Pap Agency Owner: Sam Lutfi Never Took Money
THE MOST WANTED MAN IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY
ISN'T ON THE FBI'S TOP 10 LIST: IT'S SAM LUTFI, Brit's favorite In-N-Out bag boy. Gossips,
newshounds and court officials are looking for Brit's confidante so they can: 1) Get his
comments on the legal imbroglio
that continued in LA yesterday over control of Britney's estate. And 2) Trying to serve Lutfi with
court documents prohibiting him from phoning, chatting, IMing, visiting or writing Britney,
essentially cutting her off from one of her closest allies.
Francois Navarre, owner of the X17 Inc. photo agency,
says Sam has cut his phone lines and is laying low following his brouhaha with Brit's folks over
her medical care and estate. But while others are having a field day throwing mud
at Lutfi, Navarre spoke in defense of Brit's would-be manager whom he says is a Brit
loyalist but also not qualified to handle her affairs alone. "She needs a staff, and not just one
person,'' Navarre said. The photo agency owner summed up Lutfi's intentions in this way: "He has
something in his head, and what he has is [the idea] to stay as long as possible with
Britney."
Despite what tongues wag, Navarre says that while Lutfi has tipped off the photo agency
before about Britney's whereabouts in the past, he's never done it with his palm out. "What I
like about Sam is that he has never, ever asked for money, unlike Adnan" Ghalib, Brit's most
recent boy-toy-pap, Navarre said.
The X17 owner expressed anguish at Brit's current mental state, blaming it on "the fact that they took
the kids away from her, that's made her crazy. Everything started with that.'' He also had unkind words for Lynn and Jamie Spears: "They try to get as much money from her as possible. Now they have Jamie Lynn pregnant. They're cashing in on that already."
Crabby concurs with a tsk, tsk.
