Britney Spears, exploitable commodity
p2pnet news | Celebrities:- “You’d better learn that I control everything. I control Howard Grossman, Britney’s business manager. I control her attorneys and the security guards at the gate. They don’t listen to Britney, they listen to me.”
The declaration is attributed to “very good [Britney] friend” Sam Lutfi, recently barred from going anywhere near her.
It was made by Spears’ mother, Lynn, in a court document. Because it’s a long time since Britney Spears has been a person.
Instead, she’s become a thing, a commodity to be exploited by any one clever enough to get close to her —- record labels, paparazzi, lawyers, PR agents, managers, hair-dressers, clothing designers, retailers of all ilks and persuasions. You name it.
She’s an industry all by herself with thousands of people depending on her for their incomes.
Now, “A Superior Court commissioner gave Britney Spears’ father the power to fire the singer’s business manager, according to documents released Friday,” says Associated Press.
“Commissioner Reva Goetz also ordered Howard Grossman to turn over “all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears” to James Spears, who is the court-appointed conservator of his daughter and her estate.
“Goetz issued her decision after an emergency closed-door hearing requested Thursday by James Spears. Grossman showed up at the hearing, but he and others were ordered to leave the courtroom.”
Meanwhile, “Holed up in her house with her parents yesterday, Britney decided she needed some longer, sexier hair,” says E! Online.
So, “she did what any stir-crazy celeb would do”. She and called up a “hairstylist to the stars ” who according to the story overheard her saying on the phone, “I want to start focusing again; I want to figure out the system.”
Paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, her erstwhile principal public escort, seems to have vanished into the undergrowth.
Expect soon to read/hear “exclusives” about his time with Spears.

I never like Britney’s looks or “music.” However, with that said, I feel sorry for the poor woman. What has been done to her by all of these vultures is shameful. Look at what is happening to her and tell me that the record companies have the artist’s best interests at heart. I wish they would leave her alone so that she can get well. Cockroaches!!!

Britney seems to have a lot of drug fueled mental problems.

The testimony from her mother on the smoking gun made it look like she was the victim of a fairly intentional and careful brainwashing campaign, and that she probably only needs to get off the uppers, get some sleep, and get some serious emotional downtime with people that love her.

She needs to spend more time with folks who genuinely care for her. The uppers and the mental stuff is probably a symptom of industry related pressure. She has my empathy.
