Celebrity Justice
Brit Shops for Car During Intervention

There is a lot of behind-the-scenes anger surrounding the Britney Spears' intervention, and the anger is directed at one Sam Lutfi, pictured here with Brit and mama Lynne today at Beverly Hills Mercedes.

As TMZ first reported, the family is staging an intervention so Britney can get help for her bipolar disorder. Family sources say they are furious at Lutfi, claiming he pushed Brit into going to B.H. Mercedes today to buy a new car -- in the middle of the effort to save her.

One source says the family believes Lutfi has been a "counterproductive, disquieting force" who has done nothing but harm.

91. 75. Wow - she can be angry at me too then. According to page six Brit took Sam and Mama to breakfast this morning at the Beverly Hills Hotel and they did some make up shopping before heading off to the dealership. The answer to the pressing question is simple: Brit forgot she was angry at Sam because she was british last night. Remember, she conveniently forgets everything she says and does when she is british. Phew, mystery solved and no need to call Matlock or Angela Lansbury. I feel better now. How bout you Brit?

95. I dont think Britney has lost her mind at all. I think that Kevin federline wants her children so he can have a constant money flow via child support from Britney. I think she made a mistake by having children, and I think she knows it. I believe she acts out so the media is always focusing on her due to a fear of loss of interest maybe... and all of this is simply a show so people "stay tuned". Shes not crazy at all.. quite the opposite. This is all fake in my opinion.
If you notice.. she put on the thick Brittish accent when it was time for court, probably so they took it easy on her, blaming it on mental illness for not wanting to deal with losing her children.. and thus not showing up for court. This is ALL for the attention and money. I dont know what to think of sam. Or her mother. I know I think her mother is shady.

96. How much do you photogs get paid to sit and wait for Britt? I hope its a lot it seems like its a boring job. Britt do me a huge favor take your country azz back home were it all started I know there won't be anyone chasing you but hey u need to get your kids back. Your far from crazy...I know what your problem is ...you have a bad case of "knnoonehastheballstotellmeno" hence your semi comeback single "Gimme More" I think the remix should be titled "U had enough". Its sad TMZ cares more about you then you or ur family cares about U. Fame is like heroin and ur need rehab.

97. Who the heck is Sam Lutfi and why didn't the reporter explain who he was? Most competent reporters would always write a story answering the who, what, where, when, why and how.. Hell I learned that in 4th grade!

100. To say on behalf of the entire spears family "lufti i think maybe you should leave britney alone and lay low for a while.

103. People don't know what goes on between Britney & her mother so I don't understand why someone on this blog would call Lynn "disgusting". A mother can only do so much when it comes to her adult children. I think Lynn & Britney love each other very much but the family just have problems now. What family has never had problems? I don't know of any & they should be given privacy to work out their issues instead of being hounded round the clock with cameras.

Britney started working when she was only a child & had two babies very close together plus a divorce. That is extremely hard on anyone, not counting the fact that the media has followed her every move waiting for her to make the next mistake with her children. I hope she can get well soon & get her children back because I'm sure they miss their mother & she misses them very much.

104. This is supposedly an intervention (questionable)............Yeah, like those around her right now are going to accompany her to purchase a car, when they supposedly know (and see) that she is not all there......now THAT, is what I call family! (tee hee!)

THE SPEARS FAMILY:

AMERICAN ENTERTAINMENT AT IT'S BEST!!
(hell, I don't even go to the movies anymore....I just pop some "potcorn", turn my puter and speakerzzzz on, get a warm "blankie"...and I'm set for the day (or night)!!!
GIMME MORE!!

105. That is a lie! Sam has not been "counterproductive." Sam is the force that made this intervention attempt possible.

What set the night of pandemonium in motion was Britney and Sam arguing about Adnan Ghalib's attempts to contact Britney and Sam's running interference trying to keep them apart. That is what the shouting between Sam and Britney was about when Britney threw a tantrum and got out at the The Summit entrance. But the arguing between Sam and Britney built up to that because Britney was upset that Sam has been trying to assist Britney's mom in getting Britney to agree to clinical treatment.

The events last night went something like this:

Sam and Britney argue and it escalates into a screaming match when Britney calls Adnan.

Britnay gets out of Sam's SUV at the entrance to The Summit.

The guard at The Summit entrance calls police because of the pandemonium and onslaught of paparazzi blocking the entrance.

Felipe (the X17 photog) drives Britney to her house and then returns to The Summit entrance.

Sam calls Britney's mom and then calls Alli Sims and Chad Hardcastle, Britney's new pal and most recent entourage member.

Adnan arrives at The Summit entrance but then leaves when he is denied access by the guard.

Britney's dad and mom arrive at The Summit but was delayed at the entrance for about 20 minutes before the guard finally allowed them to enter.

Britney leaves home in her Benz and drives to Ralph's grocery store, two cops and a caravan of paparazzi in tow (including the X17 photog Felipe).

Britney leaves Ralph's grocery store with Felipe in his SUV.

Felipe and Britney return to Ralph's and Britney drives away alone in her Benz.

Britney and Adnan meet and she takes off with him in his new Benz.

The paparazzi chase Adnan and Britney at speeds up to 100mph.

Adnan gets a flat tire.

Sam and Chad pick Britney up and take her home.

There is an intervention at Britney's house with Britney's mom, her dad, Alli Sims, Chad Hardcastle and Sam present. Contrary to what TMZ reported, Adnan Ghalib was not at the intervention at Britney's house. Uninvited, Adnan stayed roadside with his flat tire.

Britney reconciles with her mom and the two of them, accompanied by Sam and Chad, make a late night trip to Long's Drugstore and then return to Britney's house on Summit Circle.

* Also, it is not known if Britney is buying a new vehicle. X17 is reporting that Britney is getting rid of her CLK, her banged up pumpkinmobile. That might be all she is doing. But she might also be shopping for a 6-seat vehicle. If by chance Britney gets visitation again, she will need a vehicle with a minimum of 5 seats, 1 for the driver, 1 for the court appointed monitor, 1 for Britney, and 2 for the kids.
