The Latest on Britney's Conservatorship


In the latest hearing today regarding Britney Spears' conservatorship, the judge stated that the case is now in a "holding pattern," because it is currently in the hands of the federal court.
Federal court Judge Gutierrez is expected to rule next week on whether the conservatorship should be moved to federal court. There will be no hearing and it is expected that the request, to be filed today by Britney's advocate Jon Eardley, will be denied. The case will thus be returned to superior court. Even so, Jamie Spears, Britney's father and conservator, has until Monday to respond to the request.
It was also noted that Sam Lutfi has finally been served with his temporary restraining order, which the federal judge extended to March 17, when Sam is expected to appear in court.


Brit Gets To Visit Babies



Wonderful news in Britney land today. Ms. Spears will get to see her babies after almost eight weeks of no contact. I know Kevin has approved of this and wants Brit back in the boys’ lives. Sean Preston and Jayden James will get to see their momma. There are stipulations, though. The structured visits will have to be in a therapeutic setting and she will have to take her dad Jamie, along with her psychiatrist. Lawyers for both sides finally hashed out an agreement. I’m wondering how much money Brit and Kevin have paid in legal fees. Anyway, it’s good that Brit’s dad has stayed put and kept her pretty leveled. Hopefully seeing her kids will give her even more incentive to get better.


Chief Bratton Don't Play...


Wow, I guess L.A. Police Chief William Bratton is not dancing to ‘Gimme Some More.’ He was on a local radio show (KPCC - 89.3 FM) this morning and had some choice words regarding our Britney. His comments stemmed from a question asked by the radio host about new laws regarding paparazzis. Here’s what he had to say and he’s not mincing words, this one:

“What we need is for Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don’t need additional laws…I’ve got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue. What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there…Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services.”
Well, alrighty then.


Brit’s Family Relieved



According to a close family source, Britney’s mom and dad are both extremely relieved and happy that Sam Lutfi was finally served his restraining order. A judge also extended the restraining order until March 17, when the hearing is scheduled. Also in other Britney news, there were reports last night that Adnan was caught going on a date behind Britney’s back. Well, the woman Adnan was out to dinner with last night is none other than his business partner. I hope Brit didn’t believe all the rumors. It really is hard dating in the public eye, isn’t it?

Sam Lutfi Further Restrained


Sam Lutfi has finally been served—and how.
A federal judge extended the restraining order preventing Britney Spears' once-constant companion from approaching the star until Mar. 17, according to court documents filed late Thursday.
U.S. District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez granted the extension at the request of Jamie Spears, whose conservatorship over Britney's estate has been prolonged until at least Mar. 10.
After somehow managing to duck process servers for the last three weeks, Lutfi became officially obligated to act in accordance with the restraining order at about 11 a.m. as he was leaving his Los Angeles apartment.
The order, originally set to expire after 21 days, requires that he stay at least 250 yards away from Britney and any of her properties.
Jamie and Lynne Spears moved to keep Lutfi away from their daughter on Feb. 1, the day after he helped arrange for her to be committed to UCLA Medical Center's psych ward for evaluation. The two sides have been sparring via spokespeople and lawyers ever since, with Britney seemingly torn between the two.
While she was spotted shopping and running errands with Lynne and dining with Jamie, sources close to the situation have said that she's sick and tired of her dad's interference and is looking to extract herself from his legal grip as soon as possible.
In their request for a restraining order, which was granted Feb. 1, Britney's parents alleged that Lutfi had been plying the troubled songstress with pills and otherwise scheming to control her life.
"He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers," the motion stated. "He yells at her. He claims to control everything—Britney's business manager, her attorneys, and the security guards at the gate."
Hearings concerning both the restraining order and attorney Jon Eardley's motion to have the conservator case moved to federal court—a move supposedly orchestrated by Lutfi with Britney's blessing—have been set for Mar. 17. Documents providing a good reason for transferring the case have to be filed by Feb. 29.

As TMZ first reported, LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division is investigating Lutfi for allegedly drugging Brit.
