All Things Britney Spears Part 6

[lorann]

snipped

I think what really pushed Britney over the edge was her pregnancies. The hormonal inbalances, etc. That and the fact her marriage was falling apart - Kevin was out partying all the time and she was home. She missed the spot light being on her. She'd had that for years...

I don't think her parents can be blamed for pushing her over the edge. And, in this instance, I believe they can be trusted over anyone else close to her. I think her 'manager' Sam is a snake as is the boyfriend. I think both are in it for themselves.

The hormone thing might have pushed her over the edge - add that to Bi-Polar - Wow, all the stuff that must be running through her head!

It is too bad she doesn't have someone who has so much money who really cares about her in her life. They could take the burden of handling the money to protect it. I do think the parent's care enough but are just not experienced or equipped enough to handle making health decisions. Her mother tried right after the head shaving but Brit was too far gone by then. Better professionals with parents in the wings just to let her know they love her and are there for her. If she was my kid, I would love her enough to let her be mad at me for now, hoping for reconciliation when she's better - if she ever is. So sad. She's been let down by so many, let's hope a good judge doesn't do the same.

By all reports, she was very close to both of them.

Not her father Jules.

Not her father Jules.

Hmmmmm... I've never heard that. Thanks.

 

[deanws]

Hmmmmm... I've never heard that. Thanks.

I guess she is still fighting with her cousin? Any one here know? I am not sure if she is a good or a bad influence.

Sorry Am. I disagree. I don't believe for a second they sold her to Hollywood. They didn't sell her to anything. I would venture to guess Britney wanted to act and sing. I would also venture to guess that she begged them to let her do it. I've seen her in concert before (not something I brag about - took my daughter ) and she is very talented. She puts on a good show.

I saw a compilation video over the weekend of her Star Search performances when she was 10 and some of the Mickey Mouse Club performances she did at 12. Unbelievable the gift she had. BIG voice and stage presence, she owned the stage, a producer at Star Search called her a "force of nature". He wasn't kidding, you could feel her desire.

Her later performances in her late teens, wow, the body she had and the dancing, double WOW. Her voice had changed though. The BIG voice was gone.

No, she isn't. Ali was off to the hospital with the group the night Britney was put in again and the next day she was pictured bringing Britney shampoo, etc. But I think she may be seen as bad influence. She was in the Sam camp, said Britney really trusted him and that they had met him through mutual friends.

What about her sister? Seems like she would have a close relationship with her sister, since they are both in the business.

 

[Mygirlsadie]

I think she obviously loves her sister and vice versa but her sister is still just a teen.. Britney is a grown adult. Not to mention her sister has a few of her own issues going on. I don't think Jaime would be able to handle her anyway she isn't educated on mental illness. (not that I know of anyway)

Conservators to Lutfi -- Open the Damn Door!
Posted Feb 4th 2008 5:16PM by TMZ Staff

In court just a few minutes ago, a lawyer for the conservators said they have been trying to serve Sam Lutfi with a restraining order prohibiting him from seeing Brit, but he has refused to open the door to accept service.

They mentioned that Lutfi has spoken on the phone with Britney, allegedly in violation of the restraining order.

TMZ knows Lutfi had indeed spoken with Britney over the weekend.

I had just read that. WTH, just because someone doesn't accept the paper's doesn't make a court order null, does it?

They have a lot of info coming out. I was surprised to read Britney was already in the middle of an IRS audit, $17 million. WOW. She has 15 businesses!!

 

[CW]

To be honest I'm not 100% sure but I do believe one does have to be served, but I'd love for Jeana to give her input she would no 100% if one has to be served or not for the restraining order to be in effect. All I can say about the IRS audit is wOw I'm begining to wonder if k-fed isn't behind a lot of this trying to push her over the edge knowing he would get most of her $ for boys since he's gained soul custody. Nothing would truly surprise me regarding k-fed,sure he acts like he cares but that don't mean he truly does.

I hope Jeana comes in today. I've been doing some digging for info, so far I know if the judge rules he violated the restraining order, Lufti could be held in contempt and thrown in jail, but I'm still trying to get to the bottom of how him not accepting service comes into play.

And what about Lufti's grandeouse meanderings to the media over the weekend that he would be in Court today to fight for Brit's wishes and to defend himself against the conservators? Guess he got cold feet.

My guess is he knows that once they audit the books...his butt is going to be in a sling. (Just a guess though.)

 

[CW]

IMO I believe he didn't show up because he knew if he did he would be served with the restraining order.

What else was decided in court today?

 

[KatK]

Well, can't they get the police to do the serving?

 

[CW]

Yes but they haven't been able to hand serve them to him. The artical I posted above stated he wasn't aswering his door.

[KatK]

Can't the police arrest him for not opening the door, or will that take a judge's order? Isn't there any way at all to make the person accept the restraining order?! There ought to be, otherwise they can c*block till Kingdom comes and never have to follow the rules. :furious:

I don't think there have been any reported decisions. The previously scheduled custody hearing went down, but it seems all the issues were continued for a later date. No changes in custody.
