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?

Courtney Sued By AmEx
Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Courtney Love may be paying for her future shopping sprees with cash, as she’s embroiled in a dispute with American Express over unpaid credit card bills.
Reuters reports AmEx filed suit in court yesterday seeking $352,059.67 is charges and fees on her Gold card. The suit charges Love’s charging privileges were suspened after she failed to make payments.
Love has struck back against the company, releasing this statement to TMZ through her lawyer: “AmEx knows the claim has no merit. We have told them this for a long time. AmEx’s law policies allowed fraudulent transactions to be charged to my client’s card.” The lawyer also claims 104 AmEx credit cards were taken out in her name, and she never charged on any of them.
It sounds like Courtney could use a good business manager—one who goes over her bills and keeps up with her credit rating.

Another Bogus Britney Lawsuit
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
No wonder Britney Spears has so many legal bills. It seems like every few days, somebody wants to dig into her deep pockets.
TMZ reports a former bodyguard named Kerry Vine has filed a suit claiming he was injured while working at the singer’s old home. The papers say Spears “negligently operated her home and business thereby causing injuries to [him].”
So what were his “injuries?” A source told TMZ that Vine worked for Brit three whole days. On the third he offered to move a small table with several other men, then called in sick the next day and never returned. This happened over a year ago, and the guy’s been on worker’s comp ever since, claiming “shoulder pain.”
So did his worker’s comp run out, and suing Brit looked easier than actually getting a job? He wouldn’t be the first former employee to sue her when he ran out of cash.

Judge Won’t Toss Paris Suit
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
Usually a movie that tanks is pretty much forgotten. But the 2006 flop “Pledge This!” seems to be hanging around to haunt Paris Hilton.
According to the AP, a judge in Miami refused to dismiss the suit against Hilton claiming she failed to promote the film’s DVD release. A trial is now set for June 8.
I’m dying to see how these moviemakers are going to prove that promotion could have saved this POS movie. Paris could have gone on every talk show that would take her, wearing nothing but dental floss, and still nobody would have cared about “Pledge This!”
