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.

32. Wait and See, I am not sure how long Lynne Spears will be staying in L.A.. I would not speculate anything between Lynne and Britney on patching their relationship..

33. That attention seeking media whore bitch just has to stay in the headlines somehow. She visits some psychiatrist for an hour (in the shrinks home no less) and all of a sudden we should care about her so called psychiatric issues. It is not professional for ANY psychiatrist to invite ANY patient to their home. Have mommy accompany you to to France Britney and STFU- seriously GO AWAY. No one - not even the View cares anymore because you are such a media whore among many other things! Get yourself help out of the limelight. And get some real help by real professionals- meaning don't pay for them to tell you what you want to hear. It won't do you any good.

34. I am just curious as to why Sam would call Barbara to begin with. What in the world does Barbara have to do with Britney Spears anyhow? Maybe he did or didn't call Barbara, but it seems a little odd that he would call her and tell her that Britney is seeking help. Something just does not add up on this.

35. "seen a psychiatrist" is pretty vague---she could be simply referring to visiting with one at a party, or Dr. Phil, or anything. The proof is in the pudding, and nothing she is doing or has done seems to be helping. She needs fulltime professional help. And to get away from the cameras.

36. Whether they're getting paid for it or not, Lutfi and/or Unfitney have gone out of their way to speak with the media about things too often. If she were concerned about protecting her children, this is a behavior neither she nor her proxies should be engaging in.

37. 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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly, there is no way a diagnosis can be made in 1 hour. The only thing that could be completely obvious is if she is in full blown psychosis. But even at that, it could be caused by a number of things, not all of which are psychological.

38. Bunch of bitches, is what the View is made up of!
Barbara is an a**hole, and I'll tell you why. Last week on The View, they were talking about Heath Ledgers death. And one of them had mentioned about the fans standing out front of the hotel where he had been staying. And Barbara says "Don't people have anything better to do then stand in front of a building all day?" Excuse me???? They are PAYING RESPECT to someone they loved and admired, BITCH!
Whoopi's sarcastic comment about Britney getting sleep, SCREW YOU!

39. who is Sam Lufti and how did he get Baba's phone number?
Wasn't she also kept informed about Paris' condition in jail by some Lackey?
good ol' Babs has her pulse on world issues at all times! LOL

40. Barbara should spend her "off time" reading TMZ. She would get a good education on how many people HATE Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Let's get our priorities straight here, Ms.Walters.

41. Babwa has no credit herself!! If you were a tree Babwa, what kind of tree would you be? A maple tree---BIG SAP!!!

42. Ooooohhh... SLUTney has "visited" a psychiatrist. Does that mean that little miss crazy pants (or, little miss missing pants & flashing snatch) said hello, or ran into someone on the street, or has a friend who's a psychiatrist? Also, no psychiatrist could be able to diagnose a dumbass like SLUTney, even if she was psychotic, right then & there. So, this story smacks of BS, spin & lies. Coming from a psychotic stalker (who has 3 restraining orders against him), who likes to look at pictures of naked men (one of his restraining orders is from a guy who lufti got pissed at & e-mailed naked pictures of the guy to the guy's family; yuck), that's hardly something worth believing...

43. boring day - MANY psychiatrists have offices within their homes as specal equipment isn't necessry (labs, x-ray,etc) in
their field of work. You don't know as much as you think you do, so SHUT UP!!

44. Barbara Walters is the worst. I can't even stand looking at her. Her interviews are horrible. WHY is she still on ?

45. Most pychiatrists/pychologists/social workers do an hour interview called an Intake, where they get basic information about the patient. Many work at private practices in their own homes. After the Intake process, then they set up a schedule to see the patient on a regular basis to work on the pyscological issues. Britney may have been given a list of psychicatrists she could choose from and she picked one that did not work in a hospital or large office building because she was probably wary they someone would try to drag her into a mental institution.
