Sam's Spokesman: "Kevin Needs To Step Up!"

britkevsands.jpg Mere days after he left his job with Kevin Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan and took a new job with Britney Spears' controversial friend Sam Lutfi, infamous image consultant Michael Sands has gone on the attack!

X17 just spoke with Sands, and he had some harsh words for Federline, saying that the aspiring rapper "needs to step up!"

Sands concedes a few points to Federline, calling Kevin "the better parent" outright.

However, Sands was quick to allege K-Fed of failing to be there for Britney when it counted, saying that Federline "needs to grant Britney visitation and stop hiding under the table - [he] really needs to do what's in the best interest of his kids"!

Sands also took his former employer to task for similar reasons, bluntly declaring that "needs to step up to the plate and lay off Britney Spears."

"He's gotta let up on someone who's sick," Sands told X17. "You wanna keep beating [a sick person] up? Don't live in the problem - live in the solution!"

Overall, Sands painted a picture of Britney as a victim of illness, calling her "the Frances Farmer of the 21st century".

"She's not some Frankenstein - she has an illness," he told X17. "Britney does need to be monitored...The disorder is ruining her. It's a neurological problem."

But Britney's children, Sands opined, may be the key to her recovery.

"Britney should be allowed visitation under the supervision of a psychiatric nurse and security," he said. "She's not a bad mother - it's the disease."



We can't wait to hear Mark's response to this - even he can't possibly let this one go quietly!

no, he didn't say this to X-17 - it's the same interview Perez posted earlier. X-17 sucks

If she would have done what the Courts asked her to do in the first place, she might have had visitation with her kids before now but she chose not to so now she is paying the consequences. She needs to get back on track first, the kids don't need to see her the way she is now especially when she is talking in that stupid british accent! She will scare the poor kids.

I do agree that visitation should be established. Obviously she shouldn't have the children without supervision... but she should be allowed to see her babies. She is sick, and her kids are too young to know better, to them... they haven't seen mommy in a long time. I think it would totally help her out to see the babies.

Sands is an illiterate idiot! He was fired by Kaplan!! Kevin does NOT need to "step up" and help Brit....SHE divorced him. All he needs to do is look after those kids. Sands is representing an immoral ass, who would be better off leaving Brit the hell alone!!!!!!!!!!!

And his qualifications are what? I sure hope there are some criminal charges coming down the pike for all those that took advantage of her while she was decompensating, its a damn shame.

Kevin doesn't NEED to do anything except continue to protect his children. Sands is an attention seeking idiot - if he can be a publicist then I guess my dog has a shot at it too! What a moron. Kevin has stepped up to the plate by keeping his kids safe until their mom gets help and gets well - which will never happen if Brit's parents let Sam back into her life (which is something Sands said in this interview and x17 conveniently left out.

What a dumbass. It's not Kevin's responsibility to take care of Unfitney. It's her job and no way in hell should she be able to see her kids till she speaks without an accent and is normal!

He is doing what's best for the kids by keeping them AWAY from that psycho!

Why should she see the kids now, anyway? Obviously she is still in la-la land, speaking in her British accent and pretending to be her own assistant.

k-fed is the worst thing that ever happened to Britney's life! Britney we love and you have trust that you will return properly! Get better! And please x17 get pictures of Britney's new hair!! I'm sure she looks fab!

Posted by: Anonymous


She left K-Fed and plus if she hadn't locked the kids up in the house when her visitation time was over, she would still be in the children's lives. She has been given chance, after chance, after chance, and yet she still acting like a lunatic. She needs to first get herself together before she can be a descent parent to those kids.

Wow, Brit has stayed in for the last 2 days.

Umm Breakingthehabit: Did you not read the article about how she acted yesterday in front of the hair stylist? She's still crazy and will scae and confuse those poor kids.
It's NOT only about Britney - what's best for the kids needs to be considered as well. Give her more time for the meds and treatment to stabilize and only then maybe consider some supervised visitation.

What the ... all this people and their grid did to this girl. I can't get over the beautiful sharp and strong girl turned into some .....I have no words. How can someone perform since 11 and forget how to do it at once. This people will pay the price - Britney Believe. Come good for Britney.

Posted by: Anonymous


Do any of you know what's involved in raising healthy well adjusted kids? It ain't easy. Kevin has already stepped up as far as I'm concerned. He's kept the kids seemingly normal and off the ragmag covers. He's also kept a low profile. And in the middle of all this tumoil. This asswipe (osama) needs to shut up and give back the money he's stolen from Britney.

Posted by: sandy


Now that Sam's PR agent has tried to deflect blame onto others...

...let's talk about Osama and his drug cocktails!!

Posted by: Osama Lutfi...Lufti...Lutfi...


I agree she should have exposure to her children. She is ill and needs encouragement to get well. She can afford all the costs surrounding having professionals around her in a supervised setting. Those kids are small and need to bond with their mother, not with a nanny. In their best interests, they should have supervised monitoring with their mom. This would be an excellent chance to give her parenting support as well. As for K-Fed...she is not his responsibility and I bet if there were not money involved he would not be fighting to keep those kids to himself.

OMG 4:55 (second one) YOU are exactly why Brit's so messed up.
1st - you blame Kevin for all of Brit's problems when she really needs to take responsibility or she'll never get better.
2nd- Beg this god forsaken site to "get a picture" when clearly what she needs is to be left alone a little while to focus on getting better. Maybe you want them to invade her privacy and snap her through the windows?
You suck.

What garbage.

This guy Michael Sands is slime.

Kevin Federline has been doing what is best for the kids, and hasn't taken any sideswipes at Britney at ALL.

The most he's said is he would like the kids to be back in her life again one day, and what else is there to say?

Posted by: Anonymous


Sands is an idiot with a total loser for a client. Kevin needs to step up? Excuse me? Britney is in no condition to see her kids - she needs extensive in-patient treatment. When she gets her act together she can see the boys. Not before.

Posted by: Anonymous


She is a bad mother--no horrible mother simply because she signed herself out AMA and won't seek treatment for her disease. Those innocent children do not deserve to suffer because of her foolish whims. She needs to take care of herself first and foremost before she is allowed to even see those kids from a distance--and if she refuses--tough shit! She is an adult,albeit one with a disease, but part of being an adult and parent is sacrifice for your children, and from her behavior as of late she has sacrificed nothing! Selfish Bitch.

sandy, kept the kids off the rag coves? lmao, have you been out of the country...? i think so! and he's low profile because nobody cares about him! they're only after Britney!! duh!

This idiot needs to shut his hole...Kevin is doing what he needs to do to protect his children! She needs to get better before any type of visitation is reinstated....

Sorry nana, you must have missed it but hey already tried supervised visits with professionals present. She locked herself and one of her children in the bathroom creating a major scene and probably scaring the little guy half to death.
She has been given chance after chance now it's time to withold any more chances until we have proof she is ready and able to respond appropriately.

Sands so shot himself in the foot and damaged his career with his association with Lutfi. Did he "tell you", x17, how he lost two major clients because of this asinine decision?

Posted by: Leandra


How do we know she's refusing treatment? She may have checked herself out a psych ward, but she has stayed in for 2 days now. I think that says something!

Sands and Osama are idiots. First of all Sands does not know Britney, he is not a doctor and he does not know diddly other than what Sam and the media tells him, so who the hell is he to have the solution to all this? It is so funny how slimy people get when it comes to feeding off Britneys problems. Osama is acting like a Pimp that lost his ho and wants her back! He needs to chill out and realize she is not his property to regain and he is nothing to her other than a f'd up part of her life that needs gone. If he really cared about her he would walk away and let the Spears family heal and do what is best for their child. He makes me ill.

Posted by: Osama is a tard


Who cares what this asshole says?

He's Sam Lutfi's "spokesperson"...SO WHAT?

Osama needs to get alife and mind his own business. What a pathetic coward and piece of shit. Hiding and spouting off through some paid mouthpiece. His opinion means SHIT. Sam Lutfi is "the problem," and far from "the solution."

Go to hell Lutfi, you psycho.

The last time Britney had supervised visitation with her kids, she locked herself and the baby in the bathroom for hours, refusing to return him to his father, and had a stand-off with the cops that resulted in her being carted off on a gurney, and cost the city thousands.

I think she needs to do just a BIT of adjusting herself before anyone lets her put the kids in this sort of horrendous situation again.

Posted by: Anonymous


I hardly think Mark Vincent Kaplan really cares what Michael Sands flaps his gums about now that he is no longer his spokesperson - This guy has zero credibility, the statements he makes are asinine - and as far as visitation goes, she was given chance after chance but continued to exhibit poor judgment even in the presence of a minder (remember going through the intersection with the woman covering her eyes) Kevin through his lawyer has stated that he wants Britney to have visitation rights and to have a good relationship with her sons - but she needs to get better and she needs to be serious about getting better first - is it really wrong for a father to be concerned about the welfare of his children? He is doing the right thing for now, he's not going on ET or another tabloid show, he is taking care of his business-Would it really be prudent to do what MS says? No - KFed is handling this situation - in the future if he sells out and goes on TV, then we can slam him for improper behavior, but for right now, he is doing right by his two sons - I know BS is sick, but seriously, does she strike you as a mother longing to be with her children? Aside from her mental illness, she is still a very immature, selfish little girl.

Mr Sands also says this:
In Britney's case, her parents need to let Sam Lutfi in her life and drop this. You can't blame someone for mental illness. Everyone has to lay off before Britney dies accidentally!"

I doubt that at this point, it's not even up to Kevin to allow visitation. If you'll all remember, Family Services stepped in as well as they had concerns about Britney's parenting skills, or lack of them. We didn't get to hear their grievances since it was closed to the public. My guess is, the state also has banned Britney from seeing the children-especially after she took them hostage. Kevin has done what's best for the kids-he absolutely has stepped up to the plate. I don't know how this guy can defend Sam and slam Kevin with an straight face. He certainly doesn't have a flair for words. He sounds as deranged as Britney. Osama is going to go down in the annals of history as a modern day Svengali who helped destroy "America's Sweetheart". Meh, I can't stand her, but she does have her fans, and they are rabid! Osama is famous now, just like OJ Simpson and Howard K Stern. But, I wouldn't want to have that kind of infamy. Accept your restraining order, Osama. You look like a pussy.

Kevin doesn't NEED to be doing anything other than what he is doing. This sands guy is an idiot, no wonder he got fired. He's now on Lutfi's "payroll"...so, how is oSAMa paying for all of this?

Pleaseeeeeeee keep this up Sands. you are slitting your own throat. You are going down with Osama and I can't wait.

Posted by: Keep It Up Buddy Dig That Grave


Fuck Sam. Kevin needs to lead his own life and protect his kids, which he's doing. Britney is not his responsibility. Britney is Britney's responsibility. I wish the people around her would stop passing the blame. That includes you, X17.

Posted by: Anon2


5:08 - yeah? why now? What's changed? They certainly didn't motivate her in the past -
first when she was on the verge of losing them - nope, no motivation then to get it together and
later, after she lost them but still had supervised visits she still wasn't motivated to do what it would take to get them back.
Again I say I'm sorry but her needs do not outweigh what's in the childrens best interest and right now I just don't think that's her.

Newsflash to Sands:

This isn't about what YOU think is in the best interest of Britney.

It's about what the COURT has determined is in the best interest of the KIDS.

Kevin should help her.

Courts need to lay off.

She should be able to see her 'friends' that's laughable, she has no friends, only people that use her.

This guy is a joke.

Posted by: Anonymous


AMEN to the first 4:51 pm! The worst thing Kevin could do right now is go against the court's ruling and allow Britney to see the kids. She isn't well enough and it will just confuse the two little boys more. When Britney gets better (and it will probably take awhile) I'm sure visitation and maybe perhaps custody will be re-established. Until then, the current no contact policy is best for all.

FUCK BRITNEY SPEARS. Once your kids are old enought to learn your stupid Hick dumb ugly druggie ass wouldnt fight for them, they will hate you, just like the WORLD hates your stuoid ugly ass.

I don't for one minute believe that this is the publicist talking. This sounds like Osama Lutfi. If a publicist is doing his job, he's speaking "for" his client. Who is his client? Osama. It's obvious Sam doesn't want to make any more statements now, so he's paying Sands to do his evil work. Kevin is doing the right thing to force Britney to get treated before seeing the kids. Plus, it was the judge's decision to suspend visitation, not Federline's. Federline doesn't have that much power.

Oh,please. Leave Kevin alone, at least he isn't running his mouth trying to make a buck like the rest of these asshats. He truly seems to be concerned for the boys. He isn't obligated or entitled to talk about the mother of his children in a public forum. And she does NOT deserve to expose those kids to her drug addicted/abusing behavior. Not buying the mental illness. IF it even exists it is undoubtedly because she fried her brain. Sam & his mouthpiece need to STFU.

UNFITNEY has spent YEARS RUNNING AMOK... when her parents FINALLY get her institutionalized, SHE FIGHTS TREATMENT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY & then CHECKS OUT as soon as she possibly can to GET LAID by the PAP MAN & FIGHT OFF HER FATHER's CONSERVATORSHIP!!

she NEVER showed this much 'passion' or 'focus' for HER PRECIOUS BOYS!

you BRITARDS believe ANYTHING anyone tells you about UNFITNEY as long as it is in alignment of your 'IMAGE' of her... you latch on to 'ANYTHING' that makes her 'LOOK' good, no matter how far-fetched or illogical...

why not wait 1 year before singing her praises, mmm'kay? let's see if she can *STAY* indoors; dress like a lady & not flash the world her tits & ass; stop screwing anything that moves; let's see if she can actually FINISH a PARENTING WORKSHOP; & stay clean & sober...

asking her to walk the straight & narrow for 12 months isn't a lot, considering she's been an 'ANIMAL' for years!!

Conservators to Dump Brit's Manager!

Posted Feb 8th 2008 8:28PM by TMZ Staff

Britney SpearsTMZ has confirmed that one of the things that went down in yesterday's hearing involving Britney's conversatorship is that the commissioner granted the conservators the power to fire her manager, Howard Grossman.

Commissioner Reva Goetz ordered Howard Grossman to turn over "all documents, records and assets relating to Britney Spears" to Brit's dad, Jamie, who along with attorney Andrew Wallet, is the court-appointed conservator of Brit and her estate.

Though the firing hasn't gone down yet, we're guessing the reason Brit's fam wants him out is because Grossman has a very cozy relationship with Sam Lutfi -- something that makes Brit's family very uncomfortable.

Britney's Lawyers Want Out!

Posted Feb 8th 2008 7:37PM by TMZ Staff

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned that Britney Spears' divorce lawyers, Trope and Trope, have filed papers requesting to be removed as her counsel. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for March 10.

Could this be the first step in the process to bring back Spears family fave Laura Wasser? Stay tuned.

Posted by: Anonymous


As usual X17 is totally behind in giving us the news - TMZ reports that the courts have given Jaime the ok to fire Grossman and Trope and Trope have asked to be dismissed as counsel (could Wasser be coming back)?
As far as I can tell Britney's parents have done more in one week to get Britney's life back on track than all of her loser, enabler, hangers on did in 6 months!
Actually, they are about equal what parents have done in one week, Alli and Sam did in one week to help her spiral downward.

with all that's come out recently about Osama can you still say that brit is solely responsible for losing her kids?

OSAMA kept her delusional and drugged up and g-d knows what nonsense he was feeding her in this state for her to lock herself in the bathroom with her kids.

if he had her best interest at heart he wouldn't make a mockery of her during court sessions- who knows he probably fed her psychotic drugs so she would act the fool and lose custody so he can have total control over her and her finances.

that man is a NUTCASE and from all i've read........sounds to me like HE has "mental issues" himself and needs to be medicated and committed!!!!

I was starting to think Kfed is a good dad but methinks he and osama arein bed together to get all of brits $$$ the same 'players' keep popping up in the mix and it's starting to look a little shady - oh what a wicked web we weave and all that.

agreed brit shouldn't have full access to kids just yet but supervised visitation - definitely

Posted by: i hate that i just took time to write all this ugggh


Ummm, helllloooo - they're divorced! His only job is making sure those boys are happy and healthy... Buttney is a fucking adult and needs to take care of her own problems. He tried to get into rehab and basically threatened her to be drug tested or else - hence the shaving of the head.

I feel bad for Britney and I hope that her parents intervening will help save her...but for now, she is in no way capable of parenting. Kevin Federline is doing the right thing in protecting those kids. When Britney gets help and gets her meds figured out and has a consistant pattern of good behavior and can prove that she isn't a threat to herself or anyone else then they should start out with supervised visits.

Posted by: Anonymous


Yes, there were already talks of Britney getting supervised visits when she was in the hospital. Even the Britney fan sites had the articles up. She blew it again when she fled and showed her ass. Stop blaming Kevin. He's one of the few people, who really cares about her.

I feel bad for Britney and I hope that her parents intervening will help save her...but for now, she is in no way capable of parenting. Kevin Federline is doing the right thing in protecting those kids. When Britney gets help and gets her meds figured out and has a consistant pattern of good behavior and can prove that she isn't a threat to herself or anyone else then they should start out with supervised visits.

OK! has learned exclusively that Britney Spears left her house this afternoon in an unmarked black Escalade and went on a shopping spree along Rodeo Drive. An eyewitness says the former pop star hid in the back of the SUV so that she wouldn' t be spotted by the paparazzi. Accompanied by her Israeli bodyguard, Brit then made her way to Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood where she is right now!

Kevin ROCKS! Most women should be so lucky to have an ex-husband like him... Yes, she's supported him monitarily, but the way he has stepped up, kept his mouth shut is SERIOUSLY HOT! I would date that in a HEARTBEAT...

Hey dummy! The court decided she couldnt' see her kids, not Kevin. He can't 'grant' her anything! What a knob.

So the world should just " chill " out & let the crazy bitch lose it & drown her kids! Great advice!

Just let Adoptalina adopt tater tot & small fry!

Oh wait! never mind! shitney's kids are white Americans.

I do agree that brit being able to see her children supervised even once a week would help her recovery and give her a big push.
She has an illness and someone who was brainwashing her so that she missed dates to court and did not fully understand the importance of it all. they are to partily blame for that. kids give you hope and reason that you must go on and be the best you can for them.

PEOPLE:
Britney Gets a House Call – from a Hairdresser
By Maureen Harrington
Originally posted Friday February 08, 2008 08:25 PM EST
Britney Spears is addressing more than her mental health needs – she got a house call from a hairdresser.
"Britney needed some help with her extensions and wanted to talk about a new color," says Kim Vo, celebrity colorist and owner of Kim Vo, Beverly Hills and Kim Vo, in the Mirage in Las Vegas. "I hadn't worked with her before, but they asked me so nicely to help."
Vo arrived at her Beverly Hills home on Thursday afternoon – the day after her early release from UCLA's psych ward – and worked with the troubled pop star for four hours in a spare bathroom.
"She was more patient than I would have been," says Vo, who is an E! commentator and has appeared on Extreme Makeover. "She was sweet and has that Southern hospitality... She offered me iced tea and asked if I was comfortable."
Finding her scalp and hair in great shape – and "her skin is glowing, like a young girls," says Vo – he streaked her dark brown locks with a caramel color. "We wanted to brighten it up a bit. She's ready for something new," he says.
While Vo and Spears worked in the upstairs, her mom was downstairs cooking chicken for dinner.
"That smells so good, mama," Spears called down the stairs.
Vo felt none of the drama that has surrounded Spears and her family.
"It's a peaceful home," says the hairdresser. "It was not a rock-and-roll kind of place. Very classic and peaceful. She gave me a hug when I finished and both she and her mom told me how much they liked her new look."
====================================================================================================
GOOD LUCK BRITNEY! GOD BLESS YOU...

HER decisions cost her those boys - NOTHING ELSE...when she can be responsible, the courts will give her some time with them. Or maybe the parents she hates can help her....again.

That's too big of a risk for the boys. and would only confuse them even more.

she needs to get things together to present a strong loving mother to them.

I don't think anyone here is trying to save Britney, but they do not wish her more harm and hope she gets well enough to see her boys again.

Some people on these sites are so full of hate, they are ugly inside and out. They show their rear ends with the nasty posts. I just shake my head at how pathetic they are. They show their ignorance about mental illness, drug abuse and men who are control freaks.

Yeah I don't quite understand what Faggy Jordan sees in Osama. Osama is dumpy, bald, has gross pasty skin and is generally disgusting looking. I thought gay guys liked hot Abercombie Fitch type model guys with six packs and frosted hair. I guess Faggy Jordan has a complex for shady Arabs who look like trolls that live underground in a sewer.

It is too gross to imagine those two (Faggy Jordan and Sam) out on a date holding hands and making goo-goo eyes at each other. And then imagining them afterward in Faggy Jordan's mom's basement having sex on some plaid couch. Too gross.

Notice how everyone is anti Sam now? No Kira singing his praises, no foul mouthed, disgusting posts. I do believe that there's just one or two people causing all the hate and discontent on here. And I do believe that they are X17 employees, trying to boost visits. Where are the trolls? They seem to be gone tonight. For this, I am grateful.

If O.K.'s report is true and she did 'slip' away from her home without being spotted, shopped and went to the dance studio, still unnoticed.....she could have done this all along but chose to inform the papz of her movements. Must have been a shock for her to see the papz don't follow her enough to find her on their own.

Excuse me? Brit the Nit-Wit sent him a text message telling him she wanted a divorce. Not to mention all the crap she’s put him and their boys through. Maybe she should send him a text asking for help so he can tell her BITE ME!

Listen to the Lauer interview again. She said I’m laughing one minute and cryin’ the next, he helps me. It wasn’t hormones. Brit the Nit-Wit been nuts for years. LMAO! He should sue her fat butt for hiding her mental ***disease*** before marriage and having children. I hope the boys don’t inherit her craziness.

What does this have to do with SAM? This guy is a whack job. I listened to 17 minutes of his bullshit and only 2 were devoted to Sam and everything he said incriminated the guy.

Knocking down Kevin does Sam no good. I know Kevin hated Sam so maybe that is why but this guy, like his employer is CRAZY.

Posted by: Big bang theory


Sam is awful. Kfed created his own problems in his marriage. Britney was vunrable and Sam took advantage. He is a scary creep. Kfed and everyone close to Britney should help her help herself. She is mentally not in any shape to make decisions. But her children are too little to understand. They need to see her so they will stay familiar with their mother. I think it should be supervised visitations. And Kfed DOES need to be involved instead of sending his hired help to tend all dealing with his ex-wife. If I were him, I would be moving heaven and earth to do what was best for my family. He and Britney will always be connected. His children will grow up and see this crap and then ask their Dad why they didn't get the chance to know their mother, ill or not. Kfed was a crappy partner to Shar and even worse husband to Britney. He was too busy leaving her at home with the kids while he partied on Britney's money. Now he would rather get her money, at all cost instead of being a humane caring man. I'm glad her dad stepped up to the plate ... sometimes doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing.

Britney has been entirely uncooperative through all the custody issues, and I really dont think the mental issues are t he reason why. She is just a terribly selfish person that does things for her own benefit, and NEVER puts her kids first.

This guy is an huge ASS to imply that Kevin is the bad guy here.

I honestly think that until she gets better, she should not be given visitation to the kids. It will be to the kids benefit. Even if she isn't crazy, she sure acts like it -- and I think a lot of it is just a game to her and she does it because she can.

I think the best thing to do is that Britney can have access to her kids ONLY if she gets continued treatment and she can prove she is better. She has had way too many chances already.

Didn't she already lock the monitor out of the house during that incident a month or so ago? I think that she has proven that even with supervision, she can't be trusted. It is too big of a risk to have her get back with the boys -- who knows what she will do? Plus i gather the boys were always confused and did not really enjoy their time with her -- so if they really care about the boys, remove Britney from their lives until she is not such a negative influence.

Kevin is not the bad guy here, so this is a very innappropriate remark.

This was posted at Perez' site hours ago. Funny how you left out the part where he said... "IN BRITNEYS CASE, HER PARENTS NEED TO LET SAM LUTFI IN HER LIFE AND DROP THIS"
Hes he fucking retarded??? OMG I cant believe that this slimeball mouthpiece is sticking up for that drug pushing Lutfi. Absolutely outrageous!

Posted by: Anonymous


He's the pot calling the kettle black isn't he? I think Brit's parents are doing a better job in the last few days than anyone in her life has. And I honestly think that is what she really wanted, she was crying out for her family and they are now there for her. They are removing all the garbage from her life, all the enables, users and hangers on including Osama. Drugging a girl, ripping out her phone, disabling her cars - that's not the sign of a stable person. Had any of these people cared for her they would have not have allowed her to humiliate herself in public day after day.

Why don't you people leave her alone. Think about this way since you're so greedy x17 - if you allow her to get well then you'll make more money taking pictures of her. If you keep encouraging Sam to kill her, you will get one big payday but then the well will dry up.

Kevin Fed should back off. He is part of the problem. He wants his legal team to present him as the caring best ever father. Well give me a break. I believe he was trying to break her down for money. I want him to be exposed just for what he is. I think he is a user and loser.

Finally! Someone sticks up for Britney. He is 100% correct - she would recover if given the chance to see her babies. Plus, it is harmful for babies to be pulled away from their mother. Shame on you, Kevin F!

Posted by: Anonymous




Losing all visitation to the kids is part of hitting rock bottom for Britney. Kevin isn't the problem, he's part of the solution.

We haven't seen her eating at convenience stores, maybe her folks are making sure she gets some old fashioned home cooking. She's at Millenium working out. One step at a time.

She's getting some intense help right now. Let's just hope the conservatorship goes beyond Feb 14 so that she won't slide back into old habits.

I couldn't agree with this guy more. As long as she is on her medication and they have a few nurses with her both she and her boys would benefit from a visit or two.

Gee, sorry we’re wasting your time. Maybe you should drop by Brit’s house. First, exchange clothes (including those crusty jeans and boots). Next, you style each other’s rat-weave hair. Then, swap recipes for homemade junk food so you can rot what’s left of your infant children’s teeth. Next, remove your panties and drive around aimlessly all night. Stop at every coffee shop, pharmacy and greasy food joint and flash your lady-bits to the photogs. Giggle when they reassure you that “You’re Beautiful!” Pick your favorite Pap and take him home with you.

Do society a favor – if Brit is you’re ideal for motherhood …Don’t reproduce!

She doesn't deserve to see those kids until she takes it upon herself to be serious about seeking help. She has had far too many opportunities to get show up for court, and she blows it off...does that show responsible parenting? Just because someone is mentally ill does not mean their irresponsibility should be overlooked, so enough is enough about "poor" Britney. She's made her bed, now she better jsut lie in it and deal with it!

Sands needs to reinvent himself. Guess what? Nobody is listening to you Lutfi. We are all just sitting here waiting for you to get yours. You can't bullshit your way out of this one, no matter who you hire. You are going down and you better go find another asshole to crawl up, if I were you I wouldn't show my face for years, if ever. Your little Hardcastle buddy better watch his ass too, for being your accomplice. Don't tell us you tried to help her, you almost killed her, while getting your rocks off in amusement of your own power. Blood is thicker than water. We are over you and when she wakes up from this nightmare circus you've commanded, she will hate you Lutfi. You are yesterday's news...go pump some gas.

Oh Bullshit! Mommy Dearest has been on a full tilt meltdown since Jayden James was only 2 months old. That poor baby doesn’t have a clue, who that dirty, skanky, hysterical rat haired/pink wigged nutcase that drove him and his brother around all night even was. I feel really bad for Sean Preston because she probably scares the hell out of him. Has anyone else ever noticed the boys always clutched their hands together in the back of her crazy-mobile when they were scared and crying? Those boys will be taunted by other kids when their older – thanks to the egg donor. Not all child abuse leaves bruises. She’s not a victim, she victimized those boys.

I hope she never breeds again.

Sands is trying to play the card of the kids being held hostage and that Kevin and everyone else in the world is behind it! The fact that he is trying to shove Sam back into the mix says everything in the world about what a bunch of lies they are spouting! Did anyone else notice the timing of this? They are doing it during KFed's FIRST WORKING TRIP away! PAID TRIP, I said! I guess they didn't notice either how the court made this decision, yet they try to make it look like it was all Kevin's fault! I'm surprised the Britards aren't totally backing all this because it is so ridiculously stupid and unreasonable that they should fall for it and some of them still do -including the head Britard from breatheheavy! But even some of the once hard-core Britards are starting to see the light and just how sick their hero is! Welcome to reality!
