Although Britney Spears is still recovering from her traumatic meltdown, she’d probably like nothing more than a visit from her old pal Sam Lutfi.
It’s not going to happen any time soon, though, because the restraining order that Britney Spears’ family took out against Sam Lutfi has been extended yet again – he’s not allowed within 250 yards of Britney Spears until at least August.
Obviously the courts have decided that the restraining order extension is in the best interests of Britney Spears’ well-being, but it sure is a kick in teeth for those of us who wanted to see Britney Spears and Sam Lutfi star in a hilarious Odd Couple-style television sitcom any time soon. Curses.
We’re not sure if anyone is selling tickets for it, but we’d love to be there when Britney Spears finally gets to meet her former manager Sam Lutfi again.
Sure, the conversation might be a little stilted at first – “So, what have you been up to?” “Oh, you know, crashed my car, got locked up in a mental hospital, the usual” – but it wouldn’t be long before they were sharing raucous anecdotes about the good old days, like when Sam Lutfi mashed drugs into Britney’s food and then phoned up Barbara Walters to tell her that Britney was a psycho.
Oh, those were the days alright, but don’t think that they’ll happen again any time soon. Britney Spears’ family has decided to once again extend the restraining order against Sam Lutfi. And, as Reuters reports, it means that Britney Spears won’t be able to the experience of delicious anti-psychotic drugs smooshed into her Cheetos until the height of summer at the very earliest:
A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday extended a restraining order against Britney Spears’ former self-styled manager until July 31, under an agreement between attorneys for both sides. “We believe this is in the best interests of Miss Spears,” her attorney, Vivian Thoreen, told Superior Court Judge Aviva K. Bobb in asking for the order. Lutfi was not in court but his spokesman, Michael Sands, said he had agreed to extend the restraining order. “Sam and the family are cooperating and trying to do what’s best for Britney,” Sands said in a statement.
Not that Sam Lutfi will have to adjust too much to the restraining order – it’s been in place since February and has already been extended once before – so all it means is that Sam Lutfi just has to remain at least 250 yards away from Britney Spears all the time some more.
That’s actually harder than it sounds. 250 yards is quite the radius, and it wouldn’t be difficult to inadvertently stray within that zone. That’s why we suggest that Sam Lutfi learns exactly where Britney Spears is at all times and stays precisely 251 yards away from her, even it means sleeping in his car to do so.
Obviously to make sure that he’s always exactly 251 yards away from Britney Spears, Sam Lutfi would need a high-powered pair of binoculars, and probably some form of projectile weaponry to stop others from moving him along. But we’ve looked at the situation from every angle, and this really does seem to be the only way.
