Britney Spears' dad claims allegations that he battered Sam Lutfi last year are completely bogus -- because Jamie Spears believes he had a legal right to beat his ass if he wanted to ... but Jamie is coy about whether he actually did it.
In legal papers filed today, Jamie is very careful to not admit he punched Lutfi in the chest at Brit's house last year -- as Lutfi suggested in a recent lawsuit. However, Jamie says the law allows him to open a can of whoop ass if the situation calls for it -- and according to the docs, the Lutfi situation called for it.
Jamie claims "he was provoked" by Lutfi and was "privileged to use force in and about the matter complained."
He adds, "Any necessary force may be used to protect from wrongful injury the person or property of oneself, or a wife, husband, child, parent or other relative or member of one's family."

The lawyer who tried to torpedo the Britney Spears conservatorship has just filed legal papers, contesting the restraining order issued against him and asking for a new trial ... this time by jury.
Jon Eardley, along with Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, are bound by restraining orders after the conservators convinced a judge they were harassing Britney and her family.
Now Eardley says a jury should have made that decision and wants a new trial.
We're guessin' anyone who doesn't drink Fanta is out of the jury box.

BETTE MIDLER is urging BRITNEY SPEARS to follow in her footsteps and headline a Las Vegas residency.
Midler kicked off her own Sin City set, The Showgirl Must Go On, this year (09), replacing Celine Dion at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Spears, currently making her pop comeback with a world tour, has been tipped for her own Vegas show - and Midler is convinced she has what it takes, provided she avoids the party temptations the city has on offer.
Offering Spears some advice in an interview with the NYPost.com's PopWrap blog, Midler says, "Don't drink, keep your body up, do your vocal warm-ups every day and be happy to see the people. They're not a burden, they're happy to see you, be happy to see them."

According to her cousin, Britney Spears has often revealed that she would love "to do something normal", such as becoming a school teacher.
Alli Sims, who grew up with Britney and worked as an assistant to Spears in 2007, says that star would often speak of doing something less public, and had even considered quitting her career in music to work with children.
"Britney would always say, 'Maybe I just want to be a teacher," Sims told Reveal magazine. "'I just want to do something on a normal level. I've been something big for so long.'"
Britney famously suffered a breakdown last year, following a divorce, the loss of custody of her two sons, and constant hounding from the paparazzi.
You can nominate Britney's amazing Circus music video in the Favourite International Video category at this year's Much Music Awards. Much Music already picked 4 nominees in the category (they are Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl, Lady Gaga's Poker Face, the Jonas Brothers' Burnin' Up and Lil' Wayne's A Milli) and they ask you to designate the 5th nominee. So we all know Circus is much better than all the already listed videos right?

Britney Spears is reportedly planning to change the setlist for her upcoming European live dates.
The star, who kicks off her mini-residency at London's O2 arena on June 3, is expected to alter parts of 'The Circus: Starring Britney Spears' with new mixes and dance routines.
Writing on Twitter, her manager confirmed: "Should be getting some dope remixes for the show today. Brits going to rework and choreograph a few numbers for Europe."
Spears is rumoured to be considering performing her 2007 single 'Gimme More', which was not included in her North American shows.
The tour, which has so far amassed a gross revenue of $50 million (£33 million), was recently extended to include dates in Ireland and continental Europe.
Britney's assistant, Brett, sent in this picture of one of Britney's favorite snacks lately: Oatmeal Cranberry Dunkers with White Fudge Drizzle from Trader Joe's.

Britney Spears has reportedly demanded that she be flown to Manchester in a private jet when she performs in Britain next month.
The 'Womanizer' singer, who plays a mini-residency at London's O2 arena before doing a single night in Manchester, has refused to stay overnight in the northern city and will leave directly after the show.
"She has decided she will travel by private plane to Manchester - then fly straight back to London," a source told the Daily Star.
Spears has reportedly detailed an extensive rider for her short stay in the country.
"Britney may only be staying in the city for two weeks but she knows exactly what she wants," the source added.
Among the singer's demands are a room that has never been smoked in, fresh flowers that she will arrange herself, a variety of the latest magazines, DVDs featuring Marilyn Monroe and a selection of topical, chick-lit books.
She has also requested horse riding and running sessions in Hyde Park and a different route to her venue each night to deter paparazzi from following her.
Tickets for Britney Spears’ concert went on sale at Finnish ticket agencies and were sold in a matter of hours. In fact, the entire concert was almost sold out by the evening.
At that point, only a few tickets in the cheapest EUR 99 category were available, as the more expensive tickets had been sold right away.
A total of some 40 special seats carried a hefty price tag of EUR 400, while some special seats were also available for EUR 300 and EUR 250.
Britney Spears is to take the stage at the Helsinki Arena on July 16th.
This is the artist’s first visit to Finland. The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour was launched in the USA in March.
Britney Spears just added a third performance at Bercy in Paris to her European tour! The new show will take place on Saturday, July 4th and tickets go on sale on Friday, May 15th.

Sam Lutfi faced off against Britney Spears's legal team – and lost, slapped with a three-year restraining order last month.
His wallet may be taking a hit next.
Lawyers for the singer asked a Los Angeles court last Friday to order Lutfi, who once was her manager, to pay $123,142 to cover Spears's legal fees for the courtroom battle over the restraining order.
In addition, her lawyers are seeking $129,922 from Jon Eardley, an attorney who has challenged Jamie Spears's control over his daughter, and $72,292 from her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Both Eardley and Ghalib were also ordered to stay away from the pop star.

Britney Spears former husband Kevin Federline is having to move because he can’t afford to live on $40,000 a month, a new report claims. Britney Spears’ ex-husband is allegedly having a tough time making ends meet, according to a report in the National Enquirer.
The magazine claims K-Fed blows the $40K he gets from the pop princess every month – and has gone through the $2 million he got when the former couple sold their Malibu home. The Enquirer claims he spends $2000 a month on food, $1500 a month on utilities, $2800 a month on a nanny for the couple’s two sons and $3000 a month on bodyguards.
The report claims he also has a fully stocked bar, allegedly spending up to $800 a month on top-shelf booze. His five-bedroom home in Tarzana, just north of Los Angeles, also costs a whopping $7500 a month to rent.
Even ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson takes a cut, according to the item, as K-Fed pays the household bills for her and his two children with her. He has also reportedly been pouring tens of thousands of dollars into making a second CD, even though his first one was a flop. Now he is set to move from Tarzana to the less expensive area of Chatsworth, the magazine says.

Time for some summer lovin'!
Our girl Brit has performed her heart out on the Circus tour, but before she begins the European leg, girl needs some rest! The "If U Seek Amy" singer is back in LA, and she's not alone! That's her longtime agent slash BFF Jason Trawick driving around in Brit's Mercedes with her this weekend.
The twosome didn't even stop for food or gas... in over two hours! Hmm, they must've been having a pretty compelling convo. We can't help but wonder (and we've been wondering for a while!), are these two more than just friends?

Justin Timberlake admitted to sleeping with ex-girlfriend Britney Spears on yesterday’s episode of Saturday Night Live (in so many words).
During one of the comedy sketches, the 28-year-old Sexyback singer poked fun at himself by playing a fictitious ancestor of his — immigrant Cornelius Timberlake — and predicting the future.
Justin spouted off, saying, “I’d like to think that at first, he’ll date a popular female singer (Britney Spears). Publicly, they’ll claim to be virgins. But privately, he hit it.”
He continued joking: “Then, he’ll make love with women so beautiful and so often that it won’t be enough for him and he’ll, I don’t know, try some stuff with guys. I mean, he’ll be straight! Forget that part! Everything is true except that part!”

Oh my...someone using Britney to get publicity for himself? I'm shocked...
After 2 months on the road with her tour The Circus starring Britney Spears, our dear Britney Spears has successfully completed the first leg of her touring plans. Earlier this week, Britney played her last North American show in Montreal, Qc Canada and has already returned home to SoCal to rest and relax for a bit before she flies off to the UK to begin the second leg of her tour next month. Here are a couple pics of Britney’s arrival in SoCal this week: I can imagine that Brit Brit is really lookin’ forward to some downtime off the road, back home in her own digs. But, there really is no rest for the weary … Britney’s manager Adam Leber just posted a tweet to his official Twitter profile letting us know that there are plans to rework and rechoreograph a few numbers for the European leg of the tour (which starts up on June 3 when Britney plays 8 dates in London). It’s pretty amazing that Britney is still up for working this hard, after this stretch of touring. True, some bands tour for longer than 3 months at a time and still manage to soldier on but considering the state Britney was in just a little over a year ago? Yeah, I’m very impressed. Rest up, Britney! And keep up the great work!
For days/weeks/months I've been hearing y'all say: OMG I can't believe they force Britney to release 'Radar'...OMG I can't believe they won't let Britney put her own written songs on her album...OMG I can't believe they make Britney lipsync.....
For Christ's sake...does it ever occur to you that she might make those desicions?
Just look at the video..look how passionate she is about this album...does she look like she's being forced to release it?
Britney is Jive's #1 artist...what she wants she gets...yes, they can force her to go on stage but they cant force her to actually do somethin' on stage...she can just stand still on the stage and not do anything...they can force her to go to music video shoots but they cant force her to do anything when the camera is rolling, she can just stand there looking angry at camera....they can force her to go to a recording studio but they cant actually make her sing...
And maybe Britney herself chose 'Radar' because she likes it...maybe it's one of her favourite tracks...
Maybe she made the decision not to sing live because she knows it would be impossible to sing live during Radar, Piece Of Me, Get Naked, Toxic, BOMT, MATM, Boys, IUSA, Touch Of My Hand and Hot As Ice..maybe she was the one who said 'I wanna put on a show...a spectacle..I dont wanna sing every song live'...
And the set list...Britney said in that little interview in September/October on Britney.com that she couldn't wait to tour because she really wanted to use the songs on Blackout and Circus seeing as how she didn't have the chance to tour earlier...and voila..the set list consits mainly out of songs from Blackout and Circus...and guess what...the one's who don't like the set list say: Oh she was forced to do those songs..Im sure Britney prefers the songs I WANT on the set list...
And maybe Britney is the one who chose not to include some of her own written songs on the album...we all know Britney isn't the best writer out there...we all know her dance songs wouldn't do well...maybe she only wrote 10 ballads...seeing as how Britney wants to dance which she says in the interview above she chose the songs produced and written by other people because they're better...Britney's been doing this for 10 years now...she knows what makes a hit...look at Circus it was #3..her 3rd biggest hit of her entire career...and look at IUSA..it was #19...doing better then 14 other Britney singles...
Just because Britney doesn't do what you want her to doesn't mean she's being controlled...it probably means she doesn't like a certain song as much as you do....
And yes, Britney isn't doing a lot of interviews these days..and why should she?
Y'all say 'oh but she doesn't have to talk abou what happened in '07'...really? But if that's so then why did y'all criticise her for not talking about everything that happened in 'For The Record'? For The Record was an interview but y'all criticised her for not talking openly about 2007.
And that puts her in a though position. She can either go on a talk show and talk about everything resulting in her probably crying and being a mess and feeling depressed and y'all would slaughter her for reacting that way...or she can go on a talk show and talk like nothing happened and get slaughtered by you and the press for acting as if nothing happened...
Even with the incident on stage the other day...I was stunned by the reacting some of you people had...'Oh my why does she react so weird...whats wrong with her'...SHE'S UNDER A CONSERVATORSHIP FOR A REASON YALL!
To close it off I'm just gonna say one more thing and then I'll end my little rant..y'all say 'Why cant she be like 2003 Britney and be open and stuff...it must be Jamie forcing her to be quiet'...COME ON!
I would like to see if y'all would still be the same person if you went through what Britney went through...not only does your personality naturally changes from 22 to 27 but she's also been through a lot of stuff....
Would you still be the same person you are now if you shaved your head, got followed by the paparazzi 24/7 for years, lost custody of your children, got drugged by someone you thought was a friend of yours, having a mental breakdown, being slammed by the press for years and years, being wheeled out of your house strapped to a gurney while having CNN cover it live?
Can you honestly say that after that you would still be the same person you are now?

Singer Ciara insists she can’t wait to support Britney Spears on the European leg of her Circus world tour.
The 1, 2 Step hitmaker says joining the Toxic star on-stage will be her “biggest” challenge.
“Supporting Britney Spears in the UK this summer will be my biggest challenge yet,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to sharing the stage and rocking out with Brit.
“I’ve got some amazing outfits to rival her own.
“The round Circus-themed stage is so much work as you really have to make full use of the space.
“But I’m definitely going to give you 100 per cent in effort and energy.”
Source: Showbiz Spy
Rival Britney? Seriously...you're gonna rival a woman who has been around for 10 years and has sold 90 million albums?
Lemme explain it for ya...Ya could go on stage naked and give head to every dude in the audience and people would still be on their phones until Britney comes up.
Ps: Does the idea of a WOMAN giving a male Britney fan head make anyone else laugh uncontrollably?
As Amy's corpse is starting to smell funny some fans are trying to revive it by holding a voting week for it on the radio.
Will it be succesful? Who knows...it's kinda like Micheal Jackson's nose jobs. The chances of it getting worse are 99,99% but deep down inside ya keep hoping that one day he'll look like a human being again instead of E.T.
So...interested in doing a lil' surgery on Amy's nose? If so then click on the following link to vote for Amy on you local radio station:
