Britney Spears wants her former manager Sam Lutfi and her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib to cover all the legal costs incurred in her bid to win restraining orders against them.
The singer won a court order last month banning Lutfi and his attorney Jon Eardley from going within 100 yards of the singer or her family members for the next three years. A similar order was issued against paparazzo Ghalib in March.
And Spears is attempting to get her former associates to pay her lawyers' bill.
The singer's legal team filed the motion in a Los Angeles court last Friday, requesting a judge order Lutfi to pay $123,142, Ghalib $72,292 and Eardley $129,922.
A ruling has yet to be made on the request, reports People.com.
Lutfi filed an appeal against the restraining order earlier this month.
Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend is facing deportation.
Adnan Ghalib - who dated the Toxic singer throughout 2008 - could be forced to return to Afghanistan if he is found guilty of allegations he tried to run over a court official as he tried to hand him a restraining order.
Ghalib, 36, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run for allegedly using his car to mow down a man attempting to serve him with legal papers detailing a restraining order filed against him by Britney's father Jamie.
An LA police source says, "The country of citizenship listed on the legal files is where someone convicted of a serious crime will be deported to whether they hold a Green Card or not."
The paparazzo initially moved to Birmingham, in the UK, before later relocating to the US to work
The source added, "There is some confusion on his court documents over where he comes from. Some list the country as Afghanistan. But another states his nationality as British.
"There is no doubt over his place of birth though, that is Afghanistan.
"If found guilty he will be jailed for a number of years. These are some of the most serious crimes possible in the United States bar murder. The American justice system comes down heavily on people convicted of such felonies."
Britney Spears' father has branded her ex-manager a "dangerous predator".
Jamie Spears made the comments while giving his testimony at a Los Angeles court on Monday (23.02.09), where he was attempting to maintain a restraining order which keeps Sam Lutfi away from Britney.
Jamie - who is co-conservator of Britney's personal and professional affairs - said: "When Lutfi was in so-called control, she'd lost everything - her kids and career. I believe he's a predator, I believe he's very dangerous to her and causes her a lot of anguish and disbelief. We've asked him to go away before, and now he's coming back. We just want the man to go away. Just leave us alone."
Jamie also insists he will do everything in his power to keep Britney's ex-boyfriend paparazzo Adnan Ghalib away from the 27-year-old singer.
The concerned parent - who now runs every aspect of Britney's life, including monitoring her phone calls - also claims the pop star's security team recently confiscated a pre-paid phone which was given to her by Sam and Adnan.
Maybe someone should tell Adnan Ghalib that he’s no longer dating Britney Spears. The shady paparazzo believes that he is still in a relationship with the pop star.
The British-Afghan met the singer in December 2007 and the two dated until the singer’s emotional breakdown last Spring.
According to Heat Magazine, the photog was recently overheard telling friends that he is Britney’s boyfriend, despite the fact that the singer obtained a restraining order against him just two weeks ago.
“I still love Britney. I’m her boyfriend,” Adnan told a pal. “Britney has a beautiful soul. We share something really special. The truth about us will come out eventually, but it’s not for me to talk about. I love her.”
Britney Spears' ex-lover has received death threats over his alleged plans to sell a sex tape of her.
Photographer Adnan Ghalib - who dated the 'Toxic' singer earlier this year - claims he has been the target of Britney's angry fans after it was revealed a video of the star performing a private striptease for him wearing just a pink wig was to be leaked on the internet.
Adnan said: "I have had many calls about it from all over the world. In light of the constant calls about the sex tape and threats, I'm taking a break from the industry and keeping a low profile."
Adnan - who once claimed Britney was pregnant with his baby - says he was stabbed in the arm in April after furious fans confronted him over their fears he was leading her astray.
Speaking about the incident, he added to Heat magazine: "Yes I was injured. This is still being investigated.
"I can't say much about the cowardly attack other than, a) you better come a lot stronger than that if you want to make a point and b) most will be surprised by those behind it."
Adnan had a three-month relationship with the mother-of-two at the height of her alleged nervous breakdown earlier this year.
A new Britney Spears sex tape is set to be released.
The footage allegedly features Britney, 26, stripping off naked apart from a pink wig, and romping with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.
The paparazzi photographer is reportedly trying to sell the full two-hour version, which is said to contain twenty minutes of full sex after a long session of foreplay, to the highest bidder.
A source said: "The video starts with Britney undressing. She was wearing some cheap clothes. The sex wasn't particularly kinky but Britney wears a pink wig throughout.
The video starts with Britney undressing. She was wearing some cheap clothes. The sex wasn't particularly kinky but Britney wears a pink wig throughout.
"At one point in the tape Adnan asks Britney to remove the pink wig but she refuses, saying 'Take what off? There's nothing left to take off.' "
Adnan had a three-month relationship with the mother-of-two at the height of her alleged nervous breakdown earlier this year.
The sex tape was supposedly shot while the couple holidayed in Mexico in January.
Adnan was attacked and stabbed last night but he is doing OK after receiving medical attention for his wounds. He received a stab wound to his arm, facial lacerations as well as a nice shiner. I’m not sure what to make of this considering that he’s received more and more death threats in recent weeks. Is it coincidence? I don’t know. But in the ever growing Adnan hating world that some blogs live in, the repeated venom spewed at him could have finally boiled over to the real world. We all know there are some crazies out there, I mean, I screen out at least a dozen death threats on our comments every week. Yes we’re tight with Adnan and all but still, this attack pushed this situation into a whole ‘nother level that I’m having trouble accepting. Hopefully the attackers will be found and brought to justice. And by the way, we’re all thankful that Britney wasn’t hurt in her fender bender earlier in the evening.
Is funnywoman Kathy Griffin giving retired paparazzo Adnan Ghalib another 15 minutes of fame?
The odd couple took to the streets this afternoon, parading down Robertson Blvd., shopping for underwear, chatting on their cell phones, eating lunch and holding hands. They appeared to be the perfect Hollywood couple out for a date, but the camera crew and boom operator revealed that this was a staged outing.
Kathy has struggled to remain in the spotlight over the years and now it seems she is trying to help Adnan regain the fame he enjoyed when he was dating Britney Spears. The two even had a business lunch with what appeared to be industry executives. Producers? Agents?
Will the two climb back up the ladder of Hollywood notoriety or forever be destined to stand in the shadows of true talent?
Britney Spears has again ignited pregnancy rumours after she was spotted leaving a medical centre with her father Jamie in LA yesterday.
The troubled star has sported a rounded stomach in recent times, and her latest outing has only served to further fuel whispers.
Her medical visit comes a week after Birmingham-raised photographer Adnan Ghalib reportedly bragged to friends that Britney has "a baby Brummie in her tummy".
News of Ghalib's apparent bragging was first reported in Us Weekly, and another U.S. publication, Life & Style, has also speculated the star is with child.
But the paparazzo's relationship with Britney appears to already be in tatters after he was reportedly seen getting cosy with LA waitress Amanda Pagel this week.
Britney, who has only just regained visitation rights to her children Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 17 months, was spotted holding a pregnancy test in a chemist's shop in January.
If the rumours prove true, it will no doubt be a huge blow for Britney's parents who are desperate for their daughter to pull her life together.
While the former pop princess has been offered support by a list of stars, most recently Heidi Klum, she is not getting any sympathy from Mr Nasty Simon Cowell.
The American Idol judge said in a recent interview that Britney has only herself to blame for her troubles.
Cowell said: "I think she's manipulated the whole thing, like waving a pregnancy test at the cameras."
"I've heard she won't leave the house until there are enough photographers there."
The Sun is reporting that Brit Brit and Adnan are over after she found texts from another woman in his iPhone.
A source said, “There were about a dozen from one girl, all sent on one day. They were pretty saucy stuff with sexual references — certainly not the sort you’d send to just a friend. Britney lost it and started yelling. She was demanding to know who sent the texts and shouting, ‘What’s this about? You’re cheating on me’. Adnan said the girl was just a friend, but Britney got more and more angry. Then she told him, ‘That’s it. It’s over’. Just before she told Adnan to go, she took the phone and threw it in the pool right in front of him. He didn’t even bother trying to get it out of the water.”
Both Britney Spears‘ unofficial manager and paparazzo lover are shopping proposals for a pair of tell-all books about the pop star’s psychotic breakdown to American publishers.
”That should tell you something about their true devotion to Britney and her interests,” a Spears insider says of Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib.
”These guys better get those books out real fast,” says a former member of Britney’s legal team. ”This story is changing daily. Unless those books include information the public already doesn’t know, those ‘tell-alls’ won’t mean much, given what may happen to Britney in the days and weeks to come.”
Britney Spears is furious with her family for trying to make her seek psychiatric help.
The 'Gimme More' singer's parents Jamie and Lynne - who believe their daughter's erratic behaviour is down to bipolar disorder - are not welcome in her life, says the singer's manager Sam Lutfi.
Lutfi said in a telephone conversation, with Britney at his side: "They just barged in. They have an agenda. Their agenda is jealousy because they don't fit in. I do. They see her three times a year."
Britney's manager was responding to reports that her family is staging a secret intervention this week, behind his back, in an attempt to save Britney from his influence.
A family source said: "They see him as a counterproductive, disquieting force in her life. Lynne and Jamie are on the same page. They think he is an evil megalomaniac."
Britney's parents arrived at her Beverly Hills home on Monday night (28.01.08) as she sat sobbing on the pavement outside her front gate, following an argument with Lutfi.
Jamie and Lynne spent yesterday morning (29.01.08) with Britney in Los Angeles while she shopped for a car.
In case you just logged on, Britney Spears is having another breakdown tonight.
-Brit and her manager Sam had a huge fight in a car outside her gated community. -Brit got out the car, crying, and pleads with the photogs to leave her along. Video can be found on TMZ and x17's websites. It's very upsetting footage. -Flipie, the photog, picks up Brit and drives her to her home, then leaves. Brit calls Adnan saying "Baby, can you come get me?" -Police show up after photogs try to enter the gated community, and leave a short time later. -Most surprising news, BRITNEY'S PARENTS SHOW UP. "The scene inside Britney's home right now is not pretty. Apparently Britney is very emotional and cannot stop crying. Both of her parents -- mom Lynne and father Jamie -- are with her now." It was reported earlier today that she had begun communicating with them a little bit. -Adnan shows up, but gets denied access to her gated community. -Brit heads off towards Beverly Hills with photog Filipe, goes to Ralph's grocery store, then meets up with Adnan, and speeds down the freeway.
More updates coming tonight ...
UPDATE: Brit's back out and driving around. Her parents are still at her house. Britney was crying on the curb outside her house for 20 minutes before she left ...
UPDATE 2: She's met up with Adnan on the street, hopped out of the car she was in, and into his.
UPDATE 3: New details about what went down: Adnan did not try to break into Britney’s house.
Sam Lutfi, Britney's manager, started an argument with her and the two ended up in a screaming fight. Sam continued to verbally abuse Britney as she sat barefoot on the curb at her Summit home crying holding her dog London.
Britney called Adnan for help and he heard the distress in her voice and drove to the Summit immediately. While outside the gates he was denied access as Sam Lutfi had informed the guards that he was not allowed entry. When Adnan then tried to call Britney it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off.
UPDATE 4:
The paparazzi happened to "conveniently" capture Sam Lutfi sending these rather ominous text messages to Spears' on/off paparazzo buttboy, Adnan Ghalib. In no uncertain terms, Sam is telling Adnan that he is toxic to Spears and needs to leave her alone…or she may end up dead.
UPDATE 5: Adnan's speeding down the freeway at 100 mph -- He's putting Britney (and himself) in danger!
UPDATE 6: When Jamie Spears turned up, the guards would not let him in, as Sam Lutfi would not let anyone get near Britney's house. It was only after photographers standing outside explained the situation and who he was that Jamie was allowed access to The Summit home. He looked extremely distressed.
UPDATE 7:More details about what went down tonight: Sam screamed “Go fuck your Paparazzi boyfriend!” before speeding off. A teary eyed Spears sat on the curb holding her Yorkshire terrier ‘London’ and sporting what looked like a red mark on her face. Minutes after, Spears had driven down to her house, paparazzo boyfriend Adnan turned up at the gates of The Summit only to be denied access. The security at the Summit have been ordered by Sam not to let Ghalib in through the gates. Hoards of police arrived, and helicopters circled overhead.
UPDATE 8: Video of tonight's events:
Britney shopping at Ralph's grocery store after her breakdown.
Adnan getting denied entrance to Britney's gated community.
UPDATE 9: LAST UPDATE Finalpixx, Adnan's photog company, just posted "Britney is spending her evening in the company of her parents and Adnan." Slumber party, y/n?
This was fun, everyone! I think it's winding to a close, though. I'll update if anything happens, of course. Hope everyone had fun!
p.s. Tomorrow should be very interesting. Remember, her parents are staying overnight at her house!
And more drama: Blender magazine didn’t just stick to Britney Spears’ mess of a life but they also delved into her shady hanger-on/manager Sam Lufti. Not much is known about this mysterious Mr. Lufti except that he has several restraining orders against him, one of which came after telling a friend, when their relationship had soured, to “just kill himself.”
Former friend Danny Haines filed the restraining order and speaking with Blender magazine called Lufti “more jealous than a lover” who would refer to him as a “worthless motherf*cker” one minute and then say he “loved” him the next.
Haines eventually cut Lufti out his life, enraging Lufti who then e-mailed naked photos of Haines to his family, friends, and co-workers and threatened him repeatedly over the phone and through text messages, even going as far as saying he hoped his sister would be “raped to death.”
Haines says that in one e-mail to him, Lutfi wrote of Haines’ mother that he hoped “Satan devours her flesh and bones” and he looked forward to the day when he would “p*ss on her burial.”
Why wouldn’t Britney want this guy in her life? Everyone needs a right-hand man to wish death by rape and rapture on their enemies. In this modern era a simple “go away” or “I’ll fix you” won’t cut it. If you want them to know you mean business you have to go big and wish a painful or embarrassing death on someone’s mom.
Seriously try it. Next time a cyclist dressed like Lance Armstrong blows a stop sign and gives you the finger, roll down your window and tell him you hope he dies of cancer and watch him crash into a parked car.
It is scary when they zoom out and you see how many paparazzi are there and how they swarm her. Seems I am not the only one because according to ETonline several of them were handcuffed when a night of photographing her got out of hand.
UPDATE: After the paparazzi were arrested Britney called Sam Lufti and went shopping at 1a at Kitson. She actually made they come back in for in the middle of the night.
BUT the better news is that they are reporting CelebTV is reporting that Britney and Adnan are over after the two got in a major fight!!! As you can see in the clip they ask her where he is and she says you tell me.
And yes she gives us another blatant upskirt and we wonder why they follow her like crazy!
Paparazzo “it” boy Adnan Ghalib has been exposed as a “gold-digger who ruthlessly snared Britney Spears with an 18-month charm offensive.”
News of the World reports that two-years-ago the Finalpixx photographer bragged to friends that he planned to bed a Hollywood star - namely Miss Spears herself — so that he could secure an exclusive story that would net him a fortune.
What’s more? The publication claims Adnan has been boasting in great detail of Britney’s love for drug-fueled sex and dirty talk in a British accent.
Sadly, Brit-Brit is seemingly unaware — she has been telling pals how much she loves him and that she’s intent on marrying him and converting to his faith, Islam.
Wait it gets better — Britney has also been threatening to fake her own death to start a new life with him in Pakistan!!!!!
Oh, and her nickname for Mr. Ghalib? “Addy the Daddy.”
You can’t make sh*t like this up!!!
Damn.... don't you just love News of the World???? They sure have great imagination.... I so totally don't believe this shit.
Britney Spears fled the U.S for a seven-hour hotel love-in with her Brummie photographer boyfriend, after fearing her family were about to take drastic action to force her into emergency psychiatric care.
The troubled singer was desperate to leave Los Angeles after she was carted off to hospital tied to a stretcher last week, following a four-hour siege when she refused to hand over her two young sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
And it's believed she is trying to escape her parents' attempts to force her into rehab.
Spears and Ghalib, a photographer from Birmingham, arrived at the Rosarito Beach Hotel in Baja California at about 3pm US time on Wednesday.
The singer - wearing a pink wig - checked into a junior suite costing £110 a night.
But just before 10pm, she and Adnan, 35, checked out and headed back to her Beverly Hills home.
Spears, 26, went to extreme measures to make sure nobody knew where they were while in Mexico.
She leaked word that she was flying to New York, Hawaii, Las Vegas and Barbados and hired at least two private jets, teams of security and numerous limos to create the elaborate diversion.
Once in Mexico, she stocked up on fake designer gear, buying two fake Gucci handbags, while Ghalib bought religious memorabilia.
Back in LA they stopped off at Spears' house before heading to Starbucks in Encino. Last night they were spotted dining at Taverna Tony in Malibu.
The singer had hit the road with her Brummie photographer boyfriend and surfaced in Mexico.
Check out the latest pic of Brit Brit, she actually looks got in the pic.... how did she do it? Having tons of sex with Adnan perhaps?
Anyways, looks like Brit Brit and Adnan are back from their Mexico getaway. They were spotted in Encino yesterday afternoon before they headed to Taverna Tony's in Malibu.
And, Finalpixx would also like to correct a series of incorrect stories that have been miss-reported in the media over the past two weeks. Britney and Adnan did not vanish this past weekend, they simply chose to spend some much-needed quality time away from the constant pressure of being hounded by the media.
During her brief stay in Cedars Sinai medical center last week, Britney's father Jamie Spears and Adnan were the only two people that the singer requested visit her.
After being released from the hospital Britney and Adnan spent the night and the following days together resting, eating, sleeping, shopping and talking about life and the love they have for their families.
Although many people who are close to Britney have spoken out about her at this difficult time, Adnan has not spoken to any media outlet and feels that it would not be of benefit to her for him to do so at this time. And, should he choose to speak about Britney, he only has positive things to say about her and the time that they have spent together. Teams of reporters and television news crews and a huge pack of paparazzi have been on Britney's doorstep around the clock for the past week. Despite such heavy scrutiny, the pair are enjoying a healthy, normal relationship and contrary to reports Adnan is absolutely NOT shopping his story via Finalpixx for $5 million US dollars.
And, we can confirm that Adnan is married but has been separated from his wife for over a year.
Finalpixx is a picture agency providing content to media outlets on a global scale. Finalpixx has never tried to negotiate a $5 million dollar deal involving Adnan and Britney.
The ABC 20/20 interview that Adnan participated in free of charge was filmed before anything had happened between Britney and Adnan and the airing of the interview was just coincidental.
Finalpixx would like to thank ABCs 20/20 and Popjustice.co.uk.

Britney Spears wants her former manager Sam Lutfi and her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib to cover all the legal costs incurred in her bid to win restraining orders against them.
