Brit's Pal Grilled Like a Cheeseburger

Sources tell TMZ K-Daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was all over Sam Lutfi, Brit's close friend, like white on rice during his deposition today.Britney & Sam
We're told the depo, which ended just before 6:00 PM, covered a wide range of issues. Sources say Kaplan asked about the meds Brit takes, where she goes, what she does at home, what she drinks, and on and on.

Kaplan also asked Lutfi about his relationship with the photo agency X17 and specifically whether he and Brit have a financial deal where they help X17 get pics of Brit and in return get moolah. X17 has denied there's any deal.

We're told Kaplan asked Lutfi about his income and where he gets it, how he supports himself, etc. We're also told Kaplan asked him about six lawsuits in which he was reportedly sued. We're told Lutfi answered that most of those suits were against his father.

76. 71. K-Fed up is a loser, money sucking jerk. All he is doing is following his lawyers advice (paid by her alimony) so that he can keep getting money from her. These kids are being raised by a nanny. Not either parent. When was the last picture you saw of K-Jerk doing anything with his kids? He's riding the Brittany money train just like TMZ, People, US and all the other tabloid crap.

Why do people insist on blaming Kevin for Britney's behavior? Is he some sort of evil vodoo priest who has been using ritual magic to cause her to behave illogically and irrationally? Did he cast a spell that forced her to shave her head? Flash her naked hoohoo for pictures (complete with perfect photo op poses)? Perform atrociously at the VMA's? Defy one court order after another? Drive around town at all hours of the day and night, desperately seeking paparazzi? Lock herself in the bathroom for a police standoff?
There is only one reason that Britney has lost custody and that reason is Britney. Incidentally, you didn't see pictures of Kevin out and about enjoying himself period unless it was Britney's time with the boys. He simply doesn't drag the kids out in public for photo opportunities like that paragon of motherhood, Britney, does.

Maybe they do - maybe they don't. No one disagrees that this woman is utterly and completely unable to care for her children at this point. I'm not sure what people expect Kevin to do - just leave the kids in both a mentally and physically dangerous situation. But the bottom line is that if she hadn't been behaving so poorly over the last year, Kevin could NOT have gotten primary custody. He didn't steal her kids and her money - she threw them away.

78. If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't have to fear a deposition.
Britneys lawyers would utilize the same tactics if they deamed it necessary.
This is about her business assosciation with her "Manager" and "Producer" Sam Lufti.
It is not about a private friendship. It is about a business relationship she has with the tabloids. How many of her actual stories were real versus staged for ratings, etc. Is she partners with them? Are some of the Dangerous situations that have arisen with the Paparazzi staged? If so was it at the expense of the children? etc.
This is where he is going.
This is just a smart maneuver on Mr. Kaplans part.
Britneys not crazy. Just greedy.

Let me see if I understand what you're saying - The problem isn't that Britney broke her divorce agreement but that K-Fed and his attorney have the gall to find out about it and bring it to courts attention. Just like if someone is caught shoplifting, shame on the store security that has the audacity to call the police. Is that about right?

89. Kevin is... you are a fricking Brit Nut aren't you? A spy camera? Are you insane with paranoia? You sure blog like you are! Especially the all caps screaming stuff you are doing! And why shouldn't Lutfi be questioned? Sure, he'll probably lie to keep the money scam going, but if he gets caught, he won't just get grilled, he'll be served up with a side of striped laundry! There are simply not too many people around that have the exposure to Twit that he has. Why should he not be questioned? What, are you afraid that your little princess might be made to look bad? Well too late for that as she has already proven herself to be a horrible mother! I bet you would just want twit to have full custody of her kids? You obviously have a short memory from when she was hauled away on a stretcher the last time she was with them. Honestly, you kind of make me sick with your ridiculous ASSumptions!

Posted at 12:09AM on Jan 25th 2008 by You are a NUT!!!

90. It could just be a technical problem with Perez's website. I am not jumping to any conspiracy theories yet here.
