Courtney Love Cobain’s lawyers told her former attorney, Keith A. Fink, to stop talking to the media after he continued to act as her spokesperson for more than a full month after she fired him.

“From Courtney’s perspective he is not her friend. He represented her for a period of time. She was unhappy and terminated him. She was not adequately represented. She wants nothing to do with him,” says one of Love’s current attorneys Michael J. Niborski, Pryor Cashman.

“At some point we had to contact him and tell him to stop representing her,” he says.

Superior Court expects Britney Spears next Friday

January 15, 2010 By 9 Comments

Was media the real reason Spears' appearance was canceled today? Courtesy, Kill the Lights.

Britney Spears is ordered to appear in court this coming Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. says Liz Martinez, a representative from the public affairs office at the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Spears was expected in court today but her appearance was unexpectedly canceled.

Tabloid site TMZ, the first to report the cancellation, says the commissioner and others were concerned about the media.

Spears faces the beginning of her third year under the conservatorship of her person solely by her father effective Monday, Feb. 1. Her estate has been under a co-conservatorship of her father and privately retained attorney Andrew Wallet.

Many across the blogosphere had thought she would freed once her Circus tour concluded as certain tabloids had promoted the idea that the continued arrangement was necessary due to insurance.

Spears has gained visitation-only privileges with her children since the conservatorship began. Kevin Federline, ex-husband, retains sole custody.

Next Friday will mark Spears’second court appearance since the conservatorship began.

Media omits lawyer and judge relationships between Britney and Jamie Spears, and Courtney Love Cobain

December 19, 2009 By 9 Comments

Hi, this is still a blog right?  Happy holidays then.

I wrote the following comment on Courtney Love Cobain’s Facebook wall.  There had been some confusion there between her fans and those who follow Britney Spears.  I thought about it later and realized that not all readers may know about the twist in the case of Courtney losing legal control over her daughter and later also receiving a temporary restraining order.

Suffice. The lawyers involved in Courtney’s case are the same lawyers who work for Jamie Spears and the conservatorship. The judge is also the same as documents from TMZ reveal.

On to the post:

I have a few more minutes here and then I am going outside, but I thought to explain to those unfamiliar with Britney Spears’conservatorship case who some of the players are. If you open the documents through the TMZ link posted two hours ago, you will see attorneys Geraldine Wyle, Jeryll S. Cohen, and the Hon. Reva Goetz.

Google any of those names plus Spears and conservatorship and you are sure to find them in connection. Wyle and Cohen both work for Jamie Spears and I believe they were involved from the beginning of the conservatorship in Feb. 2008.

TMZ knows that as does the AP and any other news organization that covers courtroom news or celebrity gossip but none of them are saying it. TMZ only shows the document that is six pages but they do not help readers make the connection back to Jamie Spears and the conservatorship. One clearly also sees the Hon. Reva Goetz. She’s the one who ruled on Feb. 4, 2008 that based on the court appointed attorney’s meeting with Britney at UCLA that she did not understand legal proceedings and lacked capacity to hire her own lawyer. A simple search of journalist Linda Deutsch and capacity should bring up all that drama that also involved Adam Streisand who is now working with the Jackson family. … See More

I do believe that the connection between Courtney Love Cobain and Jamie Spears is fascinating and that it was irresponsible for the media to omit it (hide? conceal?) and distract us instead with tales of clothing designers and lawsuits based on Twitter. And. That they continue to. I don’t know if Courtney will keep any of this info up but hopefully at least some of you will see what is happening and be less confused. Happy holidays.

Author’s note: I posted this and other information more specific to Courtney’s case and media treatment on her Facebook account, if interested. She is listed under Courtney Love Cobain and if you follow her as a fan you may learn more of her story and how strangely it is connected back to Britney Spears. For those who don’t know, Courtney claimed over the Thanksgiving holiday that Jamie molested his daughter.

Lou Taylor, a Spears’family spokesperson has not directly refuted the claim. Instead she was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying, “”We’re not commenting on Courtney Love, or any aliens who might come to Earth to impregnate people.”

Courtney responded, after seeing the story on her Facebook account, “I went to Sting and Trudys “Twin Spirits” wonderful Schullman letters event and sat with my dearest friend Stipe (Michael) tonight, not that the names matter, but I didn’t see ONE alien impregnating ANYONE!” (some punctuation added by Fair News Spears.)

Update: More of Love Cobain’s side of the story.  Like Britney and the imposed conservatorship no prior notice was given to Courtney Love as Wyle took action to remove her daughter from her life.  http://www.spinner.com/2009/12/22/courtney-love-planned-christmas-for-daughter-before-custody-hear/
