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.

76. I think that they indulge her in any of the crazy things that she wants to do. This will lessen her meltdowns. The drug store, the car dealership...etc. Yes ,I am by Walmart to make this observation.

77. i feel sorry for her...i think that Sam is better to her and for her than loser Adnan..at least with Sam, she gets to where she needs to be (kind of) but with Adnan, no chance...they really need to detox her off of him, hes trouble and trash...when will she see this?

78. 75. 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?

79. Well, at least she will have a new vehicle to drive to therapy in.

IF they can persuade her she needs help. Of course, NO ONE tells the Britt what to do. Right?

82. Who cares? She is obviously a half-wit hillbilly ( my apologies to "The son's & daughter's of the south ) Ignore her and maybe she just might go away, same goes for Paris & her Idiot "Peeps". Just what do these two idiots do anyway?

83. I dont think Britney has lost her mind at all. I think that Kevin federline wants her children so he can have a constant money flow via child support from Britney. I think she made a mistake by having children, and I think she knows it. I believe she acts out so the media is always focusing on her due to a fear of loss of interest maybe... and all of this is simply a show so people "stay tuned". Shes not crazy at all.. quite the opposite. This is all fake in my opinion.
If you notice.. she put on the thick Brittish accent when it was time for court, probably so they took it easy on her, blaming it on mental illness for not wanting to deal with losing her children.. and thus not showing up for court. This is ALL for the attention and money. I dont know what to think of sam. Or her mother. I know I think her mother is shady.

85. Is there anyone in Britney's life that doesn't want something from her? A car, fame, money, pictures, her story. From "friends" to Dr. Phil to her own family - they all want a piece of her. It is almost like kicking someone when they are down. A few years from now, she'll be going over her finances and wonder what happened to half her money and someone will have to admit, ohhhh while you needed help - we took you for all we could. Get while the gettings good I guess.
I really feel for her. Sometimes I think she brings it on herself because I know she has the money to send someone else out to get her coffee and she doesn't have drawn attention to herself by hotel hopping - but I also see this sad person who was never taught any basic skills. Someone who has to rely on someone else to make the most basic of decisions. Someone who only knows what someone else tells her. She may believe that it's the law to pay your mama to visit if that's what she's been taught. The whole family saw her as the ticket out of the trailer (dance monkey dance) and poor Jamie Lynn is just the icing on the cake. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Mama Spears swapped out her birth control pills just so she would get pregnant - I mean, pressure off Brit, money for the story, maybe a lawsuit against the old fart who impregnanted her (I'm sure that was caught on tape to sell when money gets low) - maybe even a reality show - boo yah!
I'm starting to wonder if anyone around really even wants Brit healthy - you know, her getting her mind back and her life under control may mean the end of the gravy train for a lot of people. Almost like the writer's strike - Brit healthy would mean less magazine sales, less photog jobs, less attorneys, less doctors and experts, and she might not want to throw her money at people just so they'll be her friend. $100 to say I'm pretty.
Insanity comes with a price for Britney - but her sanity would be a cost for everyone else.

87. Sam "Howard K. Stern" Lufti will suck the life out of her and then put up his hands like, "I tried to save her, I loved her, she was my life!!" Yada, yada, blah, blah.

88. To say on behalf of the entire spears family "lufti i think maybe you should leave britney alone and lay low for a while.
