Shady Sam Strikes Again
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
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?

Pap Sues Britney For Running Over Foot
Friday, May 29th, 2009
The Britney Spears legal circus just keeps rolling on. Now a two-year-old incident has come back to haunt her.
The AP reports a paparazzi photographer who has worked for TMZ filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles today. Ricardo Mendoza alleges the singer committed assault and battery when she ran over his foot in a Beverly Hills parking garage in October 2007. A video of the incident can be viewed here.
Britney was understandably upset at the time, because she had just found out she lost custody of her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, so she probably should have let someone else drive.
But isn’t this just the sort of thing Big Daddy Spears and his mighty Conservatorship are paid to take care of? Why haven’t they already thrown some of Brit’s money at this guy to make it all go away? Does Britney really need to have the mistakes she made during her darkest days dragged out again?

Jamie Slams Sam’s Suit
Friday, May 15th, 2009
Is there really a new development every day in the legal problems of Britney Spears, Inc., or does it just seem that way?
The story du jour is Jamie Spears’ response to the lawsuit by his daughter’s former manager Sam Lutfi against Camp Spears for breach of contract. RadarOnline quotes from the court papers, “Defendant J. Spears denies generally each and every allegation of plaintiff’s unverified First Amended Complaint, and denies the Plaintiff has been injured or damaged in any degree, amount, or sums, or is entitled to any relief at all.” Daddy Spears also defends any use of force against Lutfi. J. Spears was privileged to use force in and about the matters complained of in the FAC, if any force was used, because he was provoked by plaintiff through his words or conduct.”
As usual, Spears requests dismissal of the suit and payment of attorney fees. A trial is scheduled for March 2010. Spears will probably sue somebody to pay for that, too.

Eardley Hits Back At Camp Spears
Thursday, May 14th, 2009
While Britney Spears has been busy touring, working her cute little butt off to make money, her daddy Jamie Spears has been busy spending it on lawyers, fighting anyone who threatens his stranglehold over his daughter’s life. Those pesky legal bills will get even higher now, since one of his targets is fighting back.
RadarOnline reports attorney Jon Eardley has filed papers in an L.A. court appealing the three-year restraining order served against him, and also objecting to being forced to pay the legal costs of obtaining the order. Eardley, Brit’s former manager Sam Lutfi, and her ex BF Adnan Ghalib were all slapped with three-year restraining orders keeping them away from the singer and her family. The three were also ordered to pay court costs the Spears team incurred obtaining the orders.
Eardley objects to being lumped together with Brit’s former manager Sam Lutfi, stating, “The court will recall that the bulk of the witnesses were called with respect to Lutfi. The investigation substantially focused on Mr. Lutfi.”
A hearing is scheduled for May 29. Will Eardley have the legal savvy to stand up to the Spears conservatorship?

Sam Gets Court Date In Spears Suit
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
Former Britney Spears manager Sam Lutfi will get his day in court—but not until next year.
AFP reports Lutfi has been given a March 8, 2010 trial date in his suit against the Spears family, which alleges defamation, assault and breach of contract. Lutfi charges Britney’s parents Jamie and Lynne Spears “began a campaign of slander, libel and defamation aimed at discrediting, destroying and physically and emotionally intimidating Lutfi in order to drive him out of Britney’s life.”
The Spears family may file a countersuit. They have already obtained a permanent restraining order which prohibits Lutfi from coming within 100 yards of the pop star, her kids or her parents.
