Sam Says Brit Is Mental

Sam Lutfi somehow got hold of Barbara Walters this weekend -- and fiwwed her in on Britney's mental problems -- saying they are "treatable." Praise Jebus!


Brit's ersatz manager, via Babwa on today's episode of "The View," says Spears has visited a psychiatrist and is in touch with her mother -- who arrived in Los Angeles last night.

I hope so for those kids sake. They deserve a stable, clean mother!

18. Do we care, really? As if we don't already know that Britney has problems.... you don't have to remind us of it every other story that you post... We KNOW she's a HEAD-CASE!! Let's move on and hear about other things. I actually enjoyed logging onto TMZ this morning to find other news that didn't include Britney "Please notice Me" Spears (at least for the first page of TMZ coverage). It's sad, it really is... but there were much more heart-breaking stories this past week to report on, don't you think? She's not helping herself, so why comment on it???!!!!!!

19. frankly i do not believe anything lutfi has to say and sorry walters has fallen for him too, need actual proof and sadly what kind of doctor, if it is one he picked, like anna nicole, sterns zombie, then only god can help her. dr. phil would have helped her, but he knows he blew it letting his show ideas getting in the way. money truly is the root of all evil, just like the bible says!!! lurfi needs to get out of her life...and she needs to pick better associates/friends, come on britney if you can find sleeze, you can fine clean cut and honest folks too. ok magazine is fast becoming a slime rag to me. to trash another and hurt another human being the way they have, it will be there down fall. shame and double shame on them....for goodness sake's people boycott this ok magazine.

20.

Please tell me, how does one receive a mental health diagnosis in just one hour with a psychiatrist?
Seems to me, she “shopped” around to find the perfect doc to write her some prescriptions.
Does she think that this will satisfy the court?

21. Britney just needs support and not people judging her. I dont know what went wrong but I do know that the day after she filed for a divorce K-Fed made a statement through his lawyer (paid by Britney) that he wanted spousal support and full custody of the kids. He got spousal support until it ran out in November. This was around the same time him and his lawyer filed for full custody. K fed wanted those kids even before Britney started acting out. He had a PLAN from the begining. Unfortunately Britney didnt do much to prevent that. She is child like. She does not know how to fight back. K-Fed on the other hand has been a scam artist and free loader his whole life. He doesnt even pay child support for his other kids. I think they both need to get help.

22. Congrats on making one the single most obvious statement ever released! But until they can find a cure for stupidity, Twit is cursed! I'm, glad she's sticking with Lutfi, seeing what a great man of moral standards he is! She won't be able to handle reality anyway, so it's just a matter of time.....................

23. Paris called her and told Barbara a big fat lie! So, whatever!

25. And Barbra Wawa is the authority y'all!! Old bag needs to hang it up!! She probably didn't even know who Sam Lutfi was before the phone rang!!! First to report it on of all places "The View". Mercy

26. "The View" was so much better when Elisabeth was gone on her maternity leave. She is more irritating that ever. She needs to go and so does hideous Joy Behar. NOONE CARES how either one of these turds THINKS OR FEELS about anything! Get it, Joy? And Sherri Shepherd is just a low life, absoulutely repulsive idiot! How dare she let her brat, Jeffrey run all over toy stores and disrupt shopping for everyone!

Put Britney in Hasselbeck's place, Barbara and see what happens to your ratings! Just think, people would tune in every day just to see what accent she is using and what she is or is not wearing.

27. So, now is everyone going after Barbara, she was divulging information about Brittney?

28. This is really a nothing story. I read the exact quotes that he said to Barbara Walters and he didn't say much of anything. He just said she had been to see a psychiatrist (what a shocker) and that she was having some mood swings and somtimes trouble sleeping. Well, don't we all. Then he said he assumed she was getting some kind of treatment from the psychiatrist for for these problems.

That does not translate into a mental disorder nor treatment program. It sounds like practically nothing, and treatment for these whoop-de-doo problems that Sam Lufti admitted to could consist of nothing but taking some Ambien. But he was just assuming some kind of treatment, in any case.

Many many people see a psychiatrist for some problems at times, this doesn't mean they are "mental". The whole thing was so meaningless, that it must be that he is trying to get the public's sympathy. Well, obviously, he is, why else would he be calling.

29. If Brit could not figure out she was in trouble months ago when she had to have monitored visitation........this is ALL a BIG ploy to get more airtime....she is just jealous that Heath has taken away her media this last week. Brit is NOTHING but a selfish , selfserving loser....and I don't give a F____ what she plans on doing....

Posted at 3:57PM on Jan 28th 2008 by boo hoo

30. Barbara exhibits behavior like she doesn't even know what is going on at all. She acts so stupid like she is telling the world some kind of great "info" Important "info" and it is all a big fat nothing!!! Whoopi was kind of mean spirited. I think the view should shun Britney issues. In fact everyone should, because no one really knows her mental condition. I agree it doesn't look good, but it is private, and she needs help.
