Say What? PETA reveals to RadarOnline.com that they will send a "Thank You" note and flowers to the ever-resurrecting princess of pop for choosing to lead an animal-less Circus Tour--The Pussycat Dolls excluded!
In November PETA sent the poptart a letter requesting she leave live animals out of all Circus Tour promotional plans.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk just released this exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com:
"PETA praises Britney for embracing modern animal-free circuses like Cirque du Soleil which spotlight human creativity and talents instead of forcing chained and beaten exotic animals to perform confusing and uncomfortable tricks as they do in one of those outdated Ringling Bros. shows. Now Britney won't risk winding up in court on cruelty charges, while Ringling is in court this week over serious allegations of repeated mistreatment of elephants."
People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals is notorious for witty jibes at pelt donning celebs- like their anti-Olsen twins campaign, 'Trollsen Twins', and of course, protesting fur fiend J.Lo!
In November, a PETA activist threw a flour bomb in fur-clad Lindsay Lohan's face. Flowers sure beat flour any day of the week-- eh Brit?
Enjoy the bouquet!

Sam Lutfi Sues Britney Spears
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:
Sam Lutfi has filed a lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents for libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract
.According to the papers, Sam claims Jamie and Lynn "launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life.
"In the lawsuit, Sam claims he was standing in Britney's kitchen on January 29, 2008 when Jamie stormed into the house. Lutfi alleges Jamie yelled at him, claiming Sam made a rude comment to Lynne the night before. Then, Sam claims, Jamie "intentionally punched him in the chest" and threatened to kill him if he ever heard Sam make a rude comment about Lynne or any member of the Spears family again.
All the claims of libel and defamation spring from Lynne's book, "Through the Storm." Lutfi says since the publication of the book, he "has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn."
Lutfi also claims Britney broke a contract with him and owes him unpaid management fees. He claims he had an oral agreement with Spears to be her manager for four years, earning 15% commission.
Last Friday, Britney was granted a restraining order against Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, barring them from having any contact with her, her parents or her kids.

Osama Lutfi Files A Lawsuit Against The Spears Family!!!!
It's war!
Britney Spears's former manager, Osama Lutfi, has just filed a lawsuit - on Tuesday - against the singer's parents, Jamie & Lynne Spears, PerezHilton.com has learned exclusively.
Why?
For defamation!
Lutfit's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, exclusively tells PerezHilton.com:
“This lawsuit is being brought as a result of the defamation, ridicule and harassment of Sam Lutfi by Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears. A thorough investigation has revealed overwhelming evidence from independent witnesses, showing that Lynne Spears knowingly and maliciously publicized devastating false information about Lutfi which destroyed his reputation, irreparably harmed his career, and subjected him to constant scorn and humiliation.
At the time of the trial in this action, the jury will have an opportunity to weigh the credibility of the witnesses. In doing so, it will be faced with two threshold questions: Why would a supposedly loving mother write a tell all book about the sordid details of two of the most devastating nights of her daughter's life and go on countless talk shows for her own profit? And why would a loving father who deems his daughter to be incompetent, thrust her into a massive world tour only to subject her to the very limelight that threatened to shatter her life, for something other than his own personal gain?
The facts of this case will reveal Jamie and Lynne’s conduct in light of these questions. It will unequivocally explain the motivation of two people who are seemingly willing to destroy anyone and anything that gets in the way of their ability to control and profit from their daughter. Through this action, the truth about Jamie, Lynne and their relentless desire to control Britney Spears and her fortune will be revealed.”
Wow. Wow. Wow.

Ha...Sam Lutfi has drugged Britney, slept in front of her house so that she could not leave it without him, disabled her cars, cut her telephone lines, threw away her cell phone chargers, made Britney to talk to him like a 5 year old girl and hid her dog so that Britney would be in such dispair that she had to beg to get her dog back from him.
Heck, for all I care Jamie could hold a gun to Britney's head and threaten to shoot her if she doesn't do this tour and he would still be a better man then Sam.
Ps: And don't y'all forget, Sam has MULTIPLE restraining orders against him from other people whom he has threatened to kill!

Britney's Former Music Manager Johnny Wright Wishes Britney 'Nothing But The Best'
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:
The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour, Spears' first arena tour in five years, kicks off March 3 in New Orleans. The Pussycat Dolls will also be along for the ride.
And since she'll be touring until June, it's lucky that she won't be needed in court until at least August.
That's when the singer may be called upon to give a deposition in her former manager's lawsuit against her over (what else?) money matters.
Clay Townsend, the attorney representing Florida-based manager Johnny Wright, told E! News following a closed hearing Monday that they are in no hurry to question Spears since their trial isn't on the docket until 2010.
"Johnny Wright still has a lot of affection for Britney," Townsend said. "He was around Britney for a long time, since the Mickey Mouse days and he just wishes the best for her."
Their financial issues were probably due to accounting errors, the lawyer added, and Wright is glad Spears is doing better and ready to head out on tour.
Wright's camp maintains that only Spears can answer certain questions pertaining to her specific aspects of her career and says the deposition can be given with a psychologist present, if the court deems it necessary.
