Courtney Love’s lawyers dump her as client

Singer Courtney Love doesn’t pay her legal fees and is impossible to work with. “Ms. Love has rendered it impossible for Pryor Cashman to carry out its employment effectively,” says lead counsel Jim Janowitz of New York. “She is completely unresponsive to Pryor Cashman’s attempts to contact her. She has cancelled meetings with me with barely any notice on several occasions and has refused the calls of other attorneys on her legal team at the firm. She has also refused to respond to our letters.” Calling it a complete breakdown in communication, Janowitz further states to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge that Courtney hasn’t paid Pryor Cashman in more than a year. The firm had represented Courtney in many high...

New February court date set, Sam Lutfi v. Britney Spears

The new judge in a lawsuit involving Sam Lutfi, Britney Spears and her parents, set a Feb. 28 status conference date last week. Lutfi filed suit four years ago on Feb. 3, 2009 after attorneys representing Spears, who is under a conservatorship, obtained a 3-year restraining order against him. Lutfi immediately sued members of the Spears’ family  claiming breach of contract, defamation, battery, and infliction of emotional distress.  Lutfi claims he was Spears’ manager in 2007 based on a verbal contract, say court records. A transition in judges postponed the set Jan. 23, 2012 jury trial date.  In January, the courts reassigned the Hon. Zaven V. Sinanian, who had been with the case for four years, to settlement conferences. Next, Spears’...

Court assigns new judge, delays Lutfi v. Spears trial

This week’s scheduled jury trial involving Britney Spears and her alleged former manager, Sam Lutfi, was postponed after a change of judge. The parties have ten days from Jan. 24 to contest the new judge or move to trial since early settlement conferences failed. Lutfi sued Spears in early 2009 for breach of contract.  He claims wrong termination and seeks his share of Spears’ entertainment earnings.  He sued her parents at the same time with allegations of defamation, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress within days of a judge ordering a permanent 3-year restraining order against him in February 2009. If the parties agree to the new judge, Michael C. Solner, he will rule on the admissibility recently filed court documents by...

Sam Lutfi demands Jamie Spears’ cash value

(under reconstruction – sorry!) I apologized to Lynne Spears in a dream two nights ago in front of Lou Taylor (I think) in a boardroom.  You may remember Lou as a business agent for the family? ‘I started rough,’ I say to Lynne, thinking back to “Five say Lynne Spears lied in her book.” In the dream, Sam Lutfi wrenches my wrist (ouch) from outside the room and forces me out through the front door.  Noone sees him do this but Lou’s a mind reader, but she’s all business.  She serves Lynne. The subconscious is what it is, but the dream makes sense as I had read new court docs in the ongoing Lutfi v. Spears case before going to bed. The docs disturbed me. Whereas last month, Sam and his lawyer tried to yank Lynne off the tour,...

Britney’s team wants to talk to Sam Lutfi, Breatheheavy.com (Part 4)

(Pardon site reconstruction — ugh.) I chuckled reading Radaronline’s claim of a lengthy engagement for Jason Trawick and Britney Spears based Britney’s status and lawsuits. Sam Lutfi v. Jamie, Lynne and Britney Spears? Expect a jury trial beginning Jan. 23, 2012 and ending within 10 days, based on today’s court records. Brand Sense v. Britney, Jamie and business rep, Lou Taylor? What would Britney say if deposed? I like Brand Sense, Daddy pay them? Ex-bodyguard? Pshaw. Happy holidays to Jason and Britney and may none but merry news find you on your travels. On to the naughty AND nice list I led to. Sam Lufti Deposition List_page1-2 Sam Lufti Deposition List_page2-1 Sam Lufti Deposition List_page3-1 Sam Lufti Deposition...
