WHO IS REALLY BEHIND THE “FREE BRITNEY” DEMONSTRATIONS?

These demonstrators made quite a scene outside the courtroom dealing with Britney Spears’ conservatorship hearing and it made us wonder: who is behind this? SOMEONE is motivated to organize these people (fans?) with their signs. The #FreeBritney movement has flourished, even though Britney has never complained about the conservatorship, and her life seems back on track. (The LA Times spent three months investigating her conservatorship, and could find NO evidence that she was being harmed.) The only person we know of who would love to see Britney free to choose her own associates is Sam Lufti, who probably still has a restraining order keeping him away. HE inserted himself into her life during Britney’s head-shaving meltdown days, and her family banned him from contacting her. So it may NOT be “concerned fans” behind this movement.

COURTNEY LOVE: CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS CAREFULLY!

It’s fashion Week and Courtney Love is hopping out of a Maybach as she returns to her NY hotel. She can breathe easy now, because she and her daughter Frances got a lifetime restraining order against Sam Lufti. You remember Lufti from the Britney Spears head-shaving meltdown a few years ago – Brit’s family charged Sam with moving in and taking over Britney’s life when she was vulnerable. After they kicked him out, he harassed them for money he claimed was owed to him and they got a restraining order also. Apparently Lufti appointed himself as Courtney’s manager and barged into her life with the same consequences. Vulnerable celebrities beware…

LIFETIME’S “BRITNEY EVER AFTER” – WATCH OUT – SAM LUFTI WILL BE WATCHING!

Britney Spears fans are NOT happy about the casting for Lifetime’s TV movie “Britney Ever After” – they gripe that the actors don’t look like their real life counterparts. They’re right, but that won’t stop Brit’s fans from watching. One thing the movie producers DO have to watch out for is Sam Lufti. You might remember he is the questionable guy who oozed himself into Britney’s life when she was so vulnerable and declared himself her “manager.” Lufti has a history of restraining orders, lawsuits, and temperamental outbursts. He sued Britney’s family for “slander” – they called him a low-life drug dealer – and he collected SIX figures in a settlement. Lufti went on to insert himself into the lives of Amanda Bynes and Courtney Love – but those are other stories. If he doesn’t like how he’s portrayed in this TV movie (and there’s no WAY it could be flattering) producers and Lifetime will be hearing from his lawyer!

FROM BRITNEY TO AMANDA: SAM LUFTI SAYS “I’M BAAAACK…”

Interesting how Sam Lufti insinuated himself into the world of Amanda Bynes‘ parents and managed to gain their trust. (He is credited for orchestrating the scheme to get Amanda back to LA and into treatment. Amanda’s parents are grateful.) Do they recall what happened when Britney Spears opened the door for Sam? Lufti became her self appointed “manager” and he took charge of her cell phone and medications. Hospitalizations for Brit followed, and eventually Britney’s parents banned him from Britney’s life and accused him of taking advantage of her. This guy can’t stay away from female celebrities with mental problems…

BRITNEY SPEARS: OSAMA'S OUT- AND ADNAN TOO?

Things are moving fast for Britney. She had a screaming British fit in the hospital when she learned that her father Jamie has been named the conservator of her estate. Wait until she finds out that a restraining order will be keeping her constant companion Osama Lufti OUT of her life! And just where does that leave Adnan Ghalib? We don’t know how her father feels about him, but it doesn’t look promising. Presumably he will be forced to rejoin the dog pack and become a paparazzo again – oh yes, and a tester for male enhancement products.
