Britney Spears, restraining orders, and crazy ex-managers

For Pete’s sake, I stop paying attention to Britney Spears for five seconds and this is what happens? Oy vey. Okay, so here’s the scoop. Yesterday, Britney’s dad testified that Sam Lufti, Brit’s former manager, ground medication into his daughter’s food and stated that he basically was a big poo poo head and a danger to the family in general. Adnan Ghalib, a former boyfriend, also is named in the restraining order, along with a attorney:
Jamie Spears and various attorneys are seeking a lengthy restraining order against Lutfi, Ghalib and attorney Jon Eardley . They claim the trio has tried to sabotage a court-ordered conservatorship that granted Jamie’s control over his 27-year-old daughter’s personal and financial affairs, which began a year ago.

Ay yi yi. Hit me baby one more time because you DRIVE ME CRAZY. Well, it sounds like she’s targeting the right people to keep away from her, you know what I mean? Speaking of teh crazy, Mel Gibson explained finally this week why he decided to reach out to Britney when she was having one of her multiple nervous breakdowns. Here’s what he had to say (don’t mind the old-timey whiskers, folks – I promise he’s not going to sell you some liniment or some folk remedy):

“Well, she’s a nice kid… She was just going through a rough patch, so I figured… you look around and you see kids that, you know, in the industry and poor Heath,” Gibson said. “I just felt like this poor kid, she’s lining up to be stoned. The press was going at her and everything. I just thought, ‘I wonder if anyone is actually reaching out to her,’ so I just called her and she’s doing great now.” I wonder how that phone call went, don’t you? Lots of giggling, I’m sure. Maybe some discussion of where they’re going on vacation. And then you just KNOW they started singing all the songs from “high School Musical” together. We’re all in this together!
