BRITNEY SPEARS - SPEARS ESTRANGED MANAGER SERVED WITH RESTRAINING ORDER

BRITNEY SPEARS' estranged manager SAM LUTFI was served with a temporary restraining order on Thursday (21Feb08), ordering him to keep away from the troubled star and her family. Under the terms of the order, Lutfi is forbidden from being within 250 yards of the Toxic singer, her properties or any of her family's properties. As conservator of Spears' estate, her father Jamie sought the restraining order and claimed Lutfi had avoided being served for three weeks. Lutfi was finally served with the legal papers at 11am on Thursday as he left his Los Angeles apartment. According to People.com, the order claims: "Mr. Lutfi has drugged Britney. He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He claims to control everything."
