Sam Lutfi

Long overdue justice was done in court last week.

Britney Spears is free, her conservatorship terminated by the order of Judge Brenda Penny.

This week, Britney Spears' attorney filed a petition to oust her widely reviled father from her conservatorship.

Fans have noted that her new attorney has done more for her in two weeks than so many did in 13 long years.

A catastrophic people in Britney Spears' life took advantage of her, effectively ruining much of her life.

An even larger number of people, courts, and legal systems straight-up failed Britney when she needed them most.

Sam Lutfi, Amanda Bynes' friend and Britney Spears' former "manager," is defending his "work" with the stars in a bizarre open letter that has Spears' camp on high alert.

Sam Lutfi played a key role in engineering the ruse that landed Amanda Bynes in treatment, but is his continued involvement in her saga cause for concern?

Amanda Bynes was thankfully tricked yesterday into flying home to Los Angeles, where she was placed on psychiatric hold involuntarily upon arrival.

The man who helped mastermind this desperately-needed ruse: Sam Lutfi.

Britney Spears and her family have prevailed in court against Sam Lutfi.

A judge dismissed Sam's entire case against the family, finding he presented no evidence that they ever did anything wrong or that he was entitled to any damages.

Britney Spears' ex-nanny is a liar and a fraud, according to the liar/fraud who is suing the pop star.

Sam Lutfi says Leah Frand was fired after a week and wouldn't have had a clue about Spears' drug use, which she denied and which is central to Sam's lawsuit.

One former employee of Britney Spears has rushed to the singer's defense.

With Sam Lufti taking the stand this week in a defamation suit against the singer and her family - claiming Britney overdosed on amphetamines and her dad once beat him up, among other charges - Leah Frand has come out and sent a message to Spears' ex-manager:

Sam Lutfi took the stand yesterday in his defamation suit against Britney Spears and her family, focusing his ire on the singer's father.

The pop star's ex-manager said Jamie Spears sent him a text in 2007 and he's hoping a judge will permit it into evidence during a trial. The message allegedly reads:

Did Britney Spears' ex-manager Sam Lutfi ply her with Adderall from his own prescription?

The shady character testified in his defamation case against the singer and her family today that he never gave her any drugs, despite allegations to the contrary.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel married Friday in Italy, and have been together for so long that his serious relationship with Britney Spears has been all but forgotten.

It's been revisited in unlikely fashion, thanks to Sam Lutfi's lawsuit against Britney.

Britney Spears' former "manager" Sam Lutfi is finally getting his day in court.

In suing for defamation and money he feels he earned during their partnership - her dark period of 2007-08, not coincidentally, Lutfi is making some shocking allegations:

Britney Spears' legal team is ready to come out hard against Sam Lutfi and his lawsuit against her, vehemently denying that he was trying to "save" her from drug addition.

Britney Spears' self-proclaimed former "manager" Sam Lutfi, who is suing her for defamation, claims a drug-sniffing dog found a stash of crystal meth in her home.

Sam Lufti has once again been shot down in his bid to get Britney Spears to testify in his defamation lawsuit against her parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears.

Superior Court Judge Zaven Sinanian refused his attorney's request to have the pop singer undergo an independent psychological evaluation. The reason?

Remember Sam Lutfi? No?

Well, he's the shady, worthless individual who was "managing" Britney Spears when she went off the rails, and apparently the leech still wants a cut.

Didn't see this one coming. Sources in Lindsay Lohan's camp say the person stalking her is none other than Sam Lutfi, Britney Spears' former "manager."

The stalker believed to be Sam has been harassing Lindsay Lohan through text messages and voicemail messages. We had no idea they were acquainted.

Remember Sam Lutfi? Britney Spears' former "manager" and "friend" who is no longer allowed near her by law? We'll, she's not the only one to seek protection.

A permanent restraining order has been slapped against Britney's ex-associate, this time by Samuel Barth. Sam Lutfi can't contact Barth or anyone close to him.

By cutting him off, that is.

Sam Lutfi has filed legal papers in his defamation lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents, Jamie and Lynn, claiming they have ruined "his life."

The Britney Spears conservatorship - since she can't file anything herself of course - has filed a response to ex-leech Sam Lutfi's lawsuit against her.

In a four-page document filed last week, Brit's camp, headed by her dad Jamie Spears and an aptly-named lawyer, Andrew Wallet, shoots down Lutfi's claims.

Sam Lutfi is learning a hard lesson:

You do not f*%k with the conservatorship!

While Britney Spears is busy getting accosted by drunk fans on her Circus tour, a couple of her former clowns are starring in their own shows in L.A.

Spears' ex-manager Sam Lutfi and former boyfriend Adnan Ghalib appeared in separate hearings yesterday. Both shady hangers-on have already been banned from further contact with their former meal ticket through at least 2012.

A judge recently extended Britney Spears' restraining order against former manager Sam Lutfi through 2012, but don't expect him to go quietly into the night.

Lutfi has filed an appeal challenging the ruling and denying that there is a legal need to keep him 100 feet from the embattled pop superstar at all times.
