Celebrity Justice
Brit to Sam -- Have a Bitchin' Spring

TMZ has learned Sam Lutfi has agreed to back off the Brit for another 30 days.

We've learned Lutfi and the conservators have avoided the court showdown tomorrow by agreeing to extend the restraining order against Lutfi for 30 days. Under the existing order, which expires tomorrow, Lutfi must stay 2 1/2 football fields away from the Britster and basically have no contact with her at all. The parties have agreed to extend that order.

The Commish will sign off on the extension at the hearing tomorrow.

Sources tell TMZ there was a meeting between Lutfi and the conservators last week. Lutfi had been locked and loaded to fight any extension -- so it appears something that happened during that meeting changed his mind.

We're told Lutfi believes the restraining order extension is a good thing for both him and Brit.

no apology needed for your content. For those who only have the attention span of a comic book or who just are not in the mood for a longer post, they have the freedom in their own home to go beyond it. It really irks me when someone comes on a BLOG and complains that something is too long when the power is in their grasp to read or not to read.

i find the longer posts have more to say, because they have more to say and we all usually learn something new.

213. To Rat: if indeed Sam had no control over Britney's life, then he was totally useless to her, and all he offered to her was to be a cheerleader and an enabler of her continuing self-destructive acts.

You are totally stupid for trying to judge him for what he _could_ _have_ done in Britney's life if he was legally responsible. He never was legally responsible and never could be, and therefore, there was no way that he could help Britney the way that her dad has been doing.

Furthermore, Sam has been asserting publicly to the press that Britney's parents are bad for her. This might be true about Lynne, but it has proven to be a total piece of BS when referring to Jamie, who is finally injecting a positive direction into Britney's life.

214. As for whether Britney's current legal team have dirt on Sam ...

My guess is that if Britney's team had any evidence that Sam did anything that he could be arrested for, they wouldn't have any qualms about turning it over to the police and letting them have a go at him.

So they must have used something else to convince him not to contest the restraining order. My guess is that they demonstrated to him that if he fights this, they will expose him in court, under oath, as a liar, a manipulator, and an exploiter of Britney. Sam probably just realized that it's in the best interest of his reputation and cred (such as they are) to back down.

215. The person we have been seeing isn't Britney, but rather, a decoy planted by the U.S. government because Britney is too important to the national security of our country. She has been planning to join Adnan and go Pakistan so that she can become the new leader of the PPP after taking over the role of the late Benazir Bhutto. The Taliban have been targeting Britney ever since she decided to do this, and the U.S. is working to protect her.

Another thing: this whole thing about Britney being stupid and mentally ill is just a front. She actually has an I.Q. of 2,491 and she has already discovered some new laws of physics which when applied, will allow all of us to extract unlimited amounts of energy from caffeine molecules. When a working model of the energy device that Britney invented finally comes out, we'll be able to power the entire United States for a year on three cups of coffee. That's why Britney has been seen so much at Starbucks.

Also, Britney has been working with the Interdimensional Police to keep the Atomic Mole People from destroying our galaxy cluster with a Chronosynclastic Infundibulum that they stole from the Tralfamadorians. With her astronmical intelligence and her Super Pop-Tart Powers, Britney is the one and only person who can save our galaxy and the galaxies of all good, decent, God-loving sentient beings from horrible, agonizing destruction and certain death.

As for Sam Lutfi, he's actually just a projection into our world of an 11-dimensional Bandersnatchian Genital Parasite.

216. Lufti AGREED to it?? What arrogance. It is a court order that he had no choice in! It had NOTHING to do with his opinion. What an ass. Acting like he still has control. He is truly divorced from reality. He's the one who needs a physc. evaluation. They should make the order permanant, so he can't get his greedy little paws on her money again.

217. According to more than one news source, Lufti has a shady history prior to his befriending Spears.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. It will all come out in time, should there be anything.
This is quite a read, but it is hardly CNN. http://britneybash.com/2007/12/02/who_sam_lutfi

218. 197. Anyone else notice that TMZ's reporter and editor flunked sixth grade math? The restraining order calls for Lutfi to stay 250 feet away. That's NOT the length of two-and-a-half footballl fields. A football field is 100 yards, not feet. (Hey TMZ: Sorry to inform you, but 250 feet is less than one football field.)

At any rate, the way those 2 guys acted, I can't blame people for making the comparison ... why don't they defile and embarass an Iranian family by destroying an Iranian young woman, and see what HER family does to them ???? GO BACK TO IRAN, NOW. Sam(rat0, Adnan, and Adnan's CRAZY wife. GET OUT !!!

221. AP is reporting that Lutfi today (representing himself) filed an objection to Commissioner Goetz:

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears' friend Osama "Sam" Lutfi has filed papers objecting to the Superior Court commissioner assigned to the pop star's conservatorship case.

Lutfi filed the papers Friday, but was not present for a hearing Monday at which Commissioner Reva Goetz extended a temporary restraining order against him until April 16.

His one-sentence filing said: "Please take notice that Osama "Sam" Lutfi will not stipulate to the above-referenced case being heard by Reva Goetz, commissioner presiding, to whom the above-entitled case has been assigned."

Sam, ol' buddy, have you heard the phrase "snowball's chance"?
