Britney Spears’ former “manager” Sam Lutfi is finally getting his day in court. In suing for defamation and money he feels he earned during their partnership – her dark period of 2007-08, not coincidentally, Lutfi is making some shocking allegations: Britney Spears: MTV VMAs 2007 Spears took a massive amount of amphetamines the night she was strapped to a gurney and placed on a 5150 hold, according to Sam Lutfi . On January 28, 2008, Britney had an amphetamine prescription filled; she took 6-8 pills early in the day, and several more later and went off the rails. Lutfi’s lawyer said he tried to get Britney to meet with a psychiatrist days before she was 5150’d, but she refused, despite having been a mess for months prior to that. She certainly was in the throes of a downward spiral throughout 2007. Speaking of … Sam claims he tried to talk Britney out of her disastrous performance at the MTV Awards in 2007 (above), because she was overweight and didn’t rehearse. Spears was so paranoid that her hair contained traces of the hardcore drugs she was using that Britney shaved her head to hide possible “evidence.” Britney was a serious crystal meth addict. Sam’s lawyer, Joseph Schleimer, had a field day yesterday, somehow claiming that his client repeatedly told Britney she needed to get off drugs, to no avail. Schleimer says Sam: Tried to enlist a whole team of people to help her. Brought in a drug-sniffing dog and found meth. Was attacked by Britney’s dad Jamie Spears. Introduced Britney to fiance Jason Trawick . As for Sam’s managerial role, Schleimer says Britney approached HIM and offered 15 percent of her earnings – $800,000 a month when she wasn’t on tour, way more when she was. Britney’s side has yet to respond to these allegations, most of which are patently false and the rest are legally flimsy at best. Good luck proving any of that. How can a hard ass drug addict be competent enough to sign or agree to any financial deal? Isn’t that just undermining your own case there Sam?

For four years, since he first came forward to say that former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abused him, he’s been known as Victim Number 1. Jerry Sandusky Victim #1 Testimony In a new book, the key witness against him is ready to share not only his name, but the horror of the abuse he suffered and how he found the courage to speak out. Aaron Fisher, 18, is releasing Silent No More: Victim 1’s Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky , with his psychologist, Mike Gillum, and his mother, Dawn Daniels. The book is due out October 23 and published by Random House. “Saying sexual abuse has happened was hard,” says Fisher . “But I wanted to help people see that it is better to come forward and tell somebody than to be silent.” It took Fisher, who says he was abused by Sandusky from ages 12-15, three years before he found the courage to tell his mother and officials at his high school. By speaking out, he helped launch the investigation, which eventually led to Sandusky’s conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse and the downfall of Joe Paterno. Victim No. 1 played a key role at Sandusky’s trial this year, and at the end of it, the disgrace to humanity was sentenced to 30-60 years in prison . He will never see the light of day again.
