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 ...

76. So, TMZ, if Britney is being paid by X17 for the "Real life photos and stories, then she probably isn't telling the Commish or the IRS, so they could act accordingly. IRS will fine or imprison her or both, for dodging taxes. The Commish will consider that she is hiding income, so she doesn't have to inform Kevin's lawyers of the additional income. Of course, Kevin is a total slacker, yet a good Dad, or he pretends to be one. Maybe Char or the Nannies and Grandmas take care of them. I wish they were mine, I would shower them with love and kindness. WHy does God let Noodnicks have babies, and others only wish for them?

77. Sam Lufti's time is numbered, just like Brit's exploding drummer assistants. I can't wait either, because it will just precipitate another fun meltdown!

78. 9. Why wouldn't it bode well with the commisioner? What does he care?

Because the dumbass has already made comments (in her previous deposition, the one where she sparred with the judge & acted petulant, the one where he bitch slapped her verbally, the one where she left crying like a baby) to the judge that her children are the only thing that matters to her, that she'd sacrifice anything for them, that everything else is secondary. If Osama Bin Lufti testifies that she has a deal with X17 to be her personal photographic agency & photograph everything in her life, then she's lied about her kids being the only thing that matters to her. It shows that her media whoring & need for attention is much more important than her kids, and that she's subjected them to ridiculous & dangerous situations, just so her X17 buddies can get "the shot" and pay her for it.

Also, it shows she's a total moron & definitely brain damaged. She's making $700,000 per month right now; why the hell would she subject her kids to insane situations, just for a few extra bucks? What's the matter, she sticking that $700,000 up her nose every month?

79. britney spears is a middle child maybe all of what has or is happening to her is middle child syndrome. Maybe she feels like she needs attnetion because that is how she grew up being the middle child and always grasping straws for attention. TMZ should definatly look into this it would be a great story to run with

81. 81 I have seen Jan Brady and Britney isn't Jan Brady.

It seems like a lot of excuses are being made for Britney and I don't understand it. None of us know her personally, so I don't understand how anyone can give an armchair diagnoses. I hope everything works out for her as I do for everyone else, but I don't have any clue what is wrong with her, or if anything is wrong with her.

82. Making money is going to piss off the commisioner. At least she is attempting to make money. GayFed sits on his ass and does nothing and expects Britney to pay him every month so why shouldn't she make money. GayFed couldn't get a job if his life depended on it. Some of these people are pathetic, the judge ,GayFed and his gay lawyers.

86. #20 - Kevin is making money. Making it off of Britney. At least he's being a parent.

Posted at 3:52PM on Jan 24th 2008 by K-Daddy is the better parent?

87. I believe this. On some of the 'exclusive' pictures with her sons that x17 has you can see brit in her driveway that looks like it was from her house, you can clearly the tiles of her roof . Like it was taken from the window of her house ,maybe it was Sam himself who took those pics . Either way she exploits her kids in the worst way ,you never see another hollywood mother act like her . Like driving by a KNOWN paparazzi hangout with the top of her convertible down and her kids scared in the backseat. That was when I lost any sympathy for her . no excuse for that.

Um, a little knowledge is dangerous. You do know that he just had an acting role recently, don't you? I mean you wouldn't be on her trashing him without at least know that, would you? IMO, you are making yourself look foolish.
