Lutfi's New Publicist Makes No Sense

TMZ just spoke to Sam Lutfi's new publicist (and former Mark Vincent Kaplan media consultant), Michael Sands, and it looks like Sands is a big fan of making little sense.


At one point in the conversation, Sands told TMZ Lutfi doesn't get any money from Britney, and that Howard Grossman is her actual manager. Moments later, he said of Sam, "What's the problem here? Guy trying to make a buck managing Britney Spears, not bad. Smart move!" Perhaps, if you like restraining orders.

Sands also said all drugs Sam fed to Brit were "prescription medication cocktails," and that Lutfi's main goal is to "save Britney Spears' life."

16. PLEASE READ AND PASS ALONG....GO TO BITTENANDBOUND FOR MORE INFO Bitten and Bound has received a lot of attention since posting ourexclusive story with details of disturbing text messages Sam Lutfisent to Ken Dungey and Danny Haines. We began focusing on Lutfi back in December after we received anemail from Dungey regarding Britney Spears ‘manager.’ Dungey wasinstrumental in getting out chilling information regarding Lutfi’sprior restraining orders. We have since received information from two other sources withthreatening text messages from Sam Lutfi. We posted BriannePatterson’s experience with Lutfi, however, our other source is notready to come forward just yet. In addition to Bitten and Bound, oursource has been talking with CBS after they contacted us for thestory they ran this morning on The Early Show. Unfortunately, I am a technological idiot, so all I have from TheEarly Show at this point is the screen shot above until I can figureout how to use the video feature on my camera and upload it to mycomputer

19. Wow...is this whole situation cloning Anna Nicole's or what? "And Introducing!:.....Sam Lutfi as Howard K. Stern, Adnan as Larry Birkhead, Lynne Spears as Virgie Arthur, etc., etc., etc. My stomach turns everytime I read or hear something new about either Britney or the enablers that surrounded Anna Nicole. Unfortunately, if Britney doesn't follow through with help now and continue with the treatment, I don't foresee her lasting past the end of 2008. I've dealt with similiar types of issues, both mental and medication-wise. They are a lethal combination when prescriptions are abused. I was on the brink of ending it all (and at times, I find myself still trying to fight off those thoughts). I live a normal life and I can only imagine what Britney must be suffering with in her mind in trying to function as a regular person while being stalked by EVERYONE. I constantly hear in the media that she makes excessive trips to gas stations, stores, etc. as she is seeking the attention. I firmly believe that the girl believes these little excursions may be the closest she is EVER going to get to having a normal life, which is why she tries to experience them. It makes me really sad, as did Anna Nicole. I'm praying for you, Ms. Spears. I'm also praying that you get well enough to watch your boys grow up. The toddler time is the best.

24. This is so stupid…Sam probably has photos/video he’ll be hocking soon and this guy just wants a piece of the action.

Next we’ll see him (PR guy) on Larry King becoming “famous”…as a jackass.

Good move posting this! Hope lots of people help!

Sands - does he really think that whatever Sam is paying him is worth taking him onasa client?
No-one believe the BS he is spouting on behalf of Sam. Just because they are presription drugs, doen't make it legal to give to someone!

Sands, join Streisand in the queue to get some free publicity behind all the rest!

27. THIS SANDS CHARACTER IS A TOTAL DOUCHE BAG!!!

LUFTI IS A CRIMINAL AND PROBABLY STOLE MUCHO DINERO FROM BRIT!!

BOTH SANDS AND LUFTI SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY FOR THE GOOD OF BRITS SAFETY!!

28. This is too weird people! I think Lufti was hired by Federline to feed Brit drugs to make or look like an ufit mother or kill her so Federline can get all her money. Its a setup and Brit plays right into their hands! Smarten up Brit!

29. He sounds like he had too much to drink. Or maybe Sam Luftie is drugging him?

Posted at 10:23PM on Feb 7th 2008 by Janice

30. He insults the intellect of the General Public. We are not all uneducated slobs. Mr. Sands: you are Intellectually Offensive. Better use another approach. We are not falling for your rhetoric.
