Celebrity Justice
Brit Shops for Car During Intervention

There is a lot of behind-the-scenes anger surrounding the Britney Spears' intervention, and the anger is directed at one Sam Lutfi, pictured here with Brit and mama Lynne today at Beverly Hills Mercedes.

As TMZ first reported, the family is staging an intervention so Britney can get help for her bipolar disorder. Family sources say they are furious at Lutfi, claiming he pushed Brit into going to B.H. Mercedes today to buy a new car -- in the middle of the effort to save her.

One source says the family believes Lutfi has been a "counterproductive, disquieting force" who has done nothing but harm.

61.
TMZ--you have no proof of any real "intervention," and there has been NO diagnosis of Britney to indicate bipolar disorder. It is shameful that you would publish this stuff without any factual evidence. No matter what you may think based on observation of her behavior, using the phrase, "help with her bipolar disorder" is completely inappropriate, as no such determination has been made.
The APA actually issued official statements against you and other tabloid journals for making these unsubstantiated claims in the first place.
It very well may turn out that she does have some sort of disorder or other problem, but making specific claims before-the-fact is reprehensible. A more mature and responsible celeb than Britney would sue you and win.

63. Everyone seems to benefit off of Britney. Look at Mom's purse... I'm no "designer expert", but that purse looks like it cost quite a few bucks.

Mama don't make that kind of money on HER salary, I'm sure.

64. Don't you mean that the family is mad at Adnan - the creepy FUG pap who is selling out Britney for $2 million.

Its Adnan who goes with Britney to hotels at all hours in the night and off to Mexico. Adnan is driving a new Mercedes likely either bought by Brit for him or with money he earned by selling Britney pictures and stories.

Sam seems to lay low and tries to keep Britney in control. Sam takes her to court and depositions. Sam takes her shopping.

Adnan likes the spotlight and goes on crazy sex-filled night time ventures with Britney to make a buck!

Adnan is the bad guy, not Sam!

65. the reason TMZ does what it does "CK" is because people like you and me and every other American log on to TMZ and look at this crap. We just cant help it!!! Its really our doing and the reason TMZ staff make a living. Sooooo if you really care you and everyone else who is offended by what they do will boycott TMZ. As for me,I'll log on every hour like I ALWAYS DO.
Its like a car crash you hate that its happening but you can help but watch.
Also... Brit has plenty of money to move to the mountains for a few month , mabey a year and get the hell out of this craziness! She loves the attention!!!

66. Easy Answer......Have someone "hold" him in a secure area for about a month. Food, water, TV or radio and get Britney de-wormed from this maggot. Then after he is "released" the "restaining order "will already be in effect and Britney will be "somewhere" getting help! But be very careful......Don't hurt him or let him hurt himself........:-)

67. For the past few months Sam has been the only onek eepin this girl from total self destruction. Where were her parents month ago, they weren't even talking to her. And if it were not for Sam they would not be talking to her now. Lynne didn't even show up to the hospital after her own daughter had a mental breakdown three weeks ago. It is only now, three weeks later that she has come to see her own daughter. Even britney's father, who Britney doesn't even speak to, got to that hospital! Lynne should thank God that her daughter has a friend like Sam in her daughters life, or her daughter would have been left vulnerable to the like of Adnan, who was loving the fact that Britney was slowly killing herself, (after all those types of pictures, and stories sell for big bucks).
Lynne is a disgusting mother, and bashing someone who has been the only real friend in her child's life, especially when she herself couldn't bother to be bothered, is disgraceful behaviour.

68. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREAMER OUTSIDE HER HOUSE.....TMZ FINALLY HAVE SOME MORALS.....TMZ ARE STALKING BRITNEY AND THATS A SHAME...LET HER GET HER LIFE TOGETHER...SEEMS TMZ WANTS TO SEE HER FAIL AND IF THATS NOT SHAMEFUL THEN I DONOT KNOW WHAT IS. TMZ IS GOING WAY TOO FAR WITH BRITNEYS MEDICAL CONDITION...IT IS NO ONES BUSINESS. I AM HOPING THAT SHE CAN RECOVER WITHOUT ANY OF THOSE PAPPARAZZIS INTERUPTING HER MEDICAL TREATMENT. TMZ SHOULD REALLY BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, BUT THEY HAVE NO MORALS OR SCRUPLES BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AND DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT BRITNEY AND GETTING HER BETTER. TO THOSE AT TMZ...GET A REAL JOB IDIOTS!!!!!

69. I just love watching the Paps fight with each other and lie to each other, to get the best story. It makes my day complete, in a sick and perverted way...:) Gee, I wonder what happened to the live stream in front of Britney's house? Maybe George Clooney came out with his baseball bat? And, I would think all of the neighbors there would love to do the same thing. Glad the Live Stream was down, as that is not a public place, it is a series of residences. Who knows, maybe the cops broke it up? That really was over the top TMZ, Britney's residence is too well known now, and that is not safe for her.

70. Wow - she can be angry at me too then. According to page six Brit took Sam and Mama to breakfast this morning at the Beverly Hills Hotel and they did some make up shopping before heading off to the dealership. The answer to the pressing question is simple: Brit forgot she was angry at Sam because she was british last night. Remember, she conveniently forgets everything she says and does when she is british. Phew, mystery solved and no need to call Matlock or Angela Lansbury. I feel better now. How bout you Brit?

71. To everyone asking why she's buying another car: Bipolar people shop compulsively. Besides, "British Britney" would need one with a steering wheel on the right hand side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes you think that she hasn't been diagnosed as bipolar? Don't you think they wouldn't keep stating it unless they know something you don't know?

Posted at 4:30PM on Jan 29th 2008 by Maybe they cant tell you yet

73. #1 : You had time to type all that and still be first? I'm calling that you wrote that in advance! Do over!
