Britney Spears JOSE0820.jpg Despite all the craziness surrounding last night's events, it's a relief to see that at least some of Britney's friends were able to watch out for her interests - like her old pal Sam Lutfi, who made sure to bring Britney's lawyer Tara Scott down to Cedars Sinai!

Here's our footage of Sam and Tara making their way into the hospital amid all the chaos last night. (You'll also see Jamie Spears, Kevin Federline, and a worried-looking Mark Kaplan on the scene, as well hear some no-comments from emergency personnel.)

Good lookin' out, Sam - if it wasn't for his foresight last night, Tara might have been screwed this morning!
