Name: Sam Lutfi AKA: Osamah Lutfi, Osama Lutfi Born: August 16, 1974 Hometown: L.A. Title: Producer

---

According to IMDB, he was the producer of a few movies we never heard of a few years ago, Crossing Cords (2001) (associate producer), Circles (1998) (executive producer), Bug Buster (1998) (producer). These are obvious failures. His film “career” seems to end in 2001.

He did get an “extra special thanks “ for Underworld (2003) and Underworld: Evolution (2006) … whatever the hell that means. I am pretty sure it means… friends to the director or producer, or coffee boy, etc. but no actual involvement in the production. Those are successes he wasn’t really a part of.

MSN lists him as producer for SFX: Life Behind Bars (2001) a 48 minute movie about dirt biking.

His LinkedIn claims he is an "Independent Media Production Professional", has 8 connections and says he went to USC. He is currently interested in contacts for “consulting offers”, “new ventures”, “expertise requests”, “getting back in touch”.

No one ever really heard or talked about him before October 2007 when he went to the DMV with Britney to get her Cali driver’s license and now he’s known as “Britney Spears Friend”, “sidekick”, “cling-on”, “Howard K. Stern”, and sometimes “producer”. FOX Sources say he was introduced to her by her mother, Lynn. According to public documents, he’s had numerous tax liens and a couple of lawsuits brought against him. FOX also says his real name is Osamah Lutfi.

In 2000, he lost a judgment of $34,246 when a San Francisco cleaning company sued him and his partner, D-movie producer Ted Collins (aka Edward W. Collins III). According to records, the judgment has not been satisfied. They worked together on two failures Circles and Bug Buster.

At the end of October, there was a rumor that he had stolen Britney’s diary and was trying to sell it to the tabloids for some $2 million.

Sam Lutfi’s Quotes About Britney:

Regarding the pregnancy rumor: “It’s BS. Don’t know who made it up. J.R. doesn’t even know what’s up. It’s fake. Completely fake. Just wrapped her music video. Going home to sleep.”

Regarding the X17 charity auction: “It’s something Britney wanted to do to counterbalance all the rumors and negativity in the press. All she can do is be herself, love her kids and do small things like this to help people.”

Regarding trying to sell Britney’s diaries: "Britney doesn’t have any diaries."

Regarding losing custody of her sons: “She is doing okay, it has been a rough day. But she is feeling very optimistic about the future.”

Regarding the missed drug tests that count as failures: "There were scheduling conflicts and some errors in communication as to times and places for drug tests, etc., but they're all squared away now."

It’s amazing how two people can only be friends for like two months and basically live together. It’s also amazing how someone with utter failures can still call himself a “producer”. Maybe his latest producing project is Britney. Only problem is that he produces unsuccessful horror and sports flicks, not exactly the production qualities a pop star needs. Oh well. I don’t know him but his resume sucks. I wouldn’t hire him to clean my apt nevermind anything more important. God, why does she like these losers?

JAN 08 UPDATE: New Details from Blender

6. The wingman

When Sam Lutfi met britney last year, they were both going through transitions. She had begun distancing herself from all of her old intimates; he had been barred by a restraining order from contacting Danny Haines, a 29-year-old man from Orange County who had been his close friend for two years.

There are at least two other outstanding restraining orders against Lutfi. Documents for both cases demonstrate his violent temper. This third case, however, raises deeper and more chilling questions about Lutfi’s character, and about his relationship with Britney.

Danny Haines, who spoke exclusively with Blender, met Sam Lutfi on MySpace in the fall of 2005. Haines was at a low ebb when they met, he says. The bare outlines of his situation bear some resemblance to Britney’s: His professional life was adrift, his relationships with old friends and family were in disrepair and he had some secrets that he didn’t want anyone to know.

Lutfi was fun to be with. He claimed to be friends with celebrities from Kate Beckinsale to Roseanne Barr, and he seemed to know every nightclub bouncer in L.A. With Lutfi, Haines says, “it seemed like you could break all the rules.”

Their fun was fueled by long, confessional conversations in which Haines described his unsatisfying, distant relationships with his family. Lutfi’s account of his own background—he grew up in a tight-knit family in Woodland Hills, California, where his mother reportedly owns several gas stations—sounded ideal by comparison.

Haines says Lutfi wanted to know everything about him—­every secret, every problem—and Haines complied. It seemed that nothing shocked Lutfi, even when Haines, who is straight, told him about some X-rated, homoerotic modeling he had done for a photographer he’d met online.

Haines remembers the night when Lutfi offered to straighten out his life: “He said, ‘I can help you. I can help your parents. But you need to be honest with me. If you’re lying to me about anything, I’ll know.’”

To Haines’s fractured ego, Lutfi’s social skills and emotional intelligence were magnetic. He encouraged Haines to “stand up for myself” and at the same time worked to become indispensable to him. Lutfi ingratiated himself with Haines’s family, acting as a go-between and informal counselor.

Haines says their relationship was not romantic or sexual but that Lutfi was more jealous than a lover. He could be supportive one day and vicious the next, leaving voicemails tracing extremes from “You’re a worthless motherfucker” to “I love you, man. I love you to death.” He says that although Lutfi also made some feckless gestures toward an old-fashioned con job—Haines claims Lutfi borrowed about $18,000 that he did not pay back, though Lutfi’s mother finally settled much of the debt—Lutfi reserved most of his energy for emotional blackmail and extortion. “Everybody hates you,” he wrote to Haines, suggesting that Haines should just kill himself: “Seriously, sleeping pills, LOTS of them … ” (Lutfi declined to comment for this story.)

When Haines finally cut the cord, Lutfi humiliated him. He ­e-mailed naked photographs of Haines to his family, friends, colleagues and employer. Then he texted and called incessantly, telling Haines he hoped his sister would be “raped to death,” according to the restraining order. In an e-mail about Haines’s mother (“that Mormon bitch”), Lufti wrote, “I hope Satan devours her flesh and bones,” and said he looked forward to the day when he would “piss on [her] burial.”

Such communications moved Haines to seek the restraining order, which also protects his mother from being contacted by Lutfi. A few months later, Haines says that Lutfi called his brother-in-law to say he’d met a celebrity whom he wanted to set Haines up with. Later, Haines saw photographs of Lutfi with Spears in the tabloids. In those pictures, Lutfi was wearing a bodybuilding shirt and baseball cap that he had taken from Haines.

Haines, whose relationship with Lutfi was the subject of a few obscure blog comments after Lutfi’s other restraining orders were reported in December, says that he subsequently received an e-mail from Lutfi’s sister’s address, which he read as a warning: “One of your friends is writing to some magazines about your history with my brother … I don’t think that’s wise for him to do.” The warning came with what sounded like a threat: “Those pictures and your history isn’t so positive either and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that to be public as well.”

Informed of the details of Haines’s relationship with Lutfi, Jamie and Lynne Spears, who declined to discuss Lutfi on the record, both expressed grave concern to Blender about his ongoing involvement in their daughter’s life and have encouraged Haines to go public with the story.

“If Sam’s not doing anything wrong with Britney, if he’s not ­worried about being exposed,” Haines asks, “why would his sister be saying, Don’t talk about my brother and his past?”

Britney showed at least a glimmer of sanity when, on Saturday, January 5, she reportedly ignored “Dr. Phil” McGraw, the TV therapist who surprised her at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, then spoke about the visit to Entertainment Tonight. But even he would have been an improvement on Lutfi, who, Haines says, described himself as an “unlicensed counselor” in the court hearing that led to the restraining order.

The symbiosis between stars and sleazebags is as old as show business. The story rarely has a happy ending (see Anna Nicole Smith), and talent alone saves no one (see Judy Garland). Lutfi’s personal history adds a frightening element to the unsavory task of forecasting Britney’s fate.

Jan 31: Texting at UCLA with Britney

Brit's companion Sam Lutfi, texted us early this morning to give us his side of the story and this is how it went ...

» Me: u there?

» Me: so the doc's requested u so u could give her recent medical history?
» Sam: Yes.
» Me: Is Lynne pissed at you? Why is Adnan there?
» Sam: Lynne didn't want to go along with the doctor trying to get her help 'case she was worried Britney would blame her for it. Britney learned that Lynne has been in contact with Adnan these past few weeks and was furious over that ... Britney was suffering a mental breakdown. She's been under the care of Deborah Nadel this past week. After today's visit, the doctor felt Britney needed to be hopitalized.
» Me: So Nadel suggested the hospitalization?
» Sam: Yes, Deborah did.
» Me: Is Brit going to stay at UCLA for a while?
» Sam: A few days at least.
» Me: Was she asleep when they brought her in? Did she go willingly?
» Sam: Wasn't asleep. Went willingly.
» Me: Why did her mom rush to the house? Who called her? Seemed like an emergency. Did the doc really think Brit would hurt herself?
» Sam: No, doc was concerned more about the driving. Not suicide.
» Me: And why was she not sleeping the past two days? A manic episode?
» Sam: Yes.

Feb 01: Sam talks about her parents more...

"Oh boy, her family is crazy!" Lutfi told Usmagazine.com

"It's funny because that's what the doctors say when they meet the family," he added. "They always come back and say, 'You know, [her problems] are inherited, right?'

"It's just so sad. It's shared equally from both of her parents."

He told Us the singer doesn't "trust anything that her family says? Not a g----n thing."

He said they have tried to stage multiple interventions and that Thursday's move was "at least their fourth" attempt.

When the singer heard Lynne had arrived Sunday night, Lutfi said Britney asked him, 'Is my mom really here?' I said, 'Yeah, she's here.' And she's like, 'Oh great, you know they're up to something.'

"They show up to the house like hillbillies, texting me," Lutfi continued. "I find out that they're outside, and they go, 'You better let me in the gate, you ass.' So I go, to Britney, 'Your parents are here, let them come in and yell at you and scream at you. If anything else goes on, I'll throw you in my car and take you out of here.' She said, 'OK, fine, baby.'

"I let them in. Instead of going to see how Britney is, they come bouncing through the doors. They scream at me, 'Why the f---k are you talking to Barbara Walters?' I swear to God that's all they were saying.

"The dad pushed me in the chest and said, 'Get the f-k out of here.'

"The dad gave up and then the mom tried to talk to her, but Lynne was like, 'I gotta get my beauty sleep, I gotta get my nails done, I gotta do my hair.' It was just so sick. We made the mom stay."

Lutfi said the singer suffers from "mixed state bipolar" and has had it for "roughly five years." (A person suffering from "mixed state bipolar" experiences symptoms of mania and depression at the same time.)

He said he has told the singer, "'Britney, do you see why people think you are crazy? Look at your mother and look at your father.'"

Feb 05: A so-called ex-friend, Ken Dungey, details and txts from Sam Lutfi

Sam called on the night I had my birthday party on Saturday the 19th, he had Britney sing Happy Birthday to me then she got on the phone and talked to me for a minute. Then Sam wanted to display his power he has against her.

Sam said “watch this, see how much control I have over her” and he said” Britney, I’m going to go to Orange County to Ken’s for his Birthday party” Sam always held the phone up so I could hear whatever Britney was saying. Anyways, I heard Britney say ok, let me get my jacket, then Sam whispered and chuckled and said to me “watch this” then he said ” no Britney, I’m going to go by myself, she went crazy starting to cry and said :” no Sam please don’t leave me here alone” and she was at his knees and he was laughing saying ” get up off the floor bitch.” then she ran out of the room crying and yelling.

These are the things I want to get out so everyone can see how he really treats her behind closed doors.

UPFATE: FEB 08 2008:

A source on the inside the LA County Police Department has told me that the police captain is deeply concerned with the deposition made by Lynne Spears about Sam Lutfi and they are looking to possibly press charges.

This means in the next couple of days Lutfi could face possible jail time for admitting he had drugged and manipulated Britney Spears.

I just made a call to Michael Sands, Lutfi's new publicist who said he would 'look into the situation and ring me back within an hour.'

Source

UPDATE: What about these alleged charges from the LAPD that are being filed against Sam for drugging and manipulating Britney?

"If alleged charges are filed against Sam for drugging and manipulating Britney, I believe they may be misinformed. Because Britney Spears has been undergoing mandatory drug testing as required by the courts. It is known publicly that spears has been going through drama with the shaving of her head and drugs prior to Sam entering her life last October."

Why did Sam give her prescription medications when he is not a doctor?

"Sam had been giving prescription medication smashed up to Spears via a psycho-pharmacologist. It was a cocktail of sorts. It was pills that she had to take and he took care of her."

Who was Sam to Britney?

"Sam was Spears manager. if you look at the movie "Frances," Britney is the 21st century version of Frances Farmer. Spears has mental illness called 'bipolar disorder,' I know this because my ex-wife suffered from it."

What was Sam's thought about her recent hospitalization?

"What her family did by putting her away and locking her up like Farmer, as some monster, was totally wrong. She needs to be put on good medication and not receive the type of treatment she currently is."

Was Sam using her for money?

"You know what JJ, you need to speak to Howard Grossman..He has all of her money. Do you think he is trying to help her? Sam doesn't run her financial empire and never has. "

Who is Adnan?

"Adnan is the culprit of the videos and photos being sold. Not Sam. Adnan was married two times and he will probably be deported soon because he used his last wife just to have citizenship in the states. He actually sold his story for a lot of money to EntertainmentTonight and the Insider, despite reports of that being untrue. I know this for a fact!!! He is using her just as much as he has used everyone else he has come in contact with."

Last word?

"Sam is out of Spears life completely and has hired me to speak on his behalf. He won't be doing any sit downs with media in any form. That isn't his style!"
