Celebrity Justice
Judge to Sam -- Stay Away from Britney!

The judge in the hearing today has issued a restraining order against Sam Lutfi -- ordering him to stay away from Britney Spears.

The judge found that Lutfi has been harassing Britney. Thus the civil harassment restraining order.

This will effectively bar Lutfi from going to the hospital.

The restraining order is in effect for 22 days, but court observer and uber-attorney Goldie Schon tells TMZ that Brit's folks could turn it into a permanent order at the end of those 22 days.

Story developing ...

332. I honestly don't feel her parents know how to help Britany. I do believe Sam and Ali are the only ones she trusts, so why remove them from her life? They need to all come together and work as a team and quit blaming each other. The poor gal is quite ill and needs thier help, all of them.

333. Bee, you have misunderstood my post. Where did I say that this has something to do with Adnans skin colour??.. We agree that there can be rotten apples in every basket. But in some baskets there are more than others. Have you read the links I provided? I doubt you had taken the time to do that. Of course not every muslim is a terrorist, "but every terrorist is a muslim". I didn't say that, it was an arab (muslim yes) newspaper commentator that said this in a column a time ago. People exploiding others for their own gain are found everywhere. But if you come from a muslim family you are MORE likely to be not trusted because of what islam TEACHES its followers. That you will see if you bookmark those links and read those pages. You say you live in Ummah Kingdom, the number one country leading the race to become a part of Eurabia. Don't come crying when your country are sharia ruled by those mullahs. My first post tried to point out the danger of befriending someone who comes from a backround where they are raised to despite everything we here in the free world holds high, and all you could do was to yell back and defend a "religion" you say you don't even belong to. Well, if you could leave chatolisism then I guess you also wouldn't mind taking a critical and objective look at islam and its teachings. After the London bombing in july 2005, you could read in almost every paper that neighbours and families of the suicide bombers were shocked by the fact that this "hard working, tax paying, good, smart, family oriented guys" - would do such a thing. It usually is that way. Now, do you or do you not think that this might have something to do with what they have feed their brain with?

335. Judging by the people in Britney's life, I wouldn't necessarily say that Sam is the worst of the lot.

336. This guy is a hanger-oner for his own profit - he really sucks up to Brit because thats his meal ticket, at least her family has her best interest at heart and blood is thicker than water no matter what her mom and dad will ALWAYS be there and all these suck ups will come and go they are a dime a dozen looking to get everything they can for themselves. I hope her family succeeds at getting her the help she needs and I think it was a smart move to start getting rid of the USERS and ass wipes in her life.

337. At best, Lufti is an enabler.. at worst, a manipulator and leach.

He's not family. He has no job except to be Brit's "friend" and go getter.

I don't know if he's been taking from her to enrich himself, but he's certainly done her no good.

I think it's also quite possible that the Spears are concerned about Adnan's presence.

Brit may not be happy about her father being conservator, but the dual appointment of an independent conservator at Jamie Spear's insistence, indicates to me that her parents are just trying to look out for their daughter who has no sane judgement.

338. I hope this doesn't backfire, considering her relationship with her parents. The court should have appointed a neutral person.

339. I'm glad she's getting the help she needs. Why did it take so long? What were they waiting for, her to kill someone or herself?

340. Britney's drug and psychological problem were years in the making. I laugh how they think a few days in a mental institution will make any difference. A year is a beginning, several years is salvation.

341. I feel bad for britney, everyone should get out of her business.
On a funny side note,This photo of Britney in pink wig inside store, looks like a wig mannequin on the counter for display. Couldn't stop laughing when i seen it.

342. He reminds me of Howard Stern who everyone believed enabled Anna Nicole and we all know how that poor story ended.

343. i believe that beibg bi-polar is in the genes. most of the time passed down from a parent , so how come people think the sam guy is the problem. maybe it is one of them thats no good for her. i mean her dad was a drunk. maybe he was masking that with booze and really is a crazy too. family wise their is alot more going on their.

344. Well thats the first improvement on Britneys behalf Ive heard about in the last several years.
Run that BLOODSUCKER outa town.

345. EVERYBODY has used this poor girl...!!
Remember Justin Timberlake. He USED her to promote his career and completely DOGGED HER AND HER IMAGE in "cry me a river".
This girl is a mess. I give credit to her parents for bringing in a outside party regarding her $$.
Also, I think many people are hard on her mother. If you know what is it like to have a mentally disabled family member you would not be so quick to judge. I am sure Britney has said MANY hurtful things to her family which CAN make it hard to help.
I am sure Lynn Spears at many times has wanted to give up because of the pain but I am relieved to see they are NOT GIVING UP on their daughter. The Spears family needs to unite and stay strong. I am hoping for a happy outcome.
