Tragic absurdity American Style - Elvis: the sequel?
It looks like the fight for Britney Spear's soul has entered round 2. Round 1 was when her father Jamie sent ne'er do wells Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib packing. It was after that the ugly picture of drugging and embezzlement started to emerge. To be specific Lutfi is believed to have crushed up medications such as Respiradon and Seraquel into the singer's food, perhaps to keep her in a docile state while he helped himself to her money. She certainly seemed to improve once Lutfi was out of the picture.the lowdown on the showdown
When there is a lot of money in the hands of a confused and impressionable person you won't keep the crooks away for long and Lutfi has mounted a spirited counter attack. Perhaps in response to Jamie Spears numerous restraining orders (which I understand have never been served since no one is able to find Lutfi), Sam is making some startling claims. According to Lutfi the Spears clan have known that Britney was nuts for some time. They just didn't want to admit it to themselves. In fact Brit has been diagnosed as bi polar, but her parents kept shopping around for a more positive diagnosis.
The truth hurts, doctor - what do you have in a better prognosis??
What might the reason for this doctor shopping be? Well Sam has a theory for that one too. He believes that Brit's parents didn't want to accept the full extent of their daughter's mental problems. They may have even hoped to keep it quiet so that Britney could keep working and supporting the family. It draws to mind a picture of the worried Spears clan huddled around some high priced specialist and asking "Doctor, will our little girl ever dance half naked in front of a live studio audience again?" A family has got to maintain hope in such circumstances.
I got signed papers, and some of them might even be legit!
To hear Lutfi tell it you would think that he is the only friend that Britney has. Perhaps that's why he's tried to pressure Jamie Spears into stepping down as conservator. Apparently he's threatened to make a lot of embarrassing stuff public unless the conservatorship is lifted (worse than we've already seen??). He also took the step of getting a lawyer. According to the National Enquirer Lutfi presented the attorney with a lot of paper work that he claimed was signed by Spears. However the docs were such obvious forgeries that Lutfi was laughed out of the office.
Hit me baby one more time?
Now you might wonder where Lutfi could get the idea that he could actually pull this off. Well believe it or not he has been in contact with Britney, via text message, through out January. So the fact that she would still give him the time of day after the shit he's pulled must be strong encouragement. The girl has shown a remarkable ability not to learn from experience, so Lutfi may well feel that this is worth a try. There is some good news - apparently after being informed of Lutfi's plans, Britney has broken off communication with him. Still you can't be too hard on the lad for fighting over Brit. She's a very valuable entertainment commodity!
Creepiness - Octomom has even more in common with her idol
In other news: Angelina Jolie has made an official statement on Octomom. Nadya "Octomom" Suleman is the woman who tried to become Jolie by having 14 kids and getting artificial 'puffy lips'. It has even been revealed that Suleman tried to get in touch with Jolie via the usual fan mail/stalker letters in which she tells AJ she's talented and an inspiration. Jolie says, via her spokespersons, that she finds Octomom 'creepy'. Now considering that Jolie is the woman who married Billy Bob Thornton and then ran around with a vial of his blood around her neck, that's saying something. Jolie seems much more like the sort of person who gives people the creeps, rather gets them.
