Celebrity Justice
Brit's Right Hand Man -- Deposed!

TMZ has learned Sam Lutfi, the man who has been all around Britney for more than a year, is about to have his deposition taken in the ongoing custody battle.
Britney and Sam
We're told Lutfi is about to arrive at the offices of K-Daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Lutfi has tried to block the depo, even running from Aaron Cohen, who served him with the depo subpoena.

We're told one of the lines of questioning involves the photo agency X17. We're told Kaplan wants to know if Brit made a deal with X17 to "catch" her living life, and if Lutfi is the bagman. If Brit is making money from a photo agency, that wouldn't sit well with the Commish.

Stay tuned ...

61. Just like #27, I can't stop myself from wondering what Brit did last night. I get to work and check the sites to find out the latest. She has become a joke and it's sad. Her life is driving around, going to buy cigs, getting gas, becoming friends with the paps, It's simply unreal.

62. Does anyone else feel like they are being 'punked'? This is a reality show in the making and its all a big lie. Possibly a joke on America how we will follow around a train wreck? I can just hear Britney, "hahaha - Ya'll were PUNKED! I ain't crazy-you are!"

63. I have a child with bipolar disorder. Most of the time it's diagnosed AFTER a suicide attempt. That's what happened with my son. Then later looking back, you realize, yes, he was manic, he was terribly depressed. He did party, hardly slept, risky behavior, spent lots of money, etc. It's clear now. However, if he had died we never would have known why other than he was severely depressed. Bipolar disorder has the highest rate of "successful" suicide than any mental illness.

64. If Lufti tells the truth, it may all start to unravel, and he may lose his meal ticket. If he doesn't, it will probably all unravel anyway, and then he would be in contempt, if you can even be in contempt of a deposition? There should be some enlightening info nuggets coming down the TMZ pipeline, regardless. Hollywood is a very, very strange place.

65. 58. Bee - you are right on all counts. Lori B - you must be a work-whore for TMZ. Has anyone noticed that TMZ is "in bed" with FOX news channel? The right wing politically conservative channel? He and Greta Van Sustern seem to have some financial whoredom going on as well. It is really disgusting.

Ya know, I'm quite proud to be a liberal democrat, but you gotta admit, FOX NEWS is da best for salacious gossip and news we REALLY want to k now about. I just turn my ears off when they talk about politics..otherwise I'm just laughing at them. And um, as far as being a TMZ whore, they haven't hit me up yet, but I'd be proud to do the job.

66. "60. Well remember just the other day X17 ran those pics of Britney in those nasty panties that proved she wasn't pregnant."

*********************************************

I think X17 was upset that Adnan's agency, FinalPixx, was getting all their "exclusives," and this was their way of letting Sam and Britney know they were pissed. The next thing you know, Britney's inviting X17 over to her house and Sam's showing them a supposed restraining order against Adnan. And sure enough, X17 is back to loving their "Queen B" again. It's quite obvious that X17 has a special deal with Britney...just whether or not there's actually money involved is the question. I think they just come up with so many embarrassing photos and stories about her that they are given the "exclusive" in return for not posting the REALLY bad stuff about her.

68. Dawy Day, it was also suspiciously when Brit had a bit of falling out with X17 and they posted a few very non-flattering things about her and then suddenly were glowing with nice things again. Just like when Perez was slamming Parisite and then he hung out with her and suddenly all the pricks usually drawn around her face went away. I think X17 was pissed when it came back that Finalpixx had scored a deal and they retaliated. X17 has been notoriously pro-Brit a majority of the time. Of course long term and often financial relationships develop over time. News agencies from time beginning have been notorious about this. Do you think in today's cut throat society people have suddenly become honest?

69. What a leach this guy is... I would love to know how much money he has sponged off of Britney the past year.. He is obviously here key enabler to her troubled ways too. This guy needs to get a job.

74.

I always wondered what “career” Sam was managing for her.

I see now, it’s her photo op career.
