Sam Lufti

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!

FRANCES COBAIN: DOES MOTHER KNOW BEST?

Little did musician Isaiah Silva suspect when he married Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Cobain that his mother-in-law and her guard dog would turn on him if the relationship failed. Frances, 24, filed for divorce after two years together and she’s been struggling to get her father’s guitar back. Isaiah claims she gave him Kurt Cobain’s guitar as a wedding present and he wants to keep it. (it could be worth millions) Courtney is ENRAGED and she sicced her obnoxious friend Sam Lufti on Silva. You will recall Lufti is an expert at getting involved with problematic female celebrities like Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes, and now his dear friend Courtney. In fact, he might be the king of restraining orders. He harassed and threatened Silva and his family, urging them to surrender the guitar. Several police reports and restraining orders later, the court will decide who owns the guitar. Hopefully, Frances will distance herself from sleazoid Lufti. As long as there’s a vulnerable female celebrity, the opportunistic Lufti will not go hungry.

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

19761PCN_SpearsHospicut4

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…
