Alleged film producer Sam Lutfi has attached himself to Britney Spears like a barnacle to the hull of a leaky ship, even showing up at the pop-wreck's birthday party the other night at Scandanavian Style Mansion. Obviously, Britney isn't very careful about who she hangs around with, cause this Lutfi fellow - he's shadier than Michael Lohan times ten. A new US Weekly story profiles Mr. Lutfi, revealing certain disturbing details about his past, including his history of verbal and physical abuse against folks who get on his bad side.
US says Lutfi, who sometimes goes by the name Osama N. Lutti, has had two restraining orders filed against him by people he allegedly attacked. One, a professional acquaintance named Jumana Issa, said Lutfi harassed her with obscene e-mails, faxes and voice mails, and for a stretch of time would call her number and hang up as many as 30 times a day. A second person, Lutfi's former neighbor Douglas Snoland, claimed Lutfi kicked his door down after a dispute over a towed car, then threatened to kill his 73-year-old disabled mother. Lutfi at one point allegedly said to Snoland:
I will beat your ass ... Your mother is a fucking old hag. You are a faggot. You will regret the day you ever met me.
I'm sure Lutfi was not wrong in that last prediction.
As to Lutfi's supposed career as a film producer...his one credit came for a movie named Bug Buster, but according to that movie's actual producer, Lutfi was only a paid assistant. Said the producer of Lutfi:
He was a hustler type, a fast-talking kid.
And he's apparently fast-talked his way right into Britney's inner-circle, raising alarm bells among those in Britney's life who are still able to think clearly. A source said Britney's parents are frightened by Lutfi, and know he is only trying to take advantage of their little angel. Presumably, their attempts at talking sense to Britney about this obvious con-artist have fallen on willfully deaf ears.
What I want to know is, where's Cousin Alli in all this? She has to be upset about Lutfi muscling in on her action, right? Better Britney get her blood sucked by someone like Alli than this Lutfi bastard, who sounds like he'd beat the hell out of her if given half a reason. But who knows - maybe Lutfi and Sims are in cahoots. Wouldn't shock me to find out they were shacked up together. I wouldn't trust either one of them farther than I could throw them.
