Celebrity Justice
K-Fed's Lawyer Wants Five for Fighting

Posted Jan 29th 2008 7:55PM by TMZ Staff

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has filed a motion asking the court to make Britney pay attorney's fees. If the motion is granted, we've learned Brit will be on the hook for more than $500,000 since last July.

Here's how it breaks down: The court has already awarded Kaplan $120,000 for fees earned between July 30 and October 8, 2007. We've learned in today's motion Kaplan is asking for fees in excess of $300,000 for work performed between October 8 and January 24, 2008. On top of that, Kaplan is asking for in excess of $100,000 for fees he will accumulate between now and the end of the custody trial, set for April.

A hearing on Kaplan's request for attorney's fees is set for March 10.

78. Go to http://www.etonline.com, scroll down, there's a video titled NEW VIDEO: BRITNEY'S DRAMATIC NIGHT, it shows Adnan Ghalib. Play the video and watch carefully as the paparazzi zero in and get a close up of Adnan reading his text message from Sam Lufti when he's outside Brtiney's gated home. It is quite interesting what Sam says!!! Oh BTW, TMZ.com is reporting that Sam Lufti contacted TMZ's Harvey Levine to protest all the negative stories about him, he says her family "barged in." He apparently has Britney next to him during his phone call to TMZ because Sam poiht blank asks her if he forced her to buy a car and whether he bugs her. Funny to see also that FEDEX's attorney Kaplan is asking for $500,000 in additional attorney fees from Britney--LEECH! Okay, if you go to http://www.jfxonline.com/page/3/ you will see the following article: Is Sam The Biggest Ass You’ve Ever Seen? A Photo Essay; this article tells a very significant story of how you see Britney and her mom holding her hand as they come out of Long's drugstore and Sam interjects himself in the middle of mother and daughter--check out Lynne's face in the photos as Sam does this! Pictures say a million words!!!!
Anyways, the reason Adnan was arrived at Britney's is because she reportedly called him....but they were heard arguing later in the bathroom (I would be interested in knowing more about that!). It's nice to see that Adnan left Britney at home with her parents and gave them space and that Sam and Alli would not leave. I hope Adnan is looking out for Britney and not have any bad motives. We ALL KNOW SAM DOES and here I had thought Sam was looking out for Britney. SAD very SAD!!! What's more sad is one of the guy's that took a restraining order out on Sam Lufti has some not very good things to say about how he controls people--this guy was "supposedly" encouraged my Britney's parents to go forward with his story to everyone can see the real OSAMA "SAM" LUFTI. Judge for yourselves. I don't know these people at all, but I find it interesting how Sam keeps talking to Babs and the rest of the media, radio talkshows, and shows Britney in a bad light....You notice that on one recent posting Britney is checking out OK Magazine and she sees pictures of her kids and she says "I took that picture!"--on the video--I forget where I saw it, TMZ/X17 or something you see Sam quickly pull her away from the magazine and out the store....makes me wonder if Sam "sold" copies of Britney's "private" photos of her children to OK Mag or some other media!!! I would not be surprised!

Its good to see on that text that someone also said she was with the doctor. Its too bad the men couldn't leave her alone with the doctor long enough for anything really useful to come out of it.....

I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, SORTA......BUT WE'VE ALL MADE MISTAKES.....SHOW ME SOME ONE THAT HASN'T MADE A MISTAKE IN HIS/HER LIFE. ESP. SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT SINCE SHE WAS A YOUNG TEEN. I'VE MADE MISTAKES AND I WOULD HOPE THAT SOMEONE WOULDN'T BE SO HARSH ON ME. I REGRET WHAT I'VE DONE AND TRY TO MAKE BETTER JUDGEMENT. BRITNEY WILL SOON, IF NOT ALREADY, REALIZE HER MISTAKES. IT MAKES US WHO WE ARE. LET'S FORGIVE HER AND ROOT FOR HER. K-FED IS A MAN AFTER HER MONEY. WHAT HAS HE DONE EXCEPT FURNISH THE SPERM?????

84. I wonder if Britney knows that LA isn't Louisiana

Also, she has been court ordered to pay attorney fees, it's a done deal she will pay

85. This is how the court system works people..not to mention the numerous times britney screwed around with the court ..the judge will grant this request..she is responsible here..if she would have pulled her selfish crazy head out of her ass a year ago this all would not have happened and not a one of you with any commen sense can argue with that..if Kevin was the bread winner he would be footing the bill..and like she cares about money she burns through it with no regards to its value and worth..And would you all please stop playing the bipolar card here..none of you know what is really going on with this chick..stop making excuses for her ..she is a adult and should and will be held responsible for her actions....put that in your pipe and smoke it....

I have rooted for her time and time again. I felt horrible for her when she first went nuclear and shaved her head.

My original point was that people are all offended that K-Fed is using her for her money and expecting her to foot his legal bill, but in all honesty its nothing that women haven't been doing to men for years and years with the court systems approval and no one screamed about it then, but now that the tables are turned everyone is all up in arms about it.

Well when everyone started screaming about womens rights and equal opportunities I bet they never considered this situation.

Unfortunately right now no matter how big of a looser K-Fed is, he is the better parent, regardless of what his motives are. He isn't out partying at all hours of the night, he isn't shaving his head, or flashing his privates, and he isn't making a scene everytime he leaves his house.

Britney courted the media attention for so long and now that its turned ugly she can't handle the pressure. If she didn't want her life played out for all to see she shouldn't have started the ball rolling.

And if it wasn't bad enough her stealing Kevin away from his family, now she's gone and hooked herself up with another married man, and a friggin papparazzi to boot.

I agree with everyone that she needs mental help and the people she is surrounded by are not condusive to her getting help, but I'm not going to pity her because the courts are finally taking the actions that they should have done years ago.

Its about time men have equal rights, and opportunities when it comes to parenting, and its about time that us women are held to the same standards as the men that we, for years were high above (according to the family laws).

As for K-Fed furnishing the sperm, well really up until now all Britney has done is furnished the womb. I hope she gets the opportunity to change that in the future but for right now I think the children are where they should be, atleast until she gets medical help. :)

89. PEACE TO YOU NIKKI. I WORKED 12 HOURS TODAY. HOW ABOUT YOU???? GLAD WE HAVE SUCH COMPASSIONATE HUMAN BEANS OUT THERE!!! WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY.

90. K-Fed's lawyer is clearly taking advantage and is sucking Britney dry and for as much as the court will allow him . This is obscene. The court should tell him NO. If the court says yes, then Britney has no choice but to pay his obscene amount of money. Has anybody tallied up how much K-Fed's legal fees have added up versus Britneys.
