Lutfi Drug Probe -- Full Steam Ahead

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD investigation into Sam Lutfi allegedly drugging Britney Spears is well underway.

We're told the case has now been assigned to Robbery Homicide, primarily because of the sensitive nature of the allegations and the intense media interest in Britney Spears. Sources say investigators have interviewed several witnesses regarding the drugs in Brit's system at the time she was most recently committed.

We're told the investigation had been temporarily derailed because of the death of an LAPD SWAT officer, but it's now back on track.

One source says the investigation will probably be concluded in late March.

Brit's Traffic Case Postponed

The following italicized article is taken from www.ok-magazine.com:

The tangled web of court cases revolving around Britney Spears will be one less--for now. On Wednesday, a Los Angeles Judge continued the singer's driving-without-a licence-case until March 20, after Brit's lawyers argued she was incapable of resolving the matter.

Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman continued the misdemeanor case after lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said Brit's conservatorship attornies "do not think she is qualified or capable of entering into a binding agreement" at this time. Flanagan said the attorneys also don't believe Britney, 26, is capable of giving a deposition or signed declaration.

Earlier this month, a judge placed Spears under the conservatorship of her father and an attorney after more than a year of increasingly bizarre behavior by the singer.
Spears hit a parked car on Aug. 6, 2007, and left without notifying the owner. She was originally cited for hit and run and driving without a license, but the hit-and-run charge was dropped.

Federal Judge Says It Seems Bogus To Him

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

A Federal judge in the Britney conservatorship case has issued a tentative ruling that the move to make a federal case out of it is ridiculous.

Judge Philip Gutierrez set a deadline of February 29 for Britney's so-called lawyer, Jon Eardley, to explain why on Earth the federal court has any business getting involved in Britney's mental affairs.

The court said it sure seems the Feds have no jurisdiction to interfere, and unless Eardley can convince the judge to the contrary, the case will go back to State court on Feb 29.

Brit's Conservators Smell Lutfi!

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

Lawyers for Britney Spears' conservatorship filed papers yesterday in federal court, asking the court to reject the bid to remove the case from the California Court system.

In the papers, the lawyers claim Britney was in no position to even hire a lawyer for the federal case because she's not allowed to under the conservatorship order. Attorney Jon Eardley, who filed the federal case, claims Britney hired him.

Lawyers for the conservator also want Eardley to identify everyone with whom he worked to get the federal case filed. It's real clear the conservators believe Sam Lutfi who is behind it, hand he's been restrained from having any contact with Brit.

The conservators' lawyers also want Eardley to pay attorney's fees, claiming the federal file is kinda frivolous.

Another Day, Another Hearing for Britney

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

There was another hearing today in L.A. in the case related to Britney Spears August hit-and-run accident. Britney's lawyer, Michael Flanagan, asked Judge T.K. Herman for a continuance because the pop star is under a conservatorship and "isn't qualified at this time to enter into a legally binding matter."

The judge granted a continuance until March 20 and said it would be the last continuance, but added that he realized the 26-year-old needed to be judged legally competent before the case could proceed. The hit and run charges against Britney were previously dismissed, but she still faces a charge of driving without a license.

Shar Jackson: Kevin's 'Like My Best Friend'

The following italicized article is taken from www.people.com:

With all that's going on in Kevin Federline's life, his ex Shar Jackson says that the One Tree Hill actor is doing "fabulous" and focusing on what's important.

"He's being daddy," she told PEOPLE at Tuesday's "Chevy Rocks the Future" green event at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.

"You know, he can't worry about what's going on outside his household," continued Jackson, 31, the mother of two of Federline's four children. "That's the only way you can stay sane and stay focused. You just can't worry about the stuff that's going on outside your house. You have to just protect everybody inside your home and stay focused on that."

As for how his boys with Britney Spears, Preston, 2, Jayden, 1, are doing, "They're good," she said. "I've always said he's an amazing father ... it's just now people decide they want to listen. He's an awesome dude. He makes mistakes – people do that. It's part of life."

Her relationship with Federline is good these days, she also says. "He's like my best friend."

Fit and Glowing

Jackson, who has an album coming out this summer and just wrapped a horror movie (The House that Jack Built), explained that she's "working ... trying to stay busy" and maintains her recent fit and glowing appearance by simply not letting things get to her.

"I just decided to be happy regardless of anything. If I'm having a bad day, whatever, I'll get over it. Just be happy," she says.

On Tuesday night, Jackson brought her eldest daughter Cassie to see a live performance of The Jonas Brothers, whom she likes as far as clean, positive entertainers. But, when it comes to role models, there is only one person in her kids' lives to take on that job.

"We don't look at any entertainers to be role models in our household. That's me, just me, I'm the only one."

TMZ Photogs Busted in Britney Sweep

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

The cops have cracked down bigtime on paparazzi -- no, not the ones who blow red lights. Not the ones who run cars off the road. Not the ones who threaten to kill people who get in their way. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department is going after ... sidewalk violators!!!

By our count, six camerapeople were busted last night; two outside the salon where Brit was getting her hair done and four outside Villa nightclub where Lindsay was partying. Two TMZ photogs were among those busted.

One deputy is heard warning paps, "You're slowing down, you're stopping on my sidewalk." When asked what law the photogs were violating, a deputy cited West Hollywood Municipal Code, Section 3.04.030, the Traffic Safety Fund. That section funnels traffic violation money to bankroll traffic lights and other stuff.

One TMZ photog says he had just stepped off the sidewalk when he was cuffed and thrown into the back of a squad car for an hour. Another TMZ photog was hauled off to jail for 6 hours.

Our photogs may have turned out for Britney Spears last night - but it looks like they met a new star instead!

The whole celebrity press corps showed up at the B2V Salon to catch a glimpse of the pop princess getting her hair done.

Sadly, curtains kept the paps from snapping any clear shots of the action - well, curtains and Britney's police escort, that is!

The West Hollywood police gave the photogs a talking to and even snapped some handcuffs on a couple of them and threw them in the back of a police car! No one was arrested but the paps learned the finer points of not blocking a driveway!

'Britney Spears Suffers From Memory Loss'

The following italicized article is taken from www.entertainmentwise.com:

According to sources the troubled-singer appeared to have no recollection of her November 2007 shoot, where she took over the Social club for the highly-publicized ten-hour long shoot.

A source tells Hollyscoop.com that Spears- who returned to the club for a late night dinner over the weekend - struck up a conversation with a confused general manager of the restaurant, asking, "How long have you been open?" and "what was upstairs", where she filmed the video.

The 26-year-old further confused the situation by telling staff that the venue "Was beautiful" before residing to the bar where she reportedly “chain smoked” for the majority of the evening.

The insider concludes that the Gimme More singer – who was hospitalized for severe bipolar disorder earlier this month – refused to touch her food and went to the bathroom every fifteen minutes before heading home.

It's Like 'Groundhog Day'

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

No, you aren't reading a post from the weekend, or last month, or last year. This is, in fact, Britney Spears, stepping out of a car and once again flashing the world her lady business last night. Ironically, the pop star was headed into B2V Salon when she flashed her bare necessities. The style-free songstress, 26, was getting her extensions tended to, much like a farmer doing crop rotation, at the salon co-owned by her longtime colorist, Kim Vo.

While Groundhog Day, the movie with Bill Murray, is one of the funniest films of the last three decades, Britney's nude attitude is no laughing matter.

Brit Keeps Toys Ready for the Boys

The following italicized article is taken from www.tmz.com:

Even though Britney Spears was just denied in her bid to get some form of visitation with her sons, as TMZ reported yesterday, she's still hanging on to hope, no matter how slender it might be.

"[Brit] hasn't put the children's belongings away," says "an insider" to Us. "She desperately wants the kids. She cries about it." Apparently, K-Fed and even Brit's parents won't let the momwreck talk to the kids on the phone.

As for J.J. and Sean, it seems that the K-Daddy, their grandparents, and nanny don't talk to them about Mama Brit. "They don't want to get them riled up. They just keep them focused on activities."

Lawyer: Dad Helping Britney's Bid for Visitation

The following italicized article is taken from www.people.com:

What will it take for Britney Spears to regain visitation rights with her two sons? That remains to be seen. But the pop star's tentative reconciliation with her father, Jamie, is a step in the right direction, says Kevin Federline's lawyer.

In fact, attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan was full of praise for the elder Spears, who has emerged as a controversial force in Britney's life recently – and who was front-and-center at Tuesday's family court hearing.

"Jamie Spears's presence is an extreme positive," Kaplan told PEOPLE, adding that the patriarch's continued presence could make it possible "to develop a visitation plan that enables these children to have a mother in their lives."

While Britney's visitation with children Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, was discussed at Tuesday's hearing, there was no official legal progress on the matter. (Spears has not seen her sons since her Jan. 3 standoff with police.) Still, Kaplan said, "[Jamie] brings that day closer. Absolutely."

Jamie's role as temporary co-conservator – overseeing Britney's wellbeing and estimated $100-million fortune – has attracted its share of criticism. His own daughter is apparently seeking legal remedies to regain control and, in a recent interview with PEOPLE, attorney Jon Eardley claimed that Jamie's conservatorship was a "violation of [the singer's] civil rights."

Kaplan, however, sees Jamie's control as a "huge step." "He's building from the ground up," the attorney explained. "[He's] stabilizing the situation, removing people that may not have had [Britney's] best interests at heart."

Does that mean Britney could see her kids again in the near future?

"We all want this as soon as possible," said Kaplan. "That's Kevin's desire – to have his kids visiting their mother. That's everyone's goal in this case."

Britney Spears Hasn't Put Sons' Toys Away

The following italicized article is taken from www.usmagazine.com:

While Britney Spears has developed a devoted following among the children she teaches dance at North Hollywood's Millennium Dance Complex, her own sons may have moved on.

Sean, 2, and Jayden, 17 months, haven't seen their mother since the night of January 3, when she was involuntarily committed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center psych ward. (Relive Spears' days with her boys here.)

Spears' sons now stay full-time with ex Kevin Federline. "They have not been asking about Britney," a Federline source tells Us Weekly in its latest issue.

Nor do the adults in their life – their father, their grandparents, and the nanny – talk about mom. "They don't want to get them riled up," the source says. "They just keep them focused on activities."

Though an insider tells Us that Federline and Spears' parents won't let Britney speak on the phone to her sons either, she remains focused on her sons.

"She desperately wants the kids," a family source tells Us. "She cries about it."

"She hasn't put the children's belongings away," an insider said. "Her home has pictures of her kids everywhere. She loves them very much."

Despite the separation from her children and her ongoing legal woes, Spears' life is changing for the better. "There's been a real change in how she is because she has been smothered in love," a family source tells Us. "To suddenly know after all this time that she has support has been incredible for her."

"She knows that something is wrong with her," a source tells Us. "She knows that something can't quite be right because of the sheer fact she's separated from her kids."

Britney Suffering From Memory Loss?

The following italicized article is taken from www.hollyscoop.com:

Could Britney Spears be suffering from memory loss? This past weekend Spears and her dad Jamie hit up The Social restaurant in Hollywood for some late night grub.

Sources tell Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY that Britney seemed a little dazed and confused while at the restaurant. She hardly touched her food and she went to the bathroom "every 15 minutes." She spent most of the night chain-smoking near the bar.

Our spies overheard Spears asking the general manager of the restaurant "how long they had been open" and "what was upstairs." She complimented the manager on the restaurant and told him she thought it was beautiful inside. The manager, who was clearly confused by her comments, politely replied, "Thank You."

The Social is the same place Britney shot her music video "Piece of Me" back in November of '07. Spears was more than 12 hours late to the shoot but was eventually driven there by douchbag Sam Lutfi. She arrived in her pajamas at 8:35PM and stayed until 6:30AM.

Sadly Britney has no recollection of ever being at the venue. She spent more than 9 hours 'upstairs' shooting her music video but doesn't recall ever being there. Obviously all the drugs that Lutfi admitted giving Spears took a toll on her memory. I wonder if she even recalls half the things she's done while under Lutfi's control?

Brit's Lawyer Says Her License Case is Stalled

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

Britney Spears' lawyer Michael Flanagan tells PageSix.com that her driving without a California license case cannot move forward as long as she is deemed "mentally incompetent."

Flanagan plans to say as much to the judge at tomorrow morning's hearing in Van Nuys, Calif.

He tells us he "hasn't been in contact with Britney due to her current medical situation." While he would settle for an infraction (i.e., violation) on behalf of Britney in this case, "making any other decisions at this point isn't possible, because Commissioner Goetz [the judge in Brit's conservatorship case] has ruled that she isn't mentally competent."

Britney Spears Gets a New Attorney – Again

The following italicized article is taken from www.people.com:

Once again, Britney Spears has a new lawyer: High-profile attorney Stacy D. Phillips became the latest to sign on for the custody case.

Phillips, who was approved by a court commissioner Tuesday, replaced Sorrell Trope, who quit after complaining of problems communicating with the troubled pop star.

A Columbia University law grad, Phillips represented Bobby Brown in his divorce from Whitney Houston, and Tori Spellling's ex, Charlie Shahnaian. She's also a frequent legal analyst in magazines and on television.

She also authored Divorce: It's All About Control, once explaining that, "I've yet to handle a divorce where control was not an issue or at issue."

Phillips becomes Spears's fourth lawyer in her ongoing battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Her first attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned from her case last September shortly after Spears's divorce from Federline was finalized.

Spears then hired the firm Freid & Goldsman, but their relationship ended within days, before retaining Trope, who sought to leave the case, come back, then filed papers again to depart, this time for good.

Cover Story: Inside Britney's Lockdown

The following italicized article is taken from www.ok-magazine.com:

On Feb. 16, Britney Spears, looking calm and healthier than ever, embarked on her first real public outing since being admitted to UCLA's psychiatric unit. Accompanied by her father, Jamie Spears and three associates, the former pop star and this new, slightly older entourage dined together at hot new Hollywood restaurant, Citrus at Social.

But while her father's influence and control seem to be working, sources tell OK! Brit is far from happy with the status-quo. During dinner, eyewitnesses say the singer made several trips to the bathroom, and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but at the trendy hotspot.

"She seemed bored," a restaurant insider tells OK!. "You could see the anger boiling up inside her. I never saw her talk to her dinner companions."

OK! has learned, in fact, that a secret battle is raging between the pop singer and her folks, who are trying to keep her on total lockdown in an attempt to get her life back on track.

Britney's father is not allowing her to drink alcohol, see her friends and insists that she prays in her pajamas every night. Jamie has also been encouraging his daughter to teach childrens' classes at her favorite hangout, Millennium Dance Complex.

So far, Britney has been compliant with her dad's rules, but sources tell OK! that the singer is in the midst of plotting her revenge. Britney has been sending secret text messages to her former party pal and cousin Alli Sims and is reportedly working with her and Sam Lutfi to try to oust her father as her conservator.

"She's rebelling," Millennium owner Robert Baker tells OK!. "She's still not at that point where she's mature enough to understand what her dad is doing and how he's trying so hard to help her. Dad has come to stabilize her, but right now she doesn't want it. She's got that teenage rebellion thing going on."
