All. Conservators? Conservatives. ?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Question…
In the end, does it even MATTER what the “Conservatives” think? Or is it really just her doctors that have the final say?
August 28th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Steel-
It does matter what the conservators think for a myriad of reasons: the conservators have the power to petition to end the conservatorship and if they are willing to argue that Brit is well enough to be on her own the judge will be more inclined to grant their motion.
Secondly, if the conservators are opposed to ending the conservatorship, Brit in effect will be in court battling against her father for control of her affairs and that could be hard for her emotionally. It will look much better if there is a united front.
The judge is going to consider a number of factors when determining to end the conservatorship- the opinions of Brit’s doctors as well as the conservators will carry a great deal of weight.
If Jamie were to testify that he loosened the reigns and Brit acted recklessly or irresponsibly, the judge could say she still needs help.
Or,if Jamie says that Brit has matured greatly over the past two years and is now much more responsible and exercises better judgment, the judge could say this woman is mentally fit to be on her own.
August 28th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Thank you, small. I wish I could do more like them and maybe I will get to. That one got to me because here we were “seasoned” as it were and talking as though her frantic, compulsive behavior was fact …or at least believable.
Then there was that conspiracy theory of mine or some of us — the idea that there is a script.
I am so glad you liked it thought. BEX didn’t pick it up. JM didn’t either. I’m not sure why as the content is “really good” about Britney and it does tell the other side. Maybe I am not liked there. Who knows. I got to watch B.A. revamp their a site a bit one day. It was really neat. They put so much heart into it.
