Britney Spears’ Former Manager Appeals Restraining Order

Britney SpearsBritney Spears‘ former manager, Sam Lutfi, has filed an appeal after being ordered to stay away from the singer for three years.

Lutfi’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, argues that he was only responding to the singer’s “cries for help” to buck her father’s legal control. “Sam’s only crime was trying to help out a friend,” says Freedman, who has argued there is no evidence that the Toxic hitmaker suffered substantial emotional abuse.

The restraining order was requested by Jamie Spears, who has indefinite legal control over his daughter after her two forced hospitalization in early 2008.

Blind Items!

Blind Items1) “Which starlet’s constant state of inebriation is causing problems in her marriage? Her hubby hates having to physically remove her from nightclubs.”  [NYDN]

2) “This former A list always movie actress still considers herself A list even though in reality she is about D. She does have A list name recognition and was the star of one of the most famous movies of all time. Not highest grossing, just one of the most famous. Anyway, she is not known for her quiet demeanor and when she has a drink or seven can get rather nasty. Recently she got into a fight with her current boy toy and during the argument threw a glass or two or three at her toy. Well, on one of her throws she missed and hit an original Picasso she has hanging on her wall. The painting was shredded by the glass as it shattered as well as the beverage she had inside. Of course she told her insurance company it fell during a mild earthquake and landed on a glass table beneath the painting, shattering the table and damaging the painting.” [CDAN]

3) “We don’t know the exact reason this star is so skinny now, but we do know how she stayed thin as a teenager. She was on a hit television show and had lots of kissing scenes with her on-screen boyfriend. When she would engage in those scenes without first brushing her teeth after one of her regular bouts of bulimia, her costar would make his disgust known to all within earshot. So now our girl is all grown up, but she is once again disturbingly thin. While it’s more difficult for her parents to intervene in their daughter’s life at this stage, a recent death has brought them all a little closer and given them access to their daughter’s emotional side – much to the chagrin of her controlling mate.” [Blind Gossip]

The married mother — who starred alongside Tom Cruise in the smash hit eighties’ movie — made her confession after fighting rumors about her sexuality for years.

“I’m done with the man thing,” said the 51-year-old. “I did that, I need to move on in life. That’s another part of being true to yourself…that’s been a challenge for me personally.”

McGillis said she has battled with her feelings since her teenage years.

Sarah Jessica ParkerSarah Jessica is worried her husband and son don’t see enough of her.

The Sex and The City star — who is expecting twins via a surrogate mom — admits she feels guilty about working so much.

“It’s been a complicated past few weeks,” Parker told the New York Daily News. “My main concern is that my husband [Matthew Broderick] and son [James Wilkie, now 6 years old] have enough time. I’ve felt very conflicted over the last few weeks.

“Hopefully, our son is feeling loved and taken care of. I can’t really complain because it’s my choice to work, but that doesn’t mean I don’t spend a better part of the day worrying about whether my family is getting enough [time] from me.

“Any complications or any anxiety I feel is normal,” Parker added. “Any mother who wants to continue to work and have a career outside the home goes through this, so I feel very much a part of the sisterhood.”

Guy, added the source, will “make it a summer they won’t forget.”

“They’ve scrapped all her commitments in August to give her time to get her head straight.”
