Author Steve Dennis speaks without interruption ‘Britney: Inside the Dream’
Steve Dennis speaks via an email interview about his book, “Britney: Inside the Dream.” Dennis takes both Fair News Spears questions and to those of a bona fide Britney Spears fan who wishes anonymity. Dennis is the recognized ghostwriter for Paul Burrell who published two books from his life of service to the Queen of England and to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. You have a number of unnamed sources in your book. What was the most common reason people didn’t want to use their name? Some sources are named, some not. Some people cannot be seen to be co-operating but they wanted to assist a compassionate and true portrait of Britney. I think there is a perception that if one co-operates with a biographer, it amounts to betrayal. Within that...
Former security member continues lawsuit against Britney Spears, claims damages, emotional distress
A judge ruled yesterday that a lawsuit against Britney by a former member of her security team will go forward to a jury trial set for May 2010 according to the Los Angeles Superior Court case summary. The suit was filed by Kerry M. Vine against Spears and his former employer Advanced Security Concepts (ASC), a security team that works for her father and the conservatorship based on 2009 expenses filed by Jamie Spears earlier this year. Vine wants compensation for negligence, infliction of emotional distress and loss of wages says the complaint he filed in May 2009. ASC was dismissed from the case at the end of July and Gallagher Bassett Services, a company that insures employers against workmen’s compensation claims, was added per the case summary. In the...
Britney Spears’ ex-manager sues Christian publisher: libel, defamation charges threaten the religious
Spears’ ex-manager Sam Lutfi amended his complaint for libel and defamation damages to include the publisher of her mother’s book Through the Storm, A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, last Friday according to new filings at a Los Angeles County courthouse. The move came after Lynne Spears filed an appeal on Aug. 11, 2009 against a judge’s earlier decision to uphold Lutfi’s case. In short, the judge ruled that it was uncontested that Lynne had published a book, and that testimony namely by Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib, Britney’s ex-boyfriend, and Felipe Texeira, a paparazzo, established a legal basis to uphold Lutfi’s suit. Thomas Nelson, Inc. is a publisher and purveyor of Christian books such as bibles and tales of faith and...
Judge cancels Britney Spears’conservatorship review
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge canceled a scheduled conservatorship review case yesterday because there was nothing to talk about. The purpose of the review was to determine whether Spears could testify in a lawsuit against her by former manager Johnny Wright. That suit was settled and dismissed Jul. 9, 2009 in an Orange County, Fla. courthouse. However, the review was not taken off the calendar until yesterday or late last Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, an erroneous report by The Associated Press circled the Internet yesterday suggesting the review had been canceled due to attorneys who represent Jamie Spears in the conservatorship, being required elsewhere in proceedings involving Michael Jackson’s children yesterday. Since the Jackson case...
Did TMZ falsely report in Britney Spears’ conservatorship case?
If Jamie Spears plans to ask a judge to review the terms of the conservatorship to release his daughter anytime soon, he may want to let Judge Reva Goetz know before the next scheduled review set for August 3, 2009. TMZ reported last week that Jamie will ask the judge to review the terms of the conservatorship after Britney’s current tour ends in November. The story has received international attention through various media outlets, fan sites and independent bloggers. But not everyone believes the story. “That’s not true,” says Vania Stuelp, deputy public information officer of the Los Angeles Superior Court. Stuelp works closely with Judge Goetz. Her job requires talking to the judge in advance to know what’s coming going to happen in court so the...
