Feeling strong and confident, Britney Spears does not see the need in extending her restraining order against one time manager/pal Sam Lutfi, saying that they will never be friends again.
According to reports, the one-time inseparable pair have had no contact since February - when Britney’s mom Lynn Spears accused Lutfi of drugging her daughter. At that time Jamie (Britney’s father) was granted legal control of her affairs as temporary conservator.
Getting a short break from filming her new movie “Labor Pains”, Lindsay Lohan was out gallivanting around the city - shopping and dining out with gal pal Samantha Ronson on Saturday (June 28).
During their journey, Lindsay and Sam were spotted at Barney’s New York in Beverly Hills - buying up a few items before exiting the store with huge smiles on their faces.

When Britney Spears’ former (and perhaps current) manager Larry Rudolph said that she was poised for a comeback, he wasn’t kidding.
The “Piece of Me” songstress was spotted toning her body at a private training session at Los Angeles health club Bally’s Total Fitness.
Wow, weave #34. That was some genuine horsehair. Here's a snap of Sam Lutfi back in the good ole' days when he was drugging Britney Spears and using her money to buy any sort of item at the gas station he wanted. It was all Slim Jims, Blow-Pops, Durex condoms, Seventeen magazine and those fake roses that when you open them are actually panties. No, they seriously make those. I've seen them. Panty roses! Sam Lutfi says he's "cooperating" with Britney's family's efforts to keep his ass away from her.
Lawyers for Lutfi and Brit's family met in court, as the judge extended the restraining order against him until July 31. He has been ordered by the courts to stay away from her since February.
"Sam and the family are communicating and cooperating trying to do what's best for Britney," Lutfi's spokesman, Michael Sands, said.
Britney's Mom Lynne Spears has accused Sam of giving her daughter Risperdal, a sleeping medication, and Seroquel, an anti-psychotic drug. Lutfi has admitted that he did give Britney a handful of sleeping pills, but says that she was down with it.
Sam's probably been eating Ramen and not being able to afford male escorts since February and he's looking forward to July when he can try and get his meal ticket back.
Here are some pics of Britney going to the gym. Stop laughing. Mean.

The restraining order against Sam Lutfi, the svengali-like guy who controlled and verbally abused Britney Spears, bragging to her mother that he would mash up psychiatric drugs and mix them with her food, has been extended until July 31. People Magazine notes that it’s possible that the restraining order can be extended for years, essentially keeping Lutfi out of Britney’s life for the foreseeable future.
Last month one of Britney’s former assistants told In Touch a chilling tale of being contacted by Lutfi in early 2007 before he had made contact with the pop star. He grilled Britney’s assistant for a half hour, trying to figure out how to insert himself into Britney’s life. The woman got the creeps and left. She says that a few months after she stopped working for Britney she saw a picture online of Sam with Britney she “got a chill down [her] spine” because she found him “stalkerish” and did her best to keep him away from her employer.
It’s clear that Lutfi planned to gain access to Britney and her fortune, and took extreme advantage of under the guise of helping. Thank goodness her father is looking out for her now.
Britney has rehired her old manager Larry Rudolph and was seen at the recording studio and the gym yesterday. It might be a little soon for Britney to jump back into her career, but she has to keep busy and it could help her if she has her music to focus on now.
Britney’s father’s conservatorship lasts until July 31, and People Magazine reports that it is likely to be extended beyond that. The tabloids were ran stories last week about how Britney was drinking again, but it was wine with dinner and the tales seemed a bit overblown so I kind of shrugged and didn’t cover it. She deserves a little break whether she wants one or not.

After months of keeping quiet regarding charges that he drugged Britney Spears and that he was the main cause of her increasingly erratic behavior, former friend Sam Lutfi issued a statement today through his spokesperson Michael Sands denying the allegations.
Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears filed a temporary restraining order against Lutfi on their daughter's behalf on February 1, 2008, and it was mama Lynne who swore in a declaration that Lutfi was drugging the pop princess.
"The allegations and the declaration in the temporary restraining order are untrue and have not been proven," said Lutfi's spokesman Michael Sands.
The next hearing is scheduled for April 16, 2008.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
He’s at the center of the Britney Spears breakdown controversy, and Sam Lutfi is expected to be legally kept from seeing the pop singer for yet another month.
The temporary restraining order on Lutfi was scheduled to expire today, but Jamie and Lynn Spears have taken measures to extend it for 30 days.
With the restraining order that was placed on him last month set to expire on Monday, Sam Lutfi has agreed to keep his distance from Britney Spears for yet another month. People magazine is reporting that Lutfi is consenting to this arrangement, in order to avoid facing off with Britney's family in court. Sam has been accused by Britney's mother of verbally abusing her daughter, as well as drugging her, claims which are being looked into by the LAPD.
Since Jamie Spears has taken control over his daughter's affairs, he's extricated Sam from Britney's life and she has enjoyed numerous supervised visits with her sons. Additionally, she also had a guest spot on the sit-com, How I Met Your Mother.
Looks like Sam's doing a lot more walking these days and a lot less sitting shotgun in someone else's Mercedes. That makes me happy. This, however, just confuses me.

Britney’s ex-”manager”/hanger on Sam Lutfi avoided being served a restraining order until the last possible moment, with a judge having to rule that it was still valid a day after the time ran out to present it to him. Now there’s news that he’s going to fight the order, with March 17 court date to present his twisted side of the story. The current restraining order against Lutfi lasts until March 17.
Sam supposedly said that he will call Britney to the witness stand to personally attest that she wants him back in her life and that she’s sick of her father controlling her. The News of the World quotes him as saying “I am going to call Britney to the stand so she can tell the world how I was helping her. I am innocent. I am Britney’s friend and would never hurt her.”
One of Britney’s old assistants has a different story about Lutfi. Kalie Machado worked for Britney for three months starting in December, 2006. She says that Sam contacted her and asked her a bunch of personal questions about Britney before he was able to meet her and insert himself into her life. He first arranged a meeting with Machado with the excuse that he was a private investigator and had “incriminating evidence” against the star. Instead of presenting anything to the assistant, he then asked a bunch of weird questions about Britney’s schedule and how to contact her. Machado left soon afterwards, and it sounds like she got a very creepy vibe from Lutfi. She says that she saw a picture of Lutfi with Britney months later and she was amazed to see that it was the weirdo who was trying to get to Britney through her:
Kalie Machado claims that while she was Britney’s assistant, she received a call from a man “at a restricted number” who said he was a private investigator working for Brit’s ex husband Kevin Federline. That man was Sam. “He said he had incriminating evidence on Britney and he was going to hand it over to me,” she recalls. “We arranged to meet in a Santa Monica Starbucks.”
Kalie was nervous, so she brought her roommate with her. She says she spent 20 minutes listening to Sam talk and when she demanded to see the evidence, he instead “asked all kinds of stalkerish questions - like when we leave the house and where Britney and I went.”
Finally, Kalie realized that Sam had nothing and left. “I got more calls from Sam after that,” she remembers, “but I just ignored them.”
Kalie stopped working for Britney… in February, 2007 and moved to San Francisco. Months later, she says she saw a photo on the Internet that made her stomach drop. “It was Britney, standing next to the man I met in Starbucks - Sam Lutfi. I got a chill down my spine.”
[From In Touch, print edition, March 10, 2008]
Machado says she’s happy to learn about the restraining order against Lutfi and that she “just want(s) to warn Britney - and other people - to make sure they stay away. Sam is a creep.”
There are plenty of other people who attest to the manipulative and abusive way Lutfi treats his “friends”. Before Britney, he had at least three other restraining orders against him and was accused of threatening and verbally abusing a male friend after the man started to pull away from him. Many people blame Lutfi for Britney’s rapid downfall and the way that she lost custody of her boys to her ex husband.
Lutfi bragged to Britney’s mother that he would mash up psychiatric drugs and mix them into her food. It’s possible that much of her erratic behavior over the past few months was due to being overmedicated by Lutfi against her knowledge. She certainly has psychological problems on her own, but it’s clear that she’s much better off under the guardianship of her father. Let’s hope Lutfi’s transparent plan to gain influence over Britney again is shot down in court in two weeks.

There is a glimmer of sunshine in the gloomy story that is Britney Spears' life. A federal judge has ordered that the restraining order against Sam lufti will be extended through March 17th. The former "manager" of young Ms. Spears has been served with legal papers.
An investigation by the LAPD is continuing to move forward, to determine whether or not Sam has been drugging Brit. Reportedly, Lutfi has attempted to have his legal rep challenge the service of process of the papers issuing the restraining order extension, but no dice.
This guy totally skeeves me out and God only knows what he's capable of. I wish we could sic "Dexter" on him.
Yesterday, paparazzi agency X17 reported that they called the Los Angeles police department and were assured that a story originating with TMZ about an active investigation into the alleged drugging of Britney’s Spears by her hanger-on, Sam Lutfi, was false. As X17 seems to have a relationship with Lutfi to secure photos of Britney and hasn’t reported anything negative about him, we weren’t so ready to accept their claims as accurate.
TMZ then ran another story with more details into the investigation, saying that it was “well underway” and that it has “been assigned to Robbery Homicide” in order to avoid any leaks to the media. They claim that witnesses have already been interviewed, and that the investigation was put on hold because of the unrelated death of a police officer, but that it was “back on track.”
It sounds like they have an inside source that is feeding them these details, which don’t come off like they’re fabricated. Radar Online looked into it, though, and the LAPD spokesperson denied up and down that there’s any investigation:
“We don’t have anything,” a spokesperson for the LAPD tells Radar. Then she put us on hold and rang the Major Crimes Department to double check but returned a few minutes later to confirm that the department is not investigating Lutfi. She vowed to look further into the claim to see if any division was investigating Lutfi but said, “I don’t see any concrete evidence of a report on file. I don’t even know if there’s a crime that has occurred.”
[From RadarOnline]
Meanwhile Lutfi’s rep, Michael Sands, has said the TMZ report is not true, and it sound like he was initially confused by TMZ head Harvey Levin into commenting on it before he had a chance to look into it:
TMZ claimed Sands was aware of the investigation, but Sands has since blasted out e-mails to media calling the TMZ report dead wrong. “I suggest that TMZ and others know what they are speaking about before writing stories,” Sands wrote earlier today. He says TMZ chief Harvey Levin had told him about the alleged investigation before others at TMZ called asking for comment. “I was playing along,” he says.
[From RadarOnline]
Lutfi’s rep also says that Britney’s mom Lynne helped Lutfi get a deal representing a jewelry company called Diamond Hybrid, and that “I don’t know why Lynne now wants to poison the world against Sam.”
Lutfi has still not been served papers notifying him of the restraining order against him.
Despite the fact that TMZ annoys me on a daily basis, I hope they’re right about this and that there is an investigation underway that the LAPD is trying to keep under wraps. If this was just a non-celebrity, they probably wouldn’t do much with a case like this, because it seems hard to prove. You would hope that these allegations would be taken seriously and investigated no matter who was involved, though. This is a woman who was in the psychiatric ward twice, and if her erratic behavior could be due to massive doses of drugs given to her without her knowledge, that seems like something that needs to looked into and prosecuted.
Britney is shown out getting her hair done on 2/19/08. Two photographers were arrested that night after a scuffle outside the salon. She didn’t wear panties then, either, but thankfully we don’t have those photos. Cops arrested two more photographers outside of Villa nightclub a little later that night, and it looks like the LA police are starting to crack down on the paparazzi. TMZ head Harvey Levin says he doesn’t understand why they chose those two photographers outside of Villa, because they were not doing any harm and it was not a dangerous situation.

Watch out, Osama! The cops are on your pill trail! Sources are saying that their is indeed an investigation underway as to whether or not Sam Lufti was drugging Britney Spears. I understand the constant prescence of Starbuck's now. Brit's parents don't eff around though, huh? The case has been assigned to LAPD's Robbery/Homicide division, due to the intense media speculation. And police are questioning several witnesses as to the presence of any drugs in Britney's system when she was last committed. How are they going to see past all the weave glue she's inhaled? That's going to mess up the tests! The investigation will reportedly be resolved in March.
This is some total Hollywood glitz. You can't write this stuff. When will Victor Newman realize that Osama Lufti was drugging him, too! He didn't have epilepsy. Sam was putting percocet in his Americano blend!
Ever since Britney was photographed rehearsing at the Millennium dance studio over the weekend, speculation is running wild that the mentally ill singer is planning on going back to work. Page Six says they have an inside source who revealed that Jamie and Lynne Spears are encouraging their daughter to get back into dancing and performing as a way to keep her distracted from contacting Sam Lutfi.
It looks like Britney Spears’ family will do anything to get her away from her “friends” Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib - including putting the pill-popping poptard on tour. The buzz at the Grammys was that Spears’ newfound focus on her dancing is preparation for a world tour. Britney “will be leaving the country in the next few weeks,” a source confided to Page Six. “She’ll train in privacy for a month, then go on a global tour.”
While it is probably a good idea to keep Britney busy, there is no way the fragile pop star is ready for the grueling pace of a world tour. Anyone who doubts this needs to revisit her performance at the MTV VMAs. Besides, her backbreaking schedule was probably a major factor in her ongoing illness in the first place– many of her close friends say that she first started showing signs of erratic behavior during her Onyx Hotel Tour, during which she injured her knee and then met, sent for, and married Kevin Federline. Do her parents really need to send her on a repeat of that whole mess?
Most likely, Page Six is incorrect. I’d guess that Britney is getting ready to make another crappy music video. But as long as it keeps her from car-hopping with Adnan or getting back in with Sam Lutfi, it can’t be all bad.

I’m outraged at the way that US Weekly handling the Sam Lutfi case now that the news is out about how much of a twisted manipulative person he is. They’ve just posted an article about how Lutfi’s side of the story is going to be the main focus of their cover story all about Britney’s problems. Lutfi repeatedly uses examples and stories to make himself seem like Britney’s savior and like he’s the only one who can help her, when in fact he’s been emotionally abusing her and cutting her off from her friends and family. He disabled all her cars, threw away her cell phone chargers, and admitted to her mother than he routinely mashes up medication and slips it into her food without her knowledge! This man made Britney a prisoner in her own home, and now US Weekly is all too willing to make him out to be the good guy because he’s willing to talk to them. The very serious and seemingly supported allegations against Lutfi are relegated to one sentence in parentheses by US. They barely question him or his motives, and their print article is sure to be as one-sided and idiotically fawning over the man who abused Britney as their Internet version.
Sam Lutfi, who is now on the receiving end of a restraining order imposed by Britney Spears’ parents, was the one person by her side as she unraveled over the past six months.
In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, Spears’ de facto manager and confidant opens up about her bipolar disorder, how he medicated her, what happened the night she was hospitalized, and how her parents reacted.
“In the depressive episodes, it’s all crying,” Lutfi tells Us. “But in the manic episode, there’s very little crying or sympathy or compassion. She becomes another person. She becomes somebody that just doesn’t care about anybody or anything.”
“The British accent is part of the mania,” he adds. “She’ll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it… But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it’s getting bad.”
Lutfi says that when Spears was involuntarily committed to treatment at UCLA Medical Center on January 31, her mom, Lynne Spears, arrived and tried to remove her daughter from his guidance. “Well, he is better family than you guys will ever be,” Spears responded, according to Lutfi.
Lutfi tells Us that he gave Britney “a handful of pills” before her parents arrived. “I said these pills are working wonders, they are miracle pills,” he recalls. Spears, Lutfi says, agreed that the meds were helping her sleep.
(In their restraining order against Lutfi filed yesterday, Spears’ parents accuse him of drugging their daughter and being verbally abusive. Jamie, who has been named as his daughter’s conservator, “is doing what he has to do to save Britney,” a source tells Us.)
Spears is one of nearly six million American adults suffering from bipolar disorder, a mental illness consisting of extreme shifts in mood, thought, energy, and behavior patterns.
Lutfi, 33, tells Us only he, Spears, and her psychiatrist know what brought on her bipolar disorder “roughly five years ago.”
[From Us Weekly]
Lutfi tells a story about how Britney wrote him a little note when she was taken away, as if that justifies the way he’s tried to keep Britney captive and has been drugging her for months.
I made an anonymous comment on this article, something I rarely bother to do, but there are many more that are much better than mine and people are outraged. One of my favorites is from Michelle, she says:
US Weekly - Stop giving this sick man a voice. Stop letting him speak through your magazine. He is a sick, twisted individual. A liar. Nothing he can say will validate what he’s done. He deserves to be jailed or sued or even better yet killed, and you let him continue spreading his malicious lies. He should have tried to help her, he should be grateful she is getting help if he truly cares about her. Instead he is like a 2 year old who’s angry their toy got taken away. Of course Britney was asking for him, etc. He made her completely dependent on him. He brainwashed her, drugged her, insulted her, encouraged her insanity. She has no idea what she needs or probably even what she’s thinking or saying half the time. And that is his defense? That Britney wants him in her life? And that she hates her parents? Please! She can’t even think straight, he’s made sure of that. I say hang the f*cker in a public place.
What’s more is that one of Britney’s friends, Ken Dungey, commented on the article and mentioned the bragging text messages Sam sent him about how he has total control over Britney, which are now available at Bitten and Bound. Dungey said he had over an hour long telephone interview with a source at US:
US WEEKLY TELEPHONE INTERVIEWED ME LAST WEEK FOR OVER AN HOUR, ALEXIS SAID MY INTERVIEW WOULD BE COMING OUT IN NEXT WEEKS MAGAZINE, I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM HER.
You can read Dungey’s full story online. He’s a friend of the guy who was harassed mercilessly by Lutfi, who ultimately ended up taking out a restraining order on him. He also knows another woman who Lutfi was sending threatening text messages to.
So US had both sides of the story, but they chose to go with Lutfi’s despite the overwhelming evidence against him. People are calling for criminal charges against this guy. Instead all we get from US is an article about the supposed insider who knows about Britney’s mental illness - a weakness he exploited every way possible to gain control over her and plaster his name all over the media. Shame on you, US. Change your story before it goes to print.
Lutfi is also trying to shop around a high-paid television interview where “he is expected to reveal the star’s darkest secrets.” The only people that should be hearing about Britney’s secrets are his fellow inmates.
There’s no doubt that Britney Spears’ parents are horrified at how their daughter has been living as of late, and they’re finally doing something about it. Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, went to an emergency court hearing yesterday and was granted temporary legal control over his daughter.
What this means, specifically, is that Mr. Spears has authority to “prosecute any civil harassment restraining orders.” And according to court rep Allan Parachini, “There was a civil harassment restraining order issued against Sam Lutfi, but the specifics of that order are unknown.”
It’s almost like a scene out of a lame high school memory. Reportedly Britney Spears’ manager/pal Sam Lutfi and her boyfriend Adnan Ghalib both have it out for each other.
According to a source, Sam is trying to “protect” Britney from the paparazzo’s negative influence. He allegedly text messaged Adnan, “You’re a manic trigger. If you continue to have any contact, you’ll kill her. It’s your decision.”
As a follow up to the Gossip Girls article about Britney Spears’ mother, Lynne, showing up at LAX on Sunday, it looks like she was coming to town to see the “Gimme More” singer.
Last night started off pretty rocky for Brit, with her manager/pal Sam Lufti trying to get her to see her mother, as well as a psychologist. And Lufti didn’t want her to see her boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, either.
It’s hard to follow what’s going on with Britney lately, and part of me really doesn’t want to bother, but the main thing is that she was photographed crying and sitting on the curb after her friend Sam Lufti was seen publicly berating her, presumably over her relationship with Adnan. She called Adnan and left a message asking him to come by and help her out, but he could not reach her, presumably because Lufti had turned off her handful of phones. Then Adnan tried to get into Britney’s estate, but the security guard wouldn’t let him in on Lufti’s orders. Cops were called because some of the photographers were rushing the gates. Britney eventually hung out with another photographer instead, and both her parents came over to help her out.
Here’s a good breakdown of what happened, thanks to jughood on ONTD:
-Brit and her manager Sam had a huge fight in a car outside her gated community.
-Brit got out the car, crying, and pleads with the photogs to leave her along. Video can be found on TMZ and x17’s websites. It’s very upsetting footage.
-Flipie, the photog, picks up Brit and drives her to her home, then leaves. Brit calls Adnan saying “Baby, can you come get me?”
-Police show up after photogs try to enter the gated community, and leave a short time later.
-Most surprising news, BRITNEY’S PARENTS SHOW UP. “The scene inside Britney’s home right now is not pretty. Apparently Britney is very emotional and cannot stop crying. Both of her parents — mom Lynne and father Jamie — are with her now.” It was reported earlier today that she had begun communicating with them a little bit.
-Adnan shows up, but gets denied access to her gated community.
-Brit heads off towards Beverly Hills with photog Filipe, goes to Ralph’s grocery store, then meets up with Adnan, and speeds down the freeway….Updates: Sam Lutfi, Britney’s manager, started an argument with her and the two ended up in a screaming fight. Sam continued to verbally abuse Britney as she sat barefoot on the curb at her Summit home crying holding her dog London.
Britney called Adnan for help and he heard the distress in her voice and drove to the Summit immediately. While outside the gates he was denied access as Sam Lutfi had informed the guards that he was not allowed entry. When Adnan then tried to call Britney it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off…
When Jamie Spears turned up, the guards would not let him in, as Sam Lutfi would not let anyone get near Britney’s house. It was only after photographers standing outside explained the situation and who he was that Jamie was allowed access to The Summit home. He looked extremely distressed.
More details about what went down tonight: Sam screamed “Go fuck your Paparazzi boyfriend!” before speeding off. A teary eyed Spears sat on the curb holding her Yorkshire terrier ‘London’ and sporting what looked like a red mark on her face. Minutes after, Spears had driven down to her house, paparazzo boyfriend Adnan turned up at the gates of The Summit only to be denied access. The security at the Summit have been ordered by Sam not to let Ghalib in through the gates. Hoards of police arrived, and helicopters circled overhead…
Finalpixx, Adnan’s photog company, just posted “Britney is spending her evening in the company of her parents and Adnan.”
[From ONTD]
The news recently came out that Britney’s hanger-on Sam has three restraining orders against him and a long history of making threats of violence against people. One of his ex friends said that Lufti manipulated him emotionally and made threats against his family. It’s interesting that Sam’s relationship with Britney came to a head right after his was published:
There are at least two other outstanding restraining orders against Lutfi. Documents for both cases demonstrate his violent temper. This third case, however, raises deeper and more chilling questions about Lutfi’s character, and about his relationship with Britney….
Haines says their relationship was not romantic or sexual but that Lutfi was more jealous than a lover. He could be supportive one day and vicious the next, leaving voicemails tracing extremes from “You’re a worthless motherfucker” to “I love you, man. I love you to death.” He says that although Lutfi also made some feckless gestures toward an old-fashioned con job—Haines claims Lutfi borrowed about $18,000 that he did not pay back, though Lutfi’s mother finally settled much of the debt—Lutfi reserved most of his energy for emotional blackmail and extortion. “Everybody hates you,” he wrote to Haines, suggesting that Haines should just kill himself: “Seriously, sleeping pills, LOTS of them … ” (Lutfi declined to comment for this story.)
When Haines finally cut the cord, Lutfi humiliated him. He e-mailed naked photographs of Haines to his family, friends, colleagues and employer. Then he texted and called incessantly, telling Haines he hoped his sister would be “raped to death,” according to the restraining order. In an e-mail about Haines’s mother (“that Mormon bitch”), Lufti wrote, “I hope Satan devours her flesh and bones,” and said he looked forward to the day when he would “piss on [her] burial.”

TMZ has video of Britney walking around aimlessly and crying as photographers shout questions at her, and it’s disturbing. She looks like she has a welt on the left side of her face but that could be due to crying as it doesn’t appear in other photos later that night.
ONTD has text messages that Lufti supposedly sent Adnan telling him to stay away from her, and given his history you would assume that he’s being controlling, not helpful. US Weekly reports that the fight with Sam was over the fact that he wanted her to see a psychologist and that he was telling her to talk to her mother. That all sounds supportive, but who knows if it went down that way.
One more thing happened last night - it looks like Britney and Adnan had a flat tire after they were finally reunited, as WENN has photos of it and it seems to have taken place later that night, but I could be mistaken. Do you want to start ignoring Britney again until her next major incident? I’m sorry to phrase it like it’s inevitable, and with Britney it’s expected. It’s also hard to tell what warrants reporting as she seems to top herself every day. Maybe she’ll accept her family’s help after this.
In the sheer wackiness that’s Britney Spears’ life, the pop tart and her new paparazzo boyfriend continued on with their gallivanting about town on Friday (January 11).
During the afternoon, the Gimme More singer was first spotted out riding around Ventura Blvd with her current “manager” Osama Lutfi.

Man, did she trudge through a mud puddle in those slippers and jammies? It's like Pigpen with her lately! Blocking our complete view of Britney in this photo is her bestest friend Sam Lufti. The two have been inseparable as of late. Whether he's an actual friend, or giving her bad business advice, or sponging off her millions - we don't know. What we also don't know is where he went to lately. After refusing to answer a subpoena to appear at Kevin Federline's custody hearing, Lufti has been missing in action. Reports say that Britney hasn't been photographed with Lufti since December 3. And that's awhile for those two, who were constantly making love to the flashbulbs together. Lufti's somewhat violent past has come to light recently. Sources say that he has had two restraining orders taken out againt him for intimidation and violent threats. Did Britney drop his ass when she realized he wasn't just a douche, but a crazy one? Hell, she probably proposed marriage. She's a redneck, and redneck chicks like a man willing to punch someone for nary a reason. The Sam Lufti watch continues! In the meantime, Britney, buy new slippers!

The people Britney Spears is surrounding herself with at the moment appear to have as sketchy of a past as she does. Seen in the car here with Brit-Brit is her buddy of the moment, Sam Lufti, who was by Brit's side during her birthday celebration that took place at an event for something completely different and also has been taking some extreme measures to avoid testifying in Britney's custody case. And now, more shady information is surfacing about this "producer," who appears to have a spotty work history, as well as two restraining orders against him. Friends of Spears (who aren't Sam Lufti) are worried about the singer's choice of companionship and worry that she is being manipulated. According to an inside source, "She's so desperate for a friend that it's easy once you get in there." Ewww, I feel like that double-entendre is so embarrassingly accurate. Also, we have some pictures of another dude that Britney's been spotted with. I have no idea if his history is as ominous-sounding as Lufti's, but at least he's way cuter.

More photos of Britney Spears and her mystery man are after the jump.
Accompanied by Sam Lufti and her puppy, a sporty-looking Britney Spears made a Saturday trip to Petco in West Hollywood.
Drawing the usual horde of paparazzi who follow her every move, the Pieces Of Me singer picked up some pet supplies, along with a brand new goldfish to keep the boys entertained now that she can’t drive them anywhere.
