Sam Lutfi: I'm "Cooperating" With Britney Spears' Family


Sam Lutfi says he is on Britney Spears' side as he fights against an extension of a restraining order from her family."Sam and the family are communicating and cooperating trying to do whats best for Britney," Lutfi's spokesman, Michael Sands, said in a statement to Us Weekly.In fact, Lutfi agreed to stay away from the singer through July, court sources told TMZ.com.On Wednesday, the commissioner in the case ruled in favor of Lutfi's request that a judge take over the hearing concerning the extension of the restraining order.Lawyers were in attendance but neither Lutfi nor a member of the Spears family appeared at court.Lutfi has been forbidden from going within 250 yards of Spears and her home since February.In a six-page declaration released in February, Lynne Spears accused Lutfi of grinding up Risperdal, a sleeping medication, and Seroquel, an anti-psychotic drug prescribed to treat bipolar disorder, and giving them to Britney.Lutfi himself admitted in an Us Weekly cover story that he had given Britney "a handful of pills" to help her sleep. Britney, Lutfi told Us Weekly, agreed that the meds were helping her sleep.Spears, meanwhile, returned to the recording studio.-HHE/BritneyOverdose

Star Magazine Reporting Britney Kissing Kevin




Britney and Kevin caught kissing?


Since Britney Spears and Kevin Federline split up, their custody arrangement has changed frequently. But one thing has remained constant: When the time has come to drop off Sean Preston and Jayden James at either of their parent’s houses, bodyguards have done the honors, says a friend of Kevin’s, so Britney and Kevin could avoid each other.But that’s been changing lately. In recent weeks, Kevin’s begun dropping off the boys at Britney’s LA house himself, the friend reveals. In fact, Kevin and Britney were talking on April 8, the friend says, “and Britney gave Kevin a kiss in front of their sons.”-Life&Style

Britney Spears returns to the recording studio


Britney Spears is quite clearly trying to get her life — and possibly her career — back on track — after hitting the recording studio this week with former manager Larry Rudolph.“We went into the studio, but it was just for fun – nothing more,” Rudolph says of their visits to a studio in Burbank, CA Monday and Tuesday.The ‘Toxic’ star, 26, has not been in a recording studio for the past year, sources close to the singer say.“She just wanted to go in and tinker around,” the source tells Us Weekly. “She sat at a piano and got some ideas. She played the piano and sang a bit. She enjoyed herself.”Britney played old and new songs, the source says, adding, “she wanted to go in as a way to get her creativity going. It was a really positive experience for her.”Spears and Rudolph — who is credited for discovering Spears and managing her career for 9 years — “are not at the stage where they are talking business yet,” nor is this studio visit the start of a new project, the source says.Earlier this month, Rudolph said Britney is on the “right path.”-ShowBizSpy

Britney Spears Keeps Custody Battle Alive

Britney's Fight For Her Kids


Britney Spears has come a long way from the girl who spent her days and nights taking erratic car rides through Los Angeles. These days, the 26-year-old mother of two can occasionally be seen enjoying a relatively quiet lunch or dinner, but then it's back to her Studio City home, where she largely stays out of the spotlight.Sources say the reason for Britney's dramatic turnaround is the fight for her children, which she has resumed with a vengeance. "Britney wants her kids back," one insider reveals to OK!. "And she will do everything in her power to make that goal a reality."On May 6, Britney, along with her dad and legal team, is prepared to go before Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon and ask yet again for overnight visits with her adorable kids, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 19 months.If she succeeds in this battle, Brit will be allowed one precious evening per week with her children for the first time since her infamous hostage standoff on Jan. 3.Appearing in court will only be the first step toward regaining even partial custody of her boys in the 50/50 agreement that Britney and her ex Kevin Federline, 30, agreed upon when they finalized their divorce last July. The second step is a closer, more peaceful relationship with Kevin. "It would be fantastic if they could become great friends again and could get together like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore did to show their kids how much they love them," a relative of Kevin tells OK!. "I think both Brit and Kevin would be open to that eventually."And according to Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, Britney is well on her way to achieving both goals. "Britney's progress over the last two months is good," he tells OK! exclusively. "No surprises, nothing to be alarmed about, and that's all very positive. -OK!

Sam Sitting Out Britney-Restraining Hearing


E! News has exclusively learned that Britney Spears' erstwhile manager and right-hand man will not be appearing in court Wednesday to fight the restraining order that keeps him away from the pop star."He's not going," says a source familiar with the case.Papa Jamie Spears originally requested a restraining order against Lutfi on Feb. 1 barring him from coming within 250 yards of Britney or having any contact with her.In a declaration accompanying the restraining order application, mother Lynne Spears accused Lutfi of attempting "to take control of [Britney's] life, home and finances.""Mr. Lutfi drugged Britney," Lynne Spears' affidavit read. "He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything—Britney's business manager, her attorneys, and the security guards at the gate."Attorneys for Jamie Spears attempted to find and serve Lutfi but failed to track him down for weeks. Finally, after he was properly served, Lutfi agreed on March 17 to have the restraining order against him extended until Wednesday's hearing."He respects Britney, he respects the temporary restraining order, and everyone is beating him up for no reason," Lutfi's publicist said after the hearing. "Enough is enough."Meanwhile, attorneys for the conservatorship overseeing Britney's estate signaled there might be a détente. "Mr. Lutfi and Mr. Spears are in discussion that may resolve the issues presented in the TRO application," they wrote in a court filing last month.While Lutfi has filed a motion stating he objected to having Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz presiding over his restraining order hearing instead of full-fledged judge, he has done little to argue against the allegations raised in the restraining order in court.And with Lutfi not planning on attending Wednesday's hearing, it appears again that once again these charges will go unanswered—and his chances to reconnect with Britney anytime soon slim.

At one point, I thought that the thing between Adnan Ghalib and Britney Spears was over … seems not!Adnan may be laying low when it comes to Britney, but he still checks up on her and visits her.About a month ago Adnan and Britney were spotted in her Mercedes just outside her Summit home.Adnan also picked up a dvd or two a couple of days before this and visited Britney and her sis Jamie at The Summit.As for his hanging out with Kathy Griffin … it was Kathy’s idea in order to see what it would be like to stir up a paparazzi frenzy!On another level it seems Adnan was involved in a sticky situation a couple of days ago; he suffered a stab to his arm and black eye! What’s up with that?On the JFX website, they state that he’s fine, got the medical attention he needed and that all happened because of death threats on Adnan entering a new level!Hope you’re well and fine … Be careful Adnan!-Wa!eg/BritneyOverdose

Britney Spears threatens to release US video diaries


Oh dear. We've got a bad feeling about this, Britney.The Toxic star is threatening to release her video diaries, which record her problems over the past six months, on the internet or, worse, MTV.Brit, 26 - who was in a three-car pile-up at the weekend while her ex Adnan Ghalib was stabbed in the arm and received "facial lacerations and a nice shiner" in an attack - gives a terrifying insight into her state of mind.As well as rants about her family and friends, the singer reveals intimate information about her ex, Justin Timberlake, and her rivalry with Christina Aguilera."Britney's video diaries are the talk of the Tinseltown elite," we're told. "Her high-profile friends and exes - including Justin - knew what she was up to but assumed she was filming herself as a form of therapy. If she does decide to go public with the footage, it'll be explosive."Although some of it is really sad to watch - especially the parts where she's close to breakdown - others are dynamite. Not surprisingly both JT and Kevin Federline are terrified the material will end up all over the net."Or, even worse, Britney will agree to another MTV documentary, and release some of the footage through official channels."Hand over the camera, love...-MirrorUk/BritneyOverdose

Britney arrives at Dominick's


Jamie Lynn Wears Britney's Birthday Gift


Jamie Lynn Spears, who turned 17 last week, is already enjoying big sister Britney Spears' birthday gifts. While running errands in Kentwood, La., mom-to-be Jamie Lynn was snapped in Crystal Rock's canary yellow Flamenco Dancer tee, which retails for $143. Crystal Rock is the new collection by Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier, who Britney visited last week in Culver City, Calif. to talk about possibly collaborating on clothing line. While there, Britney also picked out some fashions from Christian's various brands and had some things shipped to her little sister, whose birthday was April 4. Britney has long been a fan of Christian, who was the primary force behind the rise of Von Dutch. Yep, he's the guy who made the trucker cap a style trend... and we all remember how much Britney loved her trucker hats. Christian now designs several brands including Crystal Rock, which is a collaboration with his young daughter Crystal. All the T-shirts in the collection are made from organic fabric, which seems to be in vogue in Hollywood these days. Other celebrities who wear Christian Audigier's designs include Madonna, Mariah Carey, Heidi Klum and Carrie Underwood, so the Spears ladies are certainly in good company. -StarMagazine

Britney's Dinner With Jason Trawick!



What was Brit doing two days before her fender bender? Why, she had a big date with agent Jason Trawick!We caught the happy couple at Brit's favorite sushi spot, Sushi House Unico, Friday night around suppertime. Of course, considering Jason's status as Britney's agent over at William Morris, we're guessing this date was more of a platonic affair than a romantic one. After all, with all the roles offered to the pop princess since her star turn on How I Met Your Mother, they probably had tons of stuff to discuss!Source: X17

Britney struggling with dad's rules?


Britney Spears struggling with dad's rules?'Britney can't accept the new rules. She feels like a child again,' says a source. 'She's getting frustrated that she can't do as she pleases. 'She was already at her wits' end after being told her allowance was only 1500 a week, but now Jamie's suffocating her even more by choosing what career she goes into.' Jamie believes that the only way to help his daughter is to get her back to work, so he's in talks with her old manager Larry Rudolph. Britney's starting to rebel against being 'forced' back into the limelight and is threatening to return to her uncontrollable behaviour. 'Her dad masterminded her recent appearance on a US sitcom [How I Met Your Mother] because he thinks that if she does more acting it'll not only keep her out of trouble,' says a source. 'The only time she gets any freedom is when she goes to the Millennium Dance Complex in LA to teach the kids and get some exercise. It's no fun when you're 26 and living with your dad.' -TheBosh/BritneyOverdose

While Britney was rear-ending Adnan was getting stabbed?


Adnan was attacked and stabbed last night but he is doing OK after receiving medical attention for his wounds. He received a stab wound to his arm, facial lacerations as well as a nice shiner. I’m not sure what to make of this considering that he’s received more and more death threats in recent weeks. Is it coincidence? I don’t know. But in the ever growing Adnan hating world that some blogs live in, the repeated venom spewed at him could have finally boiled over to the real world.We all know there are some crazies out there, I mean, I screen out at least a dozen death threats on our comments every week. Yes we’re tight with Adnan and all but still, this attack pushed this situation into a whole ‘nother level that I’m having trouble accepting. Hopefully the attackers will be found and brought to justice. And by the way, we’re all thankful that Britney wasn’t hurt in her fender bender earlier in the evening.-JFX
