Judge Won’t Let Lynn Off The Hook
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
Britney Spears’s mom Lynne might think twice before she writes a sequel to her book, “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.”
The book’s less-than-flattering statements about her daughter’s former manager are coming back to haunt her. KTLA reports a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge refused to dismiss Lynne Spears as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Sam Lutfi, and ruled that his lawyers had established a claim for defamation.
So does this mean Mama Spears has to hire a team of detectives to prove Shady Sam is the dirtbag she painted him to be in her book? And will the Bank of Britney get stuck with the bills?

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?

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?

Papa Spears Tells Sam To Pay Up
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
Former Britney Spears manager Sam Lutfi has already been handed a three-year restraining order—now he may get stuck with the bill for it.
According to People, the legal team representing Spears’ conservatorship wants shady Sam to pay $123,142 for their fees in obtaining the restraining order. The legal eagles also are looking for $129,922 from attorney Jon Eardley and $72,292 from Britney’s ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, both of whom are also under restraining orders.
It looks like challenging Papa Spears’ authority gets more expensive all the time.
