He is in court today, actually. Also, see below, mildly interesting update from Radar.com... Obviously, I don't quite agree with their take:<BR/><BR/>DARK DAYS Spears (Photo: Getty Images) <BR/>When Britney Spears is finally off restriction, her BFF will be there. But for the next 30 days, Spears ballcapped former walker Sam Lutfi (who was slapped with a restraining order) has agreed to lay off contact while his lawyers figure out a longterm arrangement. <BR/><BR/>"Everything is quiet and peaceful on all sides," Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands tells Radar. Unless, of course, you're conserva-dad Jamie Spears. Sands' other client, self-declared Britney advocate, attorney Jon Eardley, is scheduled to go to court today with an evaluation of the Spears' conservatorship by renown UCLA law profession William McGovern. In it, McGovern rips the judge's ruling in the Spears case, essentially arguing that Spears' visitors are limited and she can't meet with an attorney to fight her way into independence. <BR/><BR/>Sands also blasted out e-mails Sunday evening questioning whether Jamie Spears, who'd declared bankruptcy in the past, is fit to handle Britney's estate, and the News of the World is reporting that government officials are secretly looking into Spears financial affairs, a claim Sands has made to Radar before.Tina Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544196080147026969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-1873464912989694122008-03-16T16:19:00.000-04:002008-03-16T16:19:00.000-04:00I hope dad can get her on the right road again.

Part of the problem is that the "drugging" was an admission from Sam himself, to Britney's parents, but he claims it was just prescriptions meds given to control Brit's depression and something for attention deficit disorder. And so far, there is no other evidence to suggest he was involved in drugging her with other narcotics. But I think a lot of us probably see shades of Anna Nicole Smith here -- a mentally incapacitated star controlled by prescription drugs, fed to her by a male associate supposedly acting in her best interest. <BR/> I think the best Brit's parents could do here is add Sam's admission into their case for a restraining order against Sam, which they successfully obtained.Tina Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544196080147026969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-7402744552453400192008-03-15T10:41:00.000-04:002008-03-15T10:41:00.000-04:00Hope so, Leah.Hope so, Leah.Kathryn Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469242532804571817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-19248535180206583992008-03-14T17:52:00.000-04:002008-03-14T17:52:00.000-04:00That isn't a lot of money at all in California and...That isn't a lot of money at all in California and anyone else that is granted conservatorship is entitled to compensation so he should be as well. An attorney or an accountant would charge way more than that.

Obviously, drugging another is a crime, and they could almost make a pretty tight case for attempted murder if they felt strongly enough. The fact he was controlling her money and assets says a lot to prove their case!Stacy Dittrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167535980120085251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-35338208782797415462008-03-14T01:10:00.000-04:002008-03-14T01:10:00.000-04:00I've read all this carrying on about him getting m...I've read all this carrying on about him getting money from his daughter. Well $2500 sounds like a lot BUT, the man had a job as a chef and lived somewhere that requires rent or a mortgage payment taxes, etc.<BR/><BR/>Basically, his whole life is on hold. So no, I don't think he's exactly making a killing on this.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613020624871836559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-53372522664561509552008-03-13T22:53:00.000-04:002008-03-13T22:53:00.000-04:00Hey Tina, Great post.
